Toast 887 Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 Media was absolutely shocked when a quiet practice morning turned into heated words and fists being thrown A face just begging to be punched HOUSTON, TX - Things got out of hand for the Bulls when teammates had to separate star goalie, Bill Nye the Puck Stopping Guy and the newly acquired Lloyd Braun after an argument broke out between the two. It was hard to hear what caused it all but it seems the disdain from Braun towards Bill Nye has been brewing for many years. “I used to see this guy on the TV and on videos online,” said Braun. “He’s just here for another few clicks online and doesn’t respect the game. I’m not someone who is afraid to share what I think and he didn’t like that. I don’t mind trying to sort out our differences with how we did this morning.” The Houston Bulls acquired Braun alongside Phil Strasmore from the San Diego Marlins for a handful of picks as the Bulls look to continue their conquest to lead the VHLM. With the team’s strong play so far it seems this altercation between teammates isn’t going to be something that management gets involved in as they’ve already announced neither player will be benched or see a punishment for what happened during the practice. “Sometimes things can get a little heated even between teammates,” said the Houston head coach following the practice. “It’s clear that Lloyd has been carry a grudge for some time and we just hope that the boys can focus on what’s most important here at the halfway point of the season. We shouldn’t even be talking about things like this during practice.” “I don’t owe him an apology,” said a confident Braun. “Sure, he’s playing well in the crease but just about anyone could with the talent that we have on this team. I’ve already had to bail him out five different times now! If it wasn’t for me his save percentage would be in the gutters and no one would both giving him interview time or attention on the highlight reels.” While it’s clear that these two players do not get along, the results on the ice are saying otherwise. Braun has been quite the team-first defender since arriving in Houston and does have five shots blocked in his eight games thus far with the team. He’s also got five assists recorded and six points total with the team. “I need to show to the VHL teams that they can count on me on the ice,” said Braun. “There is no way that Bill Nye is going to be anything more than a celebrity taking his 15 seconds of fame in the net so I need to focus on where my career is going to take me. I know that I have what it takes to be one of the best in the game and I will be damned if I’m going to let some old man ruin all of this for me. I’m looking forward to this season being over.” AJW 1 Link to comment https://vhlforum.com/topic/124044-practice-brawl-in-houston/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
