Good Morning Hockey Fans
Join me (Russky) from 6:30pm for the build up, predictions, latest scores from the other hockey matches also happening tonight.
Its the first home game I have hosted this season. So please bear mind that the updates may not be a frequent as per usual, due to the previously well documented mobile reception problems. Our texter(s) will be primed and ready.
In the meantime before we go Live please have a good day and join me later for unrivalled text commentary. Its almost as good as being there in person.
