Strong competitive spirit has long been the trademark of the Brussels Bulls/Hanover Barons face-offs and this little skirmish in front of the Barons' net during the first period shows how heated things can sometimes be.

Jason Rutledge and Christopher Howson then assisted on Ryan Chamney's power play goal. Michael de Jong assisted on Blyth's third goal as Brian Marks roofed the puck on a partial breakaway. Brian McNichol backhanded home Blyth's fourth first period goal with assists to Christopher Howson and Henry Bos. Michael de Jong upped the count to 5-0 early in the second by trailing the play and depositing Brian Marks' rebound through a maze of legs.
