Short summary

Surprisingly enough, when it comes to defensive stats, the Firebirds actually did very well compared to the Raiders. You'd think if a team held another to only 10 shots, they'd be pretty good defensively, but I guess this proves that it was PGF being incredibly weak on the offensive side.

Georgette Pel (HAL), 8 saves from 10 shots - (0.800), L, 3-6-1, 59:07 minutes
Ben Waters (PGF), 22 saves from 23 shots - (0.957), W, 16-3-5, 60:00 minutes
Waters absolutely stole this game, and it's one of few, despite his stats, that he's really completely won with barely any help. Halifax had double the shots of PGF in this boring and low shooting/scoring game, and yet Waters manages to go insane against Halifax, and Pel fails and gives up 2 goals on only 10 shots. ouch. Way to lose.

In close games like this, special teams can make all the difference, and both teams did alright on special teams. Neither has anything write home about unfortunately.
3 stars
3 - Sven Wolf (PGF)
the Center managed an assist and 3 hits this game, and in a low scoring, and especially low shooting game like this, that's actually pretty impressive. Wolf has already shown that he can produce and isn't no slouch when it comes to the draft this year.

2- Hylytyr NoRetornable (PGF)
Hylytyr had 2 shots. Those 2 shots represented 1/5th of PGF's shots this game. That's insane. We've already gone over how bad PGF was this game, but considering the contributions both athletes made despite this. it's deserving of 2nd and 3rd stars.

1- Ben Waters (PGF)
This can't be a surprise. He stole the game from out under Halifax's noses, Had Dafoe been in net, this would've been a completely different ball game. That's why he deserves a first star.

Game Link</div>

The home stretch is beginning in the SMJHL, and teams are starting to push hard for the playoffs. Although in different conferences, the rivalry between these two American teams runs deep. The Falcons got the upper hand on the Mammoths last time they met, but this game, the first of a home and home series, could set the tone for the end of the season for both teams.

First Period
The first period started slowly, but the pace picked up four minutes in when Leclerc went off for tripping. The Colorado powerplay has been quiet through their offensive struggles, but they took the ice early in the first desperate to prove what they could do.

Toohoots is in with the shorthanded chance - and is stoned by Rudnikova! Leetch handles the rebound and starts the attack back up ice toward the Detroit zone. He passes to Stamkos, who finds Goddard in the neutral zone. Goddard dumps the puck before heading off for a change, and McSieve picks it up easily. He clears to Sinikka, but O’Dooley is there with his stick, and it’s the Mammoth’s puck now. Pass to Dover, who shoots - just wide! O’Dooley gets it off the boards, sending it across the crease to Renninger, who’s shot - also goes wide. Dover goes back for it this time, skating behind the goal, he looks for the wraparound - and SCORES! Ben Dover scores on the powerplay, and the Mammoths are up 1-0 early on.

Dover fetches the puck from behind the net to score a beauty
Detroit continued to push, racking up an impressive number of shots, but it was Colorado who would actually score again ten minutes later.

Toohoots with the shot, but it’s blocked by Legend, who controls it in his own zone. He passes to Kovalchuk to start the transition, who’s off like a rocket, speeding through the neutral zone. He hammers a shot in from the blue line, but it goes just wide! He skates around for his own rebound, though, and has another shot near post - he SCORES! Mammoths go up 2-0 on only three shots.

Kovalchuck scores right under McSieve’s pad after retrieving his own shot only moments before
Detroit wasn’t quite ready to be done, however, and had a massive surge with only a minute and a half left in the first period.

Dover loses the puck to Muller in center ice, and the Falcons are off. Pass to Vikstrom, to Berzins, who finds Konstantinov streaking up the side. Back to Muller, then across to Evans, as the Falcons set up in the Mammoth’s zone. Berzins calls for it, and Evans sends it across the ice. Back to Vikstrom near the net - he can’t find anything, but Konstantinov is alone in the slot, and he SCORES! Vikstrom may have tipped it, but regardless, that’s a much-needed goal for the Falcons as they’ll likely end the period down only 2-1.

Vikstrom gets the perfect tip to get the Falcons on the board
Despite an incredibly low shot count, the Mammoths were able to build a sizeable lead by the end of the first, although Detroit was not far behind.
Shots: 13-4

Second Period
The Falcons used intermission wisely, and came back on the ice quickly with something to prove, getting into the Mammoths zone within the first minute of play.

Berkis rips another shot, but this one is gloved by Rudnikova, and she’s going to wait for the whistle. There’s a quick change, but it’s Toohoots and Yakikov who come up for the faceoff. Toohoots wins it, straight back to Moleman. He fakes a shot before passing it to Leclerc at the blueline. Toohoots is calling for it, but he loses the angle on the shot - Berkis is right across the crease though, and he rips it in! Berkis SCORES right over Rudnikova’s shoulder, and this game is even at 2!

Toohoots sends the puck across the rink to Berkis for the quick shot
Only a few minutes later, Rising Hippo would go off for slashing, and continuing the Mammoth’s struggles with special teams, the Falcons killed off the penalty easily. The Mammoths would follow suit, however, as Sim Browski would get sent off for hooking. The Falcons failed to convert, and the second period wouldn’t see more action until much closer to the end.

Metzler has the puck, but he turns it over to O’Dooley in the neutral zone, and he starts the Mammoths back the other way. Renninger is already set at the blue line, and O’Dooley sends it straight to him. Renninger rips a slapshot, and - Stamkos gets his stick on it, and the Mammoths SCORE! This game is tied no longer, and the Mammoths are back on top 3-2.

Stamkos Jr. gets his stick on the puck just enough to knock it past McSieve
Despite not generating much offense, the Mammoths still managed to hold onto their one-goal lead, and left Detroit only one period to make up some much-needed ground.
Shots: 24-8

Third Period
It was the Mammoth’s turn to come out hot, bursting into the Falcon’s zone only seconds after the opening face off.

Stamkos beats Toohoots on the face off, winning it back to Maguku. He speeds up the ice, completely twisting Sinikka around to enter the Detroit zone. He rips a shot, but it goes wide! Renninger retrieves the puck, and it’s a fierce slapshot - SCORES! It looks like Stamkos Jr. may have tipped it again, giving him the second goal of his night. One thing’s for certain, however - McSieve is done for this game, and Anderson is already making his way onto the ice now. Tough break for the Falcons, but the Mammoths are now up 4-2.

McSieve breaks his stick before leaving the rink, disappointed with his dismal performance
Despite a multitude of penalties throughout the third - Colorado took 5, and the Falcons took 2 - the game ended at 4-2, with both Anderson and Rudnikova standing on their heads for the entirety of the period.
Shots: 40-13

SMJHL Network Recap
</div>

SMJHL Network’s Skipp Santos recaps all the league’s games nightly. Skipp is often joined by guest co-hosts Albert Williams. and Cindy McNair.

Skipp Santos: It’s St. Louis at Halifax for tonight’s affair. Towards the bottom of the East division, Halifax needed to win tonight’s game. Let’s get into it. Halifax saw powerplay time twice in the first. Following a delaying the game penalty at 3:49 and hooking by Kelly Rivet at 10:43. Kyle Wahlgren with the big stops, however. Halifax finds themselfs on the scoresheet towards the end of the period.

Pass from Casper Jakobsson, Victor Lindstrom looks over the zone. He sees an opening and passes it to Isaac Kaiser. Kaiser shoots and HE SCORES! The fans in the Raiders’ arena are going absolutely wild.

Cindy McNair: Casper Jakobsson continues to prove to be worth all those picks that Halifax gave up. Contributing all the time, in key situations, putting his team up first. The first team to score is often the victor.

Skipp Santos: That ends the 1st period. Entering the second period, St. Louis needed a response. They found that just two-minutes in. Joe Kurczewski, set up by Kelly Rivet, notches his 8th of the season. Here’s the call:

Frans Erichsen charges the net, he shoots, Hocolate gets a piece of it, but the puck flies back into the zone, Kurczewski has it on his stick, he shoots, HE SCORES! ST. LOUIS TIES THE GAME.

