According to Detroit Hockey Now’s Bob Duff, Red Wings goaltending prospect and Grand Rapids Griffins Sebastian Cossa had an interesting conversation with Rockford IceHogs goaltender Drew Commesso when the two encountered each other as their respective teams engaged in a spirited bout:
An altercation beside the Rockford net broke out between Grand Rapids forward Cross Hanas and Icehogs defenseman Kevin Korchinski. Bantle went after Korchinsi and then suddenly, Rockford goalie Drew Commesso was jumping into the fray to make it a foursome.
The next thing you know, Cossa is rambling all the way down the ice. He and Commesso wound up paired off in the midst of what was now a melee involving all 12 players on the ice.
“I asked him if he wanted to go,” Cossa said. “He said, ‘No.’ And then it was just kind of congratulating each other on our NHL debuts and stuff like that.”
…
On December 14, Commesso made his first NHL start. He was making 20 stops in a 4-1 loss to the New Jersey Devils.
“Wished each other the best of luck the rest of the way here,” Cossa added. “We’ll be seeing them down the road here.”
