Ice looks awful as usual

Voth was deemed to be unlucky to get 5+Game for high sticks as all he did was raise his stick for protection when Kyle came steaming ib after Voth had delivered a legan hit on a Clan player

As Andy says Matzka is ill and Voth is confused after that call

As Bruce was given a roughing minor he was clearly the instigator

Matzka now reported as having mild concussion - a head ache - should be back next weekend
