Morning, game: Norfolk pregame

Another bright ‘n’ early morning game (since 2003 for crying out loud), and another after election night (Twitter did not give me sufficient notice to hear Tom Foley’s non-concession speech, which sounded fascinating in tweet form). Anyway.

Familiar faces like Sudarshan Maharaj, Dave Baseggio and Nate McIver in the building. Lots of young faces around the stands. We anticipate high volume from those young faces when the T-shirts come out. Bridgeport appears to put Justin Courtnall in for Peter Sivak. Ryan Faragher makes his AHL debut the usual way, at 11 a.m. One to scratch each way.
