The St. Louis Scarecrows are in the middle of a legit cup window. They are 2nd only to Vancouver in TPE and have managed convincing wins against some top teams early in the season, most notably Maine this week. Dominik Winters is likely to lead our team in scoring as one of the most offensively gifted forwards on the team. James Ward-Prowse is off to a fantastic start and is playing exceptionally well at both ends of the ice. Easily the best offensive start he has had in his career posting a staggering 84 OGR. I'll give my last shoutout to another forward, Marshall Madden, who boasts the team's highest DGR (80) while consistently chipping in offensively (11 points in 11 games). 

With some savvy GM work as the season progresses there's no reason to believe St. Louis can't compete come playoffs. And there's already been some savvy GM work, picking up Axel Hämäläinen may be just what the Scarecrows needed to push them over the edge.
