Kermit Murphy was ecstatic to get another shot at taking down his Seattle Argonauts defense partner and mentor, Cassius Darrow - the captain of the Grizzled Vets squad. He had risen to the occasion in their first meeting with a few points, but the way Darrow was able to command the game and read plays on sheer experience stuck with Murphy even as they returned to Seattle to play together. After more and more practice time and games alongside the future Hall of Famer, Murphy was quickly learning to slow the game down for himself and make consistently positive plays in just about every scenario. This game represented a chance to prove himself further to the captain of the Argonauts who had taken him under his wing since he arrived in the organization. Murphy scored the first goal of the game, blocked 7 shots, and sent teammate Vaseline Podcalzone in alone on a breakaway late to seal a 2-0 win in his 26 minutes of ice time.
