So we finished lower than ever before in Devils history and didn't make it to the play offs for the first time in a decade. But I would still like to thank the players for their hard work and for not quitting in the most difficult season I have witnessed in 24 years of watcing the devils.
Im not just talking about the player merry go round. The hockey gods and referees also played a part in this disaster.
Off the top of my head, this is what they had to contend with
Injuries to
Mark Smith (x2),
Jake Morissette
Joonas Liimatainen
Ben Davies
Dan La Costa concussed x 3
Kurka (sick not injured)
Mark Richardson
Chris Blight
Players released
Ross
Hill
Adams
Cook
Blight
Joe Myers
Bans
Conboy 12 matches
Conboy 6 matches
Myers 3 matches
Lord 3 matches
Myers (thrown out in last game)
Please add any others that I missed.
I would like to see most of them return and see what they could achieve with some stability. I know that may sound crazy but who wouldn't want Kurka, Tyson Marsh, Ben Davies, Matt Myers, Mac Faulkner, Max Birbraer, Andrew Lord, Piggot and CJ on their team. Also some of the new Europeans like Svete and Gipter did a fairly decent job also.
But I guess that is in the hands of the management, the officials and the hockey gods.
So I say it again. RESPECT !!!
