Slavija v Salzburg, David v Goliath...

...and it appears David has forgotten his slingshot. Salzburg are 4-0 up already, and their forum are into full "well, this one is over" mode...they've already got the back up in. Something of a running diary will now follow in preparation for later...but then, seven NHLers against a team where the oldest player is 24 is always going to turn out badly...

16:12 BST: Salzburg have five in the box. Hmm. I reckon penalties could be a problem...although there is a classic moment on the Salzburg forum as a poster modifies the sign seen outside German football matches, posting...

"Penalty bench sold out. Standing room, and season ticket holders only."....

16:38 BST: Make that Salzburg seven, Slavija 0 at the end of the second. Hmm. This could be a bit of a nothing third period. We are told there are about ten Austrians and maybe a hundred Blaze fans. Could make tomorrow's game interesting..

16:56: Third period begins. But I'm not fancying following this much-so I'll leave it until the last minute and go and sort myself some chores...

17:24: The game finishes 8-0. Ouch. Now for the important game of the evening...check back in an hour or so...
