St Louis continues to be a team that goes above and beyond in terms of team chemistry, and the pre-game playlist is a topic that many teams have trouble agreeing on. The Scarecrows have taken a different approach to the pregame playlist this season, as a different player plays their playlist before each game. We got a chance to ask one of the St Louis Scarecrows rookies, Michael Fox, for his pregame playlist and his reasonings for each song.

1. U Don't Know - Alison Wonderland (Slander Remix)
       Michael Fox: "I always like to start out my playlists with a song with a somewhat slow start, and this fit the bill perfectly the second I heard
                          it. Starts a little slow but once it hits it gets everyone going. Everyone seems to lock in once this song comes on. Just like with
                         games, how you start is important, and I've found this is as good of a start to a playlist as you can get." 

2. Run - Alison Wonderland
       MF: "I had Spotify Radio playing during one of my off-ice workouts earlier this season and this song came on. I ended up adding it 
                          to my personal pregame playlist before the second game against Vancouver and I ended up netting my first SMJHL goal that 
                         game, and it's been on the playlist ever since."

3. Enough - Flume ft. Pusha T
       MF: "This is another one that's been on practically every playlist I've ever had. This song dropped while I was on a snowboarding trip and we
              had it on repeat all week. I know every word to this song and if you happen to come in on a day where my list is on pregame, you'll
             probably see me embarrassing myself over at my locker rapping along to this, as well as with Ballin."


4. Ballin - Logic ft. Castro
       MF: "Just like with Enough, you can catch me embarrassing myself at my locker rapping this if I'm still putting equipment on. The guys
              started out laughing at me but over the course of the few times my playlist has been on I've noticed a few guys starting to jam to this
             one too. I'm personally not as much of a Logic fan as I used to be and this song may soon be on the chopping block, but for now it's still
            enough of a pump up song that it's staying on the list."

5. Back Again - Flosstradamus
       MF: "This has been on my playlist practically since it came out when I was in middle school. I've been throwing down to this song for a while 
              now and it honestly never gets old. Also, every time before a game it's like 'We're back b******' - sorry, can I say that? - and I 
             personally come out of the gate a little hotter after I hear this one. Like I said earlier, how you start is important, but to add to that, its
            how you end that really matters, and with this one fading out as we hit the ice, this one lets us all know it's game time."

Surely some interesting choices from the Scarecrow rookie, but it's good to see St Louis taking a different approach to the pregame music than some other teams seem to be taking. It might explain why the underlying stats look so good for the Crows, and surely the results should soon follow as the season is hitting its final stretch.
