LPLL keeping it real

[jRuutu 2,464]

I think it´s fair to say that Quebec defender Luc-Pierre Lespineau-Lebrunette was ready to play when game seven started, 0.59 was played when he already dropped the gloves. Oyorra Arroyo was the unlucky player who dared to go one vs one with the beast from Quebec, LPLL won, but as we know now - Arroyo was the happier player when game was over, 2+1 and his team celebrated the cup victory.

 

LPLL´s dominant performance was not over after the fight, he took in total of six minor penalties in the game! Especially the third period was work of art, four minor penalties and all for different reasons: holding, interference, slashing and hooking. Earlier in the game he got one for high sticking and one for hooking. I believe the only one missing from the famous LPLL trick of sticks was penalty for spearing.

 

Despite the trick of sticks not getting completed, we got to enjoy a professional do his work when it matters the most, if you cant show up when it matters the most, there is no point in doing too much talking about who is the toughest etc, LPLL showed that being a tough guy is not something you choose or turn on and off, it´s with you all day and every day.
