Grizzlies lose.Utah had all the luck on their side in this one. They got all the bounces, all the openings, and they still couldn't get the job done. The Grizzlies 1st period was pretty clean, considering the 1-0 Alaska scoreboard. The 2nd was riddled with penalties that slowed down the boys, even though Utah managed to tie things up.
We have to give major propers to Alaska for their grit. After the Grizzlies scored their 3rd goal to take the lead, the Aces put the pressure on, never stopping until Wes Goldie (or as we like to refer to him the-worst-trade-Victoria-ever-made) snapped away from the Utah defensemen and popped in two to bring the game home.
Once again, Brock played the wildcard. Two goals were scored during his penalty: a shorty for Utah, then a power play goal for Vegas. Then the kid picks up Utah's 3rd goal. Seriously - he's the Charlie Kelly of the team. Ye-haw!
But overall Colley wasn't too happy: "These guys are getting paid, they had a good break. We gave them the days off to rest the bones and some guys didn't sacrifice a drop of sweat tonight."
Ouch.
