Grizzlies lose.The boys definitely tried in this one, but they didn't have the extra oomph needed to pull it off. When Clarke was thrown out in the 2nd, we didn't expect the 4 remaining defensemen to be able to continue at the pace they would need in order to win. The effort was there, just not the stamina.
Connelly kept the boys in the game as long as he could. His performance was very reminiscent of Sims's during Wednesdays game. The last few minutes were pretty deadly to his overall statistics but for the first 54, he was pretty much on fire.
Nice to see Tanguay get a goal.
Overall, this just seemed to be a game of tough breaks, but what can you do? Nobody's going to give anyone else an inch going down the stretch to the playoffs, especially not Utah. We felt tired just watching it, so here's to the boys getting a decent night's rest and making a comeback tomorrow.
Best of luck for Sunday.
