Greetings from Glens Falls Civic Center, where we're about a half hour away from puck drop on the 2012-13 season. Portland is in town tonight and so are a bunch of Philadelphia Flyers brass. I spotted GM Paul Holmgren and coach Peter Laviolette in the press box. Team officials tell me assistant coach Craig Berube is also here along with assistant general manager John Paddock. It's crowded.

Here's the line combinations we saw in warm-ups, in no particular order:

Portland Pirates

Bloodoff- Szwarz-Hextall
Rechlicz-Shinnimin-Lane
Brown-Miele-Klinkhamer
Conner-Werek-Bolduc

(Ekman-Larsson)-Stone
Louis-Gormley
Summers-Rundblad

Johnson
Visentin

Adirondack Phantoms

Schenn-Couturier-Ford
Holmstrom-Roe-McGinn
Rinaldo-Johnston-Brown
Zolnierczyk-Bordson-Wellwood

Gustafsson-Bourdon
Manning-Syvret
Lauridsen-Eddy

Munroe
Heeter

Looks like Mangene, Testwuide and Harper are the scratches. EDIT: They are. Also, FitzGerald and Dimmen. Also, scratch Klinkhammer, Martinook and Dziurzynski for Portland.

 Based on the way they've handled warm-ups, it looks like Scott Munroe is between the pipes. EDIT: He is.

More after the game.
