He's being rested for playoffs I heard.

6:26 remaining in 2nd, Kindl with a goal and 2 assists. He's up against Saginaw, which features Jan Mursak.

Yeah they also feature Steven Cobeagle the Eagle.

You have to be careful about having a good game against that team, you may end up on the wrong end of the Patriot Act.

The Kitchener Rangers are up against the Sarnia Sting in first round of the OHL playoffs.

In the first game which was played yesterday, the Rangers won 6-4. Kindl was pointless however he was +3. Prior to this playoff series Kindl has 1 point and is -11 in 17 playoff games. So this is a big postseason for Jakub as there is a lot expected of him and his performances in the playoffs up until this point have been very disappointing.

I get to see Kindl tonight as the Whalers hand him and his team yet another loss

Game 1 @ Ply: 6-5 (Whalers 1-0)
Game 2 @ Kit: 3-2 (Whalers 2-0)
Game 3 @ Ply: TONIGHT!!!!

[Andy Pred 48]

yeh been tough on the Rangers. have outshot the Whalers both games and lost both. 1st 55-34 lost 5-6 and then 47-29 lost 2-3. Now don't this
sound all to familiar to Wings fans come the playoffs!!

[OsGOD]

Kindl was a non-factor out there... However he should of received an assist after James Neal shot a puck from the point and it hit Kindl square in the face... the puck deflected to an open Whaler and put into the net.

I dunno, my first impression of him was definitly not ready for the NHL in the forseeable future. There were many other defensemen on the ice tonight that looked better than him (on both teams). He does have a wicked shot, I will give him that.

But for now I would take Lilja over him and that is saying A LOT!

with that said... WHALERS UP 3-0!!!!!!!!!!

So the Rangers are eliminated 4-1 after losing Game 5 by the same score.

Kindl scored the Rangers only goal, however he was -2. He had 9 points in the 5 game series and had a total of 11 points in 9 playoff games.

So sorry Aussie_Wing, I didn't end up going to the game last night We went out to the bar instead and well the OHL game kinda took a back seat

Anyways you are correct, he got a goal in a losing effort.

Nooo! Ah well, not to worry!

[Coyote0106]

Word on the street (griffinscentral.com) is that we just signed Kindl...I'm sure it's just practice time, but with how our team has been playing lately, I wouldn't mind seeing him get a shot at playing.

do you think it could have just been a bad game for him? i was hoping he could come up and replace schneider next season.

[arin]

I think if the Red Wings front office said Kindl almost made the NHL from training camp LAST year... He's probably about ready to come up..

[Aussie_Wing]

Kindl

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. – The Grand Rapids Griffins on Tuesday signed defenseman Jakub Kindl to an amateur tryout and assigned defenseman Tom Galvin to the UHL’s Muskegon Fury.

Kindl will be available to play on Thursday when the Griffins visit the MTS Centre for Game 1 of the North Division Semifinals against the Manitoba Moose.

Will be very interesting to see how he fares. Good luck Jakub.

[Coyote0106]

Kindl

Will be very interesting to see how he fares. Good luck Jakub.

I really hope they play him. I'd love to see Norton, or Quincey scratched for game 1. Show the team that if you play like %#$^, you're going to get scratched...Maybe that will give us a chance in the series.

[Andy Pred 48]

Will be a very interesting roster for the Griffs. With Emmerton and Mursak signed to PTO's as well as Kindl. Will the coaching staff be bold enough to throw all 3 of them in?

[Griffin]

its unlikely that emmertson will play on the griffins in 07-08. he will proly play in chl next year and have a good shot at making the wings roster in the 08-09 season

[Coyote0106]

Well, I just got back from Game 3 of the Griffins series, and Kindl is a pretty good player. He is on our PP, and took a couple of good shots on net. He's definately going to be fun to watch.

[Andy Pred 48]

I see that Emmerton was left out for Hussey, but the kid Mursak was still in, is he getting much ice time and what do think of him, Coyote0106

Who is he being paired with and how much ice time did he get? So he had another assist tonight which makes 2 in 3 games, was +1 and had 4 SOG.
