Post Game: Aces 4, Grizzlies 1

Grizzlies lose, but don't get shut out.

The boys 1st period looked much better than what we saw from them last night. Utah seemed to keep up with the Aces on the Olympic-sized ice and push the advantages they had. Also, the Grizzlies were playing a lot better in front of their own net during the initial 20, which allowed them to end the period with a 1 goal lead. However, Alaska rallied quick in the 2nd to add 3 goals in 4 minutes.

We have to give some coaching propers to Colley who utilized his 30 second time out to calm the boys down and stop the bleeding. Utah played better after this point, but weren't able to come back. The game seemed more psychological tonight than yesterday, as we saw some genuine effort before the crash and burn. Tough luck, boys.

Even when the Grizzlies were getting chances, they weren't getting past Alaska's goalie Coleman. We really can't say much more about that - the guy is on his game.

Let's go for Sunday, boys.
