Flyers Vs Devils - League - 7th Nov 21
- Thread starter James
- Start date
Another game where we have 90% possession twice the shots on goal, but no end product. We don't look like there is any urgency to our play. At the start of the season I couldn't believe how fast our forwards were, but not so much now. It's all blue line stuff.
I'm going to Sheffield next week I just hope there is something to cheer for.

This is possibly the most lethargic game I have watched in 5 years.
I think you could count the amount of hits, or even bumps along the board, on one hand.
We are just passing it around aimlessly, then throw the puck on net with zero presence.
We have done exactly one thing well, and that was our goal (which was on the PP).
This is not the team of the last few years I know, but right now we look a bit hopeless.
I’m not suggesting people don’t care, but it looks like they’re playing NHL November games, where if you go down it’s not the biggest deal. That needs to change, and soon.

It’s tricky really because it’s similar to recent games in that the D keeps drifting high up because of lack of obvious outlets with us passing it around before bunging the puck from distance and then looking slow to get back leaving us exposed to counters/lapses in concentration. Forwards wise we seem to have a lot of pass first players out there. Not sure if it’s lack of confidence in squad or a recruitment issue? Not really been any standouts for me. We’ve had a lot of possession but still seem to lack a cutting edge. Commentators seem surprised by how uninventive we are and it isn’t “what you’d normally expect from a Cardiff team.” Must. Not. Panic….
