Well, we knew it couldn't last forever.Things were actually going pretty well until Idaho score two quick goals late in the 2nd and completely changed the momentum of the game. After that it seemed the Grizzlies couldn't get their feet back. The boys landed themselves in 8 shorthanded situations, which allowed the Steelheads to pick up two power play goals within two minutes of each other during the 3rd.
We have to admit, we admired Marcus Carroll's attempt to get Utah back on track late in the 3rd. Carroll picked up a nonchalant goal after stepping out of the box, which showed us that the boys still had the skills to tie the game. However, the determination was definitely sidetracked. They were not the same team that we watched score a shorthanded goal to open the game.
Not much else to say about this one: lost a 2 goal lead, 13 shorthanded situations, 0 for 6 on the power play. Happy Birthday, Coach Colley.
