Grizzly Game Recap - Game 1

Game one started off with a bang.  The Grizzlies fired a gym length shot from the starting whistle and scored top corner to take a 1-0 lead in the opening 2 seconds. Their opponents, the Puckers were on their heels from then on. The Grizzlies dominated the play for the remainder of the period, going up 2-0 after one.  Admiral Bonesaw scored a big goal one a nice feed from one of our new teammates.  Rek started the game at D and moved up to forward after the first to add some offensive punch and chemistry. The gym was hot and sweaty, probably around 35 degrees making running quite difficult. The Grizzlies had to maximize their efforts.

Rek and the Admiral eventually became line mates in the 4 on 4 game style.  Rek set up the Admiral for his second goal of the night on a nice passing play. The Beer Guy was snake bitten through the first half of the game getting numerous chances but not converting.  He finally broke through in the third period and buried a rebound for his first of the season.

The Grizzlies had a shutout going until the final twenty seconds of the game.  A giveaway at half court led to a goal for the opposing team. A disappointing finish to an otherwise triumphant effort. Final score was 6-1 for the Grizzlies.
