This team certainly likes to fall behind as much as their parent team does

They absolutely SUCKED last night.  Lombardi has ZERO help on his line.  Kasper and Berggren look just OK, but not dynamic.  The Ice Hogs got A LOT of lucky bounces last night, but the Griffons are as WEAK as the Red Wings.  They're playing against a team that plays a lot like the Panthers/Hurricanes do.  Tons of stick checking, clutching, and grabbing.  Very little open ice to make good clean passes and tic tac toe style plays.  The only team that's going to beat a team like Rockford is one that's willing to bang them until they're hurt, crash the net like crazy, and get all the dirty work done along the boards.  And like the Red Wings, there are WAY too many forwards on the Griffons who aren't willing to do that.  Won't be surprised to see the Griffins lose in 5 for this series.  They'll squeak out one more win in a game where they get some ref help.  But the Ice Hogs are built better for playoff hockey.  Lots of grit on their team.

Perfect. Time to buyout Chiarot, Walman, Petry, Maata, and Holl and promote them.

Edvinsson and Johansson are ready for NHL duty.  Tuomisto and Wallinder still look like Manute Bol.  I have no idea why tall zit faced skinny kids that the red wings draft aren't told to get absolutely yoked within 5 minutes of their selection.

"With the 15th pick in the 2024 NHL draft, the Detroit Red Wings select Skinny Joe McZitster."

Yzerman: "Listen shetstick.  You're 164 lbs right now.  If you're not at 200 by the end of next year, I'll bury you in Toledo forever."

There is zero excuse for our 6'8" Swede, P U S S Y B O Y Soderblom to not be doing what Matt Rempe is doing.  Whoever is telling him to work on his skating and defense is REGARDED.  "Listen, Elmer.  You skate like a god damn rhinocerous on rollerblades.  Either figure out how to hit real hard and beat people up, or you can take your circus act to the WCHL."  

Pretty Simple.
