Battle of The Boulet

[Brandon 426]

 

Game 279, it was Moscow vs DC Dragons, two of the top teams in the league versing each other, but truthfully eyes were on two players in particular. Duncan Idaho @OrbitingDeath and Henri le Massif @Garsh were both neck and neck battling for one of the most grueling and physically demanding awards up for grabs, the Scott Boulet trophy. Both playing with an edge, it was only a matter of time before the ticking time bomb would go off. I'm not sure the fans knew when waking up that morning that that they would be witnessing a game of a life time. 

 

2 minutes into the second period, while Duncan Idaho was crossing into the Moscow blueline and cutting across the ice, Henri le Massif went for a massive run on Idaho, with Idaho barely dodging it and losing the puck in the process. Idaho took exception and immediately dropped the gloves. Both players each landed a few good punches, but to the naked it eye it was pretty obviously a tie. You could tell in the air there was unfinished business, as the referee's broke up the fight fairly quickly. However, it was not more than 15 minutes later, when Duncan Idaho, out for revenge, went after le Massif behind the play, surprising le Massif and starting an absolute war of a fight. It would end with Idaho landing the final blow, skating away smiling while being handed a game misconduct. le Massif got to finish out the game, however it was apparent that the Menace couldn't keep up with the Dragons that night, ultimately losing 5-1 in an all-around team victory for DC, with 6 players having a multi-point game.

 

After all said and done, 22 penalty minutes and a game misconduct was assessed to Duncan Idaho, and 16 minutes of penalties was given to Henri le Massif. It was a barn burner, that's for sure.
