Hello CCHL media, fans, players and staff.
On October 24th 2020, the St. Louis Blues were taking on the Quebec Nordiques in a 730pm Eastern game at the Scottrade Center in St. Louis.
At 11:00 of the 2nd period, Justin Abdelkader of St Louis and Viktor Arvidsson of Quebec squared off in a heated, but even fight. Neither player was declared a victor. Both players were issued a 5 minute major for fighting, but Justin Abdelkader was also issued a game misconduct for instigating the fight. Video footage from before the two started fighting shows Justin grabbing his private area and yelling at Viktor "Tell your wife this American meat is better than your tiny Swedish meatballs." This didn't phase Viktor and Justin continued to taunt "As if you guys didn't support us in the Vietnam War, and now you are over here stealing money away from good working Americans like Robbie Schremp who should be a solid 2nd line NHLer if this league wasn't washed down with guys like you, make up your mind Sweden!". This still didnt phase Viktor. However, then Justin slashed Viktor in the back of the leg, and said "You must have trouble understanding what I am trying to do here, so let me break out one of those dumb Ikea instruction manuals and show you in pictures that I am trying to fight you, you dumb swedish idiot" and then Justin flipped him two middle fingers Stone Cold style. Viktor was then seen saying "Ikea is sacred, do not bring them up!!!" and went flying after Justin.
Justin was removed from the game and no other incidents occured. The League decided to suspend Justin Adbelkader one game for instigating the fight, and he must purchase and build 100 desks from Ikea and donate them to charity.
Justin Abdelkader will be sitting out the game on October 26th against the Sharks.
