<div align="center">1st Period</div>
The first period was lots of back and forth with both teams posturing to make a strike. Both goalies had lots of opportunities for rest as Montreal had 5 shots on net and Kelowna only 3. Even with only 3 shots in the Fram Kelowna was able to capitalize on 1 late in the period on a Matthew Shea penalty. Justs Simais buried one in the net to make it 1-0 with just over a minute left.
Quote:Justice picks the puck up in his own end after a dump in by Orlov. He feeds an outlet pass to Starosta. Starsota skates over the Militia blue line and puts the puck across to Simais. Simais with the shot, GOAL! 1-0 Kelowna
<div align="center">2nd Period</div>
Beau Bent opened the period with a goal just 2 minutes into the 2nd. Starosta tallied his second point on a beautiful pass that Bent fired home. Just a few minutes later Ty Justice scored to make it 3-0. With the game looking like it was starting to get out of reach Viktor Nerokov scored to get within 2 of the Knights.
Quote:Forbrook with a shot on night. Starosta steps in front of it to block. The puck deflects right back to Viktor Nerokov. No hesitation with that shot, and it's in! 3-1 Kelowna
<div align="center">3rd Period</div>
The 3rd started with lots of minor penalties to get things going. With 5 in the first 10 minuts the most notable was Dominiques back to back minors which resulted with the Militias Johnny Watson potting one in on the PP to get within 1 of the Knights. As the period winded down the scramble was on with the Militia going all out to try and tie the game up. However it was all for naught as with the goalie pulled, the Knights Trevor Wilson put a dagger through the heart of Montreal as he scored an empty netter with 3 seconds left.
Quote:Wilson skates in and gingerly slides the puck into the empty cage. That should be it folks. The game will end 4-2 for Kelowna.
Final score: Kelowna 4, Montreal 2
<div align="center">3 Stars of the Game</div>
3rd Star - Jason Aittokallio - 21 Saves on 23 Shots, .913 SV% - The former 1st overall pick showed why he was picked then. Well by no means his best game of the season he was reliable and consistently bailed out his teams defensive mishaps. The Militia figured out how to put 2 past him, but that's all he was allowing on the night.
2nd Star - Ty Justice - 1G,1A,2P,2S,2H,0SB - Justice played a true 2 way game tonight and helped his team immensely on both ends of the ice. Between his scoring and his physical play, he was the type of player any team would be lucky to have. Ty looked magical on the ice tonight, knowing what plays to make and when.
1st Star - Trevor Wilson- 1G,1A,2P,4S,0H,0SB - Wilson was firing shots all night, while only 4 hit the net, each one looked like a legitimate threat to score. If not for Harris' quick reflexes this could of easily been a hat trick game for Wilson. Any time he stepped on the ice he just looked like he had the confidence that some players only dream of. A great game for him.

One final time, the shot opened up with the Fox Sports One logo, and then panned back to reveal a mess of a set, specifically the reporting desk that looked like a bomb went off on it. Papers were everywhere, more food messes than you could count, and two half naked Canadians sat holding bottles of ‘the good stuff’, half empty. They looked around glazed over, and then finally Dan O’Toole shouted towards his long-time reporting partner, Jay Onrait.
Dan: I toooooooold you. I tooooooooold you this would make it better.
Jay: Lookee here though, I dooooon’t think that our friends with the SJMJHL LJH? –whassit? N-eways, I don’t think they’re gonna like this recap. I think yer drunk, Dan.
Dan: Nooooooope. I can still do that nose thing.
Dan missed his nose wildly and ended up poking himself in his own eye.
Jay: Clearly, were both a little inebrateddd, but lookee – we have a job to do. And do it we shall. Shull? Shaaaaaaaaaaall.

Jay: I mean, if you wanted to mix up a few cocktails between periods, the ice is RIGHT THERE. That’s puuuuuurfect.
<b><div align="center">First Period</div></b> Dan: Ok burds are quickly going to the PP, haha pee-pee, and this guy Eduard Sel-ishe? SEL-ISHE? Selicck? Anyways, he gets the basket in the bisket and PG is up one.
Jay: The president plays on this line?? Obrana?? Hah, that’s pretty patriot-ey but isn’t PG in Canada?? WHAT IS GOING ON.
<b><div align="center">1. Prince George Firebirds, Eduard Selich 5 (Tapper Kottbulle, Barak Obrana) at 3:12 (PP)
Prince George 1 - Halifax 0</div></b> Dan: It’s really a shame that the Pirate-guys are down a goal after dominating in shots in the first. This goalie Waters, like the water-waters, is pretty good.
Jay: And the perfect addition to your glass of scotch.
<b><div align="center">Second Period</div></b> Jay: I got this one – another pee-pee in the second and Kaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarl Huuuuuuuuuuurtzberg gets a quick goal from Tom Sellick and my main man, HUNKY MONKEY. Like – how amazing a name is that? This SHJSML is good league.
Dan: Seeeeee-Hocolate not doing so well in the other net, this might be an early night for him.

