Devils v Panthers - Sat 7pm - Chat/Updates...
- Thread starter Chris
- Start date
Saw Enckleman at the end of the game in the hospitaliy chatting to Shannon, but didn't see Dave Jones.
However, at half time in the City's game on Saturday Ali announced that if people wanted to continue their day of sport after the game, they should go to the Cardiff Bay Arena to watch the Cardiff Devils take on the top of the table Nottingham Panthers.
Nice bit of advertising, and I know that I've seen Ali and Wayne down at some Devils games over the past couple of seasons.

i for one was very pleased after this game, it was nice to walk away feeling so proud of the lads. lyle was gud, miller excellent and tylor damn well brilliant and id have personally given him mom award. it was gud to see the commitment levels rising and this was commented on by a panthers fan standing next to me. this same panthers fan also said they'v been taking these poor penalties all season so far and the dont react well to a bit of handbags or a hard check....said fan was very much right!! jay did a fantastic job of drawing penalties and it was gud to see our lads in control of the situation and not doing anything silly back romfo much better also so i'll lay off him this week! :lol:

What an awesome game! Text book win by the Devils and some brilliantly creative moves.I'm still thinking ' This can't be true -shouldn't the score by the other way around?'! 200% effort by all the guys there and G was so right, they seemed to have conquered some major hurdles in their play.
1. Playing for the full 60 mins - AS A TEAM
2. Adapability - G changed the lines around - and it paid off
3. Crucially - not capitulating or getting demotivated when Panthers equalised at 1-1
4. Holding on to that vital 1 goal lead (at 2-1) at start of p2 until more goals scored
5. Penalty kill AWESOME - the guys took pims in the bin but ensured they weren't weakened by it.
6. Quickly matching and exceeding the pace of the Panthers.
7. Taking PIMs on the chin and not losing focus/getting demoralised.
The Devils showed the full extent of the potential that's been there all along - regulation, pp and short-handed goals, great passing, team effort, fantastic defending and shot saving, minimal dump and chase.
Panthers looked totally demoralised and their frustration showed because they were taking silly penalties, constantly wingeing and Bruce Richardson was a complete *****!
HAPPY DAYS - LET'S PRAY IT CONTINUES!

oh dear, i can see the negativity is spreading! gud/good, either way i think i would be more inclined to comment on the positive content as i have no doubts every person on here understood what i ment. :roll:
its funny as someone previously stated on this thread, if we lose a game, 15 pages of rants and moaning, we play awsome and after 5 people are to busy checking peoples spelling to worry :lol:

It's not about being a grammar nazi or picking up on every spelling mistake Jimmy, its just a desire to keep the forums readable and not descend into an unreadable mess Some of the old timers can't keep up with text talk and internet meme reference like us youngsters #cough#
Nothing personal.
As for more posts when we lose than when we win I guess thats human nature. When everything is good there are only so many plaudits you can toss before everyone agrees. When things go wrong, everyone has an opinion of why.
As for the game, I was thoroughly disheartened and grumpy coming out of the Belfast game last week. The Nottingham game was the cure I needed. To not only beat the league leaders but do it comprehensively and make them look silly was awesome.

i agree, when that 1st panther goal went in the belfast memory kicked in and i thought 'oh no!' but what i got was nothing short of breathtaking for 40minutes. obviously when our stars were having a sit down we were never going to keep the level of skill up in the 3rd, but i was also chuffed hayes/davies got a good skate in as well. not often over the last few years we could give our younger guys a run out against top of the league because we were beating them so bad! was interested to see crisp didnt get a few minutes tho :?: id have been tempeted to give him a taste of the atmosphere which was very good may i add
