NOTES

We're starting to see the kind of consistancy we like from May. He's picked up points in the last several games, and he had 9 SOG last night with one goal. This is how he should be playing. We hope he keeps this up.

Grizzlies are going to have to get it together in order to beat Alaska again. The boys took too long to warm up and start making the plays they needed to in order to win. While Utah has been slow to start this season, this is something we'd like to see change. We know they can beat Vegas, but now we've got a different team to deal with.

However, all that being said - nice win, boys!

Go Grizzlies!
