Hi there devils fans

With the weekend just gone beating the Braehead clan and an outstanding effort by the whole team we are all so very excited for the playoff weekend.

And i think i can speak for all the Cardiff devils we appreciate all the support from all the fans you guys have been great all season long and you have come up big for us at the end of the season with traveling to Braehead and picking us up while we were down, the sell-out crowd against Nottingham and Sundays game with the big win it helps and its much appreciated.

This week so far all the boys have been up on a high and we are very confident about going to Nottingham. Also with the sun out this week we have be able to get out and play cooler after practice (football game) with lots of tan ass going on as some of you fans may have seen before games, and id like to thank CJ for my massive head ache on Tuesday after throwing the ball in my face i enjoyed that one.

The guys playoff fades have been a hit too (haircut) with Bennys Mrs loving his naaaaat and also dj deadpuck (myerso's) flapps helping him with those behind the back glove saves this week in juice boy even Michael crisp got in on the action and joined Myersy with the flapps, CJ coming straight out of the army too, I can’t say too much though i have a huge line going through mine.

It has been a good week of practice so far with G preparing us for the Nottingham match up and drilling the systems into us. All the boys working hard and you can see it in guys eyes that we want to win.

I need to give a shout out to some of the guys for various reasons each guy has come up big for us in some way or another this season and especially the last couple weeks being down a couple guys first off Chris Whitley he came in late in the season and has been outstanding for us and has stood on his head time and time again. The D men Tyson, Kenton , G, Richie, Mark smith, playing shorthanded they are playing some serious ice time and have come up big for us with marks block shots, G helping out in the goal department and being real physical, Kenton playing whilst hurt, marshy playing as strong as ever and Richie going coast to coast they have all been tremendous for us.

 The Stu, blighter and max line playing big for us scoring tons of goals and playing a huge amount of ice time, double shifting with the power plays and penalty kills. Benny, Jessie and Cj have been playing great Jessie with that big presents and scoring at big times benny playing at both ends of the ice strong and CJ scoring two big goals for us to help us get the lead against Braehead, the young brit line i say young Piggsie just turned 27 but he has been huge for us on the PK and been in guys faces, rupe also in guys faces and stepping up from the enl sorry (NIHl) he’s been a huge help. Myersy coming up big for us too with his A game DJing skills #DJdeadpuck Wednesday was 90s day. Chris hart has been helping out too chirping guys and has been a good teammate all the way by keeping us up all the time on the bench and in the locker room.

Also Franny and Faulks have been great keeping us going and teaching us all of their knowledge and keeping the guys on their toes. Been a big loss having Batchy hilly and Faulks out but there always around with there support and it’s nice to have hilly back in the line-up. Some of this goes un noticed and the guys all chip in in their own ways in their roles and have all been great and have been a pleasure to play with i don't want the season to end its been a lot of fun.

I’d like to thank the red army for all their support and i hope you have enjoyed the season as much as i have and i have been proud to say that i am a Cardiff Devil and been very proud to put that jersey on every game and play in front of the best fans in the league and i am excited to see all you guys up in Nottingham this weeks.
Thanks again
