Game 1: Salmon Kings 4, Grizzlies 2

Zero down, four to go.

Not a bad game by Utah, but the boys just weren't on top of their opportunities in the same way Victoria was. We were hoping to see the same fire from the Grizzlies in the first game of this series as we did in the first game against Stockton, but Utah couldn't consistently pull off that same buzz. However, the Grizzlies kept at it right down to the wire and worked on coming back after each Victoria goal, which is something we'd like to see continue throughout the series. Tomorrow, we'd like to see them keep in those pucks in the Salmon Kings' end - but that's just us.

Nice to see the power play still clicking. Both Grizzlies goals tonight were on the man advantage. While Utah's special teams are doing some great work, it sounds like Victoria's goal is to stay out of the box as much as possible - so we're gonna need to see some 5-on-5 goals as well. However, if the Grizzlies can continue to capitalize on the Salmon Kings' penalties like they did tonight, they can't go wrong.

Matt Reber was at it again, picking up assists on both of Utah's goals. Talk about an asset to the power play. We have to hand it to both Reber and Tuzzolino - they've really given special teams a boost.

Pick one up tonight, boys.

Game 2: Thunder 3, Grizzlies 2

Series tied.

Utah and their fans were definitely stunned in this one. The Grizzlies came out really strong in the 1st and 2nd periods, but couldn't keep the puck out of their own end in the 3rd or Overtime. Frustrating, especially considering the game we saw from the boys in Game 1.

When Stockton went up in the 3rd, we didn't know if Utah could do it. But Parnham saved the day with his tying goal late in the 3rd. Nicely done, Visa.

Special teams were still pretty strong. Utah has yet to allow Stockton a power play goal, but has been able to capitalize on 4 of their 9 power play situations. If the Grizzlies keep this kind of work with the special teams up, then we shouldn't have to worry.

Get the lead back Saturday, Utah.

Post Game: Grizzlies 3, Thunder 2 (OT)

Thank you, Utah!

The boys really rev-ed things up during the 1st. Puck control was amazing and they pulled of 20 shots on goal to Stockton's 8. There wasn't a moment where Utah looked shaky during the initial 20, which isn't quite what we expected after Saturday's game where the boys looked dead on their feet. But the boys remained on the forecheck for the most part and when they needed it, Sims stepped up to make the saves.

Going into the 3rd, we really didn't think the guys were going to pull it off. They looked exhausted; Stockton was pushing every advantage and was able to tie things up quickly. We really have to give some props to the Maverik Center for having technical difficulties with their lights. The break seemed to give Utah the push they needed to take things past regulation and get the win in OT.

Two favorites of the OT period were Nyren with his game winning goal (of course) and Parnham picking up the passes. Welcome back, Visa! Both of those guys really assisted in manufacturing the win in that crucial time, so hats off to them.

Better luck on the man advantage, boys - Utah only converted on 1 of 9 power play situations. On the upside, they only went shorthanded 3 times - nicely done.

And in case you hadn't heard: with Sunday's overtime win, the Grizzlies are in the playoffs. Couldn't have been done during a better game or a better series.

Post Game: Thunder 6, Grizzlies 1

Grizzlies lose.

The boys definitely tried in this one, but they didn't have the extra oomph needed to pull it off. When Clarke was thrown out in the 2nd, we didn't expect the 4 remaining defensemen to be able to continue at the pace they would need in order to win. The effort was there, just not the stamina.

Connelly kept the boys in the game as long as he could. His performance was very reminiscent of Sims's during Wednesdays game. The last few minutes were pretty deadly to his overall statistics but for the first 54, he was pretty much on fire.

Nice to see Tanguay get a goal.

Overall, this just seemed to be a game of tough breaks, but what can you do? Nobody's going to give anyone else an inch going down the stretch to the playoffs, especially not Utah. We felt tired just watching it, so here's to the boys getting a decent night's rest and making a comeback tomorrow.

Best of luck for Sunday.

Post Game: Wranglers 5, Grizzlies 2

Grizzlies lose.

What a crazy game. And for about 30 seconds we thought Utah was going to win it. And then . . .

We looked everywhere for a clip of that accidental shorthanded Vegas goal Rinfret allowed, but no luck. Honestly, the poor kid was hanging in there until that crappy bounce. Then he lost all confidence like the Hiphopopotamus when he's freestylin'. And that was pretty much the game. Marc allowed 3 quick goals after that point and let a frustrated Vegas team break away to claim the win. Talk about a bad day at the office . . . But a great job by the defense in getting the rebounds out.

