Game Day No. 8

I am in the Dodge Arena press box, and the teams have begun their warmups for tonight's game. The Bucks will be seeing Christian Boucher in net for the Bees tonight, as Wylie Rogers is getting a well-deserved night off following his 53-save performance yesterday.

The 5-2-0 Bucks are looking to hand the 4-0-0 Bees their first loss of the season after falling in this building last weekend.

You can read Bryan Benway's preview here, see the pre-game notes here and follow it live here...or on this blog or Brian Sandalow's.

Other games tonight pit the Oklahoma City Blazers against the Corpus Christi IceRays, the Colorado Eagles against the Mississippi RiverKings, the Arizona Sundogs against the Odessa Jackalopes, the Wichita Thunder against the Tulsa Oilers and the New Mexico Scorpions against the Rocky Mountain Rage.

There are a bunch of games in the NHL, but this is the one to which I will pay the most attention, as certain people could tell you.

I have been to one game here before, but I expect things will be a bit different this time in a lot of ways. It's crazy how the size of the building affects a small crowd's ability to make noise.
