Jack Daniels Numbs the Pain, But Doesn't Solve St. Louis's Problems
The game imitated life this week as Jack Daniels gave some temporary hope and good feelings to the St. Louis faithful. St. Louis defied all odds ending the 1st period up 2-0 on the heavily favoured Kelowna Knights. This was in large part thanks to Jack Daniels himself assisting on Goku Muerto's first of the season while potting his own with a little more than a minute left in the first period. Gordie Maple also assisted on both goals, giving St. Louis fans the confidence that a bottle of maple flavoured whiskey would give most. In the end, it came back up as fast as it went down. Kelowna scored 4 unanswered to win the game, leaving St. Louis wondering why they drank in the first place.

Michael O'Dowd leaves it all out on the ice for the Knights
Michael O'Dowd helped out his team a lot when they needed it in this game. He assisted on tying goal and the goal that put the Knights up by 2 in the third. More importantly than that, Dowd suited up for almost 8 minutes in penalty kill time. He won draw after draw, winning 27 of 40 he took (67.5%). He led all Knights forward with nearly 23 minutes played and he never took a second off tonight. O'Dowd's penalty killing saved this game from getting out of hand when they were down 2-0 early. While his best work won't show up on the scoreboard, his influence was a huge reason for the Kelowna Knight's victory tonight.

Vilde Calms the Storm
A moment that may go overlooked by most took place in the first 30 seconds of the 2nd period. St. Louis is up 2-0, and Kelowna is ready to get back into the game. They quickly break into the Scarecrows zone only to turn over the puck. St. Louis quickly counter-attacks making crisp passes, eventually giving Falk a prime scoring chance that Vilde turns away. Crisis averted? Not yet. Kelowna wins the draw again. They quickly work it out of their end only to turn over the puck once more. The Scarecrows once again counter-attack and get another great chance on net that Vilde turns away. 4 minutes later, Kelowna scores their first of the game and would never look back. You have to wonder if they would have had the ability to climb out of a 3 goal deficit if Vilde had not been up to the task early in the second.
