"Tweets" - Erie Otters vs Niagara Ice Dogs - Pre-Game/First Period.

Amy Moritz - Welcome to First Niagara Center for some junior hockey action ... oh and Connor McDavid, too.
Amy Moritz - There actually are other 2015 draft eligible players to watch in tonight's game.
For Erie - Dylan Strome and T.J.Fergus. For Niagara - Vince Dunn, Graham Knott and Hayden McCool.
Amy Moritz - Scratches for Erie are Cory Genoves, Joel Wigle, Darren Raddysh, Travis Wood and Travis Dermott.
Amy Moritz - Scratches for Niagara are MacKezie Savard, Luke Mercer, Brendan Perlini, Christopher Parquette and Ryan Mantha.

@ErieOtters - #Otters Starters - DeBrincat, McDavid, Betz, Murphy, MacDermid. Williams in goal.
@ErieOtters - @OHLIceDogs Starters - Jenkins, DiFruscia, Verhaeghe, Haydon, Brosnan. Moran in goal.

@ErieOtters - We’re on! - @OHLIceDogs - We're underway in Buffalo!
@OHLIceDogs - 3:57 - McDavid drives hard to the net but Moran stays strong and keeps it out.
@ErieOtters - A little bit of a disagreement in front of Moran, but it looks like it’s sorted out without any extracurriculars.
@ErieOtters - We’ve got a review after a flurry in front of the Niagara net.
Amy Moritz - We have a very long delay right now reviewing the last play. 7:14
@OHLIceDogs - It's ruled a goal. Otters take a 1-0 lead.
@ErieOtters - GOOOOAL! That flurry paid off and @Brinksy97 opens it up in Buffalo! It’s 1-0 #Otters!
@ErieOtters - Assists for @cmcdavid97 and @betz_12 gets one in his first game back!

@OHLIceDogs - 6:29 - Caron goes off for hooking and the Dogs will be shorthanded.
@ErieOtters - POWER PLAY! Caron goes for 2 for hooking at 6:29.
@OHLIceDogs - 6:47 - Moran with a big save on the penalty kill. Quick reflexes.
@OHLIceDogs - 7:02 - DeBrincat takes a late whack at Moran and we'll play 4-on-4.
@ErieOtters - Oh boo. Just over :30 seconds into the PP and @Brinksy97 goes for slashing.
Amy Moritz - McDavid just left the ice and walked back to the locker room.
@OHLIceDogs - 8:16 - Good chance for Jenkins off a Corneil pass. Williams has to make a good save.
@ErieOtters - We’re back to even strength! Still 1-0 Erie.
Amy Moritz - And McDavid has returned to the Erie bench.

@OHLIceDogs - 10:39 - IceDogs tie it up! Puck makes its way out front, hits Maletta's skate and goes in. 1-1 tie.
@ErieOtters - And the bad guys tie it up with 9:21 to go. A redirection puts @OHLIceDogs on the board.

@OHLIceDogs - 11:23 - DeBrincat finishes off a nice passing play to answer for the Otters. They lead 2-1.
@ErieOtters - GOOOOOAL! Just like that it’s 2-1 #Otters! @Brinksy97 gets another!
@ErieOtters - @betz_12 and @cmcdavid97 get their second assists on @Brinksy97’s second goal.

In section 105, center ice seats...saw a couple ducks scouts

Gotta say, it's a little ridiculous how McDavid-centric this whole event has shaped up to be. Of course he's the big star here, but it's Erie vs. Niagara, not mcdavid vs. Niagara. Skate with mcdavid for $397, pack 97 event for $97...for every goal Connor Mcdavid scores, this happens...although I did cave and buy a tshirt :laugh:

It's turning a largely neutral location into an otters home game (although that really was the purpose) despite Niagara being geographically closer

I'd imagine they're just publicizing some of the upcoming team promotions at FNC, as that was highlighted on the Erie website too:

"Tweets" - Erie Otters vs Niagara IceDogs - First Period.

Amy Moritz - McDavid back on the ice starts a beautiful play highlight by some absolutely beautiful stick work from Nick Betz who fed rookie Alex Debrincat for his second goal of the game. 7:30.

@OHLIceDogs - 13:55 - IceDogs answer right back! Fitzmorris with a great play to feed Payne all alone out front. We're tied up again.
@ErieOtters - Aaaaaaaaaaand we’re tied again. Payne gets it behind Williams with 6:05 to go. 2-2.
Amy Moritz - Not to be outdone, that was a sweet pass from Mitchell Fitzmorris to Cody Payne as Niagara ties the game.

@OHLIceDogs - 14:33 - Mikulovich goes off for hooking. IceDogs will be shorthanded for the second time.
@OHLIceDogs - 15:09 - The goal fest continues. The Otters strike on the power play to take a 3-2 lead.
@ErieOtters - GOOOOOAL! @MacDerm23 get’s one on the PP and it’s 3-2 #Otters!

@OHLIceDogs - 15:51 - IceDogs will get a chance on the power play. Fox off for tripping.
@OHLIceDogs - 16:07 - Moran absolutely robs McDavid on a shorthanded breakaway.
Amy Moritz - That was what we've been waiting to see. Shorthanded, McDavid takes the puck, explodes through the neutral zone then weaved
the puck around the defender to go in one-on-one with the goalie. He didn't score. But it didn't matter. It was electric.

@OHLIceDogs - 18:14 - Caron nails McDavid with a solid hit.
@ErieOtters - GOOOOOOAL!!!! @MacDerm23 gets his second!! It’s 4-2!
@ErieOtters - Assists to @cmcdavid97 and @Brinksy97 at 18:54.
@OHLIceDogs - 18:54 - McDavid feeds MacDermid out front for his second of the game. 4-2 Otters.

@ErieOtters - That’s it for the 1st! - @OHLIceDogs - That'll do it for the first. IceDogs trail 4-2.

I know you guys are mesmerized by McDavid but could someone keep an eye out for Strome and tell me how he plays?

Thanks!

How is it ridiculous? Its a Erie Otters home game - they gave up a home game to play here. Its an Erie Otters presentation. It will be all Erie Otters - promotions - jerseys in the Sabres store. (Erie wouldn't even allow Niagara to bring some of their stuff into the Sabres store.) Niagara is just the away team tonight.

I said that I think it's a little ridiculous how Mcdavid-centric everything is, I'm fine with it being an otters presentation. I forgot that it was a deal primarily struck with the otters

It's almost as if he's being promoted to the city of buffalo and being implicitly linked with the sabres, when mcdavid in a sabres uni is no guarantee. Or maybe this is how everything is run in Erie. I wouldn't know, I don't live in erie

@ErieOtters - 10:33 to go in the 2nd. #Otters still lead 5-2 and shots 24-12.
