Flyers Vs Devils - League - 27th Nov 22 - 18:00 FO
- Thread starter James
- Start date
League is gone. A shutout in Fife means nothing and an OT loss at home against Coventry is not good enough.
As much as l hate to say it Belfast and Sheffield are better teams this year. Superior rosters, superior coaching, superior budgets. The best we can hope for is to win the Continental cup and l even have reservations about that.
I haven't been to a home game in ages because this team bores me. l can't even be bothered to check the scores anymore and only this evening looked at the results from this weekend. I'd rather watch the New Jersey Devils than Cardiff right now. The product is over priced and poor value, that goes for everything, the tickets, the merch the beer and the food. Massive fall in standards in a couple of short years. I'm sure all the die hards who post here day in day out will say we have no right to win all the time, and l will agree to a certain extent. This organisation has lost its ambition though as far as I'm concerned. We have a team of coasters, an inexperienced and unimaginitive coach who is probably dirt cheap and a GM who wants to fill the arena with corporate guests or Saturday Cardiff Bay casuals who care more about snorting coke and necking over priced pints of piss than watching a decent match of hockey.
I've got better things to spend my time and money on than the Cardiff Devils, which is a massive shame.

I'm a season ticket holder and I still enjoy my evenings at the rink even if the performances aren't at the level of previous years. I've even booked on the fan bus to Sheffield this Saturday which I may end up regretting if we get thumped.
Last year a third place finish in the league was considered disappointing but considering how well Guildford, Belfast & Sheffield are all playing there's a distinct possibility that Cardiff could end up in 4th place this year. That said given how solid Coventry are looking as well we could well have a fight on our hands just to get 4th place.

I have to agree on the league title, it is beyond us, as we are just too inconsistent. One night, great - the next night we can’t string two passes together. It must be a mental issue as we know what these players can do when they’re on it. I can see us challenging for the play offs, even the CC if we can get past Sheffield but I just cannot see this team going on a lengthy unbeaten run, where we grind out the tough wins when we have to. That was beyond us last year, and is beyond us this year too with so many returning players. There’s a lesson right there for our recruiters for next season, whoever they may be.
League = 5th.
Challenge Cup = out next round.
Playoffs = won’t qualify.
Might aswell start the off-season rumours thread now unless the team is shaken up!
Was sure I spotted Jesper Orhvall roller-blading over the barrage yesterday eating a 6” subway with Ham, Tomato, Lettuce, Gherkin, Spring onion and low fat Mayo!!
