Trying to find out if the Clan have made it to Cardiff Bay

Kevan Batch goes for a 3-2 win for Devils

The font of all knowledge Ger-Devils confirms that the opposition has made it to the BBT

Hazek M in snowy Southend calls it 4-2 to the Red Army

Hazel do you like my new spelling of your name

Quiet on the email front tonight

Warmup has been underway for sometime

Having my tea, you have to have priorities in life

Gareth G goes for 3-2 Devils

Yes Kevan snowy Southend in Gavin County

Cannot bring you team news yet. My usual pre-game texter not on duty tonight. Pther texters making their way to BBT

Ger-Devils making his way into BBT, I wonder if his chest infection is better

Warmup done & dusted Zamboni chasing its tail

Very subdued atmosphere at BBT

Montage of Voth videos being shown to "Nobody does it better"

The Irish have gone down in my estimation after todays rugby. I will probably be flamed again for the use of the word "pathetic"

The Irish pride themselves of maintaining a silence when kicks are taken by either teams. Today that booed and hissed when Leigh Halfpenny stepped up for that last kick that is pathetic.

Furthermore did you hear the booing of the victorius Welsh team after the final whistle or were they booing their own teram for losing

Intro starts and the Clan cvome onto the ice

Harding & Piggot icing for Devils

Stephen B calls it 4-3 Devils
