James calling it a 3 -2 win for the Devils
Waiting to hear from Goughy who hates the Blaze but lets say he calls it a Devils win
Not aware of any scratches for the Blaze tonight
Jon calling it 5-2 Devils
All positive here tonight apart from me who thinks it may be another 2-4 Blaze win
Goughy has arrived slightly merry and as expected is calling a Devils win and for the Devils to smash the Blaze about a bit
