Devils Vs Flyers - League - 25th March 23 - 19:00 FO

[James]

And so we head kicking and screaming into the last few weeks of the season. Devils are still statistically in the mix by their fingernails but any combination leading us to victory is realistically gone. At the other end of the table Flyers are currently sitting in the relegation zone but within touching distance to the Clan and a place in the Play off quarters. Devils are going to face a desperate team Saturday night, play like we know we can and we'll have no problems, play like we know we do and its going to be a tough one.

My only hope for Saturday is that Dupont doesn't bench Lou and Chad stays as a forward.

Both made a sizeable presence on Sundays game so it makes sense to keep with what's working

Stick with what works, totally agree.

This game genuinely worries me, Fife are going to be fighting for their lives, we will probably be complacent, it could be a frustrating one especially if Shane Owen is on form as usual!

It’s a dead rubber to me, yes we want to win it, but it ain’t going to alter much in the long run.

 

[Christopher]

Dead rubber game are you pissed ? Devils need to go for third place then we play Storm in the playoffs and bragging rights for finishing higher than the Steelers in the league. Fife fans would disagree too as they can still qualify for the playoffs

Never mind it being a dead rubber game. This is the fourth dead rubber season in a row.

If we beat Fife we may be helping Stephen Dixon to get the coaching job next season.
I personally believe he has done a good job with the hand he was dealt.

Hardly a dead rubber mate, could help us go 3rd, to avoid Blaze in QF's and finish above the traffic cones.

One of the players told a few of us in Belfast on the weekend that Dicko has "Signed in Europe". So I am guessing a player coach or coaching role?

Nothing dead rubber about any of the remaining games. Whilst no-one remembers the teams that finish 2nd, 3rd etc in the League, it's still crucial to get a decent position to avoid being drawn against Blaze in Playoff QF.

Those two games against the Steelers are particularly key.

Unless the Devils would prefer the Blaze over the Storm?

I don't think there is any great advantage either way. If we play well, we will win, if we don't, we won't. Quite pleased that this looks to be the choice as they are two of the more entertaining opposition teams to watch this year.

Agreed.

I think it could be a great couple of games whichever way it does.

 

[ASHIPP]

At end of p1 in Belfast, score is 4-1 to Giants playing Steelers.

 

[Kevin roog]

2nd , 3 rd or 4 th , who gives a shit, I hope we get Coventry , I like that away trip

Yes, as I said in another thread keefe would've got his players up for this game after losing 1 point last week..

 

[BostonBart22]

End 2nd 6.. 1 giants, well it looks like a 3rd place shootout between us and steelers

 

[E.D.S.]

Foot off the gas time for Giants but that is a pumping in any one’s books and still a period to go.

 

[BostonBart22]

Kicking off in belfast.
