"[Klempal is a very talented spark plug type of guy who is very difficult to play against," Paluch said. "He gives his team a pretty good lift." Perhaps Petruska will be able to do the same for BG as his team battles Klempa's for fifth place in the CCHA. Both players assisted for their respective teams last March in a Nebraska playoff victory. This weekend will be the first time they have taken the ice against each other since that series and both players said they are looking forward to it. "It's always fun to play against someone like that and be able to talk in your own native language," said Petruska. "Talking to him on the ice is pretty cool, but other than that it's just another player to me," said Klempa. "We might say 'hey' or whatever on the ice, but other than that it's really nothing special." v\ joking Petruska offered a umerent side to their on-ice exchanges in Slovak. "He always asks me to fight, so I suppose I should Offering you all of you expect that."
