I think he is talking about forecheck in relative terms. Success of their forecheck against red devils vs the success of the forecheck against stampede.
Saying 10 or 11 goals against means the forecheck is weak is a dicey statement. Forecheck is one aspect of the game. Having an amazing forecheck doesn’t mean you won’t still give up 60 shots. You still might get bottled up in your own zone for most of the game which was definately the case against red devils.
Best forwards statement is also probably considering that devils have played the same “weak” teams as many times as the stampede and even without having played swarm 4 times, devils players still are point leaders. Eaden getting 25 points in 4 games is pretty impressive one must admit!
Until all the games are played, everyones opinion should be taken with a grain of salt. Everyone is entitled to their opinions though.

This will suit the Stampede more than the DevilsThe Devils have a long grind ahead due to their schedule of games and having had their byes already. Injuries and sickness could play havoc later.
The Stampede will enjoy the break this weekend to let injuries/illnesses recover before travelling to Chch for the following round.
The Swarm have already played the Stampede and now have the motivation to beat the Devils in at 50% of their games to be in with a chance to make the finals.
I am also curious why some people make sweeping generalisations, for example, the reffing was mediocre but they fail to say why and for what reason they thought that.

Also, if someone showed me a blue cow, I don’t think I would want to eat it. That’s just unhealthy! When you cook your favorite cut of beef, the most popular way to serve is medium rare. A perfectly cooked steak at medium rare should be what color in the middle? That’s right folks, RED….maybe pink for some but we won’t get into that.

Remember, it’s just personal opinion ….I think people aren’t sure who’s going to win out of Red Devils and Stampede but are picking their ‘horse’ to be Stampede – I guess that means they WANT Stampede to win.
Yeehaaa!

[/quote:2l20e2it]Nope. If you decide one over the other, I would like to know why. Undecided doesn’t explain a clear decision!
That says what I think. The something else indicates peoples’ rationale could be something else other than what I listed hence the maybe something else
I’m saying people aren’t that undecided perhaps! Or just clicking anything! or maybe something else….
I don’t think it works that way. We beat the admirals by a greater margin than the stampede. Does that mean we will beat stampede? Whatever team shows up on the day dictates the result.

[/quote:1zejjmfy]that does not sound right
and if he has some more photo’s from the devils/admirals game. Only 13 made it online.
” title=”Sad” />I haven’t seen either team play this year so no predictions. Plus a goalie could have a great night and shut down the better team
