No chance of staying up for this. Well... you can always try, right?

Two game suspension for Lake Erie's Mitch Heard as a result of Thursday's boarding against Scandella.

+1. I slept for maybe one or two hours last night. In fact, I was tired by the 3rd in the SWE-CAN game.

Forgot to tweet earlier, the Aeros have summoned Josh Caron to Lake Erie with Scandella out.

The SWE-CAN game didn't do any good. I was surprisingly tired too. Maybe the North Korea jokes were the aftereffect.

So, will Hackett rebound, or play like crap again?

[Fel 96]

Game on.

[HoustonAerosFan]

Ah, the Cleveland Lumberjacks....memories of the IHL - - and when the AHL Lumberjacks folded, all their players went to the Aeros for our first AHL season.

[Fel 96]

Fontaine (sick) and Scandella (injured) out.

Fredheim in.

Yes, and relieved to hear Scandy apparently has a sprained nuck. No "flu-like symptoms"

Eight guys now hurt/sick. Welcome to Team ECHL (just like last season).

Monsters PP - red lights follow

[Fel 96]

[HoustonAerosFan]

Crap - was that a prediction

[HoustonAerosFan]

Aeros = visions of sugarplumbs dancing in their heads?

[Fel 96]

Can't say I'm surprised by this kind of start.

[JamesRanger]

I'll be very surprised if we ever see Fredheim ever play for the Wild again.
