The philadelphia forge of the simulation hockey league are facing their expansion rivals, the Montreal Patriotes, the gold and burgandy of the Atlantic Division. Coach Dans Zpeffier was irate, throwing water bottles, clipboards, breaking sticks in the tunnel. It's the first game of the season for christ's sake! We shouldn't be getting demolished this badly, esppecially not with the new additions the team has picked up. So, since the boys are out there and struggling hard to run them up, it's about time that they start to fill em in. The boys start getting chirpy out there at first, giving a few extra slashes here and there. Then they switch into old school hockey NHL Hitz '03 mode, where the hits are massive and they don't stop going. Finally the Montreal team gets frustrated with the physicality and starts chirping hard at the Forge boys. So go to 10 minutes left in the 3rd, face off just outside the zone and Igor is chirping hard with their right forward. Whistle goes and so do the gloves. The bench is hollering and yelling, tapping sticks for the first fight of the season. Igor wails on the poor Patriote, refs blow the whistle. 5 minutes for fighting. Igor sits in the box and doesn't feel shame, he feels pride, and exuberance and adrenaline coursing through his body that he got the boys going. The forge end up scoring 3 in the last half of the period, pull the goalie and then the empty netter.
