Pre match entry video is on

All slow motion says Andy

Very poor crowd

Now 2-2 at Sheffield, Panthers still winning 2-1

Final minute

End of 1st peeriod Stars 0 DEVILS 3

Andy says Devils are justifiably 3 to the good, Stars struggleto break out and fail to construct anything of value. Dvils are stonger in all departments without having to try, forcing turnover after turnover

He added - There will only be one winner tonight and sadly unlike U12s the score won't be get capped at 10

I am told that SoG was Stars 7 DEVILS 7

We were told DEVILS were not taking enouigh shots but where did the Stars shots come from ANDY says it most certainly doesnt reflect the game

Now Panthers 3 Giants 2, Steelers 2 MKL 3

Ice ready waiting for the teams

Teams reurn to ice

A rare stanza of Stars pressure as they are more compettiive this period

Andrew Hotham penalty @ 24:56 2 minutes for slashing

KILL DEVILS KILL

Devils Full Strength

Lets have a goal U DEVILS

Devils penalty Andrew Hotham now gets 2 minutes for tripping @ 27:18

KILL DEVILS KILL

Tom Darnell obviously wants to be the Star of the show and what way to acheive that is to have the Star player in the sinbin all night

Devils Full Strength

What odds does Paddy Power give that Andrew Hotham will be despatched to the bin again this period

Devils penalty Joey Haddad 2 minutes for interference @ 31:37

KILL DEVILS KILL

Devils Full Strength

At least the PK outfit are having a good workout

After 2 periods its Steelers 2 MKL 3

Devils offside @ 54:12

Uneventful 2nd period winding down

This game needs a spark or the final whistle so that we can all go home

Gametime 38:22

I wander what Andy can say about that period

Good PK by Devils has my vote

Lets have another goal U DEVILS

Devils penalty Patrick Asselin 2 minutes for tripping @ 38:32

KILL DEVILS KILL

That penalty is incorrect it was Stars #23 Andersson not our very own Asselin

End of 2nd period Stars 0 DEVILS 3

DEVILS will start 3rd period with a 32 sec PP

Andy says as a contest its done, Devils mostly going through the motions, at 3 goal adrift the score flatters the Stars as they offer nothing

SoG for 2nd period Stars 8 DEVILS 11 making it 15-18 after 2 periods

Teams back

3rd period starts

Stars Full Strength

Stars icing @ 40:51

Lets get another GOAL (or two) U DEVILS and then we can start the engines

Andrew Hotham return visit to the naughty step is long overdue

Andy says Dundee are woeful

He says that there is so little happenning the most of the crowd are asleep

Andy says the Devils are so untested Bownsy could play centre on the 3rd line - pads and all

Gametime 48:29

Its a long way to go for a glorified traing session so lets hope there are no injries or niggles

I still want a goal U DEVILS

We have a Devils penalty instead Mark Louis 2 minutes for cross-checking @ 48:20

KILL DEVILS KILL

Ben Bowns is awake after all as he has made another wonder save De Concalys with a huge slap shot save, rebound literally open net Bowns flipped himself padsstackedhigh and saved it

Devils Full Strength

Andrew Lord having plenty of icetime