Albert Williams: Quite the goal. Joe Kurczewski shows his tenacity, and gets St. Louis right back in the game. And then, Four-oh-five in the first, Halifax to the power play after Danny Foster gets called for high sticking. The story of this power play was all Kyle Wahlgren, playing lights out, blocking all shots….. Penalty killed by St. Louis.

Skipp Santos: Then, at 10:31, Jean-Luc Refliex lights the lamp, assisted by both Niklas Flower and Blake Battle.

Pass by Battle, Flower with the puck, he tries moving around the net, he passes to Reflieux, Reflieux with the one-timer, he SCORES!

Skipp Santos: And then it’s St. Louis to the powerplay. Toivo Kosonen called for hooking at the 14 minute mark. Kosonen, part of the Raiders’ penalty kill, really put them in a predicament -- and ended with a goal by St. Louis, once again tying the game.

Albert Williams: Yeah it was Eugene Feist with to make it 2-2. Targaryen and Akleson get the assist on this powerplay goal.

Cindy McNair: And we know, a tie-game, it’s a whole new game. The teams end the second with this score.

Skipp Santos: They enter the third, both wanting to score badly. Neither team takes the lead. Halifax comes out, seemingly frustrated. At least, Toivo Kosonen was -- sent to the sinbin for 4 minutes after being called for charging.

Albert Williams: Playing seemingly reckless. Last penalty by Kosonen resulted in a goal by St. Louis. They once again hoped to capitalize on Kosonen’s mistake.

Skipp Santos: That’s right, but they were unable to. Following that penalty kill, both teams eventually went onto other powerplays. The big Russian, Alexsander Komarov called for interference at 9:39 -- and Danny Foster, once again, to the sin bin, this time for slashing at 12:38.

Albert Williams:Neither team’s powerplay units were able to gain the lead. No goals were scored in the third, sending us to over time.

Cindy McNair: Overtime saw Halifax buckle down defensively, and take less risks. This saw a largely one-sided affair, as t. Louis outshot them 5-1. Both teams were able to outlast each other’s efforts and make it to the shootout.

Willy Mack is sent onto the ice, he goes first. St. Louis has the utmost confidence in him. Here he goes, comes in, deke to the left, and shoots...Hocolate with the big save!

Skipp Santos: It was Casper Jakobsson next, who’s attempt is stopped by Wahlgren. Eugene Feist was sent out next by St. Louis, but was stopped by Hocolate. This is when Isaac Kaiser was given the go by Halifax:

With the Halifax crowd cheering, the rookie Isaac Kaiser looks down across the rink at Wahlgren. Isaac begins carrying the puck, he hesitates then fires low, and it’s a goal! Isaac Kaiser goes five-hole and puts Halifax up in the shootout!

Albert Williams: Amazing patience by Kaiser, his hesitation tricked Wahlgren out, and notched them the goal that won the game. Casper Ek was sent out next, his shot missed the net.

Skipp Santos: And that wraps up tonight’s coverage by the SMJHL Netowrk.



Post-game Interview

RaidersTV has caught up with Isaac Kaiser after the game.

RaidersTV: Isaac, you were given first star tonight, quite the accomplishment, do you see this as a milestone for your career?

Isaac Kaiser: Yes, of course. My career first, 1st-star, I won’t forget tonight.

RaidersTV: What was the biggest factor in your stellar game?

Isaac Kaiser: Just playing with good people. Was on the line with Jakobsson and Volkova. I think that had a lot to do with it. Jakobsson has been amazing since coming here. Volkova is starting to fire up too.

RaidersTV: Grueling wins like tonight are necessary for a champion team, do you see Halifax being able to do this night in, night out?

Isaac Kaiser: Yeah, I think so. I mean, when playoffs come around, there’s going to be a lot of “manning up”. We play as a family, and we will all rise to the occasion. Regular season has been a little harsh, but don’t count us out. Tonight showed that we can pass the endurance test.

RaidersTV: Thank you, that’s all.

Three Stars

1st Star: None other than: Isaac Kaiser. Notching his 5th goal of the season during tonight’s first period, then coming up big in the shootout, Isaac Kaiser had the biggest impact on tonight’s game. The rookie got off to a cold start, but with games like tonight, SHL GM's are beginning to take notice to the name: Issac Kaiser.

Kaiser: 1G - +1 - 17:17 MP - Shootout Winner

2nd Star: Jean-Luc Reflieux. Call him ironman, playing a team high 23:23 minutes played. His loan goal helped make the game tilt in Halifax’s favor for a brief moment. His large number of minutes played allowed some of the other Raiders’ centers to rest. Shouldering their ice-time, he made sure Halifax was well rested.

Reflieux: 1G - +1 - FO:17/28 - 23:23 MP

3rd Star: Joe Kurczewski. With his team trailing, Kurczewski was the first to respond. His goal in the 2nd period breathed life into the Scarecrows. The previously inanimate Scarecrows were now in the game. Kurczewski played the best of all Scarecrows, thus earning the 3rd star of the night.

Kurczewski: 1G - 8 Shots - 21:12 MP

Game 111: Colorado Mammoths vs Kelowna Knights
Score: Colorado 1 - Kelowna 2

Game Link
The game was a hard fought battle between best and worst team in the league. The score remained close throughout the featuring only 2 goals, requiring a shoot out to determine the winner. Not only was it close, but the game got heated. There was a line brawl only 3 minutes into the game, which set the tone for the remained of the time. Ultimately, Kelowna came away with the 2 points in the end.

1st Period

The featured only one goal, which came only 3:18 into the game. The goal came 10 seconds after a line brawl which arose after an innocent looking hooking penalty from Adriana Starosta. This whole confrontation resulted in a 2 minute power play for the Mammoths, however they were not the ones that came out of the power play ahead.

Justs Sirmais, the Knights top scorer, pumped in the first goal while short handed. It came off of assists from Ty Justice and Kornel Kasparek. The goal came of a beautiful play by Justice, who made this goal possible. A faceoff in the Knights' end was won directly back to Kasparek. Kasparek made a break out pass the Justice, who was for some reason way out of position and rushing up the wing. Justice brought the puck down the wing, and bore down on the Mammoths defender. As he approached the Mammoths defender, Justice faked the shot and then put the puck through the deference's legs. He then took a glance up and saw Sirmais streaking in from the other side. Justice fed it to Sirmais for an easy tap in.


Justice's deke resulting in the shorthanded goal at 3:18 into the first


2nd Period

The second period also resulted in only one goal. This time it was for the Mammoths. This one was generated off of a great one man rush by Maverick O'Dooley. O'Dooley recovered the puck in the Mammoths end and rushed it all the way to the Knights' end. Right as he walked into the Knights' end he faked a slap shot. This got the defender to pinch, but O'Dooley made him look like a fool. O'Dooley snapped the puck back onto his blade and skated right around the tumbling defender. O'Dooley then ripped a wrist shot right over the glove of Jason Aitokallio to tie the game at 1-1.


O'Dooley's goal at 18:30 into the second period

3rd Period/Overtime

Both teams posted a clean slate in the 3rd period of the game, leading to overtime. The overtime, like the 3rd, was uneventful.

Shootout

Out of the five shooters that participated in the shootout only Sthirobokov could find the back of the net. Shirobokov came in straight on the net. He faked a shot then went to pull the puck to the left side of the net. However, he lost the puck. But, luckily for the Knights' it was completed unexpected for Rudnikova. The puck slid through her five hole and into the net to win the game 2-1 for the Knights


Shirobokov's shootout winner


Three Stars
3: Ekaterina Rudnikova: 96.8Sv%, 1GA
Rudnikova played a huge part in the game for the Mammoths. She stopped 30 out of 31 shots in the game and without her the would not have been in this game.

2: Jason Aittokallie: 96.4Sv%, 1GA
Aittokallio also had a huge game for the Knights stopping 27 of 28 shots. Similarly to Rudnikova the Knights would not have been able to win without this performance from Aittokallio. With the win Aittokallio earns himself second star.

1: Maverick O'Dooley: 1G, 3H, 3SB
O'Dooley had an all around fantastic game for the Mammoths. He was their entire offense tonight by scoring their lone goal. Not only was he playing well offensively, but he did a phenomenal job of shutting down the Knights on the defensive side of the puck. This earned him first star of the game.

