Coach interviews in the first intermission, player interviews in the second. Former OSU goaltender April Stojak will be the guest analyst.

Weather note: There seems to be the potential for some nasty weather in the Columbus area this weekend. We will make every effort to get to the rink, but we apologize to listeners in advance if travel problems prevent us from broadcasting the game as planned.

With regard to this weekend's weather: I'm no meteorologist, but I think you guys will be OK. It has stopped raining here; (finally) and it looks like most roads should have a reasonable chance to dry off before any below freezing temperatures hit. 45 minutes to the north, it sounds like they may have a major ice problem. So Columbus may be catching a break. We really got nailed by the Christmas storm; I guess we were due for some better luck. BTW, all of the Christmas snow and ice is gone.

I'm glad you're coming; travel safely along the way.

P.S. I am assuming that you're flying. If you're considering driving, you'll need a lot more information than I can provide!

Thank you for the info and I will be flying from the east. Under good conditions, this particular trip is convenient (and affordable) because there's a 90-minute direct flight from New York City to Columbus.

Excellent! Have a good time while you're here.
