Dogs vs Grizzlies Updates - Final Score 3-1 Grizzlies

Final score, 3-1 Victoria. The Grizzlies improve their record in Exhibition play to 2 and 0. The Dogs record is 0 and 1.

My brief game summary is below. All in all,a good game, but an Exhibition Game for sure as the pace was off, the players were a bit off, and some players were certainly playing at a level they aren't ready for. At the same time it was a well played and spirited game by both teams. The goalies played well with Braedan Johnson playing all 60 minutes for the Dogs and looking good for the most part. Tanner McGaw was great for the Grizzlies. Next up, the Dogs host the Cowichan Valley Capitals on Friday at the Pound.

Grizzlies go ahead 1-0 at the 13:35 mark of the first as Michael Colatone bangs in a rebound in tight. Assists to Nick Buchanan and Gregory Simpson.

Bulldogs come back to tie it at 18:48 of the first on the power play, a nice short-side, high shot by Tyler Auricchio with the assist from Lars Hepso.

Brody Lynott gets ejected from the game with 20.4 seconds remaining in the first for checking from behind.

Grizzlies go up 2-1 on the power play with 3.7 seconds left in the first on a low shot far side by Joel Lowry, with assists to Scott Milnthorpe and Pearce Eviston

Grizzlies go up 3-1 on a shorthanded breakaway goal 2:14 into the second as Madison Dias goes backhand top shelf. Joel Lowry gets the only assist.

Another update. 3-1 with 14:02 left in the second. I just went to the concession and grabbed a treat while the game was on. It was a glorious experience, as it's just about the only game all year that I can do this, as we broadcast all 60 games!

6:08 to play in the second, still 3-1 Grizz.

Second period done, 3-1 Grizzlies after forty minutes. 

Big shorthanded breakaway save by Tanner McGaw on Lars Hepso with 6:45 left keeps it 3-1 Victoria.