<div align="center"> Prince George Firebirds VS <span style='color:blue'>Vancouver Whalers
</span>
4 VS 2

Game #71 Post-Game Show</div>


<div align="center">Summary of Game</div>

First Period

The first period of this game was all about Vancouver's domination of the ice... and unfortunately, their inability to produce much despite the control they exerted. The Whalers kept a feisty Firebirds squad shut-down to one shot on goal the entire twenty by playing a rough-and-tumble defense which simultaneously allowed for very little leeway in the neutral zone and barely any defensive turnovers in Vancouver's own zone. For every face off loss, the Whalers returned the favor with a hit; for every puck lost, the Whalers returned the favor with a blocked shot. The period wasn't all toil and no trouble, however -- the Whalers's rookie Levi Kubrak smacking one off the post and into the net past PGF's Ben Waters at 17:22. That was all the point production this period saw.

<div align="center"></div>


Second Period

The second period was a lesson in shredding the confidence of the net minder, courtesy of the Firebird's offense that came back out onto the ice for the second twenty with something to prove. Massive breakaway for Casper Jakobsson 00:17 into the period off a well-rebounded blocked Vancouver attempt executed by Johnny Pollak. Max Wehner had no chance at stopping it, not with how Jakobsson was moving on his skates or with how softly he was wheeling the puck. Like a crack in pond ice, Wehner's net minding went from faltering to all-out failing with three successive and successful attempts on net by Prince George. The fourth goal for PGF at 15:25 marked the entrance of old glove-hand Triforce Link into the game, and Wehner's banishment to the bench to think on his performance. Link patched-up the holes in the Vancouver wall, but Vancouver itself could not rally its spirits to respond to the big swinging punches leveled at them by Prince George this period.

<div align="center"></div>


Third Period

With the wind fully let out of Vancouver's sails, recouping from the near frantic pace of the second period wasn't hard for Prince George to accomplish in the 3rd. Ben Waters remaining a solid presence for most of the period, simply refusing to mishandle the puck much to the chagrin of VAN's forward lines. The Whalers' usual accuracy in the offensive zone noticeably absent, and combined with a number of petty minor penalties collected by the Big Blue made for a tough time equalizing for Vancouver. Repeat performance from the late period clutch team that brought Vancouver its first goal, Levi Kubrak and his defensive backup popping one past the otherwise infallible Firebirds' goaltender at 15:40. While satisfying, and netting Kubrak and company their second points of the game, it wasn't enough to resurrect Vancouver from the dead. Prince George walks away with the win at the 20 minute mark.

<div align="center"></div>

<div align="center">Five Stats Not to Brush Past</div>

• PGF's offensive dominance is astounding -- not only did they outshoot Vancouver 28 to 18, but their most damaging period -- the second -- that can best be characterized as a four-goal blow-out, was done during a period of even-effort shooting. 9 a piece for both teams, and Prince George produced on 4 of the 9 opportunities.
  
• For the three guys with more than 21 minutes of play time for the game in total, two of them have negative number in the +/- for Vancouver. PGF's top three minute players are all positive number in the +/-; that more than anything describes the difference in energy brought by both teams to the game.
  
• 100% on the penalty kill tonight for Prince George, against conference #2 and overall #4 powerplay unit manned by Vancouver. Not all that remarkable in and of itself, perhaps, but considering that the Firebirds are league worst in PK%, this was likely a huge contribution to their win tonight out on the ice.
  
• Max Wehner had a bad game by the numbers tonight -- as of the writing of this report, Wehner tends to average being on the receiving end of around 22 shots a game, of which he usually stops around 88%, and lets in an average of 2.95 GA. By the time Link was sent in to relieve him of his minding duties, Wehner had only faced about half of his average shots, let in 4 goals, and ended the game with a 0.692% SV. The Whalers offense seemed to be doing its job in terms of keeping control of the puck, and while the Whalers D came in at only 2 shots blocked this game, it’s consistent with the number of shots leveled at them by the Firebirds offense. Looks like Vancouver’s net minder needs a few days to work on his rebounds, seeing as though he allowed for poor rebounds around 40% of the time PGF’s shots made it near the crease.
  
• It’s worth noting that almost the entire playing roster of Vancouver walked away with a -1 or a -2 tonight. Very few positive +/- or 0s, noting that while certainly some of Vancouver’s concern should be channeled towards the net minding of the game, Prince George beat Vancouver as a team, not just in a battle of goalies.
  

<div align="center">Unsung Hero</div>

Prince George’s ubiquitous Hylytyr NoRetornable wins this distinction for this game for a stat spread and an ice presence that cannot be discounted in the Firebirds’ winning efforts tonight; 2 points, a +2 plus-minus, 4 minutes in the sin bin for attempts at aggressively shutting down some of Vancouver’s more notorious chirpers, and 3 shots on goal, putting his shooting efforts at even with the indomitable Casper Jakobsson, who won first star of the game. You may not be returnable, kid, but I doubt the Firebirds are sweating over your receipt.

<u><div align="center">Period 1</div></u>

The game started off with Casper Jakobsson won the opening face-off against Zach Zyveleski. Within the first 30 seconds of the game Ben Waters faced 3 shots but with none of them really giving them problems. At about the 2 minute mark Tyrone Savage committed a nasty hooking penalty and Laraque Obama attempted to make him answer the call but it wasn't happening so he was called for roughing. 12 minutes into the game the first goal was scored by Joseph Riccardelli after he dangled the Montreal team left and right and put the puck off the net into the net past Stephen Harris. Toms Shnekinsen was called for tripping in the 14 minute of the game which lead to Wesley Wells scoring from the point on the power play just as the one man advantage was about to come to an end. Montreal's second goal of the period and their last of regular time from Nolan Angello after some lovely passing play from Ryan Vas and Zach Zyveleski.

<u><div align="center">Period 2</div></u>

Prince George won the opening face-off of the second period. About four minutes in the real action of the period began with Montreal taking 6 shots in quick succession but with rookie goaltender Ben Waters in good form none of them were able to find the net. Berard Gutler closed the scoring of regular time by taking a strong wrist shot which flew past the stick of Montreal goaltender Stephen Harris and into the net behind him when 8 minutes of the clock had gone. Montreal conceded a number of penalties in this period with Zach Zyveleski being pulled up for hooking, Nolan Angello for hooking and Brock Bailey for tripping though thanks to a strong penalty killing unit Prince George were unable to convert on any of their man advantages.

<u><div align="center">Period 3</div></u>

Honestly there wasn't much action taking place in the third period of the game and none of the fans who left during the period to restock on refreshments can be blamed for doing so. The "action" of the third period began with Prince George winning yet another face-off after Jakubsson beat Granlund to the puck. Prince George had 4 shots this period and they all took place around the 10 minute mark with Harris having to save 2 of them thanks to some expert blocking by Brock Bailey and the other missing the net by a mile. With the score equal after the third period the game went to overtime.

<u><div align="center"> Overtime </div></u>

The opening face-off was won by Filip Granlund. Half a minute into overtime the first shot was taken by Granund who was blocked by Casper Jakobsson. After a face-off in the Prince George zone was won by the Firebirds, Montreal regained control of the puck briefly after a big open ice hit by Jaylor Toast on Tapper Kottbulle who had just received a pass. Zach Zyveleski was the next person to take a shot 1 minute into the overtime period but was that was stopped by the skate of Ben Waters. 3 minues in Cleo Green took an awful show which went skywards over the head and the net of the Firebirds goalie. A minute later Cleo Green would have his chance to redeem himself but while this shot was on target, it was stopped from going in by the glove of Ben Waters. At 4:38 exactly Nolan Angello took a big slapshot which bounced off the rear end of Barak Obrana and the puck then skidded along the ice to the stick of Viatcheslav Orlov who then fired the puck home into the net with the game winning goal.


The Montreal Players celebrate the game winning goal.

ON THIS MORNING’S BROADCAST:

Game 58 of Season 30 the SMJHL....

