Re: Devils Vs Panthers - 22nd September - 6:45pm F/O - Chatt
Dan's injury is one of several issues affecting team performance. His absence is not the root cause of everything. Whilst a netminder will give the team a chance to win the game, the team still has to play well and execute systems effectively to succeed.
Several individual howling mistakes and a stuttering powerplay really decided last night's game. Panthers were clever and clinical in every aspect and that's the difference.
To be challenging in certain competitions, I will start to worry if the team are not producing results they need in a couple of weeks. Time will definitely be running out by then.
I don't want to be reading/saying ' a gutsy performance from the Devils.....considering the circumstances' in 5 months time. Allegedly the strongest Devils' team on paper for a while they should have hit the ground running. Accepted that they have been beset with injury and roster changes, they should still be able to execute systems and have a Plan B.

WD. Nortons goal there was a player clearly in the crease and hicks was looking right at him yet allowed the goal, there are to many players not turning up we flame the imports when they dont perform even gas them,for me hilly is lucky he is a brit he needsto take a hard look in the mirror and finally decide if he's a 6" plus hockey player or not cause he sure as hell aint playing like one ben has more physically about him than phil and ben is about 5 inches shorter at a rough guess he even body checked henly for gods sake. Max needs to play upfront and either batch or quinney on D and for me G needs to hand the C to someone else and let mac concentrate on doing what he does best scoring goals the lines need looking at quickly, and im probaly going to get flamed to hell and back but if Lacosta isnt fit within 2 weeks we have to get a new starting nettie, i understand dans health is paramount but how long do we wait. Any hows roll on the steelers I will be there to support my team as always come on Devils we can only get better
