There are no plans to call this thing off tonight. Have to love the lead to Springfield’s lead Web-site story: “Despite the forecast of heavy snow and just about every school in Western MA being closed on Friday, the Springfield Falcons will head to Bridgeport, CT tonight…” It’s like, “Yeah, we know this isn’t the brightest idea, but…” (At least it’s just about all highway. But we saw what happened the last time these teams played in a snowstorm…)

Worcester vs. Portland is off; so is Wilkes-Barre vs. Hershey. In other news, the hyphen in “Wilkes-Barre” forces me to use “vs.” often.

There are things going down in the hockey world (and elsewhere), but we’ll save them for the ticker tonight. Here’s the BST-related part so far: Tyler Mosienko signed a PTO with Manchester.

*-Um… headers are important. Sorry.
