Ah, the sweet smell of hockey and the grinding of ice skates, the Minnesota Frost versus Montreal Victoire. A clash of titans that is as sure to entertain as a bear dancing ballet. Let's have a quick look-see at the history between these puck pugilists. Our last five matchups are split, folks, with both teams enjoying victory over their rival twice, and one match being an 'I'll scratch your back if you scratch mine' affair ending without a clear winner.
The sun seems to be shining a bit brighter on Montreal though, when we glance at the regular season record. Victoire sitting prouder with a sassy 9-3-1-2 compared to the Frost's lukewarm 5-4-3-6. Tut tut Minnesota, looks like you've been caught frosting the puck.
Let's not ignore the recent performances and momentum of these fine athletes either. The Frost, although living up to their chilly namesake, managed to only secure a single victory in their last five games. Meanwhile, our Canuck friends in Montreal have been blazing a trail with a clean sweep, a five out of five record. Quite the winning streak, ain't it?
Taking into account the nuances, it's about as clear as a fresh sheet of ice who carries the day in this forthcoming frigid fracas.