Kelowna Knights VS Halifax Raiders

2 VS 1</div>

COOTER: You know, I think the continued shitty juju from last night’s game had an effect on my morning routine.
BARTON: Why?
COOTER: You know how I can’t drink Splenda right, because --
BARTON: -- yeah, hives, the whole not-breathing thing, you’re allergic.
COOTER: Yeah, exactly. And well, it’s not like Splenda packets even remotely look like Sweet’N Low, one’s yellow, the other’s pink, plus the branding of Sweet’N Low is so busy, the name just doesn’t even look like any of the other sweeteners, right --
BARTON: Oh my god, is this why you were late? This is why you were late. Did you go to the hospital?
COOTER: So, right, ok, I go to my usual Timmy’s, and Janice -- nice girl, by the way, really a sweetheart, but -- Janice, the girl who works the drive through, she has a brother that plays for Kelowna.
BARTON: [laughing] Your Tim Horton’s gal poisoned you?
COOTER: And she and I have had words before, she listens to the show sometimes, right? So she knows I have a soft-spot where the Raiders are concerned, but she’s always very polite, very convivial, makes jokes about how it would be unfair to criticize the Raiders in front of me when their 7th place in the league does the job for them -- nothing mean, nothing nasty --
BARTON: Using the wrong sweetener and causing you to blow up like a marshmallow is pretty nasty, bro.
COOTER: And somehow, this morning, Janice puts two Splendas into my latte instead of two Sweet’N Lows.
BARTON: Trying to kill you is just adding insult to injury after the game last night, to be honest though.
COOTER: Fortunately, they have an epi-pen in the first aid kit at Timmy’s, and with a very embarassed and hastily apologizing Janice’s help, no hospital trip was needed in the end.
BARTON: Good job almost ending and then saving Coots’ life, though, Janice. It’d be a different radio show without him.
COOTER: And I now get free coffee at Timmy’s for the next year, so maybe in the long-run, it’s a win-win.
BARTON: Yeah, you know, all you had to do was almost die to get free coffee.
COOTER: Not really that big of a sacrifice when you think about it.
BARTON: Nah, what’s a life when weighed against free coffee?

COOTER: But at any rate, I digress. How about them Knights last night?
BARTON: Woof! Big guns turn out against a surly and scrappy defense-centered Halifax team -- Knights outshot the Raiders 24 to 16!
COOTER: And it paid off -- Kelowna took the game home with a one-two punch, one goal apiece in the first and second periods, Halifax’s attempted recovery in the third period only netting them a lone goal in return.
BARTON: Wanna take a look at them goals?
COOTER: Yeah, sure -- let’s do it. For those of you tuning in to our broadcast online, there will be video replays to accompany the commentator rebroadcasts, just go to our website at www-dot-WFAN-dot-org forwardslash Coots and Barts, all one word.
BARTON: Let’s take a look at the first period, now, this one from aggressive Kelowna defensewoman Cara Hohenberg:

<div align="center">

Late shift puck dump by Laing, although the Raiders are being slow to chase it down the ice; easy control now for the Knights, Justice with the grab, quick snap to Wilson early in the neutral zone who saucers it to Hohenberg along the boards for what looks like it might be a breakout, and yes -- coming down the left lane, she’s got no one on top of her in her corner at all, Lindstrom and Iversen are trying to catch up with her, but you can tell they’re tired, and oh -- Hohenberg over the blue line now, not a defender in sight, Pel coming out of the crease to try and glare Hoheberg down -- who dekes, faking out Pel on the fivehole and around Pel’s right pad, goal! What a monster of a break-away goal, Cara Hohenberg folks --

</div>

BARTON: I’m surprised Pel wasn’t called for the trip there --
COOTER: You’ve got to be kidding me, she clearly wasn’t trying to slew foot Hohenberg, she was trying to stop the damn puck.
BARTON: Yeah, but goalies sometimes get away with really aggressive behavior outside the crease supposedly in the name of puck control; Pel knew she was beaten, why didn’t she just --
COOTER: Let the puck go in?
BARTON: Well -- yeah.
COOTER: Gee, Barts, I have no idea.
BARTON: I can tell you’re being sarcastic.
COOTER: What was your first clue?
BARTON: … yeah, anyway, up next, mid-period banger for Alex Light, once again assisted by the wonder twins Justice and Wilson, to rack up game winner number two for the Knights in the second period:

<div align="center">

-- and the shots keep raining down from Kelowna, Bent with a slapshot stopped bodily by Kosonen, the rebound of which picked up by Bent and shot again but heartbreak as that one goes well-wide of the net, picked up easily by Justice along the boards who beats a sluggish-looking Banning to the biscuit here now and roofs it -- just a little too high to connect to anything but the backboards. Wilson comes around the back of the net, Pel not coming out to challenge, smartly, with this much traffic, and slows down the movement, here letting Kelowna set-up. Backhanded no-look saucer off the boards, angling it to a gap in the ice where Wilson himself goes to try and shoot it, but it flies poorly glancing off the bucket of forward Alex Light, who looks a little annoyed, but not stunned here. Kelowna literally skating circles around Halifax in their own zone, but this is turning into a comedy of errors here as once again, Wilson beats Kosonen and Banning to the puck, this time with a shot that Light is screening for and oh! Off the stick of Light into the net! Knights finally produce! Try try again, and goal Kelowna! How about that?

</div>

BARTON: That was some gummed up shooting, though.
COOTER: Yeah, no kidding. I’m a bit shocked the Knights managed anything at all in the seventh minute there, considering how exhaustive their shooting efforts had been at that point; it was a long shift for both lines.
BARTON: I think Kelowna takes a total of 7 shots in that second period there --
COOTER: Ah, jeeze, then the minute or so leading up to that goal accounts for, what, five? Six? Of them?
BARTON: Like a terrier with a rat, eh?
COOTER: No kidding. Kelowna’s overall possession that period is comparatively abysmal but they grind the hell out of that puck once they get it. That’s some truly impressive endurance for juniors players, SMJHL or otherwise.
BARTON: How about that last goal for Halifax, though?
COOTER: True, Halifax do manage to return fire in the third, despite undershooting the Knights by one, with what winds up as an incredibly late-period powerplay goal by wonderwoman Reed Laing with 34 seconds left on the clock. Take a look and listen:

<div align="center">

-- unlikely they’ll produce two off such a late powerplay, but Azarov sure seems to have Bergfalk’s number if that pleasant exchange and shoving of Azarov ass-over-elbows back into his own bench is anything to judge by. Bergfalk still seems steamed sitting in the sin bin with his two for roughing here at the start of the 19th minute, and boy are the Raiders giving him reason to be right now -- Laing beats Sirmais to the puck now on the face-off in Halifax’s offensive zone, and snapping it backwards into the waiting stick of of Blake Battle; Battle shoots -- whip-crack wrister that dings off the far post much to Aitto’s relief, I imagine, that shot was unbelievably fast, and Laing now, pushing out across the ice to challenge for the puck. Laing with possession in the slot, can she make something of it? Traveling across the ice now, no shot -- but a spinorama deke that slips her right past Hohenberg now, sliding up the left slot, and oh, what a beauty, goal for Halifax! High blocker side goal for Laing, and while this may have been a frustrating game for her team, that goal was reel-worthy.

</div>

COOTER: Well?
BARTON: Yeah, I got nothing. That goal was sexy as hell.
COOTER: Reed Laing.
BARTON: Halifax doesn’t deserve her.
COOTER: She honestly wouldn’t be doing as well, I think, on a team that might otherwise smother her efficacy, though -- Laing on a team like Detroit or St. Louis wouldn’t be the Laing that’s made the kind of progress she has this year.
BARTON: Lady Laing might be the shining beacon in Halifax’s harbor this year, buddy, but come the impending SHL draft, you know she’s gone, right? Probably 3rd or 4th line starter.
COOTER: Yeah, well. We’ll deal with it next season, buddy.
BARTON: Speaking of, is it unsung heroes time?
COOTER: Yep, then commercial break.

