11/20 Monsters @ Gand Rapids Griffins

[Guest Heaten]

At the game right now. Right on the glass, awesome seats. I'll video fights and power play if I can. Lots of people here tonight. Great atmosphere.

Good to hear!!

I just wish that the Griffins could score, just one goal, because being shut out 3 times from the past 5 games is depressing.

[Guest Heaten]

Monster score. 1-0. Though Griffins controlled most of the play. Smith isn't looking too great to me. Owens is a fireball. Griffins are working hard, good things should happen.

[Guest Heaten]

Griffins break shutout. Meech goal. 1-1

[Guest Heaten]

....and monsters score 2-1. Griffins PP now. Meech getting lots of ice time.

[Aussie_Wing 354]

Meech getting lots of ice time is good for him, but I'd rather Kolosov, Lashoff and Piche play.

[Guest Heaten]

Lashoff is out. Kolosov has been a turnover machine tonight. Have not seen piche. Pearce in net giving up juicy rebounds. Smith should get more ice time but he really isn't doing much tonight. Tatar has been somewhat physical. Owens has been my fav player tonight

They looked really uninspired last night. They seem to play much better hockey on the road.

Yeah Piche is in Toledo, when he should be in GR developing.

[Guest Heaten]

3-1 monsters.

[Aussie_Wing 354]

We're shocking.

How much longer can they persist with Curt Fraser for...

[Guest Heaten]

Griffins didn't look bad, it seemed lik the played in the offensive zone more than the other team. Monsters goalie was better than ours. Griffins also don't get in good scoring spots. Monster scored on two rushes and a huge rebound by pearce. All in all, Griffins looked decent except for the aforementioned issues.

[Guest Heaten]

Also want to include that I think Meech should be playing in the NHL somewhere. He's pretty reliable and skates well. He was Griffins best player in this game. A team like Chicago could really benefit from a defenseman ike Meech, I think. I'm just surprised nobody took him off waivers when he was available.Hope to see him in the NHL full time someday.

Meech has been a real class act throughout this whole process. Hopefully he can be rewarded with a spot on the Wings or on some NHL club. He's gotta get the unnecessary penalties under control a little more, though.
