this is great! go GR!

 

[Henkka]

Best ever. I just got killed with that JAWS = Sustr

 

[Vladdy84]

Go Griffs!

I hope AHL Live has the feed from Syracuse. Wanna hear that brilliant announcing duo whine and meander again!

 

[Unfriendly Ghost]

The normal Syracuse announcers have been replaced by the CBJ guys, looks like.

 

[LeighDx59]

Hoping for a win tonight, though I am kinda hoping this goes to five and the Griffins end it saturday. So conflicted right now!

 

[Filppula]

Oh my gosh. Best GDT ever!!!!

Seriously, incredible. Massive Bond fan so I lost it. And all the Bond villains, just so good!!!

Flashy you are the best!

Go Griffins!!! The Crunch will come out so fired up, we HAVE to be switched on from first puck drop. I trust Blash will have them fired up, as they should be! Massive stakes!!

 

[SoupNazi]

This is fantastic, Flashy!

 

[mottjm7]

Seriously>? how are you that brilliant!

I have the fortune of being there tonight! GO GRIFFS!

 

[Shoalzie]

Has it been brought up how much Andersson and Nyquist look alike? Especially with the playoff beards...

GO GRIFFS!

If the Crunch don't win tonight, I'm feeling a sweep...probably will be their best effort yet. They'll be in full desperation mode. These guys have been here before...I'd expect them to show tonight on the road.

 

[AlphaCatalyst]

Another great GDT

Good luck to you guys tonight. Although I think the Crunch are the ones who will need it.

 

[Petes2424]

The best part of this run by GR is it's being done by all the young guys. This isnt a team that has 5 older guys running the show.

No Gudas at morning skate for Crunch

Nice one Flashy Go Griffins 3-1 over the Crunch.

What's average age of this team? Gotta mid-20s I'd imagine?

 

[Detroit Sports*]

ken holland called GR today and asked if he could put in dan cleary for tomas tatar.

Yeah, eliteprospects has the team at 23.69 years old but that's including all the players at standby. By my quick count the 19 guys playing are just a hair over 24 years of age.

The depth veterans in Hoggan(35), Evans(31) and Grant(29) are bringing that number up. It's really only Paetsch(30) who's playing a rather big role among the veterans.

 

[Jacko95]

The best part of this run by GR is it's being done by all the young guys. This isnt a team that has 5 older guys running the show.

Neither is Syracuse.
Looking on both rosters, GR has a little older D, while SYR s bottom 6 is mostly filled by older guys.

But the young guys are running the show on both teams. And I reallylike that.

 

[Bob Probert Owns You]

Fantastic GDT.. Go Griffs!

Same Crunch lineup as Sunday, with Oberg in as the seventh defenseman

Do you think Tatar should play for Clearly during playoffs

 

[lilidk]

What's average age of this team? Gotta mid-20s I'd imagine?

Joakim Andersson 24
Tomas Tatar 22
Petr Mrazek 21
Gustav Nyquist 23
Landon Ferraro 21
Jan Mursak 25
Francis Pare 26

We have only Jurco 20

Great Kharma

I can see the Gus and Andersson thing, but Landon Ferraro with the beard is a dead ringer for Rob McElhenney as Mac on It's Always Sunny.

Hoping the Crunch pull out tonight's game or the one on Friday, as Saturday is probably the earliest I can make it to Van Andel.

 

[JmanWingsFan]

I'm gonna pull a Mindfly here and predict an 3-2 victory (Mainly because I want to go to the game on Saturday, of which I have tickets to...)
