Well now that the dust has settled, it's time to conduct a post-mortem on this seasons underachieving and wholly disappointing Devils roster. I am going to ruffle a few feathers here.
Defences win Championships and post Marsh injury, we never had one. Coughing the puck up in our zone, giving Bownsy no chance was a story well told time and time again. That cost us the league!!!!! I don't want frustrated defenseman wanting to be wingers. We can get forwards for that. Hotham you may leave now, and don't close the door as their is more coming.
Leigh Salters...what did you do all season? You turned up in that first friendly against Brest and went AWOL for the rest of the season. How an eath can it reported you had an injury for most of the season and still play. don't close the door!
Hudson, typifies our too much of a run and gun defence. But that's what we brought him in for, nevertheless he quit controlling the puck, especially on PP. Sorry but follow Salters.
Lord, a man who bleeds Cardiff Devils and I respect, however he has been grossly tactical nieve and it has not helped being on the ice trying to manage his own game. Think been to pally with the players. Needs to put a suit on full time next year...or unfortunately he has no role to play in the club going froward...I mean going forward!
As much as I detest the Squeelers, they know how to close out a business end of a season. We gave them a sniff and they were in!! We can't do that, we don't have the players with a winning attitude to do that. We now need to find them!!!
And for all the sycophantic, rose colour spectacle wearers who will have you know that we finished 2nd in the league, competed in the final of the CC and reached the playoffs indicates a successful season. That is dangerous B.S. that breeds a losing, second best is acceptable mentality. I have been a DEVIL for 29 years and that is not our way! Those retired numbers hanging up would angered with that attitude.
As I said at the start, I couldn't care less if I ruffle a few feathers on here. Some feathers need to be ruffled!!
