To be fair, the Wings could ice Tootoo-Abby- Bert with Smith- E and do something similar to the first lines of CBJ, FLA, Oilers, NYI, etc. The Griffins did get beat up, but it wasn't because Rockford targeted players who had experience fighting.

 

I understand this. I just hope everyone didn't get a concussion from this. Seems like GR are doing quite well this season. Be real unfortunate if someone goes out for a long time due to this brawl. And don't get me wrong I love fighting but in opinion this is something GR probably didn't need...

I agree. From reading the reports of the game it didn't seem like any retribution was layed onto the Griffins- moreso frustration from Rockford. I like tough hockey, but I am not sure why Rockford was trying to prove by picking on the Griffins skilled players- the Griffins have plenty of players who are willing.

Boy, that escalated quickly. I mean that really got out of hand fast! Brick killed a guy!

There were horses and a man on fire and I killed a guy with a trident.

[evilmrt]

HAHAHAHA Now this is a game! Unlike that utter heart-less s***e that the Wings displayed. Can't wait for the rematch between Rockford and GR. Should be good. 

 

Who was that on the video that had trouble getting up from center ice? 

[haroldsnepsts]

Wear pink sweaters=get your ass kicked !

To me it looked like the Griffs were on the receiving end of most of the ass kickings. 

 

Though who was that Rockford player who kept skating around suckerpunching guys who were already engaged in fights?  I swear he was the third man in at least three different times.

Next time hopefully someone pulls a Tootoo and one hitter quitter the Rockford before they even drop the gloves

Agreed. Pretty chicken s*** in my opinion.

What the hell set that off?  Looks like the Griffs got pounded too, everywhere I looked I was seeing guys in white eating fists.

Tatar fed a few in the end

[GMRwings1983]

Our minor league team sucks at fighting.  Big surprise.

 

Curt Fraser is basically the best fighter in the entire Wings organization......Whoops, I forgot

 

 

The Griffins got absolutely beat up (apart from Tatar at 3:50) because the Rockford 4th line goons were up against one of the Griffins scoring lines which obviously had no real fighters on except for Aubry who still got beaten up.

 

Props to Tristan Grant for leaving the bench to go after Beach who was trying his best to send Sheahan to a hospital at centre ice, even if he's going to get a massive suspension for it. Poor Callahan had two guys trying to pound him at once. Real goonery from the Ice Hogs. Beach will have a target on his head when these two next meet.

 

If anyone's interested, the Griffins won 11-6 with a hat-trick from Callahan.

 

 

 

Yeah, I guess the other team did have Brookbank on the ice as well as some other fighters.

 

Still, Ericsson needs to go down to the farm and teach some of these wusses how to fight.

Ericsson?  If you're gunna do it, do it right and hire Lilja as fighting coach.

[Bring Back The Bruise Bros]

Beach is a major league spotpicker. Also, that dolt running around the ice cheapshotting everyone is Kenndal McArdle. He signed a PTO with Rockford a couple days back. Hopefully his useless ass is released. 3rd man in at least twice during the brawl. Coward.

Props to Triston Grant and the rest of the team for heading out there. At least our minor league team has some guts.

Of course Rockford came out on top in a lot of the fights, because either McArdle jumped in as the 3rd man or our finesse guys were being jumped by their 4th liners.

Grand Rapids had a number of scrappy guys/fighters the last 2-3 years - and each year had a mediocre team on the ice. Not saying they're necessarily exclusive, but I'd prefer this year's team in contention over last year's team that could hold their own.

I've seen Brennan Evans get into about 5 or 6 scraps this year and he won them all easily. Not sure where he was during all this.
