Meanwhile, in Syracuse,

The Syracuse Crunch have just gotten finished with the day's practice and since they do not have a game later on that day, some of the players have decided to hang out and watch the Lightning's game on the TV. Yanni Gourde, Otto Somppi, Brett Howden, and Jonne Tammela are all walking out of the arena and as usual, bickering occurs between the Finn and the 2016 First Round Pick.

"Tammy, why do you want to always ruin my flawless looks?" Brett spits out at his teammate.

"Well, you always react, so it's kinda funny for me to watch you go, 'OMG! MY HAIR!'" Jonne pretends to fix his hair in a mocking fashion, while frantically looking at his phone as though he is Brett Howden.

This only gets Brett madder than usual at Jonne, and they start arguing. Otto and Yanni, who would usually listen into 'debates,' are tuned out of the conversation for once. Yanni holds a simple note in his hand. At first glance, no one would assume anything, until they look at his ghostly pale face.

"Otto...someone is threatening me."

Otto looks at Yanni and says in choppy English, "Why would people threaten you?"

Yanni shrugs. "I don't know! I haven't made anyone mad recently, as far as I know of!"

Brett and Jonne turn towards Yanni, in the middle of their argument. They look at the Crunch Captain and see that he is pale. Then both Brett and Jonne rush over and gather around their spooked teammate.

"What's wrong? Is that note from a lover?" Jonne half-teases, earning a smack on the shoulder from Brett. He rubs his shoulder and eyes Brett.

Yanni's hand shakes as he holds out the note to those two. "Here. See...for yourself."

Brett takes the note out of Yanni's hand, and opens it up. He starts to read it out loud as Jonne gets into his personal space, looking over his shoulder. "I've been watching you, I know what you've been up to. One more wrong move and you're done for. Say goodbye to your team while you still can. Until we meet again, I'll be watching you."

"Whoa." Jonne nuzzles against Brett's neck, freaking him out. He shoves the Finn backward, away from him.

Brett then throws the note on the ground. "Who could be threatening you Yanni?"

"Also, why would someone write you a note, I thought this was the digital age. Just send a threatening text instead." Jonne shrugs.

Yanni shakes his head. "I don't know. I mean, I know that I've gotten people mad before on the ice, but I usually clear the air as soon as I can. I don't have any real enemies. I mean, I try not to get enemies."

Jonne picks up the note and holds it up to Yanni. "Do you recognize the handwriting on the note?"

Yanni shakes his head. "No. I don't know whose handwriting that can be. Who would want to do this anyway?"

Otto has finally managed to piece the puzzle together in his mind, since he can't understand English real well. "Maybe Bolts know? We contact them and see what they know?" He holds his hands up at his sides in a 'what' gesture.

Yanni gasps and claps Otto on the back. "Otto, that's a great idea! Let's go contact the team!"

Brett decides that it is a great moment to use his phone as a mirror to fix his hair. Yanni sees the cell and an idea forms in his head. "Hey, Brett, uh, can I just borrow your phone for a second?"