And speaking of bad days - Um, power play? Where did you go? Four 5-on-3 situations and only one goal?

Giffen Nyren had a good game, scoring both Utah goals that COUNTED (we're still confused about the one that was waved off); but we were also delighted to hear what Colley had to say about Giffen in the post game: "He's got a nice shot . . . he just needs to pull the reigns back though. He's a bit of a riverboat gambler - he just needs to let the puck do the work, trust his teammates, and not try to do too much." Yeah, Giff - good job, but stop with the fancy.

And now for the important business: Parnham - NOO!! Not sure what got injured on the kid, but he looked like he was in some serious pain. The team is gonna feel it with Brett out of the line. Hell, we refer to him as "Visa" over here: he's just everywhere you want to be. Hope he's feeling better soon.

So, this wasn't the big comeback game we'd hoped for against the Aces.

In fact, we didn't get to see it. The weather was against us, the B2 was against us, and we figured it was all just as well. Though we were sad to miss Parnham's goal, which apparently earned him 3rd star of the game.

Looks like former Grizzlies Tyler Ruegsegger had himself a game: 3 points (1g, 2a) in a first star of the game performance. Nicely done.

Post Game: Grizzlies 2, Thunder 1

Grizzlies win against Stockton. Sweet.

This was definitely a disciplined game against the Thunder. Only six minors were committed by Utah during this game and only one power play goal was allowed by the Grizzlies. This is how we like to see Utah play against Stockton. While the Thunder outshot the Grizzlies in each period, Utah didn't allow any major momentum changes throughout the game or allow Stockton to control the emotional level of the game. We hope to see this going into tomorrow night's game as well. Keep your heads, boys.

Another great game by Engelage, who only allowed the one power play goal on 28 shots. Amazing.

Parnham continues his goal streak as well, scoring the game winner for the boys and tallying his 14th of the season. That puts him on top of the bunch for goals scored in 2010-11. This makes us happy - we like Brett Parnham.

Rematch tomorrow at 8:30pm.

Post Game: Grizzlies 5, Wranglers 0

Grizzlies win.

We can honestly say we weren't expecting this one. We thought the game would be a bit tighter, but the Grizzlies really broke out here to make for one amazing game. Denny said that the boys caught Vegas on an off night, but we'd rather look at it as Vegas caught Utah on an ON night.

The name of the offensive game for the Grizzlies was timing. Timing made Carpentier's goal work, we can't say enough about May's timing on the shorthanded goal, and Parnham swooping in just in time to push a rebound in for the fourth goal was brilliance. Both Deeth (3a) and Ferguson (1g, 2a) had three point games, while Hugo picked up 2 points (1g, 1a).

Engelage was on fire: 40 saves for the shutout. And while the boys may have hung Andy out to dry a bit in the 3rd as Colley put it, we have to say that they made just as many necessary defensive clears on rebounds as Engelage made saves. Just a great performance from everyone.

On to Stockton . . .

Wall-E and some milk

The Grizzlies split their recent games with Idaho. Half isn't bad--the glass is half full, there is still more to drink! Or to dunk cookies in, whichever floats your boat. Here is a quote that compliments the team (courtesy idahosteelheads.com)

In the third period, we saw a prime example of why the Utah Grizzlies are the top team in the Western Conference at the moment. Idaho's Tyler Ludwig lined up for a slap shot from the blue line, and Brett Parnham, a 5'9" goal scorer who once tallied over 50 in an OHL season, dropped to the ice and put his body on the line to block Ludwig's shot. Parnham was successful in his attempt, and the puck bounced out of the Utah zone in into neutral ice on a play that demonstrates why Utah, who lacks the offensive firepower they've had in previous years, is atop the division and conference.

Well here's an interesting theme night: Robotics Night. Yes, you read that right, robotics. A robot will doing a ceremonial puck drop. I think it would be interesting to go to that, since robotics teams are going to be on the concourse displaying their robots. Unfortunately, South Carolina is a little far away to drive to by tomorrow.

Abbotsford released JD Watt (F) from his contract yesterday. He decided he "was no longer interested in pursuing his career with the Calgary Flames organization."

Post Game: Salmon Kings 4, Grizzlies 3

Grizzlies lose, but take 4 of 6 points for the weekend.

Utah didn't seem ready coming out in the 1st, but their play picked up beautifully in the 2nd and 3rd. Lamoureux was switched out for Engelage at 15:40 in the 1st period, but to JP's credit, we didn't see anything in the goals he allowed to make such an early switch. Perhaps Colley could tell from Lamoureux's play that it just wasn't his night. We'll leave that one for the coaches.

