steelers Vs Devils - League - 14th Nov 21
- Thread starter James
- Start date
Yeah I want to see a few more weekends like this before the “what was all the fuss about” quotes come out.
The players deserve massive credit for picking up two wins this weekend and tonight certainly isn’t a time to point out our deficiencies.
Next weekend will be a different challenge though. Guildford and Sheffield will always have a go at us where as Dundee and Fife next weekend might be happy to sit back. This season we’ve struggled against teams that have done that so I hope we’ve learned a few lessons. Tonight’s certainly a good night to be a Devils fan tho!

Worth remembering that the most public critics of the team included Skalde, Kelman and Steve King (and quite rightly so, given the way we were playing) and not just those on the Inferno who are prepared to comment on what they see on the ice, whether good or bad. We’ve seen a great bounce back this weekend, which quite frankly, we had to see, given the comments from the club this week. Long may it continue.
I thought O’Connor had a superb game under a lot of pressure, far more controlled and given the situation, mentally he was strong.
Love going up there and silencing an 8000 strong crowd within minutes. I do think our game is suited by playing the Steelers but even so, this was an immense performance. DuPont’s size and vision allowed Sanford and Cox to run riot, McNally was everywhere on the ice and Crandall had a stormer. Struggling to think of anything I would change ….. and after all the talk of ex-Devils coming back to haunt us, Sointu was kept to the outside throughout by Mikkelson and Mosey was pressurised into mistakes that led to goals.
Looking forward to the Scotland trip after that and hoping that a corner has been turned

The good ol' hockey game...
What an incredible result tonight to cap off an excellent weekend.
The team have taken a lot of stick of late, much of it deserved, but hopefully they've turned the corner now.
Chuffed for us fans, the players, TK and the officials and of course, Jarrod Skalde, who let's not forget, has been through a challenging period away from the ice.
Onwards and upwards!

Nobody saw that coming!
After Saturdays game (which was a better performance as of late) I felt we were the 2nd best team and that our chances yesterday were very slim.......I loved being wrong in my thinking, it was a superb team performance. Crandall was absolute class as was Carruth.
Louis imo had his best weekend in a Devils jersey for a long time. He threw the body all Saturday and last night did exactly what he should have and gave that cheap tosser a pasting! Well done big Lou.
It is infuriating to see how we can play when everyone buys in. That was the same team we saw pre season who troubled the giants of Europe. We need to make sure we don't get carried away however as the Steelers looked pretty gutless last night and i'm sure they will bounce back.
Overall superb bounce back ability. There are still a couple that need to keep proving themselves and up the intensity but WELL DONE the boys!

What a great feeling to wake up too on a Monday morning, 4 awesome points in the bag which is a wicked feeling, but then as a massive bonus to shut out that lot up the Motorway at their own house of tin, and to have wiped the floor with them and also it could have been more, and also as a added bonus seeing the lads playing the way they were, playing as a real team, playing for each other, and playing for the shirt with pride. So a great morning to awake too all due to our great club. Very Happy Hockey Days.
