The line of Adams, Matzka and Sam Smith showing signs of Gelling up in Edinburgh this evening.

Almost had a Texter down! Poor KettDevil got hit by a VDV clearance. Out of every player on our team I think the big 44 is the last player i would want hitting a puck at me. 10 minutes left int he second.

Frank called for slashing. Poor call according to our texter.

Poor Call number 2. Phil Hill called for tripping!

End of Second Devils 3- Caps 2. Frank and hills penalty were very very soft. Max is apparantly in need of anger management on the bench because of them. 7 SOG on each netminder that period.

I havent been over to the cage forum yet. I can only assume the place with be slightly more quiet on Wednesday. How long will those fans have to suffer such league dissapointment?

Lyle makes a save and we are back to 4 skaters!

Penalties killed \o/

Frank with a big hit 1 minute in!

Pen killed. Powerplay poor again :(

Frank now in the bin for delay of game at 10:46! Big kill needed!

Craze stops Ben on a shorthanded breakaway.

Stevie saves our bacon at 12:29! Come on Devils 7 minutes to hang on. Penalty killed :D

Not that you can usually say many nice things about Murryfield ice rink but their choice of music just got a thumbs up! 6 minutes left!

Devils go on the powerplay. Hartmann called for interference.

Powerplay looking better. Camped in Edinburgh zone.
