Its been a long con, a game of patience, and setting a seed really early on in their careers. Coming into the SMJHL side by side as rookies, Derek Martin and Erik Bergmark (@NYR73) had something to prove, both wanting to leave their mark, the former having been a 4th overall pick, and the latter begin a 12th overall pick. When they'd play each other, Derek would gently whisper ''poop face'' in Erik's ear, something mild, but something that overtime would perhaps come to be an advantage for him. After Erik eclipsed Derek in their SMJHL careers, and after he had a better start on Baltimore than Derek did in Los Angeles, Derek has had Erik's number for the last three seasons, narrowly inching him out on goals and points in that period of time, adding a layer of annoyance. This brings us to season 77, Derek is having a slump, and needs to activate his trap card. As such, Erik is ripe, ready to be forced into an unexpected goon match, ready to lose his marbles without even understanding how it happened. They're one ''poop face'' away from a bout of fisticuffs that could hopefully turn the tides on the season.
