CALGARY, Alberta – Brandon Bollig said he and former teammate Jonathan Toews almost dropped the gloves in their last meeting in Chicago.
Almost.
“I asked him last game, he said yes and I kind of backed down. I got scared. I didn’t want to get beat up by one of the best players in the league,” Bollig said to laughs. “Maybe tonight I’ll muster up the courage.”
All possible pugilist matchups aside, former Blackhawks' Bollig and Michael Frolik and the Flames are looking to fight their way back into the playoff picture. The Flames went to the second round of the playoffs last spring; the Anaheim Ducks ended their run in that round.
