"I got a face full of plastic [Plexiglas] and was a little groggy on Friday but that's part of hockey and the risk you take playing the game," noted the six-foot-one Robertson, son of former CHEK sportscaster Alex Robertson.

"Those are the guys who need to play against the other team's top line and shut it down and they did," said Grizzlies head coach and GM Jackson Penney.

"That's the kind of hockey we must get from them and we got it. We rebounded from our previous game and worked hard against one of the top teams in the league and probably the top player in the league. Hunter Bishop could be playing in the NCAA right now. He's that good."

"There's a reason we've got the second-best goals-against total in the league and why we have to keep the score down -- because we're not going to score a lot. So we take great pride in our defensive play," said Penney.
