I thought I would start this on the indoor thread since it perhaps wouldn't work on the Fire thread. Anyway, it is 1-0 Storm as Novi scored off a free kick in the first quarter. Blast have so many injuries that coach Tim Wittman has signed himself to a 15-day contract. It is his first action in ten years!
how can a team, that has what 5 games under its belt already, be so riddled with injuries that they are signing emergency players to 15 day contracts??? sounds to me they have so few on the roster/payroll to begin with... BUT... im sure tim witman can hold his own

HT: Baltimore Blast 1-2 Chicago Storm: An okay first half for the Storm as they go into the locker room with the lead, but will be a man down to start the second half.

END OF 3RD QUARTER: Baltimore Blast 1-3 Chicago Storm Things were pretty dull in this quarter until Stewart's goal. First time that the Storm has posted a clean sheet in the third quarter.
Blast keep shooting off the wall. TWO-MINUTE PENALTY: Long is going off for Tripping at 4:51. Blast is on the power play.
You perhaps thought I would say something lame like "Baltimore keeps blasting it off the wall"! Waltman makes a crucial save.
