Sounds like Nolan will be OK. Big relief. Extremely dangerous play by Dowd. I guess he’s not used to getting his ass kicked like that.

Nice weekend by the boys. Really like the makeup of this team.
Thanks for update Steve, he’s had a very good pre season so far so would have been gut wrenching if he had another injury keeping him out

Great news thank you Steve, Steelers were never in this game and the lads were certainly outstanding, our passing was so sublime and we certainly deserved a shut out. I love this team and thank you all for it, even when their down no chins drop, this is one mega close team and it shows no it shines.
 
Looks like he was lifted up and dropped onto his coccyx - with a season-long pelvic injury last year hope he’s OK. Hope we have Ferguson’s number on speed dial if he isn’t.
Never mind Ferguson, I’d rather get the biggest goon out of the LNAH, who doesn’t expect to play every game but can be called upon to act if opposing players pull stunts like this again. Yaremko is lucky he’s not got a serious arm/shoulder injury after that play. Make Dowd‘s life a misery every time he steps on the ice against us this season.

Yes he needs a pasting , but will it happen , doubt it , remember tetlow deliberate attempt to injure ben Davies slamming him into goal frame and broke Ben's arm, nowt happened as we were under PR euro style hockey non contact majority of games , that play stinks with me big time especially when no one stepped up to tetlow after that cheapshot.

Agreed. I see him as a huge part of this team’s success. One of the toughest players in the league (as Dowd’s face can now attest) and someone that can score 20+. That’s a tough player to find.
Hi Steve I know its not your place to interfere but will you be looking to contact the league over this cheapshot pre season or not, a move like that could've ended a players career . If that was rugby or any other contact sport that be a straight red then reviewed for further punishment.

Would not have expected that from Dowd. He's always been a player I respected. Perhaps age is catching up with him, because to be fair, he was taking some mighty blows prior to the rugby tackle.

I've seen a different angle of the fight from a fan's phone. Yaremko defo got the better of it. Dowd didn't land one, just shoulder or helmet hits. It looked like Yaremko caught him sqaure and that's what lead to a crappy take down. Poor form. I can imagine Dave Simms was creaming himself over the "golden child"

Dowd definitely caught him as he had a split eye.

‘no, I don’t get involved in on-ice matters, Bart. Season starts and I’m a fan just like all of us here.

The incident at the end (spineless from Dowd, and I didn’t think I’d ever write that) took away from what was another good outing for the devils, 2 weeks longer on the ice, 2 months, 2 years, couldn’t care less about that, can only judge what we see, perhaps unlucky not to get a few more goals, and again defensively I thought we were superb at vital times
