Aussie_Wing 354 Report post Posted December 27, 2009 After 1 period, Griffins down 4-2. Yeah, 4 goals conceded after 20 minutes. McCollum in net. The only good news is that the goals are: 1. GR Mursak, (12) (Kindl), 4:15 1. GR Ritola, (8) (Emmerton), 5:42 Jan! Good to see Ritola score after being sent down. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aussie_Wing 354 Report post Posted December 27, 2009 Great defence/goaltending. Larsson came in and has given up 2 goals on 5 shots. Griffins down 6-3. Another loss upcoming. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

McCollum sure isnt putting up great numbers so far...wasnt he suppose to be our future goaltender? I know you dont give up on goaltending prospects quickly, but so far not so great....

I know you dont give up on goaltending prospects quickly, but so far not so great.... Didn't he have a strong start to the season? This is typical for a young goalie, new to the league. He will learn to be more consitant with time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GROwl 5 Report post Posted December 27, 2009 Ritola was the only Griffin who played for 60 minutes. The rest gave some effort at various times, but not consistently. I thoght it was very welcoming of Kindl to spend a good part of the warmup chatting with Chelios. What was the deal with Nylander? He wasn't there for warmups or the first period. The Griffins played with only 17 skaters on the bench until period two when Nylander joined the team. Did he oversleep? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
uk_redwing 495 Report post Posted December 27, 2009 Should have gooned it up in the last 10 mins. Tardif could have given Mahachek another beatdown Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aussie_Wing 354 Report post Posted December 28, 2009 Well another loss, one win from their past 5 games. Kindl the lone goal scorer in a 5-1 loss, but Kindl was -3. A mess right now. Need Janik and Tatar back ASAP! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
uk_redwing 495 Report post Posted December 28, 2009 Seeing as the majority of Grand Rapids is wearing a winged wheel right now, its understandable they're starting to struggle. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Griffins played with only 17 skaters on the bench until period two when Nylander joined the team. Did he oversleep? I was only partly listening, but I believe it was said on the radio that Nylander returned to Sweden for the holiday, and I think they said his plane had a delay or something.
