Two men. One game. Writer vs. Reader in the ultimate showdown for video hockey supremacy.
The Second Period
The second period was less eventful, with both of us settling in defensively and giving each other less open opportunities to score. All of my old-school moves were slowly coming back to me, however - the Zig-Zag, the Hook'n'Swallow, the fine art of checking - and I managed to get on the scoreboard with Mark Messier to make it 3-2. Momentum was slowly shifting in my favor.
I managed to keep Insanolord off of the scoreboard for the rest of the period, gradually clawing my way back into the game.
