Devils v Steelers - League - 20th Mar 24 - FO 1930
- Thread starter Wannabe2
- Start date
I have said for a VERY long time that this no nonsense hockey is what pulls the crowds in and raises the roof in atmosphere which in turn raises all the players on our team. It also leads to confidence in the team, gives your more skilled players more time/room to do things on the ice as the opposing team are more concerned about getting hit or being held to account.
By the sounds of it tonight showed again that this style of hockey works and the crowd love it.
Awesome result tonight lads and by the sounds of it the crowd in attendance played a huge part.
Out of interest I wonder if Finny could look at the stats over the last few years, in particular home games, and see if the checks/fights/physicality per games has any impact on the result. Would make interesting viewing going forward to building next years squad now that other leagues are again starting to become more physical.

Just a complete performance. Defensively superb. They didn’t get beat Bowns. Batch was a standout, blocked everything, took responsibility when needed and joined the rush at every opportunity. Arniel looked like having a difficult evening at first but he kept trying, hit everything and was relentless. Just a menace, as was Barrow.
Brandt… what a guy!

Sheffield totally outplayed in every dept, is that 9....1 we beat them last 2 home games ? Gripe now , why are coaches allowed ipads on the bench, the first goal disallowed was influenced by fox and gave the actual penalty info to the officials, tk me it looked liked greenfield dropped his stick knowing he was beaten . Then fox calls the 2nd disallowed goal, those 2 stoppages just slowed down the momentum we had to go and score more straight away , fox once again outfoxed in our barn, we'll played devils and coaches , best this season by far . I think Sheffield will want to avoid ys in the playoffs .
Fantastic game tonight. Effort and fight all through the side. Bowns solid as ever. Only mistakes across the 60 were when we gave up some chances short handed to the Orange by passing straight at them. Don and Batch were impressive.
Barrow and Alderson seem to playing for a contract recently - have been reinvigorated last few games and Alderson in particular was very effective tonight. Cox sometimes feels like he suffers when he has too much time to overthink and needs to be more instinctive.
Stripes: useless as always and added to the pantomime of the game. Lots of dirty play after the whistle let go and they only seemed willing to actually do anything as long as they could stick one player from each side in the box, unless there was an opportunity to stick Crawford or Cox away...
Extra thanks for the stripes being very clear in declaring that a few shots hadn't gone in....when the puck flew miles wide
Crowd were great tonight. Same can't be said for the Shhhhhhhteelers on their big day out.
Wasn't overly impressed with the DJ playing "Everybody was Kung-fu fighting" when Steelers in town....
