The Cats look to scrape by with a .500 record on European exhibition games; this afternoon's match against Helsinki Jokerit is the final warmup to a regular season fraught with questions beginning Friday at 12pm EST.

We're all aware of the Monday Massacre in Tampere...dwell on it if you wish, but the pace is going to pick up rather quickly now.

In any event, today's game drops the first puck at noon. Still working on locating broadcast outlets, but as I'm probably still working (writing this at 10pm Tuesday) when the game begins, the ship is yours.

Go Cats (and enjoy the game, Sleza).
