Fortunately, the team the Admirals iced tonight won't be at all like the team they'll go into the regular season with.

Paul White of the Virginian Pilot writes Admirals Head Coach Steve Stirling in planning to cut another 4-5 Sunday night or Monday morning to coincide with the last batch of cuts from Lightning camp.

Norfolk starts their preseason slate tonight at 7 pm in Hershey.

Tampabaylightning.com is reporting a goaltending decision has been made in Tampa and prospect Karri Ramo is the odd man out. Ramo and winger Justin Keller have been assigned to Norfolk.

Ramo, 6-foot-2, 201-pounds, played in one game this preseason and earned a 4-3 win against the Detroit Red Wings. He posted a 3.00 goals-against average and a .870 save percentage. The sixth-round pick also posted a 1.12 goals-against average and a .964 save percentage in four training camp scrimmages.

Keller joined the Lightning from Norfolk on September 26 and played in his first preseason game against the Red Wings on September 27. In his one preseason game he logged 10:17 of ice time, landed two hits and recorded one shot on goal.

Both players will travel to meet the Admirals in Philadelphia as they prepare for a 1 p.m. game against the Phantoms on Sunday.

On Sunday at the Chilled Ponds Ice Sports Complex in Chesapeake, Radek Smolenak scored the game-tying and go-ahead goals to propel Team White past Team Blue 6-4 in the Admirals’ annual Blue vs. White intra-squad scrimmage game.
