Rotti's Roundup

Nimble Newfies

The Berserkers come into tonight with 9 points on the season, boasting a single regulation loss through 6 games. The Scarecrows are their first chance to show off the great puck they've been playing so far. Although named after barbarian warriors, the Berserkers are no chumps when it comes to finesse and skill. They have no issues moving the puck consistently, dangling defenders with dastsyukian deaks, and managing to find minuscule fractions of an inch to sneak the puck past tendies. This team is going to one to watch when it comes playoff time, and could be challenging for a cup come the end of the regular season. 

Schocking St. Louis

The scarecrows have got off to a tough start to the season, losing a tough game in OT and only notching 5 points so far. In the SMJHL a team can turn around their luck at any time, though, and the Scarecrows could end up making something out of this season. Mega Tron has been a driving force in both of the team's prior wins, and almost pushed St. Louis to a win tonight, but it wasn't enough. The one thing St. Louis can hold on to after this game is that it was winnable at points, and if a few mistakes can be erased, they might be looking to add wins instead of losses on the stat sheet going forward.

Morningstar's unleashes the deamons

Just like Mega Tron from the Scarecrows, Lucifer Morningstar has been a large part of the Berserker's early success. His game is similar to Tron's in the sense that he's not stuffing the stat sheet, but if the Bersker's are getting a good luck in the offensive zone there's a good chance the look came off of Morningstar's tape. There have been some discussions as to whether Morningstar may be getting some help from *ahem* elsehwere due to his name and likeness, but he remains vigilant that his play is coming from hard work and skill. He joins my player's to watch for the rest of the season, and will be on Rotti's Radar going forward.