Our favorite part of the night was definitely the Kilburg fight, especially the part he got the 10 minute misconduct for. The boys hit the ice and Kilburg comes up swinging. Poor Victoria is attempting to hide between the ref's legs when they're finally able to pull Kilburg away. Rage. We found it clipped on YouTube from prairiedog26:



We really need to comment on how awesome Brad Snetsinger has been doing. He tallied a goal and an assist in this game, but we noticed over the past three games his ability to create a turnover by snatching the puck away from the opposing team with panache. And the best part is, he looks so bored all the damn time. Has anyone else noticed this? Anyway, nice job to Brad on his work this weekend.

That's all we have to say for this one.

Post Game: Grizzlies 4, Wranglers 1

And Utah completes its sweep of the Wranglers.

While we know the boys have it in them, we weren't expecting this, particularly with the slow start the Grizzlies had in the 1st. But Utah picked things up and by the 2nd period, the match was looking a lot more like Wednesday's game.

The PK was looking sharp once again, killing all 5 short-handed situations.

Matt Clarke was awarded a goal after being smacked down in front of an empty net. It seemed a bit odd to us, but apparently it's standard to award a goal if a player is hauled down on an uncontested breakaway in front of an empty net. Hey, we're not going to complain.

Andrew Engelage was on his game tonight, stopping 38 of 39, with the one goal allowed a serious beauty of a slapper through traffic from the point. Any other chances Vegas had were stopped short by the 6'5" goalie, whose save percentage now sits at 0.923. Awesome job.

Victoria tomorrow night at 7:05pm.

Post Game: Wranglers 3, Grizzlies 2

Um, Grizzlies? Where were you tonight?

Earlier in the season, we got used to Utah going up by a count of 2 or 3, then blowing their lead. Tonight, they seemed to sit back after a one goal lead and nothing seemed to shake them out of this mindset.

Let's talk about the stellar 5-on-3 kill. Utah had two defensemen in the box, and managed to kill a 1:46 shorthanded situation with few changes, two forwards, and one defenseman on the ice. Both the crowd and the benches were on their feet for the full situation. Yet this didn't change the momentum. We thought the boys would be at Def Con One after this kill, but no such luck. Surprising.

It just seems like the mental game is not there for Utah at home like it is on the road, particularly the last road trip. Granted the boys have had some upsets in their roster, adding two new defensemen and a good portion of the team out with injuries (or suspensions), so it may take a game or two for the changes to meld.

However, the Grizzlies still have some very strong players in place - Parnham, Ferguson, Snetsinger, Tim Crowder, Ruegsegger, Tuzzolino, Carroll, Fredricks - and that's only naming a few of the top of our heads. So we just expect more from these boys.

Lamoureux was amazing again tonight. 41 of 44 saves and a 2nd star of the game performance. Vegas's late 3rd goal was a hard one to take with his performance through the rest of the night. Overall, beautifully done.

Tomorrow against Ontario. Let's go.

Cheap food and other news

You know what cheap food means? Long lines at the concession stands. This weekend, hotdogs, corndogs, tacos and beer will be cheap at the Maverik Center for the weekend home-stand. ($0.50 hotdogs! $2 beer if you're into that sort of thing)

Anyways, onto the real news.

Congratulations to Brett Parnham, our newest player of the week! That's right, fans, two Grizzlies have been named the ECHL player of the week already this season. Parnham's nomination could have something to do with the hat trick he scored during last weekend's awesome round of games.

The Grizz are currently second in the league for scoring on the power play. The team has been doing amazing this season, so keep up the hard work for this weekend, boys!

Players missing from the line up for a game or two: Paul Crowder and Brent Gauvreau were placed on the injured reserve. Send these two good vibes to aid their healing. Chris Donovan was suspended for a game. He'll miss Thursday's game against Las Vegas.

Post Game: Grizzlies 7, Reign 3

Woo, Parnham!

The Grizzlies really dominated this game. The speed ran much slower than the previous games on the trip, so Utah was able to keep control at the pace they wanted. In fact, the Grizzlies were so dominant that we fell asleep for a bit in the 2nd period, but let's talk about the power play.

The boys were able to score on 5 of the 7 man-advantage situations awarded to them, which is phenomenal, particularly since those goals were on successive power plays. In the situations where they scored, the boys looked completely in control of play for the duration. Two of Brett Parnham's three goals came on the power play, and Jackman picked up three assists as well. Beautifully done.

