Devils Vs Stars - League - 12th Dec 21
- Thread starter James
- Start date
Think Wednesday's game is a tipping point in so many ways. The wrong result would have repercussions for revenue. And if they win, then will everything be OK or just carry on as usual?
How I miss Myers and Mosey, I look on regrettably how well they are doing at their new clubs. And try to fathom out how on earth they were let go (when ostensibly they were both returning this season).

But we're not going to change 5 or 6, so what else is there? Just give up on the season, which is what we seem to have done? We should have changed 1 or 2 at the very least, weeks ago. That might have shaken the rest of the team up too and got them out of their comfort zone. I get your point though, and I’m not sure Skalde would get anything out of any replacements anyway.
Dupont hasn't produced but I blame the coach for this, skaldes head hasn't been in the game at all and it's shown clear as day, he just isn't right for the team.
I'll happily be proven wrong but I doubt I will because we don't fire people we ride the season out and then grease people with big flashy adverts of change is coming.

At least the red illuminated lighting on the outside of the rink looked nice !
Big challenge for the management now -
Not been in a pickle like this before.
Do they adhere to wanting to be the most cosy all inclusive club on the planet where no player is ever threatened, held to account and released and thus potentially frustrate a large element of the fan base continuing with that approach. OR …. Does the penny finally drop with them in that fans are not happy with the effort this group are putting in and change a few faces!
Management, over to you ……

Just watched Skalde interview, we don’t play hard enough, no shit Sherlock, we don’t have any passion, well guess what buddy, your the coach, try taking some of the blame it’s the same old gags every interview. Hate to say this but bugger it, the team ain’t up to it, and neither is the coach. This has to be the worse team since the - - - - - | - - - - era.
Theres a difference between wanting a player sacked after 3 or 4 games, and after 3 or 4 months. Knee-jerk reactions rarely come off. Every now and then (as it appears in this case) it transpires that initial reaction may be correct, but overall I'd rather the organisation made reasoned, rational and pragmatic decisions rather than dropping a player every time we start a run of bad form.
Looking at the league right now (& yes I know it's very early to make any calls) Steelers are clearly a step above the rest of the league and Giants are looking strong as well if maybe a step down from Sheffield. What can I say, both Belfast & Steelers have recruited well. If I were a betting man I'd say any silverware is likely to go to those 2 teams. Its hockey though, it is early days but we're clearly not on the same level as those two teams and I don't see any other team who is at this stage. We're struggling against teams that Sheffield are putting to bed with ease.
A few good moments tonight, watching Register enter their zone seemed to provide a bit of momentum and when Waller got motoring.
But the board work is shocking, we've been lucky over the last few seasons as nearly every play a devils player won the puck but this season we just seem to bobble it or give it away.
