2/27 GDT: Grand Rapids Griffins @ Syracuse Crunch

Nothing fancy this time, but I thought I'd at least make something so people realise there is a game and we can discuss it.

Go Griffins!

At least you posted it! I knew they are out of town this weekend, but I hadn't even had a chance to look where.

Well this sure is ugly.

Howard gave up 4 goals on 23 shots and was then pulled. Larsson has since given up 2 goals on 7 shots.

Down 6-2.

One positive is Mattias Ritola. Assist, +1 and... GR Ritola, 18:27 - Unsportsmanlike conduct , 2 min

Kindl has survived the carnage too and is even. Amazing!

Hell yeah my boy Downey got an assist. Hes on a scoring streak!

[Aussie_Wing 354]

Yep, and Haydar is on an incredible streak. Well, this was what people expected from the outset and he's capable of this.

20 points in 12 games this month, 9 points from the past 4 games.

Oh my goodness. Haydar!

Hat trick and the Griffins are only down 1! WOW!

Downey and Picard both got 10 minute misconducts.

I sense some ref bulls***...

What on earth is going on out there?!

First the very composed Ritola gets an unsportsmanlike conduct with Picard, and now Downey and Picard get misconducts. Sounds like it's getting pretty intense out there.

1 more goal, c'mon! What an insane comeback it would be...

I was at the game, Howard didn't get pulled. He got plowed into and was scored on the play, there was a huge collition in front of the net that ended up with Howard and Galvin leaving the game with injuries, it looked like Galvin hurt his left knee. I'm not sure what happend to Howard, he layed on the ice for a good 5 mins. and needed to be helped off the ice.

D-Mac played a fair amount of mins. his skating looked "labored", that's best word I can think of to describe it, he did get an assist. It was great to see him play though, living in Syracuse for so long, I haven't had the chance to see him play live in years.
