Devils Vs Flames - League - 18th Feb 23 - 19:00 FO

[Eynonz]

1-3 lovely foot pass from Brittan on the assist.

We are an absolute shambles at the back. Why, oh why do we insist on playing at if it's non contact. Then someone dies throw a check and they take a stupid penalty.

Btw is Reid taking a regular shift? It's sometimes hard to tell on TV, but other than one shot he's contributed virtually nothing from what I've seen.

 

[Hedd Wyn John]

Looks like we're struggling to find shooting lanes out there. We need a huge P3.

 

[Kevin roog]

On a positive note, Belfast are 7 nil up

 

[paulsasha]

That’s my prediction out of the window , the flames deserve to be 3-1 up after 2 periods hope the devils can recover in the 3rd

 

[jenks33]

It feels like that 3rd goal could be the killer. Funny bounce but still a soft goal to concede. I’m not sure Kozun will be happy with himself for the second goal. Don’t get me wrong it was a great shot by Lalonde but it was pretty far out and there was no traffic

Clearly the devils wore glasgow out the other night. ;-)

 

[Kevin roog]

Is it me or is kozun letting in quite a few goals compared to the shots he’s facing lately

 

[kristian]

We need a rocket. We are getting bullied

I said to my daughter that if we shot that , it’s no way it would be a goal

 

[ASHIPP]

Why is it that we just can't seem to score first in so many games? More often than not, the Devils are battling to get back into it from early in the game. It's almost like our team need a kick up the ...reality check to start playing.

Oh to see a few more games where we dominate and don't make it difficult for ourselves. Everything is a slog. A comfortable win now and again would be a welcome change from grinding out results!

Afraid this looks like it has loss written all over it again tonight.

When a team does the little things right and work as a team, the puck has a way of finding the net. The devils on the other hand look like a team that lacks an identity.

Not sure he will be happy with a couple of tonight’s goals. Down the other end McAdam is playing well and we have to work bloody hard for our chances. I wouldn’t say Guildford have had to work particularly hard for their goals, particularly the last two.

To be fair it hasn’t been a disaster and I don’t think it’s been a poor performance. You can just see us having the same problems that we had pre-Fournier. Lacking a plan B and teams seeing us as a bit of a soft touch at times. And defence still looks shaky but nothing new there

The devils are giving Guildford that too much space in the defensive zone. We need to be so much tighter with our coverage. The flames have time to pick a spot too often.

It does feel like we are constantly chasing games. I'm not sure what goes on in that dressing room pre-game, but they have a habit of coming out flat.

Not a disaster, no. But it's the lack off attention to detail that's so frustrating. Loose coverage, not winning board battles, stick position, not clearing the zone first time, giving up possession cheaply. These things eventually mount up to one conclusion.

 

[Kevin roog]

Let’s tell it like it is, we ain’t got a proper coach

This team is getting no better until both Brodies are gone.

 

[Kevin roog]

Belfast will complete a 8 point week tomorrow night, don’t think we got that in us , too tired or too emotional

 

[Swarley]

4th place team at best, nothing is gonna change that this season
