First of all that was a highly entertaining game. Anyone who thought the club didn't actually want to progress in the CC won't have that same opinion tonight.
Hats off to Riley Brandt, he was outstanding, as I thought was Crawford, Coughler and Bownsy. Its the first time Coventry have been beaten in 60 mins this year so no small feat. Another tough game tomorrow, a win would make it a very good weekend.

100% loves hitting stuff, even the bloody wall when no one's near it lol, thought this was our best game so far this season, lots of big hits and aggressive play.
Only time we looked lacking was the last few minutes as we kept constantly cycling the puck to avoid a goal .
Fingers crossed this is a turning point for the team

Finally tonight saw the Devils on occasions use a player to try and block Hedley, although there’s not much point in being there if the guy simply stands to the side of the goalie. Hedley could see everything we were firing at him, whilst he’s Blaze’s back up, he’s been a good goalie for a number of years - have watched him through juniors. In my opinion he fully deserved their MOM.
Didn‘t understand what Thomason was doing getting involved in the scuffle along with Cox. Not much hockey IQ in evidence there in my opinion.
Personally, I am Not a fan of Louis and Batch as a Defensive pairing, and again tonight we saw a couple of instances where we offered up the puck to go for a line change, when there was no apparent pressure on the Devils - Blaze are a good side, they don’t sit top of the league without reason - so why would one see it a worthwhile tactic to give a dangerous side possession of the puck?
A much needed win from a motivational perspective, but there is still a lot for the Devils to work on to put right

Really enjoyed tonight’s game, very entertaining thanks to Brandt and Cox two players who undoubtedly play for the shirt, and show some of the bigger guys it’s about the size of your heart, and not about the size of your frame.Shame it takes a bollocking to play the way we can, still carrying some though unfortunately, but we have what we have. Blaze back up had a blinder, and they have a pretty neat team,hopefully this is the monkey off the back, but unfortunately it may only be the monkey off the back, HATE to still sound a bit negative, but it’s only the team that can alter that opinion. You can only remark on what you see yourself and to me it ain’t mind blowing unfortunately.
