What a season Crowder is having. He has already scored more points than he did all season for the Devils. He has gone from the 100th top scorer to the number one. He did look quite dangerous a few times last night.
It shows how Lord can spot talent. Shame he did not have a great season for us but he seems to have settled much better in Fife so good luck to him.
Crowder was a little rusty when he first joined us - he was never given a chance to get going, given limited minutes on a bottom line, no PP time...
That's not a knock on him nor the Devils, as we won almost everything last year, so clearly it worked.
I too thought he wasn't great with us as we didn't see any of the offensive flair that Fife are seeing now.
And for Crowder himself, i'm sure he enjoyed being a successful fish in a successful pond, rather than a big fish in a little Fife pond.
He's 33 and the EIHL is the only trophy he's ever hoisted.
Best of luck to him in Fife, he's having a stellar year which is great to see and long may it continue, it's impossible to wish a guy that helped us to silverware any ill feeling.
