IT WAS ONE HELL OF A GAME! If we were talking about guts then every one of the 13 Grizzlies who played against that very strong Coquitlam team would have weighed 450 pounds! It was a truly amazing effort by a badly depleted team with David Walchuck, Wes Myron, and Braxton Bilois out hurt, and one of our new players ...Mark McLellan down with pneumonia! Fortunately we had three amazing AP's helping out the team! You guys were absolutely terrific! Thanks to #91 CJ Lillies, #25 Dayne Ellison, and #5 Trevor Chown. Our entire team truly lived up to the Grizzlies motto “Respect all, fear no one” . Despite our loss I left the arena proud to be a Grizzlies fan! We cannot ask for anything more from our team except to give 100% effort and never give up! And what an effort they gave their fans Friday night! The few fans that came out on this miserable night definitely saw what a determined bunch of Grizzlies can do against Goliath! And Garrett Rockafellow-- you were also amazing tonight! Save after save you turned yourself inside out and kept the puck out. You are fast becoming a terrific goalie my friend. Keep up the good work! Jaden Schmeisser, way to go sticking up for your teammate like you did. I did not know you were a fighter, but after the number you did on that Surrey player remind me never to get on your wrong side! Kevin Smith, thanks for coming and helping the Grizzlies finish out the season. You are an awesome player and I really enjoyed watching you as you led the team. You are a natural leader—that is obvious even from up in the stands! And Cam Lawson- great goal and also an assist! And you were picked as Second star of the game! Congratulations! I could easily go on and on mentioning every player. I have never seen 2 lines play so hard for so long! It was a super game to watch! And the salute you gave to your fans after the game was greatly appreciated! You guys deserved the cheers that you got for that!