BARTON: Alright, so I’m gonna start off our Unsung Heros of Game 58 here with a little bit of the deeper magic that helped fuel Kelowna to victory tonight. I’m gonna spotlight Dieter Dominique here for a minute.
COOTER: Wait, really? Why?
BARTON: Well, this was a close and pretty shut-down game. The one thing that Kelowna really ran Halifax into the ground with was possession and zone control, and there’s nothing more key to that, to be honest, than face-off dominance. Dominique fended off 72% of potential face-off turn-overs, winning 13 out of 18 face-offs in his nearly 25 minutes on the ice tonight. He might walk away with a plus-minus of 0, granted, but his contribution to the onslaught of shots in Halifax’s zone was matched only by Sirmais -- and beaten by no one on his team -- is also nothing to sniff at either. So here’s to you, Double D, unsung hero of the Knights last night.

COOTER: I’m gonna go with Georgette Pel, actually.
BARTON: Oh, come on.
COOTER: She faced almost twice as many shots as the tending prodigy Jason Aittokallio, it’s only her fifth start, and of the 24 shots she faced, she only let in two, leaving her with a saves percentage of 92%. 8 of those shots had rebounds, all of them well-controlled as none of them resulted in directly after. She has half the experience of Aittokallio, but put up almost exactly as masterful a game despite facing double the fire. Say what you will about Halifax’s up-and-coming starter, but for a free agency scoop, she’s doing pretty alright in my book, last night better than most despite the loss.
BARTON: I’m not sure someone counts as an unsung hero of your argument is basically that them only sucking a little bit, versus sucking a lot, is noteworthy.
COOTER: That’s actually not my argument, man.
BARTON: Yeah?
COOTER: My argument is that a goalie isn’t made or broken by a loss, and her numbers were almost identical to those of an objectively better goalie. If she keeps that up, especially since she’s proven she can do it against the league leader, Halifax might just be a sleeper contender for the 4 Star Cup yet, regardless of whether or not they have the almighty Dick C. Hocolate down from Calgary on loan.
BARTON: You are, of course, entitled to your opinion.
COOTER: Screw you, buddy.
BARTON: And with that, we’ll see you all after the break, where we’ll be answering your Twitter questions and taking a few calls. Stay tuned!

<div align="center">Game 101</div>
<div align="center">Period 1</div>
Eugene Feist face off king of the S30 SMJHL season opened the night off with a clean win against Falcons center Nicky Toohoots. Feist went on to win twelve of fifteen draws on the night and registered one goal in 15:00 minuets played. Feist's effort on the dot was not enough to save the Scarecrows from Hans Moleman and the Falcons offense which scored three times in the opening five minuets.

At 0:29 into the game Moleman's first shot beat Scarecrows goaltender Kyle Whalgren who faced 15 shots in the first period alone. A neutral zone turnover from Casper Ek setup assists for Prince Daniel James and Jari Sinikka. Both players played just over 20:00 minuets and recorded two and three points respectively.

At 1:55 St. Loius defenseman Nick Celej turned the puck over at the Falcons blue line and was called for hooking Cikgnar Konstantinov down on the break away. Twenty seconds later Moleman scored again with the same two players James and Sinikka assisting on the power play.

Detroit kept the pace up and scored once more in the period. Rookie Zach Evans one of the premiere players available in the S31 SHL draft scored his 8th of the season assisted by Cikgnar Konstantinov, and Henrik Vikstrom at 4:59. Willy Mack made a stellar effort on the play blocking two shots before Evans found a hole to add to the Falcons lead.

The end of the period saw Chadathy Brodangleschlong take two back to back penalties which the Scarecrows failed to get more than a single shot off during the four minuets on the man advantage.

<div align="center">Period 2</div>
The fans in Detroit didn't have to wait long in the second for the home to add to their lead. 4:47 into the period Henrik Vikstrom tallied his seventh on the season with assists from Cikgnar Konstantinov, and Jari Sinikka each putting up their third point of the game on the play.

Kyle Whalgren faced fourteen shots in the period with only Vikstrom beating him through the second.

Eugene Feist a fucking beat of a prospect scored his ninth on the season at 6:40. Danny Foster who had TWELVE hits in the game knocked the shit out of Erik Muller and fed Casper Ek in the slot for a one timer that Falcon goaltender Sivy McSieve couldn't control. Feist picked up the rebound with half an empty net in front of him and sparked life into the Crows.

Under two minuets later at 8:17 Casper Ek scored off a redirected shot by Nate Akeson. With Nick Celej making a huge diving play at the blue line to keep the play onside Akeson was able to hammer a shot off Ek's skate that found McSieve's five hole.

Scott Escobar wasted nobodies time coming right back at the Falcons 14 seconds later scoring on Mcsieves gaping fucking five hole again on a long shot out wide from above the circles. DarryL Landry and Kelly Rivet synced up with Escobar for his second goal of the year. Rivet added to his fantastic season for the Scarecrows on the blue line. With over double the assists of the next player on the team (Landry) Rivet has proven himself a badass hooodiiehoooo.

Unfortunately for Whalgren and the Scarecrows the goals did not keep coming, and the team just played on in frustration mostly just watching Danny Foster take runs at Hans Moleman every time he stepped on the ice.

<div align="center">Period 3</div>
The third saw almost half of the fans leave the game halfway through the period. Scarecrows net minder Kyle Whalgren saved seven of the eight shots on goal. Only eleven shots were taken in the period between the two teams.

Penalties to St. Louis players Danny Foster 4:55 and Casper Ek 7:73 were both killed with ease by the Crows. With Detroit only taking one shot through both attempts.

Cikgnar Konstantinov added one moreat 16:42 to the Falcons lead to end the night for the Scarecrows. Zach Evans and Alexis Metzler assisted on the goal- the two Falcons rookies have put together strong performances all season for Detroit and are making a quite the case for an SHL team to drop a 1st round pick on them.
<div align="center">Three Stars</div>
1 - Cikgnar Konstantinov (DET)
In just 14:55 played Konstantinov scored once on two shots and had two assists to along with his 8/17 performance on the face off dot. Cikgnar didn't get any special teams time and really made the Crows pay 5v5 all night long.
2 - Zach Evans (DET)
This sexy rookie had a goal and one assist through 14:48 minuets. He had plenty of time to take six shots with a short stint on the power play in the second period.
3 - Hans Moleman (DET)
God damn Moleman. Playing a lofty 24:10 minuets Hans scored twice early to set the tone for the Falcons. The night saw a fuck ton of SOG for Detroit- Moleman added five to the 37 total shots.

S30: A Look Back is all up in it, with the 5th and final episode of the year. We're going to be covering a game which didn't go the Whaler's way, and we're going to get some insight from a player on what went wrong, which will really be a treat. Thanks for tuning in, and here's Game 188, the penultimate regular season match up between Vancouver and Halifax.

Regular Season History
This had been a regular season opponent whom Vancouver had fared very well against, posting a 4-0 record going into the game, and having had beat them at home in their only visit to Vancouver's arena. They'd outscored them 16-9, had success on special teams, and been on virtually equal footing from a physicality standpoint. All in all, Vancouver had to be pretty confident coming into the game. However... confidence can sometimes breed complacency, and that may have taken hold tonight:

<center> Halifax Raiders 2 at Vancouver Whalers 0</center>

Highlights

The first period was one which went back and forth between the teams, with no one able to break through. Both teams had an opportunity on the power play, but neither was able to come away successful, something that could probably be counted on as a win for Halifax, as they are the less prolific team on special teams. There were a fair number of shots for the Raiders with 13 to Vancouver's 7. Despite the lack of scoring, it seemed that things were leaning the Raiders' way ever so slightly.

The second period saw a real uptick in intensity, as Ieuan Llewellyn picked up a hooking call within 2 minutes of the period starting. In the 8th minute it was Pietra Volkova returning a power play opportunity back to Vancouver on a tripping penalty. Yet again, the teams exchanged PP efforts, but neither could break through. It wasn't until Llewellyn took things to another level, that Halifax could muster a scoring play...

<center>Period 2, 10:51 Penalty on VAN - Double Minor

In an effort to spark his team, Ieuan Llewellyn demolishes Isaac Kaiser, earning a double minor for his ferocity</center>
Putting Halifax on the power play for 4 minutes was really the first miscue for for Vancouver. Despite having killed both penalties up to that point, a double minor puts that much more stress on the PK team and the goal tender. Unable to sustain their level of play on the PK, Vancouver finally conceded..

