10/12 AHL GDT: Milwaukee Admirals @ Grand Rapids Griffins

[uk_redwing 495]

Tonight at 7PM EST. Would have been on FSD had more people voted but ah well...Hockey is back! Well...AHL hockey is back anyway. First regular season game for the Griffins tonight. A few current Red Wings in Smith, Tatar, Nyquist and a few up and coming guys like Jurco and Sheahan start their first pro year.

Full preview can be read here, it's too long to post in full:

Detroit Exports: Eighteen Red Wings-contracted players are on the Griffins’ 23-man roster, including goaltenders Tom McCollum and Jordan Pearce; defensemen Adam Almquist, Gleason Fournier, Brian Lashoff, Max Nicastro and Brendan Smith; and forwards Joakim Andersson, Louis-Marc Aubry, Mitch Callahan, Landon Ferraro, Tomas Jurco, Gustav Nyquist, Francis Pare, Trevor Parkes, Brent Raedeke, Riley Sheahan and Tomas Tatar.

I am very excited Especially for a 4th line of Callahan-Aubry-Grant.

Hopefully Drumnj will get us all sorted.

And hopefully the mods will let this stay in the Red Wings section, so we can all talk about hockey for once.

Yay Hockey!

Hopefully someone will find a stream for it, I'm starting to get tired of watching blurry streams in foreign languages just to fill the hockey void.

It looks like drumnj is indeed going to be hitting us up with some top quality AHL action! You all know where to go at 7PM. See you all there! HOCKEY IS BACK!

Great job on the GDT mate!! Hopefully people get involved because I'm freaking pumped!!!

Especially to see my man Louis Marc Aubry!!

Would like to see Callahan-Aubry-Parks reunite though, this time on the 3rd line.

Yay for hockey. I'm actually going to see hockey in person this weekend too.

[evilzyme 769]

Yeah!!!!! So excited! I'll be leaving Howell enroute to Grand Rapids around 2pm to go watch our boys! Gonna be a fun night!!!!!!!

[drumnj 459]

I won't be around for the game as I'll be driving. Hoping that everything has stayed the same from last season as ahllive like to mess with stuff that gets things out of whack. Did a quick test last night, but won't know how effect that was until actual gametime. I'll check on it when I can.

[uk_redwing 495]

You are le man drum. I'm praying it all works OK for some sweet sweet Griffins action.

[amato 3,210]

If you're going to @griffinshockey tonight, meet us at Peppino's on Ionia Ave SW at 5 PM. We're giving out prizes...

...if anyone happens to go, and just so happens to get an "I Got Kronwalled At The Joe" T shirt (XL), they would have a mod who seriously owes them a favor...

...just sayin'

I've never been this excited about a Griffins game I wasn't attending.

[hooon 1,089]

This is awesome, thanks so much Drum, your archived games got me through the summer, now hopefully these Griffins games will get me through the lockout.

Really looking forward to seeing Jurco play. Also excited about Nyquist, I hope he takes some steps forward this year.

While I'm pumped that Z is playing with Brunner in the Swiss league, I can't help but wish that Brunner was on the Griffins instead to get a little NA hockey experience.

Looking forward to this.

I'm very exited for this. I've watched some KHL games, but the physicality is lacking. Hopefully Callahan takes a big step this season.

[rrasco 1,312]

Who's ready for some hockey?!?!? Looks just like the Wings, but it's not. :/

[WorkingOvertime 536]

LGG!

[WorkingOvertime 536]

Goal! 1-0 Griffins.

[BottleOfSmoke 5,965]

The Saginaw Spirit are also playing right now as is U of M for those that are interested.

[Detroit # 1 Fan 2,204]

Why aren't Smith or Nyquist wearing a letter? Brennan Evans, really?

Looks good so far for the Griffs though, hope they pull it off.

[Bring Back The Bruise Bros 1,029]

Stream?

[evilmrt 636]

Its on the usual spot for streams

[WorkingOvertime 536]

The Tatar line looks great. Griffins are down but are playing well. Some decent team toughness the last few minutes.

None of the links are working for me. Forgive me, but would ya mind posting a link?

[uk_redwing 495]

Griffins are once again LIVE now on redwingslive against the Hamilton Bulldogs. The puck drops in 15-ish minutes. It was great to see so many people watching yesterday, hope there's the same number of people again tonight!
