Pre-season Game Thread: Falcons @ P-Bruins
Tonight features the first Springfield Falcons Pre-season game, so why not have a GT?

OK, guys. I have good and bad news.
The good news is we've got a least a little bit of hockey, with several of the Jackets' second and third tier prospects in tonight's lineup. The bad news, though, is there's no radio or online feeds for this game that I'm aware of, so you're relying on the official Falcons' twitter feed, Falcons broadcaster Mike Kelly, or Springfield die-hard Katy Loves Hockey
Unfortunately for whatever reason the P-Bruins are not publishing a roster, but the Falcons made a great game sheet for you to check out.
Here's your Falcons' roster for tonight's action:
Forwards
Dan Gendur - Nick Drazenovic - Matt Calvert
Jake Hansen - Patrick Kennedy - Michael Chaput
Tomas Kubalik - Dalton Smith - Nathan Moon
Don Maloney - Trent Vogelhuber - Wade MacLeod
Defense
Austin Madaisky - Anton Blomqvist
Goaltending
Mike Clemente
Interesting to see Chaput and Hansen on the second line, while Kubalik is on the third. I wonder if that's going to last more than a few shifts. If it does, it may be a sign that Kuby has to earn his ice time after a fairly disappointing 2012 season. Tonight will mark Chaput's first "official" pro game, so he gets the picture nod.
Don't worry about guys like Cam, Johan, Moore, and Savard - they're expected to be in play when the Falcons play at home against Worcester. If people enjoy this little hangout, we'll put up a GT for that as well.
