In the warm-up game here at the warm Hartford Civic XL Center, a team called the Bears beat up on a team called the Rogues (who, inappropriately for this bad joke, were the ones in maroonish-and-white), 9-4. The Sound Tigers will need a much different result tonight from another group of rogues against another group of Bears.
Tonight’s cast of characters, in order of appearance:

Hartford has one to scratch and mixed-and-matched its D pairs after the first time through, with Baranka filling in for at least Sanguinetti and Pock.
