The two teams trade dumps like some randy Space-docking teenagers.
A few checks are exchanged between the Centers, Gold and Kane, as defensemen, Claude, and Finn-Rhys ping pong the puck from blue line to blue line.
Some minutes go by and Simothy Drunkebird heads towards the bench for a line change. On his way there, he gives Zbignew Pokrywka a firm slash across the laces. Z-Poke swings back, but can’t get much as Drunkebird escapes to his bench to throw chirps. Kane finishes Drunkebird’s aggressions with a heavy shoulder to Pokrywka’s sternum.
Colorado’s first line heads to the bench as the two’s start to come on. Continuing the theme, Vorian Atreides skates right for Zbignew Pokrywka, but is met with a glove shimmy and a stick drop. Atreides obliges and drops his mitts! We have our first fight of the series!
Pokrywka = 2002 JR, Atreides = Krivokrasov
The two skate off to the box to serve their time. Atreides makes use of the ice packs.
