The Inferno
Cardiff Devils 4 - 0 Fife Flyers
I've put the game thread up early as I will not be able to start MNL until about 5:30 due to commitments elsewhere. Shouldn't be a problem as I shall be back in Cardiff by 5:15 at the latest as I intend to miss the last race at Ffos Las.

Back home, texters all organised and ready to go
Andrew R says Devils to win 5-2
Sine in Scotland only wants the Devils to beat the Flyers and possibly BizNasty to continue his run of scoring the first goal
Andrew R also gives a big shout for BizNasty from all at North Bay,
Steven B calls it 6-2 Devils following MNL whilst on a Spa weekend
Did he say Spa or SPAR
gaz334 calls it 4-2 Devils after the Devils go behind again
Reports of it being very busy at BBT
Warmup underway
Stehen B says 5-1 Devils
Hazel thinks Devils will win by the odd goal in nine
Warmup done & dusted
Lets hope we have a big crowd in the BBT tonight as Paul Bissonnette (BizNasty or simply Biz) makes his home debut
No Phil Hill tonight as hes been with the successful GB team in the Olympic qualifiers
Face off delayed due to walkup queues
Don't know how long a delay.
10 minute delay according to Sharlene
Danette Macrae says Devils by 2 goals
No info on ref yet
If I had known that there was going to be a delayed face off I wouldn't have rushed back from the races
We think Darnell is the ref
Michael Hicks is at Coventry
Lights are dimmed
With the Giants in the BBT next Sunday lets have some bumper crowds
Flyers take to the ice
PA system at BBT tonight is terrible, so texters will have to watch the calls closely
