Welldone to the Devils for securing a win last night against the Vipers after a hard fought battle against Blaze on Sat. Not the prettiest hockey ever seen, but they got the result they wanted.
Vipers were clearly the more focused and efficient team in p1/p2. They were unlucky in p3 when their defence came under so much pressure from Devils forwards. G was right in his match programme notes about the attitude/performance of some players being key to the overall team performance. Thought Team B had turned up when the Devils went down so early by 2 goals. And even after Ryan's goal in P3, the Vipers came back almost immediately and scored.
There seems to be a weakness in the team with conceding goals early and in their set-up after scoring goals - Devils' defence was
shocking in p1/p2 and for patches in p3. :x Infact, think the crowd were in a state of shock sometimes because the atmo just dived!
Even in p3 I was still a bag of nerves towards the end of the game because Devils spent too much time in their defensive zone. :x
Good shows from Jay, Killer, Ryan and Smithy - and liking Jay's move to partner Smithy and Max
But skate forward, Tylor Michel for a complete all-round performance,
as usual. He is undoubtedly one of this season's highlights.
G, if you are reading this, it's a no-brainer...please sign Tylor NOW for next season.
