Well... Oilers send to Griffins max four players. To other four afiliaste teams [Hamilton, Iowa, Milwaukee i Wilkes-Barre/Scranton] they porobably send the same number of players.

Hudler, Bootland, MacDonald, Lebda, Kopecky... not. Lebda and MacDaddy will be in Wings roster on 100%. Rest of guys probably will be too, because all of them must go through waivers. Babcock said that he wannt Hudler in the team and he needs a guy like Bootland or Norton. Kopecky like Booter has great size and play the best season in career

Hm, Griffins this season looks really good, maybe not like a year ago, but it' s still good team. I wanna see how will play Filppula - the first offensive star in this club after Hudler and MacLean era []. Stefan Liv and Jimmy Howard will be great compare this two in this year - both should be in Detroit for year, two or even three, I don't care when, I wanna see this two in Hockeytwon someday because they have very big potential. And at the end... Lebda in Griffs or Wings? I know that in 3rd will play Lilja/Markov and Chelly, but grandpa Chelly is too old for playing 82 games on NHL level, Lebda is still young and have an experiance... be cool see him in red Wings jersey again Sorry for my poor english, hope you understand what I have written here

This season in Griffins net will be Jimmy Howard and Stefan Liv... nobody else. I wrote on my blog aboout Drew MacIntyre problems when to Griffins arrived Liv. Liv has very good season in Sweden, Howard and MacIntyre has good season too, but Howard is more potential player than Drew. Drew never will be play on NHL level... never ever [i like Drew very much, but he is not the NHL goalie and won't be]. Probably the first goalie in Griffis will be Howard, but Liv will be play often. Sorry for my english

I think loss game 2 is probably end of this series Two loss game in home and win series is very hard to do, especially when on the ice are that good team like Milwaukee.

In my opinion both - MacLean and Lebda - play below the expectation. Lebda played half season in the NHL, so I'm expecting from him more than he's playing in the playoffs. Don scored six goals, but he is not the same player who he was in the regular season. He is not the MVP. He is not the best Griffins player on the ice. I waiting for more from Donny. I waiting for the most important goals.

Yes or not. Remember Icer, that long recess in the playoffs may deduct team rhythm.

Another article about Drew: AHL on the beat

Joey MacIntyre? Rather Drew MacIntyre Drew very impress me in the last a few weeks. He's the pillar Toledo Storm in the Kelly Cup Playoffs and Griffins in there road for the Calder Cup. In the two games vs Marlies he was like Dwayne Roloson versus Red Wings in this year playoffs - unbelieved. Have spectacular saves in the right moments. Drew has gave the Griffis promoted to the second round.

I found few moments ago very interesting tally, the all-time home games attendance:

If I would live in GR I would go to every home game.

After two games Griffins has 14/14 penalty kill... great! I don't suppose that we have that good penalty killers... I heard good things about our 4th line with Oulahen, Keller and Himelfarb. Is it true, that they play very well in the two previous games vs Moose? P.S. Sorry for my very, very, very poor english...

The series between Griffins and Moose will be very interesting. In the regular season both teams has presented very good hockey. Griffis won five on eight games. Both clubs has great goltenders. We have MacIntyre and Howard, our opponent has Wade "The Wall" Flaherty. Griffs has better offense skills than Moose, but they've better defense. It will be amazing series

...and I voted for you

Oh yeah... Griffins will play in North Division final vs Maniotba or Syracuse. The heroes of the game six are Matty Ellis [two goals, GWG in second overtime] and Drew MacIntyre [he plays second straight game and won both, in game six he stopped 41/42 shots and stopped John Pohl on a penalty shot with 11:04 left in the third period]. Go Griffins Go - for Calder Cup!

"Greg Ireland was hunched over his computer inside the visiting coach's office at Ricoh Coliseum, breaking down 60 minutes of playoff hockey play by play." Ireland want to play the same hockey tonight as Griffs as played yesterday. Toronto played more physically than Grand Rapids, but we played very combined in offense and they didn't know to do with our attacks. We played very well in penalty killing - Marlies scored only one goal in 5-on-3. Howard made 35 saves and he was the best player on the ice. Go Griffs Go! Sory for my english

Game 3 torrent link: Grand Rapids @ Toronto

What a game! Triple overtime thriller... but the most important thing is that the Griffins has won 6:5! Donny scored two goals, Val has goal and an assist, Kopey has two asists. Howard was solid in the goal and he stopped 42 on 47 shots. His vis a vis Aubin was incredible, but he pass one goal more than Jimmy and he lost the game Tonight game No. 2 and I hope they win this game too

Red Wings home jersey is awsome!

FSN

Oh may.. tomorrow Griffins will be play first game vs Marlies. I'm very nervous but I think that we win this game. Griffins have very good squad - Howard, Helmer, Wilson, Donny, Kopey... Booter. But Toronto in this season beat three times Griffins in regulation time on six meetings - all wins in the Ricoh. They scored more goals [22] than Griffins [15]. Griffins as well as Toronto wins three games, but once in the overtime. The series between Grand Rapids and Toronto looks to be very excited and fierce.

Unfortunately Jiri didn't score yesterday and he still has 96 points and I don't believe that Jiri reach 100 points
