Prospect Info: Grand Rapids Griffins 2013/14

[The Zetterberg Era]

Have a pretty good friend on the Admirals, lets just say they really dislike a lot of guys in our dressing room. Couple of the guys gave it too me good about being a Wings fan and some of the guys on this team when I was out with my buddy and a couple of his teammates at a bar. I laughed it off, but with them playing 10 times I think it will be ugly a lot. They were really upset about some of the things said during last months 5-0 dusting in GR. Kind of a powder keg waiting to happen after that. No surprise they went after Ferraro and Callahan a ton tonight.

Im going to guess Ferraro and Callahan are two guys they dont like too much. Hell, two young kids who run their mouths every game and arent afraid to scrap? Im sure the entire league hates those two.

Nice to hear that level of disdain on the Admirals. With that mindset, the Griffins should continue to dominate them

Highlights

Seemed to be a very chippy game

Did Grant blow that guy up. Both Evans and Grant won their fights pretty decisively.

I feel bad for Tootoo when ever I watch him down in GR. He seems like such a team player where ever he's playing and it's to bad he's stuck down there. I would love to see him on the 4th line over Cleary, Samuelsson or Emmerton as he would give them an identity with his speed and aggressive forecheck.

 

[Mount Suribachi]

No Nyquist, no Glendenning, No Eaves, no Mrazek- no problem! Griffs just keep on rolling on.

In other news, I love those Admirals uniforms, always been one of my favourites.

 

[Run the Jewels]

Sproul has more goals than the rest of the defense combined.

 

[Konnan511]

Grant kills a guy with a massive check, someone tries to fight him and grant kills that guy. What a beaut'.

Yeah that was awesome.

 

[Frk It]

That's pretty crazy

 

[newfy]

Seems like a typical Callahan game. Scored a goal and at least twice was the cause of a major scrum. Had the other team rattled, hes continuing to impress

 

[Jusek]

Boys playing some paintball, rookies had to wear skin-tight suits (ouch). Järnkrok...

 

[waltdetroit]

grifs up 2-0 nice move/pass from puks to Em Jarn got other

 

[Spitfire11]

People laugh off any suggestion of adding a tough guy to the Red Wings, yet GR seems to be doing just fine with a couple of them.

Because the tough guys in Grand Rapids can also play the game. They're not just some plug who'll only play 5 minutes and then sit on a bench the rest of the game,

Tootoo is a great 4th liner, solid 3rd liner. His impact on the Griffs is unbelievable.

Jarnkrok's thinking, "I wish I was back with Brynas..."

Well **** not asking for John Scott....Triston Grant isn't some rare breed of skilled enforcer.

 

[GoAwayDanCleary]

Ferraro has certainly picked it up lately, good to see.

For all the talk about Ouellet and Sproul around here, Marchenko might be our best defenseman prospect.

 

[GoAwayDanCleary]

Including Glendening, the Griffins have 13 players scoring at a .5PPG pace or higher

The thing is, Ouellet and Sproul "probably" have higher potential. I could see all three with bright NHL futures though.

 

[Konnan511]

I love Pulu's game. A great passer and fairly strong on his skates. Has a howitzer of a shot as well. He should have been in GR last year for the whole year, that extra year in Finland did him more bad than good.

Long-term. Pulkkinen a Red Wing? I know he's a hit or miss type of guy.

Curious where people think Backman fits in with those other three.

 

[The Zermanator]

Long-term. Pulkkinen a Red Wing? I know he's a hit or miss type of guy.

I think so. I've always had pretty high hopes for him, even after his numbers declined in Finland after his rookie season. I think he'll turn into a quality 2nd liner.