Jay: Guys yeah. Look at these guys, KARL, SVEN, Hylie…Hylighter? Highlighter?? Is that the joke? Why is the R capitalized in his last name?? WHY IS THE HIGHLIGHTER NOT RETURNABLE???

Jay: Lookee Dan, you can’t just say flamers anymore. This is the twentieth century okay?
<b><div align="center">4. Prince George Firebirds, Casper Jakobsson 10 (Sven Wolf, Barak Obrana) at 17:16
Prince George 4 - Halifax 0</div></b> Dan: PG crushed them that period. CRUSHED them. Like a PG-13 rated beatdown. And seeeeeeee-Hocolate gets the yank which I’m sure he’s fine with. Hell, why would any of them even want to come back for more?
Jay: I’d be drinking in that locker-room if I was the Pirates. Hell, I’ll have one or two for them right now.
<b><div align="center">Third Period</div></b> Dan: I guess good on those guys for coming back out here, and they finally get rewarded for their bravery with a nice passing sequence and Toivo Kosonen notching his second of the season. Assists to our boys Reed and Banning!
Jay: That was almost coherent Dan, time for a top up.
Dan: I’m coherent?? You’re coherent!

They both pounded back a massive glass of scotch apiece.
Jay: God – it’s so warm. It’s like wrapping yourself in the bestest blanket fresh out of the oven. Oh yeah the game is over. Canada won.

Jay: It’s all a blur to me but wow – it worked! The sim worked!
Dan: What a happy moment in our final game, I’m so glad we got to see-
Suddenly Dan threw up EVERYWHERE. And I mean, everywhere. On the table, on his chair, on the set, on the Fox Sports One logo – even splatters of bits and pieces hit Jay across the desk.
Jay: Well, I think our work here is done. For everyone here at FS1, we cannot tell you how pleased we were to work with the SJH…SML…S…the hockey thingy…and bring you highlights from some great games. I’m sure we won’t be invited back, but thank you for being our sponsor for one season.
Glancing over at his puke-stained, passed-out partner, he shrugged.
If you liked that, seriously, read all his PGSs and PTs and Media stuff. He's a legend writer, and an e-Fed superstar in the forums he and I grew up on. Read it all, tbh, it's always on point.

