Continental Cup

What a season DuPont had. Qualifying for the Conti cup is brilliant

Qualifying for European competitions by finishing 4th? What is this, Sweden? ;-)

It seems almost like Guildford are the elite league's equivalent to Bracknell in the ISL. They perform at a fast higher level than anyone would expect, mainly due to the deep pockets of their owner. Their rink is limited, and their fans base relatively small. You have to imagine that they're vulnerable as a club.

BTW this isn't a dig at them or Bracknell. The Bees were a club that I had huge respect for. When I went there to write about a game they were wonderful, as was the case whenever I wanted to interview one of their players. I think it's an absolute disgrace that they no longer have a rink.

Agree 100% i loved going there superb fans and management.I believe the owner had enough of the treatment he got from the league.
We got a couple of cracking players from there.

 

[terry hunt]

and you were right!

Devils once again showing that I know nothing!

Got to think of our image and long term objectives of out owners.

We’d have to thank Dupont for getting us in the Conti Cup then. Not a bad season by him when you think about it!!

His CV is looking better and better

Yeah, but it was Belfast that really asset stripped them, London and us.

Forget the Theory of Probability, according to the Multiverse Hypothesis you are right every time, somewhere!
Actually, when you think about it the ‘Parallel Universe' concept can go a long way to explain some of the content of this Forum!

Hope for me then….

Glad we’ve said yes to this. Great fun and some silverware that Giants can’t get their greasy mitts on!

Great to see even if entry was by a very small back door.
Now all we need to do is sack off the Challenge Cup nonsense to save the players from expending lots of energy and maybe injuries on a ridiculous competition.
Good for revenue, crap format.

Talking to a friend and their first comment was 'At least Belfast can't spend us out of contention for this one'

Be interesting to see if Bluefox end up in the same group as the Devils, could make for some entertaining hockey of they cross paths

Yeah, I really wouldn't want to get into a netminding battle with Mac carruth.

Could definitely get spicy if they're in the same group, especially with Mac recently being contacted by Russell lol

Is that fact or wishful thinking?

Its a fact, Mac spoke about it on Wallys podcast recently that Russell had been in contact with him

Cool. I'd love to have him in a devils shirt again. With carruth in goal and a properly organised defence we'd be very difficult to score against.

Totally agree with you on that.

Wasn’t it that they almost got into it in the car park after a game in Germany? (As also mentioned on the David Imonti episode) rather than being contacted recently?

Not sure what you're on about but from Wallys recent podcast episode with Mosey and Mac he confirmed that Russell had reached out to Mac.

I would give anything to have Mac come back between the pipes for the Devils but I can't see that happening.

 

[lloyd_jeff]

Now that’s a returning Devil to get excited about.

 

[Devil94]

Don't think we should consider something said on a podcast between 3 mates as absolute fact. Especially someone with such a questionable personality as Mac Carruth.
