- Start date
Well done Devils!! Massive ask playing 3 games on the bounce with all that travel, and, playing arguably the best team in the league in the first game. Love Crawford's grit this weekend, Cox and Sanford always a threat and great to see both Crandall and Reid scoring important goals at the end there this evening - hopefully that will now kickstart their campaigns! Top Job!
That was not a good win. I was getting ready to write the post mortem.
The first period Flyers totally outplayed us.
The second period we were tired from killing off all Crawfords penalties. (6 mins)
In the third period, we had to pull the goalie (always a risk) with 3 minutes to go to equalise. We scored the equaliser and another to take the lead. With a minute to go Flyers Johannson skated the length of the ice passed 4 Devils and scored. Not one player tried to take his body.
Fife have one good line and 2 decent-ish powerplay lines. Player for player we have a much better team and you could see that in the individual skills. But as a team we were woeful.
Although the last goal was soft, Kozun kept us in this game.
I know I may get flamed for being negative after a win, but all the same problems are still there.
Some positives though. 2 for Crandall. I wish Crandall would shoot more instead of trying to set up Reid all the time. When he does he scores some great goals.
While Reid showed he's still a sniper with the winning goal, his passing leaves a lot to be desired and he seems to be the problem on that line.
Glad to get the win and I think we have a lot of talent but as a team we still have big issues that will show against better opposition.
