Match Night Live

Good evening!

Second home game of the season and we'll be hoping to make up for last nights loss to the Panthers!

Again, as we're relying on one texter in IAW who has a few bars of reception at some points, it might take a little while to get details on things, but we'll get there eventually!

Just a couple of predictions in so far, and both are for 3-1 victories... Hopefully!

There's a delay to faceoff tonight, but not entirely sure what the reason is at the moment...

Another prediction in, this time Devils to win 6-1... That'd be good :)

Any further predictions? Or just want to shout at my ramblings, then matchnightlive@gmail.com is the way to do it :E

Face off delayed due to the late arrival of Fife Flyers to Ice Arena Wales...

Not sure when the new faceoff might be yet

Face off about 6:15 *we hope*

Another prediction for a Devils victory... 4-2 this time :)

Flyers missing Schaber and Paquet tonight...

And one more prediction for a Devils 3-1 Flyers victory :D

Intro time! Almost go time :D

Flyers on the ice, almost time for the Devils to emerge!

Devils on the ice :D

Anthem time in IAW

Lord is the healthy scratch again tonight

Puck dropped and we're off!

And my bad, it's Kyle Follmer and Phillipe Paquet missing for the Flyers, Schaber is in the lineup!

1st min played, turnover from the Devils and a big save from Bowns!

Save for Shane Owen @ 1:52

3mins played and it's Flyers looking the better team at the moment, far more chances!

Fournier close, then a big save from Bowns @ 4:28

Flyers looking really good going forwards!

5mins played, end to end but Flyers edging it I think

Devils offside at 6:11

End to end now, lots of turnovers from the Devils so far

Puck out of play @ 7:03 following a shot from Sebastien Thinel

Not sure what it is, but the Devils look really out of sorts at the moment :S

8mins played and it's just... not happening, the fans are quiet and the team are gifting turnover after turnover

Big save from Owen at about 9mins, play continues

Flyers icing @ 9:12

Flyers penalty at 9:42, Sisca 2mins for hooking!
