Alberni Valley 6-3 Victoria

Listened to the game on the radio tonight and sounded like a pretty even affair until the third period struck.
The Grizzlies, sounded like things had settled down and where competeing with the Bulldogs throughout the first two periods and leading going into the third.
 A Shorthander from Renner and in his second appearence for the Grizz, Alex Holland would add another in the first. Rockafellow with a nice pass to Myron put Murphy through  to keep the Grizz on top. That would be the end of any type of Grizzlies hope of winning this game.
 A four goal third period from the Dogs, really had Victoria on there heels for the rest of the game.
This included a two goal performance from Dylan Nowakowski acquired in a trade from Victoria in a three way deal with Prince George for Justin Fillion last season, showed how deadly and what scoring potential he could have in his final Junior year.
Needless to say the Dogs ran out comfortable winners on the night 6-3. Tough night for all concerned,but, a better effort than the first two game.
The immortal words which are sometimes spoken by any fan at the start the season is" It's gonna be a long season", I'll be honest that pisses me off a little. There has been a lot of roster juggling yes; and the team needs to gell and settle as I'd mentioned earlier. The ship can be turned around quickly.
What needs to happen now, is to stay positive and the guys to get to know each other a little better. Can these results continue, "hell no",but, on paper tthis team has the quality to compete in this league. Sooner rather than later would be the attitude on that one.
Come out and cheer the boys onto there first win of the season tomorrow night vs the Clippers at the Bear!!!
