Prospect Info: Grand Rapids Griffins are AHL CHAMPIONS!

joe89 · May 10, 2013

7-0 final. Second straight shutout, 14-0 last two games. Heating up..

ChadS · May 10, 2013

I wonder if Pulkkinen was injured because I didn't notice him later in the game?

Great win, "the big steal"

I saw him in the 3rd. Last 3-4 minutes Griffins played the depth.

Two consecutive 7-0 wins wow!! This team has tons of potential especially if Mrazek can play strong. If Wings lose tonight can the recall Andersson and Nyquist? Not that they may want to after a grueling series against the Ducks.

Yep. They sent them down and then immediately called them back up so they'd be eligible.

ChadS · May 10, 2013

Apparently Lashoff has been sent down. Also, Nedomlel's ATO ended, Tvrdon was re-assigned to Vancouver and McCollum called up to Detroit. Pearce was the back-up tonight for GR. Link: http://theahl.com/stats/transactions.php?f_season_id=42&f_team_id=328

Imagine this...

Nyquist-Andersson-Jurco
Tatar-Sheahan-Pare
Hoggan-Ferraro-Mursak
Glendening-Aubry-Pulkkinen

Interesting, but obviously the right call. Lashoff >> Fournier.

I think Aubry would be out for sure, and probably Pulkkinen since they want to have a grit line.

Nyquist-Andersson-Tatar
Pare-Sheahan-Jurco
Ferraro-Glendening-Mursak
Grant-Hoggan-Callahan

Aubry brings heaps of grit. But...

Swap Callahan with Pulu, but Pulu's been too good to scratch IMO.

Don't think Callahan or Grant are coming out. Toronto already started gooning up this game. Callahan has earned major trust and penaltykills a lot. But it's up for discussion.

I have no problem with Lashoff being sent down but I don't want to see Nyquist or Andersson back down. Hell, I want Tatar in Detroit right now. We have a bunch of guys in their early 20s who need to play in the NHL, not the AHL.

Run the Jewels · May 10, 2013

With that being said, if Ken Holland wants to become the GM of the Griffins that would be perfectly fine with me.

If they're eliminated I'm pretty sure they'd rather play some more hockey than go golfing.

Instead of using the AHL to get prospects overripe, he will use another league to make sure the potential AHL'ers are overripe

Maybe we can send them down to the ECHL. Think of how much confidence they'd get crushing a crappy league like the ECHL! :sarcasm:

Didn't Q play in a minor league team that he owns over the lockout.

See!! It did wonders for him!!

FabricDetails · May 11, 2013

Hehe... A little smack talk from Tatar.

GoAwayDanCleary · May 11, 2013

Gotta love Tats, he was just being totally honest in the interview :laugh:

He doesn't take many breaths while speaking.

odin1981 · May 11, 2013

Is it bad everytime I hear babs or blashill speak I expect to hear a "reelgud"? :sarcasm:

PullHard · May 11, 2013

Tatar = Shia Lebeouf

I'm going to the game in Toronto tomorrow. Very excited!

If they manage to get to the finals, I think they'd face Syracuse Crunch. A team that has 6 or so players that are on par with Tatar, Andy, Nyquist. Eg. Can play in NHL but aren't big time contributors yet.

Was at Game 1 last night. Game 2 today as well.

Toronto came out strong in the first. Took a good 10m or so for Griffins to click in. Then they just dominated.

Tatar looks amazing I really don't get why he isn't with the Wings over Nyquist. Mursak showed some signs of life but I can see why he's not with the team. Pul looked good. The entire team was pretty good. The 8 days off for Toronto really shown in my books. I expect Toronto to come out swinging this afternoon.

I was tempted to wait beside the GR bus after the game but I wussed out.

More like over Cleary, Eaves et al.

Mursak has some really nice flashes, but then he disappears for big stretches. I can't put my finger on why, he's got the speed to be visible every shift.

redwings85 · May 11, 2013

Oh the hilarity of watching Lashoff warm up right now when he was a healthy scratch last night
