Both former Bolts with the BJ's (left wing Fredrik Modin and center Alex Svitov) won't be on ice tonight...  Svitov's been in Russia the last two seasons while Modin has knee problems and is out indefinitely.

Mike McKenna will be between the pipes for the Bolts.  Paul Szczechura is out with a "lower body injury", sustained in practice.

This is an open comment thread about the game and also an opportunity to send out quick messages about subjects related to hockey, the team, sports in general...
