just looking at who Toledo have signed so far and it looks like it could be
a throw back to old time hockey, plenty PIMS on the roster so far.

Yeah, we've finally thrown together a decent defense. That's been our downfall these past few years. Along with letting other teams throw us around 90% of the time. I'm really looking really look forward to this season, so far. Of course I always do anyways.

Will be receiving some Griffs in Toledo while Wings players line the Griffs roster?

At least you Petr as goalie!

Suits me just fine, though the Griffins' goalie situation is pretty scary. Pearce simply isn't good enough to play at that level, and McCollum is borderline at best. As of now, McCollum is 24th in GAA, Pearce 40th.

More worrisome than the numbers to me, though, is the attitude. Looking at the goalies I've seen, they all pretty much could shake off a goal against. We saw Hasek do it. We saw Osgood do it. Howard is a master. Legace, Conklin, not a problem.

McCollum and Pearce, though? I'm honestly scared not for the first goal, but the second. Neither one can snap into form quickly enough- they rattle very easily.

Mrazek can. I've seen it. Hopefully he's the Griffins' future, because the other two aren't.

We've watched him in the OHL and he's calm and cool. He also has a lot of spirit, not afraid to jab at players with this stick either .

Or a throwback to the Storm days. Anyone remember this one? One of the greatest hockey fights ever, perhaps?
