Bad feeling in the 'Grapes Department' -
Devils looking for revenge after last weekend. I'm going :-
Cardiff 7 : Panthers 3.

[Yotes]

0-1 Crandall

[Yotes]

0-2, strange one, can't really see how that went in

[Yotes]

0-3

[Yotes]

Those last two were from Cox. We've not been 0-3 bad.

[Yotes]

End of the first. Welychka the pick for us so far, no particularly good chances though.

[The Flying Shirt]

Not playing bad at all but a long way back now

[wgray]

Looked good on the powerplay but that’s about it, maybe a bit unfortunate to be 3-0 down tbh, be a monumental effort to get anything out of this now.

[Bagheera]

Was going to watch tonight but nodded off so missed the start. Not bothering now. Good to have some insight. Easy to asume back to reality but sounds like it wasn't that bad.

[Yotes]

1-3 no idea who. Looked like Louis stuck it in.

[Yotes]

1-4, Coughler late in the second.

Brassard (and Hazeldine this time) having a cracking game again ! 🙄🙈

[Yotes]

Hazeldine stopped a certain goal in the first when Dubeau left one in the crease.

[Yotes]

1-5 Davies

It’s Brassard who’s the liability,he’s pants.
Every time I look at who’s been on the ice for goals conceded #13 seems to be there far too often.
And then there’s all the times he fanny’s about with the puck in front of goal and gets in trouble but gets away with it.

Always next season

1-6 Brittain

So average as a team defensively, Devils commentators have just talked about how their D-men have been pinching a lot more than compared to against other teams, potentially due to the lack of defensive awareness our forwards have.

We then don’t have the composure and quality on the back end to counter Cardiff’s aggressive forecheck and play through it to give our attacking players the chance to be effective.

So many obvious flaws in this team, changing the coach will not change any of it, the balance of the team is wrong up front and the quality just isn’t there on defence.

So disheartening and I feel for any fans that have made the journey today

exactly this. I don’t have a problem with people saying GG should be sacked but it won’t change a thing. Sack some players and bring in some replacements and if it still fails after that then sack GG and bring in someone new next season.

[Yotes]

2-6, Kelsall

[Yotes]

Yeah not great that one.

First period I didn't think there was that much between the teams, 3-0 flattered them a bit. Second we got the scrappy one but didn't really create anything else. Third was sloping ice for the first 10 minutes, we got going a bit more when the game was lost, but too late then.

I reckon a surprise CC is pretty much our best chance of anything this year, so best win on Sunday.

[The Flying Shirt]

Cardiff were good tonight. The definition of a well balanced team.

[Mark]

Someone please tell me how this brand new era is any different from the crappy old era?
The longest con in British ice hockey.......Ever.
