Ice hockey is a brilliant game, I agree. The popularity and media coverage it gets up here surprised me, but it just goes to show how dreadful the sports coverage is in south Wales.

Devils have 5 wins on the trot as well don't they?

Yeah, I'm a big fan of NHL. Boston Bruins have been constantly abused on NHL on the Playstation for years and I'm a committed member of the Cybear Club! :D

My girlfriend and I have been meaning to go to the Devils in ages so might well head down.

I probably won't make it, going from Preston straight back up to Sheffield.
Are the Devils away to the Steelers again this season?
That was a good laugh before Christmas, sat with the home fans cheering on a Devils win.
Stewards were worse there than the CCS mind, one fan caught a puck and gave it to his kid and the stewards took it off him. The dad complained though and they gave it back so we all clapped him!

I went to my first Devils game on Saturday, and really enjoyed it!

Well done Claire, stick with it!

How's the table looking these days, I know the Steelers were struggling and Coventry, Nottingham and Belfast were up towards the top?

I gatecrashed a Sheffield Steelers versus Nottingham Panthers game when I was younger and visiting Sheffield at the Hallam Arena. Quite a nice arena, would love for the Devils to get a new one like that.

I remember when Sheffield Steelers and Nottingham Panthers were Cardiff Devils main rivals!

Hallam FM Arena is pretty much Sheffield's CIA. It's not all that tbh, O2 Academy is better.

Steelers v Panthers is massive up here, they often give it a full preview show the night before on radio sheffield. Sports coverage up here is so much better than the egg-centric BBC Wales.
