With the game 0-0 and the Scarecrows and Berserkers continuing to pummel it out in the corners something had to give. Early shots finding the posts, the teams both were playing nervously. As the minutes ticked by the teams started to ease, while the intensity continued to pick up. Nearing the 15 minute mark Jukka Timonen dangled by a defender before burying a short-sided shot top shelf for New Foundland and open the scoring. Momentum was seized early in the rivalry, but proved only to be the beginning of a heated match up as the game would register thirty-one hits in total.


With the drop of the puck to start the second period the Scarecrows quickly pounced. With a quick cycle, St. Louis gained possessions in the zone. A crisp pass at the point found a short sided two on one in the pocket. With the ice still fresh, the puck moved quickly between the attacking Crows drawing the defense away from the crease where Kriss Darzins was left alone in the slot and quickly slipped one past Amundsen to tie the game in the 2nd period after making it through the slot and build the momentum just 37 seconds into the period.



After the Scarecrows pull the goalie for a six on five advantage, the Scarecrows were finding another groove as they continued to pile on the shots. With the seconds counting down, the cycle was one. From one to the next, the passes were finding the tape. What players weren't finding, however, was an alley way to get the puck to the net. Just when all hope was almost gone and ten seconds one the clock Danny Marston quickly gathered a tipped pass through the slot and wristed a shot top shelf. Out of no where, Cale Amundsen snags the puck blindly late in the game to seal the win for the Berserkers.
