Grizzlies win in OT.This was a fun one to watch. Well, after the tying goal it was a fun one to watch. Between that first Grizzlies goal and the second one, it was a little nervewracking, what with the penalties and the not scoring and the minutes ticking down. But score they did to tie the game and send things into overtime, where the boys picked up the two points.
Not that we were excited to see all the penalties thrown Utah's way, but the penalty kill - damn. Throughout this game there were some massive penalties killed, particularly some amazing 5-on-3 shifts. While Ontario did pick up one of their two goals while the Grizzlies were shorthanded, the shift on the kill right before the goal was nothing short of spectacular. There was also a solid 2 minute 5-on-3 that Utah was able to shut down with some player sacrifice from Chris Donovan. Even injured, Chris couldn't get off the ice until an Engelage save and he still kept making those sacrifices. Now that's hard core.
We also have to give Ontario props. They definitely deserved the point that they earned from their OT loss. We'd say better luck next time, but . . . not sure that we really want that.
