The contrast between Hamilton’s fleet forwards transitioning in lethal fashion off of their trap and Bears’ forwards bogged down in neutral zone frustration was a defining portrait of game one.

“We know they’ve got a lot more to give,” Hamilton head coach Don Lever said afterward. “That wasn’t their ‘A’ game.”

With a little more than two minutes remaining, a disenchanted Bears’ supporter could be heard chanting, “We want mayhem!” He got it alright. Nearly 60 minutes of message-sending mischief littered the ice with gear and stopped play for nearly ten minutes, while the referees sorted out the sordidness.

The problem was, a message of change most needed to be sent to Carey Price, who was standing idle 100 feet away.
