Panthers Vs Devils - League - 30th Oct 22 - 16:00 FO

Spot on. The Devils management seem to have learned nothing from last year and then incredibly for me, gambled with a rookie coaching set up. All we heard was how the players loved playing for DuPont, well they’re not exactly showing it so far this season, unless it’s the hockey equivalent of a holiday camp. I don’t want a coach who’s friendly with the players. I want someone who can read them the riot act and cut those who are underperforming. Why should players who don’t perform expect to have a job for the season? We’ve become too soft as an organisation to the point where one or two are taking the piss.
I have confidence in our owners, I have confidence in Todd, I do not have confidence in this team.
We gave kozun the chance he has earned I have to say and now where do we go?
We have no character, no stand outs and no tactics. I have no answers.
We need each and every player to stand up, give 100% and at the end of it say truly they gave it their all.

I think Todd was put in a really difficult position last season with us winning the playoffs. He kind of had to appoint DuPont for this season.
If we hadn’t won the playoffs, I wonder if DuPont would be here as coach.
It was a strange one having gone from the worlds longest recruitment campaign ever known to man (for Skalde) to probably the shortest in terms of appointing DuPont.
I hope he comes good and turns it around, But I do fear with the continual line tinkering and lack of identity and consistency his appointment might come back to bite us.

Agreed. I’ve always suspected we re-signed too many of last seasons roster. We probably had the best goalie in the league and we still finished 14 points behind the winners. 13/14 re-signings + 3 players that had played here in the past just didn’t seem right to me. I’m all for bringing a core group back but they have to be good enough. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again I don’t think Dupont had confidence in this roster from day one this season.
TK took the easy way out by appointing DuPont saving yet another long search for a new coach , just because he won the playoffs he shouldn’t have become head coach he’s a rookie and there are plenty of experience coaches out there maybe with the recruiting and coach this season we might win nothing except 3rd or 4 th place in the league at best
Panthers had 7 put past them last night by the mighty Steelers, showing how crap Panthers are, their rink is like a Mausoleum.This team is certainly heading towards our worse line up for years, lousy thing to say but 10 of this lot could be gone by the morning , losing and playing well is certainly acceptable but losing and playing like cardboard cut outs is unforgivable. But nothing will change we are stuck with this shower unfortunately.
They blamed Skalde, really, the person who should be taking responsibility is that person who picked up last years squad and retained the majority & added equally crap additions. That can’t be Skalde, he’s no longer here, so whos the fall guy this yr, Dupont, absolutely not as he is in his first roll, he’d struggle with a quality squad, if Skalde with his experience couldn’t get these guys to play, Dupont then is this yrs excuse. Maybe time start calling Todd Teflon Todd, seems nothing sticks on him.
