    Where can I find more detailed player stats from each game?

    If you first click on gamecenter on whichever game you want, then there are 5 tabs under the score, click on game reports, then event summary in the drop down menu.

    12/26 GDT: Chicago @ Grand Rapids

    I was only partly listening, but I believe it was said on the radio that Nylander returned to Sweden for the holiday, and I think they said his plane had a delay or something.

    Cory Emmerton

    Emmerton was one of my favorite players in Grand Rapids this season, I really enjoyed watching him play. I went to Grand Rapids several times over the last season, the biggest problem I noticed was that he was knocked down fairly easily. According to mlive, this summer he's going to Downey's potato farm with a couple other guys to work on his conditioning, hopefully he will add a bit more muscle this summer. I look forward to seeing him play again this season, I think he has a promising future as long as he keeps working hard. Link about Downey's potato farm Griffins Central Report on Emmerton

    Game 2 GDT: Grand Rapids 3, Hamilton 1

    Game 1 GDT: Grand Rapids 4 @ Hamilton 3

    We win 4-3! Goals from McCarty, Andersson, Abdelkader, Haydar. The line of McCarty, Andersson, Ritola sounded like they really clicked in the first period. They had two goals in the first seven minutes. I was excited to see Axelsson next week, I saw him play at training camp and was quite impressed, but they said he wasn't playing and has a broken finger and they aren't sure if he will play.

    Darren Haydar Article

    I found this article while waiting for the game to start. What a rough year it must have been for Darren, I'm glad to see that things are good for him and his girlfriend. http://www.thespec.com/Sports/article/549958

    Helm and Leino will play

    I am listening to the Griffins game right now and they just said they have an interview coming up with Curt Fraiser, the coach and he said he talked to Babcok yesterday and both Helm and Lenio will be starting the playoffs in Grand Rapids. I was really suprised about this because he said Helm would be in Detroit. I suppose if we have an injury or something he will be called up, but the plan as of now is that he will start in Grand Rapids.

    Ryan Oulahen injured

    The injury sounds terrible I just read that Garrett Stafford got called up to Dallas today, so they are with out him now too. Hopefully some of the injured guys will come back for the playoffs....

    Funny NHL Names

    My most recent favorite is Luca Caputi who has played a few games for Pittsburgh this season. I also like Cal Clutterbuck.

    Best Place To Sit

    My first Griffins game we went to we sat about 3/4 of the way up in section 104. We could see everything from there, but after that game I have always sat much lower in the lower bowl. My favorite place we sat was probably right next to the penalty box. It was the easiest place to see the whole ice and be close to the action. I have never sat in the upper bowl at one of the games.

    Where to watch Griffins games?

    The only luck I have had is when they are playing at Lake Erie, I have the sports package for the tv and when they play at Lake Erie the games are televised on FSNOhio channel.

    1/7 GDT: Griffins 6, IceHogs 5 - Shootout @ GR

    That sucks that it won't work for you. I haven't tried it yet. I'm about an hour away but I try to make a game at least every other week they are definitly a lot of fun and always a good game. The Griffins are up 2-0 within the first five minutes of the period.

    Parking?

    I am not at all familiar with Detroit so I have always parked in the lot right across the street I believe its the riverfront lot, or in the parking garage right next to the lot. The lot was $20 I believe to park in but was much faster to get out of maybe 15-20 minutes. Last time I went I parked in the parking garage because there was a good chance of snow and I didn't want to clear the car off and it took us about an hour to get out of the garage I believe it was $15. I live about 3 hours away and don't know much about the Detroit area so I always have parked here becuase I knew how to get there. I also have hear you can park at Cheli's Chili and take a free shuttle to the game I am not sure what parking costs.

    12/19: GR 6, MIL 3 - 12/20: GR 2, MIL 0

    I was at the game too and was really suprised when they said he was scratched. I believe that I heard when I listened to the game tonight that it was his shoulder. There was an interview during tonights game with Downey, he said he went after that guy last night at the beginning because of him hurting Abdelkader the night before.

    The Red Wings & Stanley

    My cousin called me and said I could have his tickets to the game tomorrow night so I will make sure I check it out. It looks like a really cool book. It looks like maybe you can call to order it. http://redwings.nhl.com/team/app/?service=...int_article_150

    Chelios To Play In Grand Rapids This Weekend

    I believe that I read he can get sent down for a maximum of two weeks. Ken Holland said in the article that he will be activated from injured reserve before Dec. 10 against Calgary so I am guessing that means he doesn't count against the cap.

    11/30 GDT: Grand Rapids Griffins 1 @ Chicago Wolves 0

    McGrath with a goal in the second period from Downey and Abdelkader.

    11/29 GDT: Rochester Americans 1 @ Grand Rapids Griffins 3

    Downey with a multi point game!! Abdelkader with the goal with assists from Downey and McGrath It sounds like he is playing on the second line tonight with Abdelkader and McGrath. All Aaron needs now is a fight for a Gordie Howe Hat Trick. Rochester just scored.

    11/29 GDT: Rochester Americans 1 @ Grand Rapids Griffins 3

    I am so excited for him! At the end of the first period the score is 2-0 Downey from McGrath and Ritola from Tardif and Emmerton

    11/11 GDT: Houston Aeros @ Grand Rapids Griffins

    It really doesn't help, but the guy from mlive says the following "I've also heard a rumour that the Griffins "waived" Aaron Downey to create room on their roster via a Snapshots reader, and that's not accurate--AHL teams don't waive players to send them down to lower minor leagues, nor could Downey be demoted as he has a two-way (NHL/AHL) contract, not a three or four-way, "send me anywhere" deal. It is entirely possible that the Griffins may loan a player to another team to alleviate their roster crunch, but trades are rare, and Downey can't be "loaned" anywhere without his and the Red Wings' consent." http://blog.mlive.com/snapshots/2008/11/gr...erton_reca.html I really don't understand how waivers work but I believe that last year he was waived twice towards the beginning of the year in case someone had to be called up, and each time he was waived it lasted for a month? I know he is not supposed to have to clear waivers if he gets called back up, but is that only for the month and then if they want to call him back up they have to re waive him? As I said I really don't understand waivers, I was just trying to figure out how he may have been put on them, does anyone have a better idea of how they work? I have checked around online and haven't been able to find anything about his status.
