all checkers this period.

We're asleep for the most part. That bus trip has caught up.

[Drury18]

There is way too many Checkers and action being allowed in Ortio's crease. Way too much.

[krynski]

boarding penalty on o'brien.

[Drury18]

Heat back in the box. SOB off for Boarding.

[krynski]

whaaaaaaaaaaaat?????

[Drury18]

Charlotte awarded a penalty shot. Smith covered the puck with his hand in the crease.

[Drury18]

Terry is taking the shot. Looking for the hat trick.

Ortio makes the save.

[krynski]

gj ortio. nice save.

[krynski]

this kind of sucks. Since i tuned in, 0 abby goals and 3 charlottes.

[Drury18]

Heat seem to be coming back to life a little bit.

Corey Locke also has not returned to the ice after the hit in the 2nd period. Hanowski is in his spot.

[Drury18]

Lines being shuffled. Bancks playing on the wing.

Knight-Olson-Bancks

Knight obviously tripped and no call from the refs.

Ongoing game story there.
