Match Night Live

Welcome to MNL as those nasty Blaze come to Cardiff Bay - - except we now have BizNasty

OJ here as your host although on nights like this you feel as if you should be at the BBT

A big crowd is expected tonight for this eagerly awaited return grudge match

Score predictions as usual, before the 6pm face off to matchnightlive@the-inferno.co.uk

Claire goes for a 3-2 Devils win with BizNasty putting Olson in his place

Reports of it being very busy at BBT already - almost an hour before face off

Dean Smith has been spotted at the rink so hopefully he is the man in charge tonight

With a big crowd expected fans (including texters) have been turning up early

Teams on ice for warmup

Tyson Marsh warming up

By my reckoning this is the end of Max suspension, he'll be back for Steelers next weekend

I wonder if Max is selling "Shirt of his back" tickets tonight - the prize is BizNasty's shirt from tonight

Predictions are slow tonight - everyone gone to the game?

Looks as if Olson, Guidice & Egener having words with Deeds during warmup

Seperately I should add not ganging up on him

Marsh confirmed as icing tonight
