drumnj 459 Report post Posted June 6, 2013 (edited) Ok, we gotta have a topic here for the Calder Cup Finals.Grand Rapids Griffins are taking on the Syracuse Crunch, who are the defending champions (Tampa's affiliate was Norfolk last year). They have only lost 4 total games the past 2 post season, only 1 so far this post season.I know we were kind of worried/looking forward to this, but with the big clubs. However this should be pretty exciting for Wings fans.Game 1 Sat., June 8 GRIFFINS at Crunch 7 p.m.Game 2 Sun., June 9 GRIFFINS at Crunch 6 p.m.Game 3 Wed., June 12 Crunch at GRIFFINS 7 p.m.Game 4 Fri., June 14 Crunch at GRIFFINS 7 p.m.*Game 5 Sat., June 15 Crunch at GRIFFINS 7 p.m.*Game 6 Tue., June 18 GRIFFINS at Crunch 7 p.m.*Game 7 Thu., June 20 GRIFFINS at Crunch 7 p.m. Watch for free http://theahl.com/watch-the-finals-for-free-on-ahl-live-p184148 For those that haven't seen it, this is the Playoff intro video the Griffins had at the beginning of the postseason.

However this should be pretty exciting for Wings fans. And as I said before the 2 most coveted NCAA free agents will face each other for the Calder Cup. Sustr has 5 assists 21 PIMs and is +9 in 12 playoff games. Athough he hasn't played for them yet, I think DeKeyser should get the start on Saturday.

drumnj 459 Report post Posted June 6, 2013 (edited) Would be nice if NHL Networks picks up the Calder finals...to then have better feeds instead of the jumbotron view via ahllive. Dekeyser is said to start for game 1 of the finals. Edited June 6, 2013 by drumnj 1 hillbillywingsfan reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FlashyG 1,799 Report post Posted June 6, 2013 FlashyG said he might do up a cool GDT. That would be awesome. Hope he does! I've already started on one for game 1. I'm willing to do them for the whole series but if people would prefer one for the whole series I can do it that way too. 2 evilmrt and Hockeymom1960 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GMRwings1983 8,793 Report post Posted June 6, 2013 I thought the Syracuse Crunch were the Ducks affiliate in the last few seasons? Doesn't that mean their roster and prospect development is more the Ducks doing than it is Yzerman's, being only their first season as Lightning affiliate and all?

FlashyG 1,799 Report post Posted June 7, 2013 For our team, "Hakan Andersson and Co. Prospects" may be more accurate. I don't think there are more than 3 players on the Griffins who Hakan had anything to do with. 1 evilmrt reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FlashyG 1,799 Report post Posted June 7, 2013 More like Nill and Howe, yeah? Maybe Bowman can have some credit too. Except for the bad picks...All the bad picks can be blamed on Holland. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GMRwings1983 8,793 Report post Posted June 7, 2013 Tampa moved their affiliate from Norfolk to Syracuse for this season and Anaheim's are in Norfolk Ah, I see. I noticed there was still someone on the roster who played for the Ducks, but I guess Tampa never picked that player up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
