Goalie power
Goalie is really important for each team, there are no doubt, but sometimes, they don't have so much power to get a win for their team by their own. Elizabeth Doyle played very well for Scarecrows. She saved 27 of 30 Berserkers shots and had 90% saves in her debut SMJHL game. Anyway - it wasn't enough for a victory. Doyle will be very important for Scarecrows this season, she played pretty well this game, but that wasn't enough. It's pretty hard to win if you score only two goals in a game and this was the proof. Both goalies played well though.

Discipline
Discipline is really important in hockey in general, but this game was the one where you forget what is the discipline. Berserkers had 12 penalty minutes in this game, but Scarecrows even 18. 30 combined penalty minutes in whole game without fights or major penalties. It was just a game without the discipline. 30 combined penalty minutes and only five combined goals. Pretty low discpiline and pretty low quality of powerplays for both teams. Chaostic game! Both teams need to have better discipline and powerplays if they want to get Four Star Cup this season. Both teams need pretty insane changes.

The king of faceoffs
Scarecrows won in many things, but not in the score. Danny Marston of Scarecrows went in psycho mode. Martsen was in twenty faceoffs and won fourteen of them, which means he won 70% of them. Pretty insane statistics for a SMJHL player. If he could keep up this type of performance in faceoffs, Scarecrows would have great advantage in offense and defense aswell. Scarecrows won 35 faceoffs, while Berserkers only 24, which means that Marston won almost half of his teams faceoffs and almost same amount as Berserkers players combined. This is some king level type thing which is pretty unbeatable. Luck or skill? We will see in next games.
