looking around the league 3 - 3 in Edinburgh against the Giants

1 all in the dullest rivalry in UK hockey in Sheffield

and new boy Cullen has fired the clan a goal up against the stingrays

oh and its 1 -1 for Dundee V Fife

Both teams with two power plays that period and both failing to get much going on the Powerplay

Still no update on shots on goal but it seemed pretty level

Will update when we know

Grab a drink and talk amongst yourselves.. we'll be back with the second soon

almost the end of the second.

Blaze DJ playing some classics. Rhianna up next. Maybe the Timberlake

End of the second Blaze leading by a single goal

Wannabe is wanting to see some hits. Reporting a borefest

Anthony L worried that there are no d'men and lots of forwards on the ice and still we are a goal down

We always suck in the second Anthony. We call it the second period suck in our section of the rink. I expect big things in the third :D

No shots on goal from the sponsor dome. Think they ran out of fingers after 6

On the plus side, Empire Strikes back is on ITV

Around the league other than the Giants getting a kicking from the Caps we have Hull beating the Clan 2-1 at the end of the second. Also end of second Shuff beating the Panties 4-2 and Dundee leading Fife 2-1 in the second

first period shots are in. 14 for the Devils, 15 for the Blaze. They are trying to say shots for the second period are 1-0 Blaze but I think they are getting it confused with the goals

Think the Blaze DJ just have "Now That's What I Call Music 2008" on tape and nothing else
