Surrey Eagles 4-3 Victoria Grizzlies @ South Surrey Arena, Nov 4th

The Grizzlies would fall victim to the Eagles for the 2nd time this season in Surrey.
Although a hard fought effort, the Grizzlies big concern from tonight's game if they  went a miserable 0 for 10 on the Powerplay. Against a team like Surrey, you have to make a couple of those PP's count.
The first period would be see the Eagles take a 1-0 lead from a Steve Koshey powerplay goal.
Going into the 2nd period, Surrey would start to take control of this game through Port Alberni native Robert Lindeross and then Charles Orezetti goal 5 minutes later, would see Surrey 3-0 up.
The Grizzlies midway the 2nd period, would start to get a sniff at goal and would start there attempt at a comeback on a Braxton Bilious goal on the 10 minute mark. Bilious would then add a helper on the inform Coltyn Hansen's 2nd Grizzlies goal of the night, making it 3-2 Surrey now. Hansen, has turned into a valuable member of this hockey club and is starting to put some points up on the season.

With the game at 3-2 Eagles going into the third, it was all to play for. However, the powerplay would come in handy for Surrey again, as Hannoun would restore Surrey's two goal lead in the first few minutes of the third. With there backs against the wall, Captain Courageous Sean Robertson would make it 4-3 unassisted. The Grizzlies comeback would fall short there, but, not a bad performance overall.

Game Thoughts Grizzlies  - Going 0 for 10 on the PP isn't going to win you hockey games and in an already tight coastal conference race, this must and improve and quickly.
Stefan Gonzales made his Grizzlies debut tonight.

3 stars tonight - 1st * Robert Lindeross   2nd * Tyler Morley  3rd * Braxton Bilious (Adda boy Braxton)

The Grizzlies face off Saturday night against the Rivermen at the Langley Events Centre.
