8:14 - Travis Fuller and Vladimir Nikiforov are BOTH in the box. I don't know why...trying to follow this game is like watching it with the mute button on

7:57 - It's great trying to watch a game with people right in front of the glass...

7:11 - Penalty?? I think so...Jordan Hart goes off for hooking

7:08 - Andrew MacDonald is playing "captain" tonight.

7:07 - The game is already underway...kinda threw me for a loop because I can't hear any game action because I'm practically in a separate room

7:01 - Referring back to my original post from earlier about the lines, because quite frankly, I can't see crap from here. The lines would be...(and a lot of the numbers are recycled from last nights game...insert nameplate "here"...)

Joensuu-Sixsmith-Nikiforov
Walsh-Fuller-May
Konkle-Hennigar-Lesperance

MacDonald-Hart
Sertich-Gleed
Leslie-Moyer

Mannino
Lawson

7:00 - Our referee is Frederick L'Ecuyer...linesmen are David Spannaus and Luke Galvin

6:52 - Got me some dinner and we're about to start in about 10 minutes...I'm going to have a tough time keeping track of the action from where I am...


6:40 - Finally back on the laptop now. I need to make a note on Devils backup-goalie Jeff Frazee's equipment. Leg pads are red, white, and blue. Blocker is red, black and white. And his glove is yellow and red. Crazy...

6:36 - Still no wireless...I think its safe to say Clemmensen is HUGE.

6:29 - Both teams are coming out ffor warm ups. Peter Mannino will start for the Tigers. Scott Clemmensen is starting for the Devils. Its worth noting that the Lowell Devils are wearing NJ Devils jerseys.

6:23 - And the wireless here is acting funky, so ill still be blackerrying it until we figure out the problem. Nevertheless this will be interesting...

6:07 - I'm here in Shelton now and what a nice place it is. We're going to be having an interesting vantage point for tonights game...once I get situated ill have a picture from where I am...
