Two heavyweights wait for the puck to drop, remove their helmets and settle the score to start the contest.
Worcester Sharks‘ enforcer Jimmy Bonneau(43), who didn’t appear in either game in Newfoundland, and St. John’s IceCaps‘ leveler Blair Riley(25) take care of business for the ill will that started at the teams’ last meeting a couple weeks prior.
They fought relentlessly but you had the sense when it was all done both combatants sort of just shrugged it off as another day at the office.
And then both got tossed for good measure in a call that still has analysts scratching their heads.
