Rough weekend for the Grizzlies, losing both games to the Wranglers. Two things come to mind when thinking over these games: Shoot more, and quit taking penalties at the end of the game. Sounds easy to us, right? On Friday, Las Vegas out shot the Grizzlies in the second period by some atrocious ratio around 4,395 to 4. Saturday, the Grizzlies were leading until the last 3 minutes, when they took some penalties which lead to Las Vegas scoring 2 power play goals for the win. Like I said, sounds easy to us office working, desk sitting, internet-surfing-for-hockey-news mortals.
In happy news, Saturday's game drew a big crowd as nearly 7,000 people (and a couple hundred dogs) watched the game. Over $12,000 was raised for the Angel's Hands Foundation.
More happy news: Andrew Engelage (who was called up last week to the Toronto Marlies) won his debut on Saturday in a shoot out, and again today saving 33 of 37 shots. Way to go, Andrew. Do we keep cheering him on, hoping he continues to do well and stay at this level level, or do you want him to end up back in Utah? It's kind of a catch 22, isn't it?
Our NHL affiliate, the Calgary Flames shut-out the Montreal Canadiens in the Heritage Classic yesterday. (Totally random note: I like the set up and look of that game re-cap page) It sounds like the game was a fun (like outdoor games should be), cold game. Good thing they had heated benches! The Flames are currently in a play-off position.
