The Pielmeier: Timo Pielmeier scores goal

As a sidenote, I've been pretty bad keeping up on our minor league goalies but this is something that cannot be ignored.


Condors 6 Grizzlies 4

Timo Pielmeier scored a goal to seal the deal in Utah against the Grizzlies, it is his first goal of his professional career. Pielmeier scored it on an empty net who shot it at the length of the ice as he made it impossible for the Grizzlies to tie it up again with the extra man attacker. As if scoring to tie up the game wasn't impossible enough for the opposing team as they had less than five seconds left as Pielmeier scored barely before the buzzer sounded. Everyone likes scoring goals and for a goalie to score a goal is an absolute euphoric feeling. Just the look on their faces says it all and/or the extra spring in their jump they look like a kid in a candy shop. The Condors are currently the best team in their division and 3rd in the entire league.

Pielmeier and the Condors are having an excellent year; he is definitely a goalie to that the Ducks should consider bringing up if a either Giguere or Hiller is injured. We also have Justin Pogge who is the Ducks No. 3 goalie as he has come from Toronto. Pogge was called up as an emergency backup to Jonas Hiller when Giguere went down with a strained groin injury. Pielmeier has yet to be called up for the Ducks regular season game and Pogge has yet to play a regular season game for the Ducks. Anaheim is jam packed with goalies in the system and the best thing is they're all young, with the older goalies keeping them back in the minors just about all the Ducks' prospect goalies have a chance to make it to the NHL. Epsecially the ones who were invited to camp: Justin Pogge, Timo Pielmeier, J.P. Levasseur, and Marco Cousineau.
