Devils Vs Ducs - Continental Cup Final #1 - 13th Jan 23 - 19:00 FO

No more than they bloody deserved. That was a f***ING pathetic performance. I'm bloody sick of seeing a devils team that's unprepared for big games. We should have murdered that ducs team, they're well below eihl standard.

 

[Eynonz]

Struggled to hit the target all night in fairness.

 

[BostonBart22]

Our penalties were awful, their keeper didn't need to move ...ah well a point..

 

[Hedd Wyn John]

Probably THE worst penalties I have ever witnessed a Devils team take. Aside from the first one taken all of the others went massively wide, gave their keeper the angle and then shot straight at his leg pads. Oh well roll on tomorrow.

They had a strong goalie but they didn't make him work much in the shootout.

Still a solid performance overall.

 

[Ejercito Rojas]

Lame Ducs!

 

[Bigphilbaby]

We was out coached by a mile, rookie coach and then rookie number 2 brought in, what more can we except in these types of games when experience plays a huge role

Must be a new tactic for taking penalties, take the puck out of the ice area that’s been cut! Some terrible penalties but in truth, I don’t think we deserved to win that game.

 

[RedDevil17]

Still a solid performance overall.

I thought we played crap.

 

[voth26]

Lots of speed and skill in the shl. I prefer it to watching the lower tier NHL teams. The del is also good. A bit closer to our style.

Might have to give that a blast cheers for the heads up

 

[Wannabe2]

Well in fairness we got what we deserved in that game, we were total crap against a shit team. Imagine watching this garbage every week, the crowds would be 20/30 at most. Anyway the better team won and at least the french commentary was a huge upgrade on the Belfast garbage.

Agree with you. I don’t think we were great tonight and we were hanging on in the last 5 minutes of regulation

Still a solid performance overall.

Perhaps I was watching the wrong stream, cos that's not what I saw.

 

[Eynonz]

We need Nitra to slap Angers.

And then hopefully we can play like the team we know we are and get 2 wins.

 

[voth26]

I don't know why we aren't going more glove height against their keeper as he is known to have a weak side there and looks quite exposed up high for a tall keeper. Does anyone know if this goes to penalties or just OT?!? If so I hope we go high on him with our shots.
In all fairness I know a lot of people are saying we should be doing better than we are BUT we are playing on a larger Ice Pad which is something we tend to struggle with quite often. Think some of the defence have had a bit of a mare if I am honest. I won't name names just yet.

Why not name them now if your going to name them later?. To be honest Euro style doesn't suit us, it doesn't allow for any physical play and that's where we struggled

 

[Bigphilbaby]

The only thing solid was the ice, our performance was far from it

 

[Earnie]

I definitely didn’t watch the same game as some on here. First period theirs. Second period ours. Third period mainly ours. Overtime ours apart from a goal. Shootout level after first round. - could have done better.

 

[Wannabe2]

The sooner this team get home the better, I think.

 

[Ejercito Rojas]

A game that was decided by poor play !

 

[Kevin roog]

Belfast and Sheffield with wins as well, what a disappointing night

Even without a physical game we'd have been ok if we could pass and shoot. All season long our passing had been terrible. It's a big reason the pp is so awful. The picked go to the skates rather than the stock and did the shots are slow.
