HURRICANES TIE FIRST GAME; INJURIES TO BOTH PRONGER AND NASLUND

The Calgary Hurricanes opened the season up in Vancouver with what is being described the most disgusting display of sportsmanship in the TFHL in recent seasons.

"Unbelievable." Said Coach Marc Crawford.

With 32 seconds into the first period period Steve Montador went right for the Hurricanes best player, Markus Naslund. Naslund is only out day to day but was banged up. "We are
taking precautionary measures with Nazzy at this time. Its early on, so we figured we'd give him a rest for Sundays game." Said Coach Crawford. Montador was immediately ejected from the game.

"This is reminiscent of Markus' days in the NHL when Steve Moore went after him. Theres no room for this kind of hockey in our league." And if it wasn't enough Tomas Divisek went after one of the leagues superstar defenseman Chris Pronger in the middle of the third period.
Divisek was ejected immediately.

"Plain and simple, the Misconducts are a dirty and disgusting team. We'll be ready next time we play them." Said Coach Crawford.
