Utah Grizzlies vs Bakersfield Condors Post Game 12/11/09

Grizzlies lose.

We were going to think of something witty to say.


But we can't.


Yo billed this as a decent effort, but we disagree. This was not the same team that we saw against Idaho. Passes were sloppy, and we didn't even notice Kinasewich on the ice. Fortunately for the boys, Parker kept them in the game . . . for all the good that did. A lot of silent desperation


Official post game is at the Utah Grizzlies' site, the gamesheet is at the ECHL site, and our post game drivel is below.




FIRST PERIOD


Grizzlies start the period out with problems.
Basic stuff.
Issues controlling the puck, issues with passing, issues keeping it out of their end . . .


At least Hugo's throwing some checks.
Looks like he changed his number to 49.


Power play for Utah.
Nada.


Stoflet's playing tonight for Bakersfield. He's their #6.
Dale's number with the Condors is 5.


Romano tries to start a fight.


Not many penalties, but the Grizzlies get one.
Brooks for interference.
Killed, but Clarke and May get a nice shorthanded rush.
Probably the best play of the 1st.


We don't know what the hell happened with Bakersfield's first goal.
Romano stopped a puck, then hit the ice.
He's down . . . still down . . . still down . . . no whistle.
Bakersfield goes around him and shoots.
Scores.


End of first. 1-0, Condors.



First Intermission: Haggin goes one-on-one with Shea Guthrie.


SECOND PERIOD

For recap, see above.
Same issues, different period.

Condors score 34 seconds in. 2-0.

Yo's phrase of the night is "lurk on."
How exactly does one "lurk onto the ice"?
We should probably ask stealthmaster Perry that.

Surprisingly enough, Utah had the most SOG for this period.
We say surprising because Utah was playing the whole thing in their end.

Finally getting somewhere halfway through the 2nd.

Then Shea gets a goal. 2-1.
Beautiful set up, beautiful execution.
Points to Vlady and Parnham on the assists.

End of second. 2-1, Condors.




Second Intermission: Yo read our text. Wooo!




THIRD PERIOD

Grizzlies need to get things going in the 3rd.
Do we think it's going to happen? No.

The boys just can't stay consistant.
After some pretty average play by Utah, Bakersfield gets a goal. 3-1.

Then the puck gets stuck in Bakersfield's gear.
Kinda funny.
Especially when he tried jumping up and down to dislodge it from . . . where ever.
He has to go to the locker room to find the damn thing.

Grizzlies get a power play at the end of the 3rd.
Let's see if they learned anything from Ontario.

Nope.

Game.
3-1, Condors.


We have no stars of the game.


NOTES

Meh . . . we don't wanna talk about it.

Better luck next time, boys.

Go Grizzlies!
