I'm a bit shocked at just how bad the Flyers are. So much talent, so little results.

Griffins down 2-1, not a good penalty to take by Ehrhardt when he's meant to be playing himself into a regular role. I see Nylander has already improved the PP. Griffins are one short tonight, I assume Crosty is on defence and they are double shifting certain forwards.

Mattias Ritola says hi.

Wow, whole lot of ice-time! I love it how he's playing in all situations now, PK and PP. He's become a very important part of our PK and is a big reason as to why it's turning around. Love Eaves!

3 IN A ROW!!! GO WINGS!

Don't worry guys, if it goes to OT, Bertuzzi will go 3/3.

Eaves is so freaking good.

Wow, so very disappointing. He's obviously got potential so 5 points from 17 games isn't a true reflection, it's juat that he just didn't want to work hard. What a shocking attitude he has. Not worth the effort.

Not really, no. Tatar is leaving for the WJC now and he will leave a hole, Nylander the perfect replacement. Nylander will control a struggling PP and there will still be a lot of time for Mursak, Emmerton, Ritola ect. Don't forget that he's already been here, we went 5-0 with him in the line-up, and he helped jump start a few seasons. At the end of the day it's about getting our prospects contributing AND playing in a winning environment. Nylander should go a long way towards ensuring that we're a successful team. I like this move a lot.

My last three weeks have been awful, maybe home teams next week! The two major upsets were Toronto over Washington and Florida over New Jersey. From memory only one person picked Florida and only 2 or 3 picked Toronto. Swayze was insane on Saturday, I think the only one he missed was Buffalo.

This is really good news. Our PP is struggling and he'll improve it significantly. With Tatar going a big offensive void needed to be filled, perfect timing. Ritola - Pare - Mursak Emmerton - Nylander - Axelsson Rismiller - McGrath - Williams Vigilante - Newbury - Tardif Looks about right.

He's back! I really like this!

Grand Rapids Griffins (16-10-0-0) @ Toronto Marlies (12-9-2-2) 5:00 pm EST Some energy from the outset would be much appreciated.

7-2?! Sweet indeed! Tatar G+A (interesting whether they change it JM), Mursak 3 points, Pyett 2 goals, Pare goal and 2 assists. Disappointed that Kindl and Ritola didn't get in on the domination!

Milwaukee Admirals (12-8-1-4) @ Grand Rapids Griffins (16-9-0-0) 8:00 pm EST Can the Griffins claim their 4th straight victory?

Where have you heard/read that? It would be a much welcome addition because our PP is pretty ordinary right now, we're ranked 4th but it was the leagues best when he was here.

Yeah I'd have to say Fedorov, he scored a ton of OT winners during his career.

He's happy here and it shows. He's been getting quality chances since the start of the season but it's only now that he's starting to get some bounces go his way. Confidence is such a massive thing in sport and he's playing with a ton of it right now.

Great thread this, really accurate stuff. Onya Bert, stick it up the haters.

I TODD BERTUZZI!

I'm assuming he got the game misconduct because his jersey came off, I think that's how it works. Missed Janik's fight unfortunately. Griffins lost 3-1, Milwaukee scored an empty netter. Larsson was very good but got no help. Griffins had a few great chances to tie it at the end, they had in in their zone for an eternity but an Admirals player got hit in the face by a puck. Pare had a golden chance on a centering pass with the goalie out of position but missed. Griffins play again tomorrow so lets hope for a better effort.

Freaking heck. Tied up.

He actually did alright, the other guy had his jersey over his head though. Then Newbury lost his completely, bit of a mess. Griffins are so, so bad tonight. Kolosov had an AWFUL turnover on the 2nd goal.
