In Topic: Big 3rd Period Come From Behind Win. Griffins Heading to Conf. Finals

Just posted in the sub forum about this. Great win for these guys. They've played well all season and thrived under Blashill. I hope I can make it to one of the WCF games because they're playing great hockey right now.

Closing out a tough Toronto team (that, as an aside, features Komisarek and Tim Connolly) in their house could not have been an easy task, let alone to do so in the fashion they did. They closed out the last round with a statement game and appear to have done the same here.

Hopefully the Barons are over-rested, it'd be great for the Griffins to get a jump on them right away.

Great win for the Griffins. They continue to play well, just as they've done all year. I'm very excited for their trip to the WCF. Hopefully I can get a game in. I wish more people were attending these playoff bouts.

You can stay at the hotel with children, certainly. They divide the casino and the hotel so you can access the people mover without ever actually entering the casino.

That said, there is a church with a parking lot right next to Greektown Casino where you can park for $5-$10 - if you aren't staying the night.

As far as the crowds go - I've never seen Detroit fans start any real trouble, but I'm usually a frequenter of Tigers games. Perhaps you guys can simply remove your Blackhawk jerseys on your way out of the arena? I think you'll be all right, though, especially with children in tow.

About 1 million per year too much, let him walk. Helm can center the 2nd, Anderson the 3rd, and Emmy the 4th. Plus Jarnkrok is gonna get some time with the big club next year, and will only be a two hour ride to the Joe in case of an emergency.


I worry about Helm's ability to center the second line. He's a great third line center, but I'd hate to see them lose his advantage by playing him up on the second line.

Also, I'd be really surprised if Jarnkrok sees much time in Detroit next season.
