Devils Vs Flames - CC - 13th Nov 21
- Thread starter James
- Start date
didnt single anyone out, but picture supplied by Swarley clearly shows lots not wearing masks but a few chin wearers as well, block 13 not to clever either looking at picture, with the cases soaring in europe we need to keep to the guidelines otherwise this season will end like the last one or Drakeford will close us down..
Overall enjoyed the game. Felt Guildford fans probably feel a bit hard done by as their team probably had the better chances and with Watson (who seems a really solid player) failing to convert in OT when it seemed easier to score.
My take always were:
Off ice - lots of new faces in our block and generally fewer jerseys on display than normal crowd, got the impression quite a few casuals and this may have contributed to fans seeming a bit flat first period (even before the goals). Atmosphere by end was rocking even when Guildford camped in our end and we were clinging on. I missed the rink invader but I guess always going to be a possibility when beer flowing and grater number of casuals in the crowd.
Thought the remembrance section and Ritchie’s 900 were really well done. Classy production values & hit the right notes.
On Ice - McNally is a difference maker, both with his energy, fan response and creating more havoc in the slot than we’ve been producing recently.
Kozun, really impressed again by him. We’ve got two great netties, seems a cool head and he was making some CJ Motte esq grabs last night. Was a little unlucky not to get MOTM as he kept us in it all game.
Brodie Reid has ice in his veins.
A number of people have been critical of DuPont on this thread but definitely upgrade on the performances from Valdix. Hopefully can push on now he’s back from injury.
Batch’s physical play in 3rd period was excellent. He’s built for physical game and it was nice to see him use it.
About to buy the Sheffield stream but hesitating at principle of paying Steelers my £15!

Greenbank Partnership Ltd held the drinks license via Helium Miracle 113 which is the company that operates the IAW. September 21 Cardiff Council Announced it was purchasing the IAW. Todd is temporary management of the IAW until the Council decides on its future and appoint a management team. The bar profits won’t be much, there may possibly be an agreement with the club because without the Devils games, they’d be no bar sales........having said that the IAW have to maximise income too, so there maybe no such agreement. I would’ve thought if the club wanted to be part of the bar they’d rent it from Greenbank, take over the license and run it in-house.
