Like a few of us said on here the other day it’s very surprising that no interviews have been posted online yet. How long has Skalde been here for now? At least 9 days isn’t it? I thought we would see loads of interviews in the first week after having no hockey for nearly 18 months. It’s not a big deal but we’re usually pro active with things like this. It’s a surprise to me

Give them a break I think Todd and Skalde are pretty busy. Can you imagine what its like getting players into the UK from different countries and then organising travel for the CHL in the middle of Covid with all the different ever changing rules. I just tried to take my family to France and I failed.
Cmon now. I’m talking about a 5 minute interview at the end one of the 4 or 5 training sessions they’ve probably already had. I don’t care how busy you are that is doable in the 10 or so days Skalde has been here. I’ve got such a high regard for how the club has been run since Todd came in that I’m just a bit surprised we haven’t heard from anybody yet. It’s especially surprising as we’ve got a new coach, 14 new players and we haven’t had a game for nearly 18 months.
A 5 minute interview can take hours of editing.
I don’t know why anyone cares so much about an interview. They’ll only spit out the company line for every question.
I can tell you what most answers will be: great city, great welcome, so happy to finally be here, team will play fast and work hard, excited to play in front of great fans in IAW, CHL will be such a challenge but can’t wait to test ourselves against the best in Europe…
Blah blah blah.

Not to get off topic, but;
A one camera interview does not take hours, not if you're any good anyway. Plus, the editing would be done by someone else, the IceTime Tv crew perhaps, so would not take any more time for Todd, Skalde or a player.
The company line excuse could be used for any pre-match, post match, coach or player interview ever in sports. They still should be done however for media responsibilities, ticket sales, fan engagement etc.
There might be a valid reason we haven't heard anything. A Covid bubble for 10 days perhaps, with no outsiders allowed. But the above are not valid reasons.

Well I had tickets for the first two matches but now Im going to miss them both. Despite 2 vaccines and rigid mask wearing I and my whole family have Covid. Absolutely gutted and my 9 year old daughter is really upset.

I forgot about freesports. Thanks for reminding me. My daughter will be so pleased. Im over the worst of the Covid but I think a Devils win could get us back to full health. Thankfully although both testing positive, the kids have been symptom free. The wife seemed to get it worst. Its still a nasty virus even with the vaccine.
