Players to be gassed?
- Thread starter KaneDevils
- Start date
I didn't read it so much as players will be gassed, more as a warning shot/wake up call that we won't, or maybe that should be can't, tolerate many/any more games like the Belfast one.
Adams has never really been one to let players go during the season, Andersson and Hinks might be the two most recent I can think of (although it's highly likely i'm wrong), Prpich doesn't count I don't think as he didn't ice before being dropped, although there were other issues related to that one.
A win on Tuesday could help to build some sort of excitement up for next weekend...

I think you may be right Chris, but, it's surely a possibility. All players need to give 110% suggests to me that they have highlighted players who aren't giving that. We probably can guess who they are. If they don't start giving what is expected, then they will go, won't they?
I do however believe in G to get his message across and get the best out of those underperforming. I believe he's done it before and he will/can do it again.

I'm not sure it really is a possibility though, as Gazza says where will the money come from? Unlike some of the arena teams i doubt we have the money available to pay for ITC cards and flights or whatnot.
I think that's supposed to be definitely, but is there really anything to base that on? I don't have the attendances to hand or even available to me, Finny or someone might know what happened when Rob Davison turned up, but I asked a question on one of the other threads about getting a Davison style player in, or a Weller. I'd expect a player similar to Weller to help the team turn around, but not a Davison style player.
Hopefully Adams will be able to make the best of the players we have...

Lol to late to edit!
crowds rose with both players by a few hundred. Id gas now, genuinely. iv seen enough of one player in particular to know he'll never be a devil. i want winners and hard working, gritty lads. Not ones here for a holiday and avoid body contact. get the rest revved up. falkner the stand out at minute and i can see how frustrated he's getting

Good question, one I don't know the answer to. :cry:
However, to come out and say what they have would suggest to me that it could happen. To say players have to give 110%, as I've said before, suggest in their opinion not all players are. So, if that doesn't change, then what??
With the fall in attendances maybe PR will offer G more funds to bring in someone like Weller. Not only could that improve results/performances, but it would also improve attendances.
I'm not saying he should, but he could. He may feel he has to?
Are there players he could call up from the NIHL set up? Scarborough maybe? Are there others? I'm not sure what the plan is, but I think there is one!

Finnerty has shown no mercy in releasing Corey Pecker who was believed to be underperforming. Steelers have taken swift action...they are showing a serious commitment to challenging for success this year.
Could be a different set of circumstances at the Devils who are not an arena team. Its very clear that some players are living on their reputations and not performing to expectations right now. If PR was able to sanction it, I have no doubt G would release these players.......and Devils play short until replacements found. Devils are no strangers to being shortbenched - its always brought out the best in them
There is time to put this right but there will come a time when its too late. Bottom of our conference, bottom of our CC group and Blaze on the rise. This is the team the Devils may be fighting with for a playoff place. Finish 5th in the conference and playoffs are just dreams.
