PROMPT 2

Well, with the trade deadline long in the past for juniors, I will examine the Great Falls Grizzlies' deadline. Their deadline was actually incredibly quiet, with no movement whatsoever. In fact, the most recent transaction involving Great Falls was their picking up of a free agent goaltender by the name of Hank Stopper, who has played excellent in his first several games for the Grizzlies, notching an impressive record of 4-1-0, with a save percentage over .940. Since Great Falls made no moves at the deadline, one might think they were content to ride out the rest of what's been a fairly mediocre sophomore season for the expansion team, but the players have had other ideas. Since the deadline, Great Falls has been on a tear, going from a measly record hovering around the .500 mark, to a record of 33-24-1 through 58 games, going 8-2-0 in their last 10 games. The Grizzlies look poised to make a late run up the standings for a favorable first round matchup - or even a division title, if Carolina stumbles.
