Myers' Friday night foil

With Kelowna's Tyler Myers reverting to his early season pugilistic tendencies by dropping the mitts in two of his last three games, here is a short clip of his bout with 6'5 Bo Montgomery of Medicine Hat on Friday. The 6'7-3/4 defender also earned an instigator and a ten minute misconduct. Contrary to the play-by-play, Myers didn't absorb the initial check, but rather he stepped in to make Montgomery accountable. It's refreshing to see this part of Myers development taking shape. The Rockets were leading 8-1 in the third at the time of the scrap, so the misconduct wasn't a factor.
