Aussie_Wing 354 Report post Posted April 20, 2007 Well the Griffins lose Game One 1-0. Kindl, Emmerton and Mursak all played however I'm not sure how effective they were as not one put up a shot. Howard saved 28 of 29 shots and was named the 2nd star. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aussie_Wing 354 Report post Posted April 22, 2007 Howard is on fire and has been for some time. He's NHL ready next season IMO. Good to see Kindl with an assist too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Had no idea Mac was back in the AHL. Good for him! He always did a good job for us when we needed him. I've lost most my info about my Griffins since moving away from GR.

I've lost most my info about my Griffins since moving away from GR. I hope he does a good job for us tonight, and loses. I'd love to see him get pulled after giving up 4 goals on say 5 shots.

Coyote0106 2 Report post Posted April 24, 2007 Anyone at the game? How was the crowd? Pathetic. The ahl has it listed at 2754, but I doubt there were that many people there. The arena still made decent noise, with all the "die-hard" fans. Everyone was making noise during the penalty shot in OT, and during the fights in the second....man were we close to a goalie fight.

Kp-Wings 3 Report post Posted April 25, 2007 man were we close to a goalie fight. How ironic would that be, what with Howard and Mac being former teamates. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Coyote0106 2 Report post Posted April 25, 2007 How ironic would that be, what with Howard and Mac being former teamates. Tell me about it. I saw Drew start skating from his crease and got all geeked. Jimmy skated away from the scrum, and Drew went back to just watching...we were getting excited. How has Howard played? Howard has been awesome this series. He stopped 2 breakaway shots, to keep us in game 3. He has been playing really, really well. Its good to see. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andy Pred 48 337 Report post Posted April 27, 2007 I see the kid Mursak has been in all 4 p/o games so far. Has he impressed the coach's, would have thought it would have been Emmerton playing more. Is Kindl looking ready for the Wings next year? I hope that they all get a plenty of exp in GR these playoffs as it will help them for the future in Detroit hopefully.

sjradio 0 Report post Posted April 30, 2007 Manitoba scores in the first with a 5 on 3 goal, and then get an even strength goal in the second period, Norton scores with just over 3 minutes left to make the score 2-1, then Norton takes a penalty for charging with 1:08 left and we lose 2-1, Game 7 is Tuesday in Winnipeg.

sjradio 0 Report post Posted May 2, 2007 Game 7, Griffins start out flat. Take a lot of penalties - Moose score on one of the 4 first period power plays they got. Held a 1-0 into the third when Scott Parse ties it midway through the period. Grand Rapids looked like they took the lead a few minutes later. The puck appeared to be in the net prior to the Manitoba defenseman knocking the net off the moorings. Howard gives up a soft one with 6 minutes to go. After making a save on a breakway. Howard looked to hurt himself. manitoba would add another goal on a 3 on 1 rush. howard pulled for the 6th attacker. Empty netter makes it 4-1. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
spydrwebb 0 Report post Posted May 2, 2007 tough break for the hometeam. a lot of questions will be addressed in the offseason. it's tough to feel good after an early exit but the griffins should not hang their heads too low. they met a solid team and it was a fight to the end. congratulations to the griffins on another playoff run, hopefully next time will bring home the hardware.

Henkka 0 Report post Posted May 4, 2007 (edited) What was the best and most regular lineup during the season? I'm impressed about Jonathan Ericsson's stats. Huge physical guy, with same point total as Meech. Where they paired in the first pp-unit? I just have a feeling he will be our next draft steal. The last pick at 2002 draft. His card: http://www.redwingscentral.com/prospects/ericsson.html Edited May 4, 2007 by Henkka Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

His card: http://www.redwingscentral.com/prospects/ericsson.html Meh. He was very impressive at the beginning/middle of the year. But he looked out of place a couple times in the last part of the year, and playoffs. He definately has some potential though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
