Bah, I read that as 11am today, Just spent 30 mins listening to terrible pop music waiting for the game to start /mourn

[Drury18]

I will have limited coverage tonight as I'm off to the gathering for Calgaryboy this evening.

Tomorrow's version will probably involve a "See when Drury18's coffee kicks in" portion of entertainment.

[Racki]

i will be watching tonight and can give some updates

Wow. You weren't kidding. That is rather terrible music.

I liked the Abbotsford station far better for accidental early tune in music. Usually played Matthew Good (love that guy) or some interesting world music or reggae. Never had to run screaming from the radio.

[Gaskal]

My god this music is so bad

[Caged Great]

I'll also be watching live, but unfortunately, the video feed is a few minutes behind radio, so depending, I may not be able to comment for not wanting the play to be spoiled.

[Drury18]

Tonight's Goalie matchup will be Joni Ortio vs Roman Will

[Caged Great]

Arnold-BVB-Poirier
Sieloff-Yonks

Starting lineup.

[Caged Great]

There's a problem with the ice, which is cause for the delay.

[Caged Great]

It's nice having two laptops, one that I can type on and the other hooked up to the tv so I can watch the game properly instead of on a small screen.

[Caged Great]

The zamboni is coming out now.

[Caged Great]

Still having issues with the ice.

[Caged Great]

Finally the game starts.

[Caged Great]

The Flames have controlled the play to start, with nothing going on

[Caged Great]

The monsters nearly scored, but missed the wide open net. Ortio out of position.

[Caged Great]

Tousignant draws a penalty Flames to the PP

[Caged Great]

Wolf has been a force on the PP. Good control and generated some chances

[Caged Great]

Sieloff with a good point shot that Will had to make a good save on.

[AC]

Pretty decent PP, lots of puck movement and offensive time.
