Devils Vs Giants - League - 16th Oct 2021

[BostonBart22]

Inspectors (Environmental Health Officers) out in force this weekend. Enforcement action is on the horizon. I even need a Covid Pass to go racing this weekend.

Off to ffos las are you, do they get 10000 plus there then? or are you off to Ascot

 

[BostonBart22]

I reckon it'll be tight, Devils still giving up too many odd-man rushes & Giants are always a tough team with plenty of tricks up their sleeves.

Agree, our D not up to past Devils standards at the moment, need to get it sorted for these make or break weekend games..

Tough tough game for both teams, play as we can and we will win this game, people saying Giants are the team to beat,how so early in the season having also lost to Stars in the cup,and yes Stars do look pretty good. We lost in ot to Steelers when we could have easily taken 2 points, losses in the CHL mean nothing to me they are a different class. Am I confident today yes I am, overconfident no as I say play as we can and we will be fine, hoping for a physical encounter and edge of seat game. It’s going to be rocking tonight come on you beauties, let’s do this. Happy Hockey Days.

Its 4,000 for outdoor unseated events so its Ffos Las for the Welsh Champion Hurdle. Regrettably I feel much safer outdoor than attending a Devils game

 

[Wannabe2]

That’s perfectly normal Owen most people would, I feel safer in a beer garden than in a pub, and will be wearing my mask respecting others and the clubs wishes. Hope you are well and that we see you in the not too far future.

Block 20 row G by any chance?

Quite possibly! If you know this person DM me!

 

[jenks33]

I can’t say I’m confident about tonight. Skalde and Franny have both mentioned tiredness in recent interviews after all the travel and midweek games. Where as Belfast have probably had one eye on this game for weeks. Hope I’m wrong but I think Belfast will have a bit more energy than us tonight

 

[Wannabe2]

When our gaff gets going tonight we will give our players bags of energy, we need to be the extra man score first and take it from there. Come on lads show us what you are made of.

And we have lost to Coventry too. It’s going to be a tight season, don’t think anyone is going to run away with it. I’d like to see a physical game, lay down a marker tonight and get the points!

Maybe it's my natural pessimism, but I'm really not confident about tonight. A combination of tiredness, our defensive frailties, short of McNally and Belfast wanting to make a point lead me to feel quite negative. I see us losing by 3. :-(

 

[matbur]

Worth noting, it's Belfast's first league game. They've only played Dundee and Fife so far this season (six times and are 5-1). This is their biggest test yet.

Have they only played challenge cup games?

 

[matbur]

Have they only played challenge cup games?

Yeah, not sure how.

 

[Wannabe2]

Yes first league game for belfast

 

[The_Puck]

Belfast are without Murphy and Lake tonight. Both injured. We’re still missing Duggan and McNally. I’m really looking forward to tonight. Very optimistic as well. Will want to put a marker down in the title race and it’s Belfast’s first real test.

 

[paulsasha]

I’m going for a devils win 3-2

 

[ryanxglenton]

Gonna be a tough game that's for sure. Need to bring our A-Game tonight, especially on defence.

Is Duggan definitely out?

 

[ryanxglenton]

Is Duggan definitely out?

He was out for the Lukko game on Wednesday and I haven't heard any update. Big loss if he is not playing tonight.

 

[Ocko]

McNally and Duggan are huge losses. Our forward lineup do lack a bit of grit even with those two, so without it leaves us a little short. Outside of Dixon we have little physical presence in our forwards.
