39 seconds into the game and Tokolosh has the puck but here comes Big Tig Murphy who levels the bovine winger with a hit

The puck squirts free and Rockefeller picks it up and is racing towards the net! An early chance for the Blizzard here.........

Kryyst is tested early but comes up with a huge stop on the breakaway!!!

We're just over 50 seconds into the game and Wilson is possessing the puck for Hamilton. The crowd is booing but Wilson is determined, taking the puck into the EDM zone (EDM zone??? better bring your neon clothes and molly am i right)

Brady McIntyre seems swept up in the moment with the booing and tries to hit Wilson, falling down and accidentally tripping Wilson as he does.

Tor Tuck scoops up the loose puck and the play is blown dead - just 58 seconds into the game and we've got our first power play as McIntyre goes to the box for tripping.

Boija wins the faceoff for Hammy and gets it back to Murphy, who winds up for the one-timer.....

The shot goes wide!

But Hamilton corrals the puck and gets it over to Aaron Wilson, who winds up to shoot...

BLOCKED by Teddy Cuddles - this old man is making sure he leaves it all out there on the ice in his final season!

The puck bounces off Cuddles' soft flesh to Dank Boija, who fires a shot on net of his own.....

Misses the net but goes around to Wilson again, who fires a shot...

Misses the net AGAIN

but it bounces back to him. Wilson skates it back to the point, wheels and sends it on to Hugh Jazz, who attempts a tough-angle shot.....

(fuck my gif isn't working lol)

Not even two minutes into the game and Hamilton has drawn first blood! A power play goal from Hugh Jazz assisted by Aaron Wilson and Dank Boija

ahh there we go
