Jerry Larry Unhinged

The St. Louis Scarecrows 3rd pairing defensemen Jerry Larry logged 6 minutes of penalty minutes tonight. His first infraction was a double minor for roughing. After a shot on the St Louis goal Jerry Larry got into a shoving match with Halifax player Haley Knight. Immediately off the faceoff Jerry Larry decided it would be a great idea to tackle Haley Knight. The officials immediately separated them and tossed Larry into the box for 4 minutes. To Larry's relief nothing came of the ensuing double power play. Larry's next infraction would be an accidental high stick during a puck battle in the corner. The St. Louis coaching staff will be having a word with Larry and his discipline.

Halifax Powerplay Fails Big Time

Halifax had six, yes SIX opportunities with the man advantage and failed to capitalize on any of them. Yes, it is early in the season but going 0 for 6 on the power play raises at least a small red flag. How will the Raiders seek to fix their man advantage, which has struggled this season? At this point a special team's coaching change is probably very rash, but if this trend continues I would not be the least surprised in a personnel change. In the post game presser the Raider's coach promised that next practice would focus largely on the power play, and he's open to suggestions from players and staff for ideas to fix it.

Scarecrow Penalty Kill Impeccable

The St Louis Scarecrow put themselves on the man disadvantage 6 times, which is an issue in of itself. But, a shining point of the game was the penalty kill. The penalty kill lines were structured, poised, and had extremely active sticks. Shots were blocked left and right, and then cleaned up to be cleared. You could tell after the Scarecrows killed of the double minor committed by Jerry Larry that they had the momentum in the game. The penalty killers came up huge this game, and without a performance like that I doubt that this game would've had the same outcome.
