Grand Rapids Griffins Playoff Thread

Game 4 about to start. Must win tonight...

[krsmith17 7,191]

1-0 Monsters... power-play goal...

[krsmith17 7,191]

Bertuzzzzzzi!!!

Bert has been a playoff beast. Maybe he can be our Justin Williams...

Milano makes it 2-1. Hate it but that was one of the prettiest goals I've ever seen at any level...

[krsmith17 7,191]

Holland was interviewed during first intermission. He basically reiterated the same things he said during the closing presser. Trying to get younger. Youth need to take step forward and take on bigger roles. Expects some new faces from here (Grand Rapids) to make the Wings roster out of camp. Mentioned the obvious one's, Ouellet and Sproul as well as Jensen and Tangradi?... Trying to get bigger. Going to continue with the same philosophy of drafting and developing...

McCollum f***ing sucks!...

[krsmith17 7,191]

Mantha! 4-2...

[BinMucker94 302]

Have the Griffins been playing poorly this series or did they just run into a hot goalie? I didn't expect to see them down 3-0 at all

[krsmith17 7,191]

Griffins have been the better team in the majority of this series. A combination of Korpisalo playing great and McCollum playing like s***. Blows my mind that Coreau hasn't played the entire playoffs so far...

Aubry! 4-3...

Russo!!! Tie game!

[BinMucker94 302]

Thanks for the updates

[krsmith17 7,191]

Athanasiou!!!

5-4 with 1:55 to go. What a comeback...

Griffins WIN! If McCollum sees another second of ice time I'll be pissed... Coreau is waaaay better, not even close.

Hi everyone, I live in California, and how can I watch the live Griffins game online? Any free streaming? Thanks.

Coreau should've been playing from the get go, so this comeback win is huge if only to see him get more playoff time. Another two points for Mantha and Bertuzzi and a beauty snipe winner from AA. Coming back from down 3-0 is pretty tough, but even if they can just get it to Game 6/7 for the experience would be great.

McCollum f***ing sucks!...

He is garbage. Nerves of glass. The guy has never recovered from s***ting the bed at the World Juniors back in the day. I feel bad for the guy, but some folks just aren't cut out for it. He is like the Jimmy Howard of the AHL.

Game 5 starting in a little bit... Frk and Tangradi out

Mr. Svechnikov making his pro debut boom!

[krsmith17 7,191]

1-0 Monsters...

[marcaractac 3,962]

Tie game!

[krsmith17 7,191]

Bertuzzzzzzi!!°

2-1 Griffins!

Kid is a gamer.

[marcaractac 3,962]

Little Bert makes it 2-1!

Bertuzzzzzzi!!°
2-1 Griffins!
Kid is a gamer.

I'm hoping he can become our Brendan Gallagher. That would be ace.

[Hockeymom1960 5,107]

C'mon boys, you can do this!

[krsmith17 7,191]

Athanasiouuuu!!!

Breakaway goal. 3-1 Griffs!!

If there's a team that can come back from being down 0-3, it's this Griffins team... especially now that Coreau has taken over the net.

[marcaractac 3,962]

So excited for Russo. I think he could probably use one more season in GR as their top dman, but I have a feeling he is the real deal.

[krsmith17 7,191]

What do you mean by the real deal though? I'm not really convinced he'll be anything more than a top 4 at the NHL level. Same goes for Sproul unfortunately... But I think both have the potential to be solid top 4, puck moving defensemen, capable of quarterbacking a power-play.

I just mean a legit top 4 NHL dman. Someone who can produce, help with the pp, etc. And also be the all important righty.

[krsmith17 7,191]

Absolutely. I'm hoping Sproul will be that guy as well. Neither will be impact players at the NHL level for another couple years at least though. Hopefully Holland can land that top pair guy this offseason...

Bertuzzi knows how to elevate his game. Love it.
