Not the greatest regular season from Thelin last year, but it looks like he found his goalscoring touch for the playoffs. It's certainly more than a random guess as to who we would target. IIRC one of the reasons why we thought he might not sign last season was because we were already full of...

Really pleased with this signing. We've struggled in recent years to get a second netminder who can be trusted to start a long stretch of games. Stoever proved by the end of the season he can do that. It certainly sounds from the PR like Bowns is back too which will give us a very solid...

Didn’t Robson sign in Nottingham?

Arguably the most iconic jersey of all time? Arguably the jersey of the most iconic Devils goal of all time? Ooft. Someone's going to get an absolute legendary jersey there.

Very good first season. Second season, less goals scored and appeared to be to blame for a lot more goals conceded. I'd have been disappointed if he had left after that first season but wasn't disappointed when he left the following summer.

Will be interesting to see where and who he plays with. He's clearly an offensive minded player who doesn't shine when he is on the 4th line when their role is to grind and shut down the opposition. I do wonder if this signals the end for Perlini as he too doesn't fit the 4th line but I can't...

Some fascinating posts in recent days on how we want to see the make up of the team. And it looks like we’re all of a similar view. My thoughts so far: Netminders: Midway through the season I had some slight concerns with Stoever but thought he’d done enough to earn a second season as backup...

God this signing makes me feel old! I don’t think there’s any doubt that the key point behind this signing is that he’s a player who has gone through the NA system but classes as a brit. The fact that he’s the son of a Devils legend adds an extra angle to the story and was probably a major...

Statement signing for me. Standout player for Storm last season and you’d bet every team would have been interested in him this summer. Fantastic that we’ve got him signed up so quickly. With regards to who he replaces, I’m guessing we re looking at a D roster of 7 again so effectively...

Belfast previously hosted the semi-final and final so played the whole tournament at home. And still bottled it.

Surely it’s a case of the CHL choosing their fixture blocks as they do every season and expecting clubs to stick to them? Belfast had already booked in concerts so wanted to pick and choose their home dates. Belfast can’t really expect the CHL to change their rules to accommodate them else the...

Correct.

Disgraceful from Belfast. Everyone knows when the CHL have their fixture blocks and Belfast went ahead and booked in concerts during those dates regardless. Let’s not forget this is the second time Belfast have put money before CHL as they previously considered declining the CHL. It was only...

That’s literally comparing the two different situations.

So when you said "Maybe one for the club to consider" - who exactly were you talking about? It certainly looks like you were comparing the response by Liverpool to the response by the Devils?

It was only a couple of years ago when the increase in Sky Sports money meant that clubs could have given all their season ticket holders a free season ticket - and they'd still be better off financially. Comparing us to Premier League football clubs is ridiculous.

But the Devils management tried on multiple occasions I believe to get an ice pad installed in the new arena but were rebuffed at every attempt. And from the artistic impressions of the arena it's not going to be suitable for ice hockey games either. Ultimately if the people in charge of the...

I did, and then my wife decided to try to un-series-link it and ended up deleting it. And it's still not on youtube.

I heard a rumour at the Storm game in Cardiff towards the end of the season they were very close to agreeing a deal to return to the old MEN Arena. Looks like Planet Ice found out and pushed them before they could jump.

I've absolutely loved the Podcast's this year. Probably more than the Devils Inside videos from a couple of seasons ago. It's been great to get that post home game update (mostly on a Saturday night before the Sunday game) and then a bigger review midweek. I think I might go back and listen to...
