Match Night Live

OJ here in the MNL cuby hole hoping we can bring you coverage of the Devils game in Edinburgh.

After seeking texters for days I have now been told that Tom is on his way to the Murrayfield Ice Rink and will text us when he arrives.

We live in hope and will not know how much coverage of the game we can bring you until face off time at 6pm

Russky if confident that the Devils can make it a 4 point weekend

Score predictions plus any other publishable comments to matchnightlive@gmail

At least the Devils have arrived in Edinburgh

One bit of good news Mike Hicks and Tom Darnell are not in charge - they are in Sheffield

Scratches for the Devils are Jesse Mychan & Doug Clarkson

Steve (Borders Devil) is at game and will help us out as long as his mobile battery lasts

Scratches for the Devils are Jesse Mychan & Doug Clarkson

all we now need is for Tom to report in

warm up underway

I assume Carl Hudson is icing after his match penalty from last night was cancelled

Dean Smith is at Coventry so we are likely to have Cowan or Wilson (possibly Thompson) as ref

My sole texter has not found any other Devils fans so far,(other than his family of course)