<center> Period 2, 11:30 Goal by HAL

Halifax were finally able to break through on the PP to put themselves on the board, thanks to great awareness from Blake Battle- the real highlight though, was Reed Lang's inability to celebrate without taking out a ref. #CelebrationFail</center>
In a lovely display of power play work, Halifax was able to penetrate the Vancouver zone, then get off 3 crisp passes amongst one another to set up a shot from the high slot by Reed Laing. While his shot went wide, it was Blake Battle who collected the loose puck, and went straight in on net with it, beating Triforce Link low to the glove side, for their first goal of the night. In a bit of a classic Halifax moment, Reed Lang took out a ref on the ensuing celebration... which is pretty much a microcosm of the Raider's season to date.

With only 17 shots between both teams in the second period, that first goal seemed as though it could be pivotal in a game which was clearly turning into a real grinder... Halifax managed to put more distance between themselves and Vancouver early in the 3rd period.

<center> Period 3, 3:31 Goal by HAL

The inability of Vancouver's defense to corral the puck after a shot proved to be their downfall in this game, with a second rebound goal putting the game out of reach</center>
The Raider's second goal came in 5 on 5 play, yet again immediately after a primary shot. This time Triforce Link was able to get a pad on the shot (rather than it going wide), but he couldn't control the rebound, and it ended up on the stick of Jean-Luc Reflieux... who made good on a wide open opportunity.

Player Segment
We've got Alternate Captain Conklin Owen with us on the line, to get some of his thoughts on the game...

Conklin, thanks for taking the time to chat with us... It seemed you guys came out flat against a team you'd had a fair amount of success against.

CO: It was really just a disappointing game as a whole. We'd had a rest day prior to this game- which came after back to back games beforehand, so we should have been well rested going in. Maybe guys just got a little too relaxed on our off day, but whatever it was, we were not at full speed from the get go.

That seemed pretty apparent, you guys drew a lot of penalties, yourself included, was heavy skates part of that?

CO: Yeah, it definitely was. When you don't do the work with your skates, guys tend to use their bodies or their sticks, and the only thing that does is draw penalties. At the same time, we're professionals here, and we should be able to overcome that with a fair measure of discipline. Obviously we weren't focused in this game, because we took way more penalties than we should have. I was part of it, too... and despite the fact that no goal came of my penalty- that's still 2 minutes we spent on our heels instead of attacking.

You had a pretty quiet night yourself, only 2 shots, 1 hit, and 1 of 2 in the faceoff circle. That's very quiet for almost 5 minutes on the power play.

CO: I think it'd be unfair not to give Halifax some credit on this one, at least to a degree. They played us tough on the PK, and really put a wrench in our plans when it came to setting up in the zone on the power play. But ultimately, as tough as they played, we've got to capitalize when we've got the upper hand. I was pretty pissed at myself playing almost one third of my total minutes on the power play and coming away empty handed. It was just a frustrating night, man. Sometimes those happen... you end up beating yourself more so than the other team beats you.

That's true, you can't win 'em all, as they say, and with you guys finishing 2nd overall in the standings, I guess you can't be too upset.

CO: Right, right. The next game we gave our fans what they were looking for, with that 10-3 obliteration a few nights later. I had a trick in that game, with 3 assists to go along with it, so I feel like we more than bounced back. We ended up 5-1 against them on the season, and I had my best game ever against them, so yeah... I'm not too mad about it- which is why I agreed to take this call, haha.

Well we of course appreciate that. Good luck to you and the team in the playoffs, we're looking forward to it.

CO: Me too, I can't wait. I'm really hoping me and JR can make our mark on this team, and go out on top. It's kind of a bitter sweet moment, ending my SMJHL career... but I'm still excited to get into it and make some noise. Have a good one, guys.

<div align="center">Game #107
Prince George Firebirds @ <span style='color:maroon'>Montreal Militia
Game Link</div>

<div align="center">Story of the Game</div></span>
Pregame: Open - We're coming to you live here at the former Point of Impact to bring you the next game in the series between your Prince George Firebirds and the Montreal Militia. Montreal seems to be riding high on this last 10 with a 7-1-2 record. Prince George is riding high matching them in points with a 6-0-4 record in the last ten.

This will be the 2nd game between the two this season as a part of a home-and-away series for the Firebirds, coming off of a loss at home last night in a 3-2 overtime decision by Viatcheslav Orlov of the Militia. Let's turn it over and check out what the PGF Keys to the game are!

Pregame: Keys to the Game - Coming to you hot are this week's keys of the game. Last night there were a few mistakes that the Firebirds can capitalize on.

• Lock Down that First Line: The militia 's top line run all over Ben Waters and the Firebirds in the last game. 10 shots from a single line accounting for almost half of the shots on goal is unacceptable. Lines have good nights, now it's time to make sure they have a bad night to follow.
  
• Your Stars Have to Score: Jakobbson has to step up for sure, he wasn't the presence he should be in the last game. If he wants to get called up or lead this team through the playoffs then he has to change this momentum that is slowing him down from the last few games.
  
• Young Guys Need to Be Accountable Too: Prince George is full of young rookies that are getting ther first bunches of ice time in the SMJHL this season, but that is no reason to forget them .Levi Watkins need to step up scoring, Boone needs to become more defensively responsible, all of them need to find their place and step up into it.
  

Game: Lineup - The teams are coming together for the opening face off and we have the same lines as the last night. Prince George with their regulars of Wolf, NoRetornable, and Jakobsson with Monkey and Pollak set to defend Waters in net.

The Militia show up with the same lines as well, center, Zyvleski, and wings, Angello and Maciel, Maatta and Orlov look to protect Harris in net and shut down Prince George. The puck is dropped and let's get this game underway.

<div align="center"></div>

Post-Game: Firebird Gifs of the Game - In this game, the Firebirds BARELY scraped by after their dominant first period. Ben Waters really saved them in this one and Harris just narrowly let it go. dominant, even though the score of the game doesn't necessarily indicate that. We're going to look at the following highlights to see what they did well and what they should take forward.

<div align="center"></div>
Our first highlight comes to us per the poor pickups that plagued Montreal all game. Their defense just could not keep up with all the Prince George players.

...A couple of breakout passes from the defense as Prince George regains possession. Both teams heading off for their first line changes of the night. the Militia defensemen seem to be having a hard time handling the fresh Firebirds. A play from below the net, to the sideboards and a quick flip to the Front Of The Net..TO A WAITING SHNEKINSEN. A quick strike in this first few minutes of the game to make it 1-0 PGF!

<div align="center"></div>
Our 2nd highlight of the night come to us by way of another defensive miscue by the Militia. Tonight they just did not pick up their men and were no help to their goalie with a quality screen they probably wish happened at the other end of the ice.

Some good board play on this possession for the Firebirds, they are pressing for a 3rd goal this period, Watkins, Selich, and Hertzberg are the forwards on the ice for Prince George, after a partial line change. Some more cycling, some quick passes around and a bit of pushing from Watkins in the front to put some pressure on the goalie. Another set of passes from the boards and. OH SELICH COME DOWN FROM THE BLIE LINE LIKE A BAT OUT OF HELL TO PUT A SHOT ON GOAL. LEVI DIPS DOWN. MONTREAL IS SCREENING THEIR OWN GOALIE. IT'S IN! Eduard Selich for the 3rd goal of the night for Prince George!

<div align="center"></div>
The final highlight is one that might be reconsidered upon further examination. Harris is having a barrage put forth in front of him and (possibly) lets in the game winning goal.

Midway through the 2nd here and it is 3-2 Prince George. Prince George has been holding their own for the last few minutes putting the pressure on Harris in the Militia net. Pollak goes D-to-D along the blue line. Received well by Monkey. Monkey Lines Up a Shot With NoRetornable In Front Causing A Screen. Shot! REBOUND! NoRetornable Flips It Back For Another Shot. HARRIS IS DESPERATE! HE FLOPS OVER AND GLOVES IT DOWN! WAIT! THE REF SIGNALS IT'S IN! 4-2 PGF as Harris gives an earful to the ref. Let's look at that replay! Oooohhhh, that's more than close. But Prince George will take it.

