Thanks Russky. I'm pleased to see the Haddad Ulmer Bentivoglio line back together as I thought they showed some real promise at the start of the season. For whatever reason (and it's a decision that still baffles me), Lord swapped Haddad for Doucet which just did not work with a knock on effect on the effectiveness of Ulmer and Bentivoglio (and Doucet too for that matter). Maybe Lord will give them some time again now and stop tinkering where it's not needed.
There is a thread running about the best Devils lines of all time...... the Mo-Asselin-Martin line is fast becoming a contender. Tonight it was a complete joy watching them. At one point, Mo fed Asselin behind our net, he beat a couple of players, spun round and fed Martin with a no-look pass, throwing the puck between his legs. The chemistry, skill and understanding was of a level I have seldom seen. Just brilliant.
Back on topic, Very happy to get the 2 points lastnight against a tough Dundee side. Didn't see the game or catch MNL so have no incline as to how we played but to be honest I'm not that bothered. It was the 2 points that counted and after the recent doom and gloom that came out of the Coventry game, a 3 point weekend isn't bad at all right?
Great result even if we didn't play to good and the lines are still being messed around!!
To me people always blame the d when things go wrong. The turnovers and cost of goals to many 2 on 1s etc. They imo are doing ok and are only conceding 2 a game which is about average.
It's our forwards who are not doing there job. If a d man jumps the play and helps the attack then surely it's up to the centre to cover him and I just don't see that happening.
Also the d men are looking for a pass out from the zone but the forward isn't making himself available then that's the d men's fault too? Surely not.
Ulmer has gone really quiet and doucet can't buy a goal. Last thing is can lord stop changing the lines?? They need to stay the same for god sake.

Anyone would think we bombed. We didn't play our best but still got 3 out of 4 points on offer. It's getting those junk wins & overtime points that might just win us the league when the lads hit their stride. We won't win every game but if we can pick up a point if/when we lose it' might make all the difference
Actually at times I thought we played excellent hockey, the first line was outstanding and it was good to see a degree of 'nastiness' being shown (especially by Batch and Louis). There are still things to work on, we need to get some of our snipers firing and I am still not 100% convinced that the line chemistry on the 2nd/3rd line is quite right but.... I have enjoyed this season so far and have seen nothing to dissuade me from my view that we will be up there challenging at the end of the season.
Interesting that a loss yields a seven page thread whilst a win results in minimal comment on the game and a contest over who knows the most about morgues....

Didn't we have several pages on the Bordy/Klotz rumble in the jungle, although more like a fart in jumanji, the several pages of Coventry hype became another Mega Monday.
I guess when we win the half full brigade are less likely to analyse it.
I'm sorry, l didn't me to gate crash your private joke.
