Undisciplined Second
What a second period this game had. A total of three goals were scored, with St. Louis putting two in the back of the net off eleven shots. Surprisingly, neither of those were off the power play. Newfoundland's only goal that period did come off the power play. Now let's talk about power play, as there was a lot of power play time during the second period. A total of six penalties were handed out, three to each team. Of the six penalties, four were for tripping. Each team taking two tripping penalties. The other two penalties were for goalie interference and charging.

Third Verse, Same as Second
You like penalties? No? Well too bad, because the third period was similar to the second period. The refs weren't swallowing their whistle, handing out a total of five penalties during the third period. This time though, the penalty distribution was not as even the second period. At the end of the third, St. Louis had four penalties called against them. Two of the penalties were for slashing, and two for hooking. A tough break for the Scarecrows, but you have to displayed disciplined if you want to win hockey games. You can't be taking stupid penalties and sitting in the box.

Consistency is Key
Through the whole game, consistency and patience was the name of the game for the Newfoundland Berserkers. Each period, they were able to score one goal. The shot totals were thirteen, nine, and eight for the first, second, and third periods, respectively. On the defensive side of the game, Newfoundland were in their groove, not allowing goals in the first and third periods. The second period wasn't as solid, but it's hard to keep pucks out the net when you're top defensive players are tired from penalty killing. Overall a solid game from Newfoundland, who were really in gear this game.
