The Panthers goalie, Scott Clemmensen, was a brick wall. He stopped 40 of 41 shots, many against 2-on-1 breaks and point blank pressure. Coyotes goalie Ilya Bryzgalov also stopped 36 of 37 although he didn’t face the kind of pressure Clemmensen did. Scoreless after the first period, 1-1 at the end of regulation and OT, we were treated to our first shootout of the season.
Clemmensen got the job done in the shootout as well, and Florida won after round 5 of the shootout 3 goals to 2. Florida became the first team we’ve seen on this tour to win on road ice.

After the game we found our new friend Bill who whisked us back to the Sheraton for our now traditional post-game movie (Secretariat). A leisurely morning in the pleasant desert sun and home to Seattle.
Strange thing we saw: The mouse running around under our feet in the arena.
