UPDATE TO THE UPDATE: Both teams have taken to the ice for warm-ups. I haven't seen any officials come out to check the conditions, though, so it's looking like we'll have a 8:30 start.
UPDATE: Pending the condition of the ice, warm-ups will be at 7:55 and the game will start at 8:30.
The compressor for the ice broke at Toyota Center earlier today, and though it's now working, ice conditions are still not good enough to skate on -- you can see the water on the ice from the press box. So the game is looking at a delay -- we're hearing at least 30 minutes.
Keep checking in with T3I here and on twitter and we'll try to let you know what's going on.

Slicing Up The SLICE
As you no doubt no by now, there was no Aeros/Rampage contest tonight. The reason can generously be described as being due to bad/dangerous ice conditions.
The Aeros will supposedly be sending an email out to all of those who purchased tickets in an effort to refund the money spent for tickets. And the team will hold a skills competition on Monday night at SLICE for anyone who cares to come out and watch.
Andrew and I spoke to Mike Yeo a bit after the cancellation. He was a bit disappointed, and admitted he had been pumped for the game. Seeing as how this was to be his first game as head coach, it's not hard to understand why. The game was going to be important for him as a way to evaluate several of the players who are on the bubble of making the squad. As for Sunday's game, he said that he was going to try to play the squad that will be on the team come next weekend's opener in Oklahoma City.
As to which player has surprised and pleased him most since he's taken over for the Aeros, the answer would be Matt Hackett, and knowing how well Hackett plays will, he says, ease the burden caused by Josh Harding's injury.
