Hockey is a major part of the lives of every athlete in the NHL, it goes without saying. However, life is more than just work and players obviously develop friendships along the way. It's exactly the case with Predators' James Neal and Ducks' Jared Boll. Both guys are facing each other in this history series which is taking an ugly turn on the ice. 

How can they manage to preserve their friendship with all that's going on? Pretty simply, actually. 


It may sound dumb when it's written so simply, but facing your best friend and groomsman is no picnic. You want to go hard and dominate, but at the same time you surely don't want to hurt your friend and the friendship that goes with it. Going soft on an opponent is not an option, but at least if you don't talk, things stay on a business level. 

Pay attention to their relation on this ice tonight, as both teams are facing off for game 5 in just a few hours.
