Grizzlies lose.What a crazy game. And for about 30 seconds we thought Utah was going to win it. And then . . .
We looked everywhere for a clip of that accidental shorthanded Vegas goal Rinfret allowed, but no luck. Honestly, the poor kid was hanging in there until that crappy bounce. Then he lost all confidence like the Hiphopopotamus when he's freestylin'. And that was pretty much the game. Marc allowed 3 quick goals after that point and let a frustrated Vegas team break away to claim the win. Talk about a bad day at the office . . . But a great job by the defense in getting the rebounds out.
And speaking of bad days - Um, power play? Where did you go? Four 5-on-3 situations and only one goal?
Giffen Nyren had a good game, scoring both Utah goals that COUNTED (we're still confused about the one that was waved off); but we were also delighted to hear what Colley had to say about Giffen in the post game: "He's got a nice shot . . . he just needs to pull the reigns back though. He's a bit of a riverboat gambler - he just needs to let the puck do the work, trust his teammates, and not try to do too much." Yeah, Giff - good job, but stop with the fancy.
And now for the important business: Parnham - NOO!! Not sure what got injured on the kid, but he looked like he was in some serious pain. The team is gonna feel it with Brett out of the line. Hell, we refer to him as "Visa" over here: he's just everywhere you want to be. Hope he's feeling better soon.
