Alaska, who we heard was the best team on paper before the season started, comes into Utah in the middle of a road trip where they lost the first three games in Bakersfield. They meet up with a Grizzlies team that has lost a lot of players recently, but has kept on winning anyway. Utah Goaltender Mitch O'Keefe was named the ECHL's Goaltender of the Week, so that won't help Alaska's cause either. (Congratulations, Mitch!) But the Grizzlies haven't seen the Aces since last season in the playoffs, so even though Utah's been on a hot streak, we don't really know how they match up against this team.
We do know, however, that the new guys are eager and ready to prove themselves, and that the team is always ready for a battle. The Grizzlies have shown that they're a really hard-working group that doesn't give up, so we expect another great game tonight. For a little more information, you can read Adrian Denny's Blog at the Utah Grizzlies Official Website. (We're not sure all that needed to be capitalized, but it was fun.)
The puck drops at 7:05 pm at the E Center. For anyone who will still be stuck at home preparing Thanksgiving dinner, you can listen on AM1230, or online.
Go Grizzlies!