Post-Game: Wrap Up/3 Stars - Another win for the Firebirds, keeping their last 10 game wins at 6-0-4, making them to a respectable 16-6-5 over the season. Let's take a look at the three stars of the game to see how it shakes down.

• 3rd Star: Casper Jacobsson - 1G, 4 S, 50% FO - The team-leading scorer held his own and added another goal to his tally sheet to lift the Firebirds to a 2-0 lead early that would slowly drain over the game leading to our next star...
  
• 2nd Star: Hylytyr NoRetornable - 2P (1 G, 1 A), 5 S - NoRetornable reigns as the 2nd star tonight by scoring the game-winning goal and putting up a solid bunch of shots (one of which would lead to an assist). But he is out classes by the hometown hero...
  
• 1st Star: Brennan Kennedy - 2P (1 G, 1 A), 10 MP - Working off of the 3rd line Kennedy and his linemates produced tonight and just steals the player of the game from Hylytyr NoRetornable as the hometown favorite being their greatest source of production tonight.

GAME LINK

Ekaterina Rudnikova outplayed the Raiders goalie Georgette Pel to secure a Mammoth win!



Interview with Maverick O'Dooley
What are your thoughts on this one tonight?
“It’s two points that we wanted here tonight. We got two big points yesterday and another two today.”

Do you like the improvements made by the defense?
“I think we’re playing a little tighter.”

Did you like to see the defensemen getting active offensively?
“We've got big players and we’re good when the D are involved. We have defensemen who jump up in the play and be really active.”

Is delivering the puck to net the biggest difference in the power plays success in the last couple weeks?
“Yeah, I think so. But we also have had a little puck luck, too. When we went through that tough stretch, we tried to throw pucks in there but they got the rebounds. Now we’re getting rebounds. It’s nice to see and hopefully, it continues.”

Post Game Analysis
A couple things the Mammoths did were impressive. First the result. Second I thought they did a good job in their start. I thought their second period was good. I liked the fact that we made it a one-goal cushion in the third. No mistakes late and still win the hockey game. Hopefully they can keep it up this year. But I thought they did a good job of that tonight. I thought Rudnikova looked really solid. I thought she looked in control of herself. I thought she made saves at times look easy. Her rebound control was good. When there were rebounds she was in the cage to battle for pucks. So I thought she did a real good job.

Game 187: St. Louis Scarecrows (25-15-6) @ Montreal Militia (21-21-4)
Game Link</div>

<div align="justify">MONTREAL, QUEBEC - The final game of the series between two Eastern Conference foes had its home here in Montreal, with the home fans roaring to life and wanting revenge for the immediate game prior. St. Louis sunk the dagger in Montreal's heart on their home ice with an overtime goal by Joe Kurczewski, and the fans were looking for revenge. Luckily, Nathan Russett potted his 11th goal of the season to get things started early with the man advantage, and just like that, Montreal was on its way. The rest of the 1st period was dominated by Scarecrow penalties and one bad delay of game penalty by captain Ilmari Maatta, and it ended 1-0.</div>

<div align="center">
Russett's deflection passed Kyle Wahlgren for the goal </div>

<div align="justify">The second was filled with boos from the home crowd, as 4 penalties were taken by the boys of maroon in this rivalry game. The savior of the Arch Kurczewski took one for St. Louis at the same time as Maatta, and neither team set up the powerplay like Russett's deflection to make things happen. 15 shots on net on the man advantage led to zero goals, an atrocious showing by both the hometown heroes and the hated rivals. It seemed doomed to be a scrapfest that ended in a 1-0 shutout, but never fear. The 3rd period is here.</div>

<div align="center">
Wahlgren makes a great glove save off Jason Forbrook's laser shot from the wing</div>

<div align="justify">Finally, there were goals. Wesley Wells lit up Wahlgren with a deflection off a Nolan Angello snap shot to start things off 2-0 for the Militia headed into the 45th minute of the tilt, and there was a comeback. The Scarecrows, looking to win the series between themselves and the enemy, brought back 2 pucks tingling the twine courtesy of Bill Cirocco and Nate Akeson and suddenly, with less than 5 minutes to go in the game, everyone in Montreal was where they were not an hour ago - a tie game.</div>

<div align="center">
Jason Forbrook gets one up on Wahlgren to start the goal frenzy</div>

<div align="justify">Jason Forbrook took charge as a veteran on the team and knocked in a goal thanks to some passing in front of the net to take the lead, but Big Joe had to pull the Scarecrows back to a tie with around 2 minutes left to go. A beautiful 2 minute drill commenced, and it didn't take long for the rookie Marcos Maciel to wrangle an errant shot from behind the net and put one past Wahlgren's leg pad for the game winner. Thus, the game ended the series as a tie, both teams going 4-3-1 against the other.</div>

<div align="center">Stat of the Night: Special Teams Scoring</div>

- 7 powerplays, 16 shots, 9 shots on goal (56.25%), 0 goals (0.00%)
- 4 powerplays, 6 shots, 4 shots on goal (66.67%), 1 goal (25%)

This was the tipping point of the game, seeing as Montreal only won by one goal. Russett's goal in the 1st, while not the game-winner, was the only one that was unique. His powerplay deflection goal the only one scored of 13 shots that actually made it to the net or was blocked by a defender. The Scarecrows had almost twice the opportunities and produced over twice the amount of shots and shots on goal, but had zero to show for it. These raw values don't tell the whole story, however, as Montreal had the more effective powerplay, shooting more accurately with a higher shots on goal percentage and netting the deflection goal. Needless to say, there's nothing else to this game that is more decisive than the powerplay, as Montreal's man advantage was a true advantage and the Scarecrows would have been happier playing 5 on 5 the whole game.

The Knights peppered rookie Scarecrow goaltender Kyle Wahlgren to secure the win!



Interview with Jason Aittokallio
How big was this game for you?
"It was great but the guys played a tremendous game in front of me. All night long they battled hard in front, they didn't really allow them to establish net presence and it made my night relatively easy for me."

You guys talked about starting on time, what did getting the first goal mean to you?
"It's huge. I thought we did get started on time tonight, right from the drop of the puck in the first period. I thought we controlled the play in their end and we didn't give them anything. It's great to see. There wasn't really a lot of flash out there tonight. Boring hockey's playoff hockey."

What aspect of your game are you most pleased with tonight?
"Just competing. Like I said, the guys in front of me did a tremendous job and they deserve all the credit."

Was something said after the last couple of games?
"Captain. D, he leads by example. He leads on and off the ice. Tonight I thought he played -- he always plays a great game for us -- but tonight I thought he was extra special for us. We're going to need that down the stretch here."

Post Game Analysis
Kelowna Captain Dieter Dominique is a great leader. That’s what I’ve said all year long, the knights have a lot of winners in the locker room and he’s at the top of that list. … What I do know is that he’s a great leader and he does it first by example. Talk is cheap lots and he does it by example first and when he does talk it means a lot and I’m sure it meant a lot to the rest of the team. How important was it to score first? You always want to score first, you can’t necessarily control that but you always want to score first. You look around the league and the team that scores first generally wins more than not. Momentum is a big thing. When you score you can build momentum, if you get scored on you can lose momentum. I think the bigger factor is what the Knights can control is how they play for 60 minutes. The knights just need to continue to focus on playing as well as they can as hard as they can for 60 minutes.

Halifax Raiders vs. Vancouver Whalers
2 - 0




Goal Recap/PBP

Code:

1. Halifax Raiders , Blake Battle 11 (Reed Laing, Jean-Luc Reflieux) at 11:30 (PP)

Laflamme: The penalties have been going back an forth, each team being a tad bit too aggressive in my opinion. The Whalers have put an emphasis on physical play but I think it may come back to bite them if they are not careful. But I have to say that it can definitely be useful in the playoffs to wear the opposing team down. Ieuan Llewellyn sent to the box on a double minor for roughing, quite the mistake there! You honestly need to keep your cool and now Halifax has a chance to score. Carl Farris with the puck ... Dumped in for a line change ... Blake Battle scoops up the puck ... To Reflieux up the ice ... Down to trade deadline acquisition Jakobsson .... Off to Banning! Cycle to Reflieux ... Reed ... MISSES! Battle with the puck off the side ... IT'S IN! IT'S IN! That's a 1-0 lead for Halifax! Blake has been amazing all season long, first class.

