Unsung Hero

The Unsung hero has to be Ruslan Zaporozhets of the St. Louis Scarecrows. He was crucial in the Scarecrow's win against the Berserkers as he registered 3 assists. The first assist came at less than a minute into the second period putting the scarecrows up by one. However, I think he really shined in the third period where he registered two assists. Coming into the third the Scarecrows were down by 2 and needed to create some magic if they wanted to win this one. His first assist of the period brought them within one and his second of the period got them the game winner. If it wasn't for his pinpoint passing, no way the Scarecrows were winning this one.

Goalie woes

The St Louis Scarecrows goalie Jason Voorhees was not having himself a game tonight as he let in 5 goals in the first 19 shots. Scarecrows management saw that Jason Voorhees was not playing his best and knew that at some point they needed to make a change. Well that change did happen towards the end of the second period as the Berserkers scored their third goal of the period. The scarecrows back up goalie, Elizabeth Doyle, was up for the task as she got called into battle. Doyle saved every shot thrown her way going for 18/18 as the scarecrows completed their comeback.

Rintarou Okabe Shines

Despite the loss Rintarou Okabe of the Berserkers shines while on the top line. Okabe is in his third season season with the Berserkers and is ready to get called up the the big leagues in the next season or two and he really showcased his skills on the ice tonight. Okabe scored two goals and registered an assist with 21 minutes of ice time. Okabe had an impresive 61.1% faceoff win percentage and gave it is all. Okabe was a crucial part of the Berserkers power play and penalty kill success tonight. He was absolutely the reason the Berserkers came so close to winning this game.
