Win. And tied for first in the league with points.We'll admit that we're quite spoiled with the Grizzlies power play percentage against Ontario, having 100% on the man advantage in their first 5 chances earlier this season against Ontario and going 3 for 5 last night. But honestly, any time you can pick up 3 power play goals in a game your really can't complain about your special teams and the work they do.
While we generally just assume Nick Tuzzolino as a given for awesomeness, but we really wanted to give him special notice for his work on the 4-on-3 in the 1st - that is until he broke his stick. Tuzzolino was everywhere the puck was and with his size, he made it virtually impossible for Ontario to get set up around the net. Tuzz also picked up an assist in the game. Nicely done.
And what can we say about Simon Ferguson. He earned every bit of that hat trick. After being genuinely skeptical at the first of the season of Simon, we've become quick fans of the winger. After his third goal was waved off, we weren't sure if we'd get to see Fergie get his reward, but like a pro, he went back to work and secured himself the hat trick. Congrats, Simon!
Also, wanted to give a shout out to James for chatting with us on the B2 during the game. Good times.
