1-0 Devils at end of first.
Looked at times as though Devils were playing with 10 men the way they harried us when we had the puck.

That's good performances against the big three although the scores not always going out way. That's all the fans ask.
In my opinion, a terrible coaching decision pulling Owen. Possession during the PP wasn't a strong point tonight and an empty netter was always going to happen. Should have just pushed on for an equaliser until the end.

Lot of effort for nothing. Pulling Owen when we were already a man up would have been great if we had scored but was it really necessary at the time, I don't know.
Cardiff are a good team, relentless in their efforts particularly when they don't have the puck, hate them.

Decent game and a good effort from Flyers. Devils came out strong in the first but Flyers crept back into the period and worked hard without creating too much. Soft penalty led to a pp goal for Cardiff who deserved their lead. Good second from Flyers with a few good chances before Basara tied the game with a nice finish. Flyers deserved to go in all square after 40 minutes. A great goal from Basaraba put Flyers ahead 24 seconds into the third, but a bad bounce allowed Ulmer to equalise then Cardiff pressed, not allowing the puck to get clear and got the game winner. An empty netter made the score look worse than Flyers deserved. Best game I have seen from Basara with Aarssen looking as if he hadn’t missed a single game. No complaints about losing to this Devils team. They are top of the league for a reason and Flyers competed throughout. With a bit more luck we might well have got a point out of this game.

Similar to Andi's comments, bit of a shaky start but rallied well with a short bench, great goal from Basaraba who was more involved in the game than usual to take the lead. Fairly even stuff in the 3rd period but Devils squared after Ulmer undressed Barry then beat Owen with a good finish, Fournier gets the go-ahead eight minutes later leaving six in the game but unfortunately an empty net goal whilst Flyers were on a 6/4 put the game out of sight, no doubt in my mind the home side deserved a point but no disgrace to lose to the league leaders whilst 2 imports short. Question though, Why when the bench is short are we playing a forward in defence with Cochrane not getting a shift nor Chad Smith come to that matter, does TD and JH not think they play against big lads in the SNL or at World Championship level, no point in doing an interview after a game and mentioning a short bench yet not play guys riding the pine.

Totally agree. TD can't say he has a short bench when he doesn't use all the bench. He will be stubborn to the end about his misuse of Brits. It will never change.

I think that we all know now that it's a busted flush at Fife FLyers as far as playing and bringing on local talent, there is practically no scenario which will result in our coaches giving the youngsters of the squad regular shifts on the ice. It's not going to change anytime soon either.
For me TD has had long enough at the reigns of this club his track record in the EIHL is poor, his style of hockey boring and I personally think that a change in coach is long overdue to freshen things up a bit.

Asking this as I don't know the answer but if we were to replace TD or he was to retire, who would replace him?
Hutchy? If so would the style of play be very different?
Omar Pacha? I've said before that he always has his team up for games against us and appears to be more active in the community but does he have a better record than TD?
A coach from outwith the UK? Would we spend money on a coach rather than a player?
Are there any players able to step up? James Isaacs?
Sorry if I have missed anyone from within the set up or elsewhere.
Is there anyone waiting in the wings or is TD the best option?

TD is the cheap easy option therefore suits the owners and will therefore be here for a while yet unfortunately. TD suits the club and the club suits TD.