Code:

2. Halifax Raiders , Jean-Luc Reflieux 11 (Colin Banning, Blake Battle) at 3:31

Laflamme: A promising play for the Whaler--- Farris with the fancy dekes but slips and loses the puck! Battle to Banning ... Quick strikes from the defender as he closes in .. Off on net! What strength! Links with the save but is unable to control it ... The puck is in play still! Reflieux jumps on the loose puck, tips it in towards the net and another one! That's his 11th goal on the season, Halifax up 2-0! Whalers coach has to be questioning Farris on that play ... What was he thinking?!


Interview with Raiders' Isaac Kaiser

1) Halifax may have shut Vancouver down, but they were only 1 for 7 on the PP. Is there anything you would change to make the PP better?
"Uh yeah, well we just gotta grind through and get more bodies in front and have better shots on the net. Y'know we were passing way too much out there so we can try to cut down the amount of passing and just jump on those high percentage plays."

2) Your team has been using you only on the second line and nowhere else, do you believe you deserve more ice-time?
"Um, obviously I'm a team player so I'm okay with what the coach says and what lines he puts me on. Uh, although some time on the PP would be nice, I'd rather earn it than just have it handed to me."

3) Halifax had a disappointing season compared to where many predicted the team to be, thoughts on the season thus far?
"Well it was mostly chemistry issues, we had a ton of new guys, myself included, and a lot of us didn't really start off that well. So hopefully next year we can come back stronger and push harder and have a better season than this year."

4) You will face the Detroit Falcons in the first round, what do you think about the Raiders chances?
"Haha, I know a few guys on the Falcons so we've been sorta going back and forth recently on the playoff series. I believe we have a solid chance of outplaying the Falcons and pulling an upset. Y'know if we just push hard, get pucks deep and get pucks to the net we can win those 4 necessary games and advance further into the playoffs."

5) What kind of player can SHL GMs expect out of you?
"I'm still headstrong with my whole sniper-playmaker hybrid, but recently I've been leaning more to setting my teammates up. With my great hands I believe that I can start going for those more difficult passes and while maintaining possession. As well, my speed is something to look out for because I'm a very strong skater and can easily beat anyone in my draft class in a skating race. Uh, yeah, as well my shot's pretty powerful and accurate but it's not at its full potential."


MVP



Colin Banning
1A 3Shots 3Hits 1SB

Yeah, yeah, I know. A complete surprise since he wasn't named one of the three stars but I believe he was vital for the Halifax Raider's squad this match and the prospect really stepped up to the plate. He logged heavy minutes and was key in cycling the puck around the ice, his all-around game allowed Halifax to do what they wanted. I'm pretty certain that Toronto is excited that they got such a solid prospect in the ranks. Vancouver is one of the heaviest hitting teams out there and the fact he could compare and neutralize the threats shows that he has made great strides in development. I definitely see him up in the big leagues next season and I hope he continues to show great success as he dictated Vancouver's pace.

Game 178</div>
The fans were packed in tight to watch the Montreal Militia's goaltenders struggle against a light workload of just 14 shots. A rough outing for both of rookie netminders splitting time this season.
<div align="center">Period 1</div>
The first twenty began with Ronnie Westbrook the St. Louis Scarecrows twelfth round pick at 92 overall winning the opening draw against Montreal center Filip Granlund. Westbrooks time on the first line this season has been earned by being the top rated defender of all St. Louis forwards, and being a workhorse in the face off circle. Going 7/13 on the dot for the night Ronnie put up a +1 in 13:34 played.

Just 1:47 into the game Kirstofer Hallfredsson was called for roughing against Nick Celej as he threw his body into the back of Celej while he played a loose puck in the Militia neutral zone.

The Scarecrows failed to generate anything on the man advantage recording two of their six first period shots on goal.

Montreal opened the scoring at the end of a power play at 13:20 Militia import Viktor Nerokov capitalized as Danny Foster exited the penalty box from a roughing call at 11:20. Militia veterans Ilmari Maatta and Jason Forbrook played catch along the left wing boards in the Scarecrows defensive zone before Forbrook found Nerokov on the back door for Montreal's only goal of the game

St. Louis captain Kelly shits in your cereal Rivet was the beneficiary of a timely hit from Danny Foster -just as Montreal tried to break out of their zone Foster made a big hit on Militia defenseman Kristofer Halldfredsson in the neutral zone- and freed the puck for DarryL Landry to enter the offensive zone. A pass to a streaking Joe Kurczewski fresh off the bench left Joe in behind the Militia defense. He wasted no time firing a shot that missed high and wide and rolled along the boards to the skates of Kelly Rivet holding the blue line. Rivet took a single step in and fired a wrister from the point that went under the catcher of Militia goaltender Jeff Kikstone.

At 16:18 Laraque Obama put the Crows back on the power play for their second attempt of the game. After center Jason Visser lost the face off and the puck was dumped into the Crows end defenseman DarryL Landry carried the puck into the offensive zone and shot the puck in behind the net for Jason Visser to corral. Visser's shot-missed and retrieved the puck two times before wrapping the puck around the boards on an errant shot to his defense Kelly burns down libraries Rivet. Kelly raised his stick to shoot and Militia forward Travis Jeziak(-19) jumped out of the way to avoid any pain. Rivet had time to walk in-between the circles and shoot with traffic in-front. Kirkstone didn't even move as the puck breezed over his right shoulder.

With six shots on goal for both teams in the first- the Scarecrows had their high for the game with more SOG than either of the following two periods.
<div align="center">Period 2</div>
The second period began with Ronnie Westbrook winning the face off and drawing a penalty on his opposing center Filip Granlund at 0:39 into the period.

The power play for St. Louis worked quickly scoring after Jason Visser lost the face off in the Militia defensive zone. Rhaegar Targaryen worked the puck into the offensive zone and found Visser open for a one timer that missed the net. Fortunately Frans Erichsen was in position behind to retrieve the loose puck in the left wing corner- He shot from the bottom of the circle and found a hole above Kirkstones blocker for his 10th of the season at 1:01.

Forty four seconds later Kelly Rivet entered Montreal's zone and found Erichsen for his second of the night and Rivets third point. Jeff Kirkstone's night was done with 4/8 shots finding the back of the net. Steven Harris recovered the game but could not escape clean saving only 5/6 of the Scarecrows shots.

Rookie defenseman Geoff Reine intercepted a pass in defensive zone and hit Jason Visser in the neutral zone to break the Crows out. Visser missed the net again only to have Reine fire another shot wide of the goal. Jason Visser scored his 8th goal of the season at 14:26, he picked up the loose puck behind the net and skated to the right wing corner and bounced a shot off Harris's shoulder as he pushed across the crease.

Only three shots were taken in the period, each of them a fucking goal!
<div align="center">Period 3</div>
The third period saw droves of fans leave with only the most faithful/depressed lost individuals sticking around to watch the scoreless period.

Montreal couldn't beat St. Louis goalie Kyle Whalgren who saved 24 of 25 shots. Whalgren was not a star in the game but his play was admirable and let the Crows play all game with the comfort of a red hot goalie backing them up.

Throughout the final twenty Kyle was skating to one of the corners where a group of fans sat. He was sticking his hand through the camera hole trying to grab this sexy bitch in the front row he had been eyeing all game long. As more people left the more Kyle stuck through the camera hole.
<div align="center">Three Stars</div>
1. Kelly Rivet
The captain with another stellar performance (2g 1a) and it's no surprise this guy has been on top of the league all season long. The leader in points and assists for St. Louis Kelly Rivet has been outstanding and is by far the biggest contributor to the teams success.
2. Jason Visser
This little bitch had three points (1g 2a) and somehow only went +1

They only scored one fucking goal but Jason Visser is one special dude I'll tell ya. Kids got a lot of work to put in if he wants to keep on winning with St. Louis.
3. Frans Erichsen
Scoring early in the second Erichsen silenced the crowd in Montreal and killed any momentum the Militia had coming out of the intermission. He lead the league in points last season and has taken a step back in production this year but continues to be successful with 24 points on the season although he hasn't updated in two months :'(
