Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Cardiff Devils seem to rely on "get out of jail" play to win their games. It worked once last weekend, but failed at the second attempt, writes Steve Pinder. The victims were Fife Flyers, who took a 2-1 lead in the first period. Cardiff netted four in the second, but conceded three and the period ended 5-5.
Chris Palmer restored Fife's lead only for Doug McEwen to equalise. Devils finally upped the tempo and a slapshot by Jason Stone, with two minutes left, was claimed by Randy Smith whose stick touched it.
Cardiff were found out the next day, at Basingstoke Bison. The first period ended 2-1 to Bison but a straight hat-trick from Kevin Conway in the second saw Bison win 6-3.
It is autumn - so Tony Hand must be leading scorer. The former Murrayfield player has moved to Sheffield Steelers and their 8-2 dismissal of Slough, with Hand scoring once, took his total to 100 points.
