The best part about a brewing rivalry between a goalie and a forward (particularly a goal-scoring forward) is that there's plenty of space separating the two for most of the game. When word of the ever-growing hostility between Time and Snooks reached the Edmonton coaching staff, their first instinct was to sit down with the two and hammer out the issue, but there simply wasn't enough time to address it before the team's next game. What happened next changed the plan significantly. In a scrappy game in Chicago, the Syndicate came out hot, scoring in the opening minute of the game. Conner was the first Blizzard player to reach the net after the goal, and while nobody is sure what he said to Time, the two played with an unmatched intensity from then on. Snooks would record a goal and an assist in the game, and Time would register 30 saves as the Blizzard came back to win 5-3. The team went on a tear afterward, posting a 5-1 record and climbing up the division rankings. Time went 5-0 in his starts, and Snooks would score at least a point per game, including a 5 point showing in a rout against New England. Nobody is sure where the rivalry is going, but for now the coaching staff is content to let them fuel each other toward a strong finish to the season.
