Frederic was reportedly fuming after the game and rightfully so:
"Trent Frederic was reportedly screaming and absolutely fumed and had to be restrained heading back to the locker room. He mentioned getting choked on the ground by Ryan Lomberg after their tussle. After I rewatched the film, you can see Frederic's legs squirming and flailing. Disgusting move by Lomberg, not one bit surprised. "
