Grizzlies lose, but gain a point in a shootout.Fortunately, there was a season high crowd at the Maverik Center for this one because the B2 kept cutting out on us at home. From what we saw of the game, the boys looked good. Denny mentioned in his postgame that had this been a post season match that Utah would have taken it. We have to agree. The boys' energy during OT was phenomenal.
Unfortunately, the Grizzlies couldn't make it past Ouzas in the shootout. Vegas's goalie was more than on top of it tonight, and we have to hand the majority of Utah's defeat to his game. Utah definitely got their chances, tallying 34 SOG on the Wranglers' netminder. Nice job by Carpentier on getting one past him to spoil a shutout.
Would have liked to see a few better moves in the shootout. Thumbs up for Mendleson mentioning that in the post game.
We were looking forward to seeing the new d-men on the ice, but we didn't get to see enough of them to offer an opinion. We blame the B2.
Better luck next time, Grizzlies. Well played.
