Weekend Preview - Clan 3/11/12

2nd Nov 2012 | Posted by Geraint Walters

The Devils are off to Scotland for a double header this weekend. Playing against Braehead Saturday then Edinburgh Sunday. With the recent injuries and bans dished out to the team, it could be a tough weekend and things have been made a little easier as it seems newly signed Paul Bissonnette will be arriving in time for the games.

Bissonnette is a very impressive signing for the Devils and comes in at the right time to protect the team

From an interview back in 2010, this is the type of character "Biz Nasty" is- The article is unfortunatley no longer available.

Sun: Most expensive thing you've ever bought?

Bissonnette: I spent 5,000 one night at a bar in Vegas. As far as clothing is concerned, a $1,500 suit, which isn't a lot. As far as blowing money, that five grand in Vegas. That was in my system and out the next day. See you later.

Sun: Who's a guy you'd let date your sister?

Bissonnette: I'm going to say a guy like Kyle Turris. He's just so nice and would never do anything to hurt anyone. And Shane Doan. He's married, but if he wasn't. That guy is like the model citizen.

Sun: Do you write your blog on The Hockey News?

Bissonnette: Well, I don't write it. I tell the guy what to write. I can't write. You've seen my Twitter account. I can't even spell.

With Tyson Marsh, Max Birbraer and Devin Didiomete sidle lined, the Devils have called up NIHL1 Devils Chris Hart on D and possibly one or two more this weekend. Not confirmed but a possibility.

The Clan will be looking to bounce back this weekend after recent performances and coach Jordan Krestanovich will be asking a lot of his players to get them that 4 point weekend. After our match preview back in September saying the Clan will run away with the Northern Conference, they haven't had it all their own way so far this season and it's expected to continue throughout.

With their road trip to Nottingham on Friday, it's going to be a tough weekend for the Clan. Missing one or two players from the line-up could cost them as suggests their D is struggling. Maunu and Walker are missing for the Clan and they're hoping Zemlak can step up to the plate and show his worth after his two recent performances conceding 10 goals.

We will be running the “ridiculously childish and disgustingly biased” Match Night Live service for this game, expect name calling and one eyed bias in epic proportions, at the usual location of http://www.the-inferno.co.uk/mnl if you'd like to help out by texting updates (we’d be happy to hear from you) or chip in with some comments on the night please contact us at matchnightlive@gmail.com.
