Devils Vs Blaze - CC - 1st Oct 22
- Thread starter James
- Start date
Pumped for this despite CC campaign so far. If we win will be great, if we lose will be able to use it in about a decade in the inferno, to school new Devils fans complaining about losing 3 on the bounce about how “I remember us losing 6 straight in the cup in the 22/23 season back when we played in IAW. Riley Brandt was a player for us in those days before he became the coach. We had an absolutely massive gantry back then, stretched for miles. There was a proper atmosphere back then an’ all. If you think this is bad you don’t know you’re born mate! Typical inferno hot takes LOL!”
Sorry Pembo, going to have to pull you up on this one! We need to be extremely careful when quantifying any estimated sizing for the Gantry.
As you’ll no doubt be aware, no actual size has ever been quantified or confirmed. Teams of experts have undertaken numerous studies and tried to calculate the size of the overall area, however, it’s been impossible to date due to the sheer capacity (and nobody has a big enough calculator!).
There was a rumour that the team who looked at it last month (Official US Pentagon Earth Measurement Dept) detected signs of Inravatec Solar Vibration variances.
Basically, the Gantry is drawing energy from the sun and it’s estimated that as a result it’s organically growing in size by approximately 10% a week! It’s a living thing!!!!!
As you can imagine, mentioning in 10 years time that the Gantry reached for miles will be totally unbelievable considering it will likely be the size of Western Europe by that point!

“You whippersnappers getting angry because of an overtime loss to current playoff champions Norwich Snallygasters ?!? You think that’s bad?!? I was there for the start of the 22/23 season when we lost 6 straight in the cup. This was just before we realised the gantry had become sentient and had just blown up Nord Stream pipeline and co-ordinated a run on the pound in collaboration with other (smaller) gantries and several hedge funds….”

Very much a lose/lose for the Devils tonight. No doubt Todd would have put a rocket up them and read them the riot act - if they win, it’ll be because of that or because Blaze are resting some. If they lose, it’s to be expected because we’re awful.
I agree, the next four games will be a better reflection of where we really are. I don’t doubt our ability to be able to ‘get up’ for the odd game here and there (although it’s lacked at times this season), when your ‘superstars’ aren’t firing and you’re relying or goals and inspiration from the lower lines it just isn’t sustainable and could be shown up in this next four game run. Interesting times ahead but you can guarantee Todd hasn’t been a passive observer in this. He will be having his say.

You can have a full roster but if they don't figuratively show up then may as well be skating with only a handful. Need to see a cohesive, consistent performance tonight. And if it doesn't go our way at some point then a spark is needed - whether a physical response or skill play.
Blips happen. But they need to show they actually want to get out of it.
