We can’t match Cardiff’s intensity in terms of pressure and also physicality. They are the better side in both zones.

Devils have goal scorers. We have one but he’s sat in the stands somewhere

It’s like Sunday but they’re more up for it.

We’ve got no answer to their D, slow as it may be. Need to work it out, cos we’re not getting any decent chances.

There are a lot of big name, big money, forwards not working hard enough.

But overall we've been terrible. So slack in own d zone, giving puck away, turnovers and soft as hell.

You know what, I hope I’m wrong but we could easily end up winning nothing this season.

Two attributes that we are frequently missing. Intensity and physicality.
When we play with intensity for long periods, not just 5-10 minutes per game, we are hard ro live with.
I think recent results are more reflective of the way we have been playing.
We dont play physical enough at all but been like that for a good while.
