Rival hockey pros Bessette and Láska hate each other. When their aggression crosses the line into the dressing rooms, it creates bodily collisions nothing like what happens on the ice.

The team is floundering, and it's largely Chernyaev's fault. The Russian goalie needs to be punished for his misdeeds before he can get back on track. It's the kind of punishment only Láska can dish out—and he needs Bessette's assistance.
