Bloodcicle

Things are really getting intense. One of the more outspoken players went down hard. Everyone heard the dull sickening thud of skull smacking against the unforgiving ice, but no one claims to have seen anything. The individual, who will go unnamed, said they "slipped and hit their head". No one believes it, but that is the code of curling.

No matter what really happened we all know that when they come back, if they come back, anything that was done afoul will be met with stiff repercussions. I can't say I'm surprised. Tensions are running high, and they'll be making additional cuts to get down to the final roster soon. I could see the disbelief in a lot of the newbies eyes. Probably the first time they've seen a pool of blood freeze to the ice. They never show that on TV. The training staff took their time scraping the blood away, and even then it left a slight pink tint to the ice that will be a reminder for some time to come.
