Devils Vs Storm - League - 9th March 23 - 19:30 FO
- Thread starter James
- Start date
Lost tonight, Blaze up next. God help us when we get to play Steelers and Giants. Tonight is dent in our chase for a top 3 finish. At least the Owners can see how truly lousy our pp is.....and against a team with a statistically poor pk record this season. It's effective special teams that win tight games.
Credit to the Storm, or rather their goalie, who had an outstanding game.
Always knew it was going to be too much pressure wearing those retro jerseys....and living up to the Greats who wore the original ones.....

Exactly what I said to my mate on the way out.
what utter garbage. 0/5 on the power play again, which is unbelievable.
But judging from the Q&A, everyone who has said in here they aren’t going to renew their season ticket if DuPont is here next season are going to save a few quid, as he’s definitely back from the way he was talked about as “a seen winner”

Awful performance. Having heard the ownership group in the bar before the game stating they were 100% behind DuPont and convinced he would be a winner for us, plus that they only saw the need to “tweak” this team next year, well I’m glad they got to witness that crap in person tonight. They might just realise there’s plenty wrong with this team and this coach. Just not good enough I’m afraid.
Shambles. I thought our tempo was good for the first 10/15 minutes (as you’d expect with the owners in town) but Storm were the better team in the 2nd and we were toothless in the third.
The Powerplay? Dear god. 9th in the league is an embarrassment for Dupont and for the players. I appreciate that a few players have lost their confidence but some of these players must be handsomely paid (for this level) and you simply need them to perform. That’s why they’re on the PP for a top 5 team and not Fife or Dundee.
I’ve stuck up for Dupont many times this season but our PP is 9th and penalty kill is 6th. The players deserve criticism for that but you have to question the coaching as well. We persist with Reid or Sanford on the one timer from the off wing (usually a ridiculous angle) and it’s clearly not working. Goalies know what’s coming week in week out.
