With the playoff picture closed, the final Game of the Week and Game of the regular season pits Rocky Mountain Rivals St. Louis and Houston against each other for some last minute bragging rights. For Houston, it was a year of promise. The Cosmonauts came out this season swinging. With the help of a good draft by Tobu and guidance from new assistant general manager DL Leonine the Cosmonauts brought a powerful offensive prowess that scored in bunches, ending the year tied for 5th in Goals Allowed. Unfortunately, unable to feed their offensive energy into comparable defence, and with a renewed Victoria chugging along strongly, the Cosmonauts fell out of Playoff contention with a week and a half to go.

For the Spirits it was a rough but winning ride. Starting the season off near the bottom of the division, and having lost their best forward to early retirement, the Spirits for a time did not look like they were going to become repeat victors of the division. However, by mid season, their star goalie Halfred Sunderson got back into winning form, and with skaters Joshua Underhill, Chris Bartholomew, Phoenix Audubon and Skye Goodfellow finding their stride, they were about to charge back into the Division lead as the season closed, and the Spirits won the Division soundly.

With the Regular Season at it's close, who will have the last laugh before the playoffs start?

Summary: http://bit.ly/S4GOTW9

The game started off with a bang, as in the period of a minute and a half the score went from 0-0 to 1-1 with goals scored by Phoenix Audubon and Alexei Tushenko, and would stay that way from the rest of the period. The Cosmonauts would be on the power-play during the period on a holding the stick call on Skye Goodfellow, but the Spirits would kill it and the teams remained tied going into the second.

In the second, the lone goal by Cosmonauts Defenseman Shane LaFluer would be the icing on the cake, as the Cosmonauts took a 2 to 1 lead they would never give back. In the third, they added to the lead with a second goal for Alexei Tushenko, and a by Defenseman Fire Otter, who a few seconds after the goal, got into a tussle with Spirits Defenseman Sergei Kozlov. The two separated and brought to the boxes, the horn quickly blew, ending the game in Houston's favor, 4-1.
