Last night was the first time Detroit had 3 fighting majors in a regular season game since October 30th 2003 against Nashville when they had 9 majors, including one against Tootoo.

 

If anyone wants to re-live that glorious game and the ass kickings by McCarty, Fischer and co. here you go:

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. – The Grand Rapids Griffins announced on Monday that this Friday’s home game versus the Charlotte Checkers will air live on Fox Sports Detroit at 7 p.m.

The game will be called by the award-winning broadcast team of Ken Daniels and Mickey Redmond, who have worked Detroit Red Wings games together on Fox Sports Detroit for 15 seasons. Daniels is a two-time winner of Michigan Sportscaster of the Year (2003 and 2010) and was presented with the 2010-11 Ty Tyson Award by the Detroit Sports Broadcasters Association. Redmond, who has worked in the team’s television booth for 26 years, was honored in 2011 with the Foster Hewitt Memorial Award for outstanding contributions as a hockey broadcaster.

The Griffins will host back-to-back home games this weekend versus Charlotte and Rockford (Saturday at 7 p.m.) before visiting Chicago on Sunday at 5 p.m. EDT for their third game in three days. Tickets for both games at Van Andel Arena are available at griffinshockey.com.

Why the hell did I write Saturday in the thread title? Someone change it for me please because I'm an idiot.

One of the Griffins biggest rivals. Always feisty high scoring games. I'll see you all in the usual place at 19:05EST for some AHL action amongst the lockout doom and gloom...if I can stay awake for once!

Tonight at 7PM EST. Would have been on FSD had more people voted but ah well...Hockey is back! Well...AHL hockey is back anyway. First regular season game for the Griffins tonight. A few current Red Wings in Smith, Tatar, Nyquist and a few up and coming guys like Jurco and Sheahan start their first pro year.

Full preview can be read here, it's too long to post in full:

Detroit Exports: Eighteen Red Wings-contracted players are on the Griffins’ 23-man roster, including goaltenders Tom McCollum and Jordan Pearce; defensemen Adam Almquist, Gleason Fournier, Brian Lashoff, Max Nicastro and Brendan Smith; and forwards Joakim Andersson, Louis-Marc Aubry, Mitch Callahan, Landon Ferraro, Tomas Jurco, Gustav Nyquist, Francis Pare, Trevor Parkes, Brent Raedeke, Riley Sheahan and Tomas Tatar.

I am very excited Especially for a 4th line of Callahan-Aubry-Grant.

Hopefully Drumnj will get us all sorted.

And hopefully the mods will let this stay in the Red Wings section, so we can all talk about hockey for once.

For the forth time since 1992, we have an official lockout.

A round of applause for our amazing commissioner Gary Bettman, who is overseeing his third lockout, and the league's fantastic owners who both care so much about the NHL and it's fans

Both sides met thousands of times over the last few weeks and worked really hard but just couldn't get a deal done.
