<div align="center">Period 1</div>
Nicky Toohoots was tied up on the opening face off of the game by Ronnie Westbrook, St. Louis winger Joe Kurczewski picked up the loose puck and put a shot on goal in the first seconds of the game. One of only three shots for St. Louis in the period- Kurczewski is by far the Crows leader in SOG through the season with a 10.66% shooting pct. off 122 total shots through 50 games.

Neither team scored a goal in the first period with the Falcons out shooting St. Louis 11-3 on two power play opportunities.

Marc Leclerc was called for tripping Frans Erichsen at 5:44 as the Crows broke out of their defensive zone. St. Louis failed to take a single shot on the man-advantage.

Scarecrows rookie Scott Escobar (10:00) and Manhattan Rage prospect DarryL Landry (15:26) each took tripping penalties that put Hans Moleman and the Falcons on the PP.

Crows goalie Kyle Whalgren was outstanding in the opening frame, Moleman came close three times on the power play collecting his own rebounds but Whalgren weathered the storm.

Rookie Geof Reine scored at 5:42 after retrieving his own missed shot and trading passes with St. Louis 4th line winger Dos Diablo.

Diablo who hasn't updated since April has been one of the most prolific scorers for the Scarecrows averaging only 10 mins per game Diablo finished the season with 10g 14a 24pts and an impressive +14 rating. At .89 p/20 Diablo is #1 on St. Louis ahead of Kelly Rivet who sits at .85 with 51 points on the season.

There were eight penalties in the period and three of them were charged to St. Louis enforcer Danny 'Bananas' Foster.

Danny started the period off taking a holding penalty against Molemanat 0:57 after Jason Visser turned the puck over in the neutral zone and gave Moleman a near break away- if it weren't for Foster's effort.

Geoff Reine was called for interference at 3:10 just seconds after the Scarecrows had killed a penalty. Just nine seconds later it was a 5v3 with Danny Foster returning to the box for hooking Rising Hippo as the 4ton Hippo worked the boards and spun away from an attempted hit by Foster.

St. Louis managed to escape Detroit's power play unharmed but only saw a few moments of 5v5 with Frans Erichsen being called for holding against none other than Rising mu'fuckin Hippo. Frans had the 42 ton behemoth pinned on the boards and held him fighting for possession while the puck had already moved along, Erichsen's trip to the box would not be the last for St. Louis in the period.

After another successful penalty kill for St. Louis the luck turned in favor of St. Louis and the Scarecrows got a shot on the powerplay with Chadathy Brodangleschlong (who recorded five hits in the game) taking a roughing penalty behind the Falcons goal.

Each team recorded five shots in the period failing to generate any scoring chances on the man advantage. Danny Foster was called for hooking Alex Berkis at 14:05 after receiving a stretch pass from Alexis Metzler that put Berkis in a great scoring position until Foster neutralized the danger and Berkis's shot floated in for an easy stop for Kyle Whalgren.

Detroit didn't do shit on the power play again.

Neither did the Scarecrows though- with one more opportunity from a tripping call against Alec Derin at 17:53. Danny Foster laid a big hit on Sivy McSieve in the neutral zone and the puck was picked up by Jason Visser. His slow legs were not enough to get by Derin who pulled Visser to the ground before he could get a shot or pass off.

The third started off with another power play for the Falcons. Geoff Reine was penalized for holding RISING FUCKING HIPPO. The PK was incredible all night for St. Louis allowing a league average 23 shots in a game getting giving the opposition eight power play opportunities. That easily could have been a game where we saw 40 plus shots from a properly oiled power play machine

The final stretch of the game saw a single goal from Scarecrows 2nd round draft pick Willy Mack. His third of the season came from stick of fellow rookie's Joe Kurczewski and Geoff Reine at 6:35. Kurczewski found Mack at the top of the right wing circle after breaking into the Falcons zone on a bank pass from Geoff Reine. You could see the relief in Willy Mack's game after he scored- with an extra jump in his game he showed everyone he is capable of so much more than he has done thus far in S30.

After a promising start from Mack the past few days have been utterly disappointing. With multiple weeks passing between updates Willy is by no means a player the Crows want to give up on, but with each passing day Willy falls behind and optimism for his return becomes less and less realistic :'( WILLY COME BACK!!!
<div align="center">Three Stars</div>
1. Kyle Whalgren
Picked in the first round of the S30 SMJHL draft Whalgren has proven himself one of the elite prospects in SMJHL. Leading the league in Minuets played, shutouts, shots faces, save pct, and GAA. Whalgren is one of the best fucking rookie goalies the SMJHL will every know. Dude's going big places. Recording the shut out against Detroit was huge for Whalgren and the Scarecrows.
2. Willy Mack
<3 Love you Willy. With a goal in the third and a single face off win for 100% on the night Willy Mack made a small case for his new abstent style of existence.
3. Geof Reine
The big rookie defenseman may not be the flashiest TPE gainer but Reine can still put up points with two on the night (1g 1a) and 4 PIMS Reine netted the game winner for the Scarecrows in another low shooting affair for the team

Chadathy Brodangleschlon led the Falcons with five hits in only 7:21 played in the game along with Rising Hippo who played a much more full 22:49.

Brodangleschlon is a god damn pain to play against, and to coach. He would have had plenty more than the two PIMS if the coaches let him off the leash like St. Louis does with Danny 'Bananas' Foster. - Who registered 6 PIMS and three hits in 18:56
