Yeah, because it's his offence that is the problem.

Actually 14 in 19, but yes, he's doing well.

Yeah well Rafalski's rubbish so that's not exactly saying much.

I'm so sick of Samuelsson on the PP. Surely we're deep enough to not have this glorified bum on the PP?

"If only they had used their powers for good, instead of evil.".

What. the. heck? For some reason I thought the period was over about 5 minutes ago, so I went away, did a few things, come back and the period is still going and we're down 2-0?

I take them seriously. Maltby and Cleary sound pretty impressive out there.

Filppula's flying out there.

I'm so disappointed the reverted back to the old lines, what a waste of time that was. I've got to admit, that was one of the reasons I was so looking forward to this game.

That sounds really bad, especially because he has been playing well. He must be a real handful off the ice, or on it during practice. However there is little doubt Detroit will bring him over at seasons end to let him start afresh.

Things are getting ugly for the Pistons. I'm already counting down the days until Iverson is gone. Just got to keep thinking about the massive amount of $$$ we'll have to spend at seasons end. Stuckey is playing well though, that's one positive.

Hardly. We all saw what Flip can do with Datsyuk last season when he went on that hot streak. 6 games, 8 points (at least a point in every game) and 6 goals. I'm confident that line will work.

Pretty disappointing two games for the Griffins. And to add insult to injury, Ericsson is out for a week.

Hamilton Bulldogs (14-8-1-0) @ Grand Rapids Griffins (12-5-3-3) @ On the back of last nights OT loss, the Griffins have moved into outright 2nd place in the North Division. Their opponents, the Hamilton Bulldogs, are a mere one point behind so this looms as a crucial match. The Griffins have earned at least 1 point from their past 6 games while the Bulldogs are on a three game losing streak. The Bulldogs have a few highly rated rookies including Ben Maxwell, Max Pacioretty and former defensive teammate of Kindl in Yannick Weber. 26 year old Yanick Lehoux is also one of the leagues leading scorers. Leino is still the Griffins leading point scorer but has gone pointless in 4 games and is without a goal in his past 17 games. This will likely be Chelios’ final game in a Griffins uniform as he is likely to be re-called to Detroit following the game. Probable line-up: McGrath - Abdelkader - Downey Leino - Helm - Haydar Ritola - Emmerton - Tardif Mursak - Gagnon - Oulahen Ericsson - Chelios Galvin - Kindl Stafford - Kolosov Howard Larsson Team Leaders: Goals: Haydar, Abdelkader (9) Wilson (8) Assists: Leino (16), Helm (13) Points: Leino (20), Helm (19) Penalty Minutes: Wilson (37), Abdelkader (35) Notes: • Chris Chelios made his AHL debut last night and finished with an assist and 2 PIM’s. • Darren Helm snapped a 5 game goalless streak last night. • Rookie Justin Abdelkader is on a three game point streak.

Always amazes me how much stock people put into pre-season.

Emmerton! First AHL goal! Griffins down 3-2 with 6 minutes remaining in the 2nd. Shots 22-15 in favour of Hamilton.

Draper, just FREAKING score. Seriously it's not even funny anymore.

Detroit 1:32, Valtteri Filppula 3 (Daniel Cleary) Detroit 4:33, Jiri Hudler 12 (Valtteri Filppula, Andreas Lilja)

Hudler has as any points as Datsyuk. That's insane.

Agreed. Football:

Can Detroit get it out of the zone? Thank goodness for this PP.

Miley sure is a star isn't she! What a start for the Griffins. 1-0 inside of a minute.

We've conceeded 4 goals 2 minutes into the SECOND period? What the heck is wrong with this team?