Colorado and Detroit meet one night after the Mammoths picked up a 4-2 win in Detroit behind an absurd goaltending effort from Ekaterina Rudnikova. Rudnikova would again perform well, but Detroit avenges the previous evening's loss with a 3-2 shootout victory.
First Period
Colorado wastes no time in giving the home crowd something to cheer about, as Maverick O’Dooley tallied his eighth goal of the season just twenty seconds into the game.
Quote:
... And Toohoots is asked to leave the circle, it’ll be Stamkos and Berkis. Stamkos wins it, he slides it to Dover, who goes across the blue line. Dover shuffles it to O’Dooley, who gives it back. Now Dover passes it along the boards to Stamkos behind the net. He surveys, now to his left to Renninger. Renninger feigns, now to O’Dooley at the blue line HE SHOOTS AND SCORES! Well, that didn’t take long! Maverick O’Dooley scores in just 20 seconds, and Colorado leads 1-0!
It took a little bit longer, but Detroit soon leveled with its own first-line goal by winger Alex Berkis.
Quote:... Moleman SHOOTS, it goes wide! Metzler collects the loose puck, now there’s a scrum along the boards. Metzler ... comes out with it, and passes to Moleman, across the crease TO BERKIS AND HE SCORES! And we are tied! Alex Berkis with his 15th goal of the season, and Detroit has tied it at the 3:53 mark of the first period.
Colorado’s Serj Kovalchuk committed a cross-checking penalty with 5:14 remaining in the first period. Detroit capitalized on the power play to take a 2-1 lead to close out the period.
Quote:... Hippo SHOOTS, but Dover gets in the way! Kaspars Berzins with it now, slid back to Hippo behind the cage. Hippo dishes to Zjang, SHOT, he misses the net, BUT HIPPO’S THERE AND HE SCORES!
Second Period
There weren’t any goals in the second twenty-minute frame, but that didn’t mean there was a shortage of excitement. One such moment came four minutes into the period, when Erik Muller started hitting everything that moved wearing a Mammoths jersey.
Quote:
... Stamkos FIRES but Kaspars Berzins knocks it down. Stamkos retrieves the puck, but Muller knocks him off of it. Dover has it now, he passes to Renninger. Renninger gives it back to Stamkos and Muller levels him again! The puck slides behind McSieve, Colorado will take this chance to change lines and regroup. Zjang takes the puck behind the net, he gives it to Edvins Berzins. Berzins skates through the neutral zone ... and he’ll lose the puck all on his own, Yvel with it now. Yvel across the blue line to Browski, now to McGraw AND HE GETS REAMED BY MULLER! SOMEBODY STOP THE DAMN MATCH!
Third Period
Undeterred by Muller’s bullying, Stamkos, Jr. tied the match seven minutes into the third period.
Quote:Detroit will dump it to change lines, the checking line taking the ice now for the Falcons. Maguku gathers the loose puck, he’ll carry it through the neutral zone. Now into the attacking zone, Maguku FIRES, DEFLECTED BY STAMKOS AND IT’S IN! Lucky number thirteen on the season for Stamkos with 12:59 remaining in the third, we are tied!
Overtime
This took us to overtime. Detroit dominated the first two minutes of the period, utilizing a power play to generate several shots. However, the Falcons could not convert the opportunity into a game-winner.
Quote:
Toohoots wins the faceoff, he passes to Moleman. MOLEMAN SHOOTS, BATTED AWAY BY RUDNIKOVA, MOLEMAN WITH THE REBOUND AND IT SAILS HIGH. Toohoots collects the puck, HE SHOOTS AND MISSES THE NET. Now Prince Daniel James with it against the boards, he works himself free, skates into the slot HE FIRES AND MISSES WIDE, MY GOODNESS! JAMES WITH IT AGAIN, WRAPAROUND BUT IT HITS THE POST. Colorado surviving a complete onslaught right now!
Shootout
As a result, the game went to a shootout after a scoreless overtime. It took nine rounds, but finally Detroit claimed victory thanks to Alexander Odegaard.
Quote:...Perhaps the ninth time is the charm here. Odegaard skates in on Rudnikova ... he fakes right, now backhand OVER RUDNIKOVA’S SHOULDER AND IN. That nifty backhanded top-shelf effort might just give Detroit the two points.
Three Stars
Third Star - Ekaterina Rudnikova, Colorado: The Mammoths goaltender made 32 saves to ensure her team earned a point in the standings.
Second Star - Rising Hippo, Detroit: Hippo tallied a power play goal in the first period, five hits, and a crucial shootout goal, Detroit’s most valuable contributor in the victory.
First Star - Steven Stamkos, Jr., Colorado: The only player in the game to record two points, Stamkos, Jr. scored one goal and assisted on the other for Colorado in regulation.
Notebook
Working Overtime: Colorado has now lost seven of its last nine games. However, the Mammoths have reached overtime in all seven of those losses, losing twice in the overtime period and five times in a shootout. The team’s last regulation loss? A 5-1 defeat at the hands of Kelowna 15 match days ago.
Falcons on Fire: With the win, Detroit has now won 11 of its last 13 contests. The Falcons have soared to the top of the East Division standings during this hot streak, battling with Kelowna for the overall lead in the SMJHL.
Laying the Boom: The Falcons doubled the Mammoths hit tally in the game, laying 20 checks to Colorado’s 10. Oddly enough, the increased physicality did not lead to more penalties for the visitors. Colorado committed five penalties in the game, while Detroit made just two trips to the sin bin.
This PGS is way late, so I'll save you the work and just tell you that this should get a point docked

9. Detroit Falcons , Hans Moleman 9 (Marc Leclerc, Nucky Toohoots) at 2:58
TSN TURNING POINT
This game was never in Montreal's hands, but the game pretty much ended when Evans and James scored successively in under a minute. While Obama scored only 25 seconds later, finding yourself in a 3 goal hole at 15 minutes is almost impossible to come back from, as all semblance of momentum fizzled and died as easily as it came.
3 STARS
3rd: Nucky Toohoots
With 3 points, all of them assists, it's hard to deny his place as part of the 3 stars. He had some incredible moments, and won some very important faceoffs to help Detroit win this one without too much of a struggle.
2nd: Alex Berkis
While he only had 2 points, he was influential on the powerplay with 6 minutes played, and took 5 shots. He could have easily had more to say about his production than he actually did, so he deserves a place on this list.
1st: Hans Moleman
Moleman had 5 points. He's pretty good. At the time of writing he leads the league in goals, assists and points and is a lock for the Raymond Lindsay. Moleman absolutely carried this game, and had he not, this might have had a different outcome.
