It's the grizzled Vets opening game against the up and comers. Chester Cunningham takes the face-off against Steve Harrington and snaps it back before Harrington even knows what happened. Barney Stinson shoots it into the zone and Eriksson goes in on the forecheck and demolishes Hugh Jazz in the corner to get the puck. He skates it right to the front and rips a shot bar down on Doyle. Just like that the Vets are already up a Goal. The up and comers finally get possession and they are scared. None of them have ever seen so much physicality before. They are afraid of getting hit cause all they k on are poke checks. Eriksson and Cunningham keep throwing checks and by now Harrington and Minamino are limping off the ice. Timmonen keeps icing the puck because he's afraid to cross the blue line. The veterans have all the noobs shaking in their skates. It's obvious the era of skill and size was dominant.
