They were were playing the Minnesota Swarm. The Swarm had a 1 - 6 record so it should have been an easy win (the Rock had a 3 - 4 record).
The Rock Cheerleaders entertained before the game started.
Scotty Newlands sang the national anthems.
The Rock huddled to get psyched.
And the game began ...
It was a fairly scrappy game right away.
