Deja vu. The Gulls and Barracuda tangle again, 48 hours after their last encounter. (The Barracuda leave immediately after the game to head to Ontario for a Saturday evening game.)
Stollery suspended for one game for his elbow in Wednesday’s game. Haley reassigned to Barracuda. (Lerg may be returning as well with Donskoi, Smith, and Martin potentially back in the NHL lineup.)
7pm game – doors open at 6:15.

The guys still seem to be looking for the perfect pass, the perfect SOG. Not gonna happen. Especially with a NHL-caliber goalie in net. Gotta get the dirty goals, the fast shots to even have a chance.
There were some fireworks tonight, starting with Bickel vs Arseneau about 90 seconds into the contest. That set the tone for a lot of physicality, with a parade to the penalty box, primarily for the Barracuda.
Gulls won on the shot clock, zone time and on the scoreboard.
Little time to lick their wounds, as the guys boarded a bus after the game for an overnight trip to Ontario to face the Reign Saturday 6pm.
