Post Game: Thunder 3, Grizzlies 2

Grizzlies lose.

Turned this one off with about 10 minutes left in the final frame . . . which apparently is when all the good action started. The Grizzlies mounted a pretty decent comeback late in the 3rd, gaining their first goal from at 13:28 into the 3rd then following up with a shorty from Ferguson with just over 2 minutes left. Not bad.

Utah did a decent job in the first, slowing the Thunder down and playing the game they wanted to play. The boys tallied 13 SOG to Stockton's 12, and picked up zero penalties in the initial period. The trouble came in the 2nd, when the Thunder took over the game and Utah started committing penalties: 3 of their 4 shorthanded situations came in the middle 20. But the Grizzlies were able to pack a punch (literally, in some cases) in the last half of the 3rd we decided to miss. Damn.

Next game, next Thursday. Luck, boys!
