1. Well, firstly, we have to deal with this lopsided shot count. Detroit ended up outshooting our beloved Kelowna Knights by 12 shots, which is quiet the margin in a game who's final score was only a difference of 2 goals. This shot difference materialized because of a dismal performance in the first and third periods by the Knights. What can you expect when you only toss five or six shots on net in a period? The second period seemed to be a turning point, as the Knights were able to hold the Falcons to only 4 shots, while hammering 7 of their own on net. All I'm saying is that you need to shoot to score, and the Knights just weren't able to do that tonight.

2. We also need to recognize the importance of dual sport athletes in today's sports climate. I, for one, can't even imagine how difficult it must be to be a top athlete in more than one sport, so I need to give a tip of my hat to Falcons' defenceman Khabib Nurmagomedov. He was able to pick up an assist in tonight's matchup, so it's awesome to see that a player that can so beautifully finesse his way around the ice is also able to kick some absolute ass in the octagon. I'm personally surprised that he didn't throw the body around as much, but maybe Simon T. doesn't count a hit when he takes a player down below the knees.

3. The rookies in this game were here to show off, mostly in the performances of Edward Williams and Rocco Berni. Williams has had a fantastic season and looks to be a mainstay in the SMJHL and SHL for the foreseeable future. In this particular matchup, he was able to snag a goal and an assist, 2 of more than 30 points that he was able to rack up in his rookie season. He was joined on the scoresheet by Knights centre Berni, who grab his seventh assist on the season. At this point, Berni was sitting on the third line, so to have seven assists in less than ten games was a great start for an SMJHL rookie.
