Detroit # 1 Fan 2,204 Report post Posted April 13, 2008 http://redwingscorner.blogspot.com/2008/04...-concludes.html Forwards Cory Emmerton, Darren Helm and Mattias Ritola. Defenceman Kyle Quincey, Jakub Kindl, and Jonathan Ericsson. Goalie Jimmy Howard. Grand Rapids head coach Mike Stothers, and assistant coach Jim Paek were also called up. Probably wont get any playing time, but looks like a good bunch of guys just in case Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cicada 4 Report post Posted April 13, 2008 Where's Jakub at with his development? I've heard a lot more negative than positive about him lately. bad season, but he's only 20 and the GRIFFINS did suck most of the year... he'll be a top 3 dman for the wings one day... no doubt Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I wonder if that is a common move with retaining their coach when going into the playoffs. It's probablyt imperative that he is there. Braintrust. I used to work in motorsports, and the more smart people who knew what the hell was going on and what to expect seemed to win more often! Good move in my opinion.

Guest ForeChecK Report post Posted April 13, 2008 Ritola? come on now.. Ive watched like 6 Griffins games this year, and he's been the griffins version of Hudler. IE/Non Existent for most of the game. I like seeing the 3 d-men up for the PO run, sure they wont get play off time, But they will experience the grind of the playoffs. and hopefully it'll help them in with future development.

Most of this is for these guys to get a taste of the atmosphere, to watch the NHL players' routines, and to give guys rests in practice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
