By now the entire hockey world heard about Condor goalie Pielmeier's empty netter. Which, if we're going to be honest, was pretty damn amazing. Unfortunately, what will be overlooked is the incredible physical presence that the Grizzlies brought to the ice in the 3rd period. It seemed to be sparked by the 2nd Kinasewich goal, then fueled by his ejection from the game. The boys dominated the Condors throughout the 3rd, and even though they still came up with a loss, they showed the variety of play we'd like to see consistantly. The Condors had been playing a very different team up to that 3rd period; they didn't know exactly what to do once they had a real game on their hands. When Clarke Phaneufs some guy at the blueline and looks happy about it - game on!
We're taking that 3rd period as a sign that there are some happy wins around the corner. Snatch had 2 goals before being ejected, and Maxwell had 3 assists which is a new career high for the blueliner.
Read the official post game at the Utah Grizzlies' site, the gamesheet at the ECHL site, and our post game can be read below.

FIRST PERIOD
There were definitively less penalties this game as opposed to last game.
However, May opens it up on the first power play with a goal. 1-0.
Assists to Gannon and Carpentier on that.
We forgot a memory card for the camera.
So, we actually got to watch the game.
But without pictures, it's hard to remember exactly how things went down . . .
Grizzlies got another power play, but couldn't do anything with it.
Condors tie it up.
Boo.
Prokop gets a delay of game.
Maxwell takes a tour for hooking.
Killed.
Parker makes the save.
End of first. 1-1.

Overall, a sad period for Utah.

Anyway, the Grizzlies come off of that goal/penalty fallout turbo-charged.
