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