And of course, we need to mention that Brett Parnham picked up the Grizzlies second hat trick of the season. His angle on the Grizzlies second goal was nothing short of brilliant: from one knee, while moving, right to the back of the net. Highlight reel, anyone? Congrats to Brett!

The Grizzlies bench showed up on Ontario's Kiss Cam last night. Matt Clarke seemed overly excited, and ended up pointing and waving like any other fan who found themselves on the jumbotron would do - we were amused. Most players don't notice when they're on the jumbotron; Ontario still takes the cake for puckering up on the Grizzlies' Kiss Cam a few seasons back.

Now bring some wins back home for us, boys!

Post Game: Grizzlies 3, Stockton 2

What a great game!

Even if the boys had lost, this was an incredibly entertaining match to watch. The Grizzlies played a full 60 of hard, fast hockey. Not only did they escape their usual 2nd period slump, Utah recovered beautifully after Stockton's second goal of the night.

In the 3rd, JP Lamoureux was the game winner, earning himself another well deserved first star of the game. He made with some epic saves and redeemed the Grizzlies from more than a few sloppy mistakes which could have resulted in a game tying goal. Lamoureux stopped 34 out of 36, including a perfect 20 of 20 in the 3rd. Nicely done, JP.

Parnham also picked up another 2 point (1g, 1a) game, along with Simon Ferguson (1g, 1a). And Donovan with help from Deeth and Carroll picked up a little extra insurance at the end of the 2nd to help propel the boys toward the win.

Back to Bakersfield tomorrow night. See you at 8pm.

Post Game: Grizzlies 3, Condors 1

Well, hello Brett Parnham.

Grizzlies came out and played a full 60, which was nice to see after their home debacles. While the top of their 2nd period could still use some work, they were able to bounce back rather nicely and add a goal in the 3rd for the win.

The boys did a great job on the power play, with 2 of their 3 goals on the man advantage. Brett Parnham really turned things up, picking up both power play goals on his second game back. (We thought Tim Crowder had one of those, but it looks like they both went to Brett.) Marcus Carroll added his 3rd goal of the season to snatch the win from the Condors, 3-1. The Grizzlies had an additional goal, but it was waved off as the refs assessed it to be thrown in.

JP Lamoureux had a great comeback game, stopping 27 of 28 and earning himself the first star of the game. We also need to highlight Ferguson's fight, and his razzing of the crowd as he made his way off the ice. Nicely done.

Grizzlies lose.

There's really not much to say about this one. Utah looked pretty good in the 1st, then rapidly deteriorated in the 2nd. The boys came out with a slightly better 3rd, but it just wasn't enough.

The fans expressed their dismay by throwing their bears for the Teddy Bear Toss on the ice after the Ace's 5th goal. Ouch.

Wanted to give a shout out to Brett Parnham for his first game off of the IR since the last time the boys were at home. Parnham played some good shifts and made some great hits on Alaska. And also, we'd be remiss if we didn't post the one highlight of the game - the Marcus Carroll fight. Our favorite part is the dap he gets from Wilson as he leaves the ice. Nicely done.

Game Day: Idaho Steelheads

Ah, the Idaho Steelheads.

After splitting a two game preseason series with the Steelheads, the Grizzlies look to start their 8 game road trip on the right foot. According to Adrian's blog this morning, it may be an uphill battle: "Last year, Utah was outshot 361-252 in 10 games played here and outscored 10-7 in the first period while being outshot 110-68 in the opening frames." On top of these stats, Idaho's goalie Mike Zacharias is tied for fifth in the league with a 2.01 goals-against average, which means Utah will need to look sharp in all areas tonight.

The Grizzlies picked up some new help this week in the form of defenseman Nick Tuzzolini and forwards Kevin Deeth and Tyler Ruegsegger. D-man Tuzzolino is no stranger to Grizzlies fans, having spent 2 seasons in Alaska and should add to the experience of the defensive lines. Deeth adds speed and a strong, accurate shot to the front end, while Ruegsegger brings an ability to take the puck to the net for the goal. This will be much needed with Parnham out on the 21-day IR. We found a nice goal of Ruegsegger's on YouTube and fans should recognize former Grizzly Tom May in the clip as well.



Andrew Engelage will get his first start of the season. Derlago is the man to watch out for, leading the Steelheads with 4 goals.

Game starts tonight at 7:10 pm, and the pregame show at 6:40, on 1230 KFAN-2 or you can watch online at the B2 Network which is probably what we'll be doing . . . after we finish traffic school.

Go Grizzlies!
