Joey Haddad hrt in a check

Nasty stick stick caught Joey who goes to dressingroom

Bombis given a hi stick penalty @ 19:52

Andrew Lord & David Clements

@ 19:58

Its Noble not Clements who is battered by Andrew Lord

Noble cut and looks shaken

Easy win for Lord

Its 5 on 3 for DEVILS !!!!!

Trying to unravel the events at end of 1st perod

Andrew Lord gets 5 + GAME for excessive roughness

Fair enough as it was a battering

They are still trying to work it out

End of 1st period Blaze 1 DEVILS 1

Kevin Noble got 5 minutes for fighting + instigator minor hence 5 on 3 for Devils at start of 2nd period

Noble's instigator is of course 2 + 10

Some more precitions Aaron 3-1, Baz 7-0, Leanne 5-2 all for DEvils

Drew predicted a 4-2 win for Devils

Glynne enjoyed Lordo giving Noble his due

Jon from Cardiff Bay says feisty 1st period, DEVILS now have 5 on 3, He thought Lords GAME was a bit harsh

Teams back on ice

Apparentlty Lord had additional minor so its 5 on 4

Joey Haddad on bench

Puck dropped

After wanting someone to batter Noble for a lomgtime JOHNWILDTHING missed the fight - thats the powewr of BOW for you

Lets have a PPG U DEVILS

Lords additional penalty was 2 minutes for roughing

An odd call since the 5 for fighting is the correct call as it was either roughing or fightine unless of course that nasty Andreew Lord had roughed up someone else
