I remember when back in Sept./Oct. we were saying the Griffens would be elite, a monster team. 7th in their own division at 12-15-2. Milwaukee leading the central at 22-4-3. Not sure what that says but darn.

Yah its kinda dissapointing but there are 2 things:

1. AHL relies very heavy on veterans, at least GR has over the past decade
2. The young guys need time to develop

The young guys generally aren't gonna get 20 minutes a night.

Does not help Rasmussen is injured again (Colaiacovo V2).

Also that defender carousel in Detroit is affecting who is available for GR.

Larsson isn't even playing in GR, he is down in Toledo. Pat Nagle and Pickard are the 2 in GR at the moment.


Hopefully things pick up for GR soon.

 

[Polish-Hammer]

Pickard, Zadina, Lashoff called up for the game.

 

[Polish-Hammer]

Mantha out 4 weeks after that Toronto game.

Fabbri was fined for spearing during same game.

AA reportedly took a run at a Leaf and extended his leg in an attempt to make connection.

Leaf turned away and lifted his leg nearest AA avoiding going knee on knee.

 

[Polish-Hammer]

Seider had 3 assists at the World Juniors today.

The Czechs did a good job of roughing up Stutzle who is their best forward. Only problem is taking too many penalties doing so.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Glad for Mo. Not so much for Mantha. Injury prone or just bad luck.

 

[Polish-Hammer]

Both.

But that's the 3rd time he got hurt doing a scuffle. He already hurt himself a couple times in fist fights.

That Muzzin incident was stupid cause Bowey went down to a clean hit and wasn't even hurt.

 

[Mitchrapp]

2-1 Detroit after one. Helm & Larkin with the scores. 17-18 sog for Detroit.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Got a shorty, Neilson but gave one back (couldn't clear puck) up 3-2.

 

[Mitchrapp]

3-3.

 

[Mitchrapp]

About 6 seconds late 4-3 them.

 

[Mitchrapp]

4-3 after 2. Comeback time.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Apparently the refs aren't calling penalties.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Had their chances late we score with Howard en with just under 5 left and had other chances but lose 5-4.
