I absolutely agree, and I don't think anyone would disagree. There has to be the correct balance to fully cover all the attributes required (as we did in our recent successful years, and the Giants/Steelers have of late). I just don't think this would have been the right choice - always happy...

Exactly this - I thought he was decent enough when he played here and in the QF 2nd leg, and I also quite liked his no nonsense approach too. But... if we are serious about fighting for titles this coming year and competing with the Steelers (and a Giants team who will be on an absolute mission...

Yet again, of all the players to focus on during this early off-season, from this years team, it’s our MVP, the EIHL all star player as voted by coaches and best defence-man of the year (for second year running). Makes zero sense to me the negative focus he gets from a few - in the slightest. He...

I’m thinking very similar to this, but changing Crawford to a yes and Busch to a maybe.

Yep, all Belfast unfortunately. Massive anti-climax so far to our season. Big 20 remaining.

Right you are. Yes, it’ll be very challenging to keep hold of him after 2 years here and those accolades to his name consistently, but I hope he stays as this team I feel will be fighting for silverware right up until the end next year. We will not find another defenceman putting up anywhere...

Marcus Crawford - voted EIHL defenceman of the year. As voted by Coaches and GM’s throughout the league.

Really don’t get some of the negativity in this area - at all!! Crawford plays so many minutes each game, maximum effort every game we see him play and hardly ever injured (if ever), so very reliable. As people have already alluded to, he Topped the ‘whole league’ in assists this year (as a...

Couldn’t agree more - all of this. The criticism he gets absolutely baffles me also.

Fan Favourite: Brandt / Chad Most Valuable Player: Sanford Forward Of The Year: Arniel Defence-man Of The Year: Crawford Most Improved Player: Crandall True Cardiff Devil - a player who gives it their all night after night: Barrow

I think Alvaro will possibly tangle with one of our lot tonight - Cox, Sanford or Brandt even (though he wasn't interested when Brandt had words on Sunday). There were lots of words between Alvaro and a few of ours near the bench when we them played them in Cardiff not so long back even...

Play in red on St. Davids Day? Would be nice. Devils win - potentially a feisty one mind after the game on Sunday at theirs.

We need to put to bed this recent record in Nottingham! The guys in the locker room should not need any motivational speeches from PR for this one. We'll win! In regulation!!

Absolutely - completely agreed with the playoff comment and us then emphasising the fact that we can beat them and they cannot just breeze past everyone. As good as they are they have had it far too easy for far too long now.

Good question - their looking pretty formidable and impressive and have done for quite some time without much push back from other teams since the turn of the year. Perhaps a antagonise them a bit, wind them up and take them off their game. If that’s even possible. Not sure - though I’m...

When we did not capitalise on that 4 minute penalty after the high stick on Ben Davies (a goal then would have taken it to 5-2), I had a strong feeling that would turn the game on it’s head. Excellent winning streak mind - we now have to hold onto that 2nd place and gain traction to get...

Yeah, really hope he gets one more crack of it here before the season is out and proves his worth - sadly I’m not sure he will get that opportunity. We’ll see, but a tough one for Russell with everyone playing so well at the moment and the team clicking. I think Chad is great mind as most of the...

Great win tonight and fantastic, well-deserved successful weekend! Side note - Marcus Crawford is the now second highest point scorer in the league at this stage of the season - as a defenceman that is insane! Big shouts out too to Crandall who I thought was great yet again, I thought...

Hard lines for the Devils this evening - could have gone either way and a hugely entertaining evening (and weekend). Atmosphere was fantastic! You could see that the players gave it their absolute all for the badge this weekend and you cannot ask for any more than that - they can hold their...

And to add to this the Flames have had nowhere near the success of the Cardiff Devils. Not even close. The Cardiff Devils had massive success pre Covid, we have just not quite reached those heights since we came back from it. Financials aside, I have every confidence the owners and management...
