Welcome to the Gameday Open Thread at Blazer’s Edge! This is a place to hang out and enjoy tonight’s festivities with your fellow fans. Treat it as if you’re watching a game at the local watering hole, but hopefully without the language. Like any passionate fan base watching a game, expect some disagreements, and a fair amount of changing emotions. But with some fun and some mutual respect, we'll get through it together.
Before we get to the game details, let's talk challenges! As you may know, we're getting down to crunch time to purchase seats for the 2013 Blazer's Edge Kids Night. Earlier today, in Dave's game preview, various fans made challenges for tonight's game. Here they are:
