Regrettably, we didn't get a chance to see much of this amazing shut out due to family obligations. However, the extraordinary Alyssa took crazy mad notes for us starting at the 1st intermission which we will post below.Seriously, the notes are incredible. She took them like she would her notes for law school, so . . .
We only corrected or added player names where she missed them, and then added our own notes where we felt like it. (We did see part of the 3rd).
Idaho has a few video highlights up at their site: 2 of the Utah goals and the Sixsmith fight that Rome got suspended for. And of course some amazing saves from O'Keefe.
The official Utah Grizzlies post game is up at their site. Here's a link to the ECHL gamesheet. And Alyssa's notes are below.

NOTES
What a turn-around. At least in the bit we saw. Less than 24 hours later, the boys looked to be back on track to win. Awesome.
Kinasewich picked up another two goals. Sixsmith got one in as well. Kotsy had an awesome fight. O'Keefe shut them out. All this and more on their own ice.
What a comeback.
Go Grizzlies!

HA! Joan said Alyssa could take notes for the UN.
This is why Alyssa went to Gonzaga and NOT us.
