Prospect Info: Grand Rapids Griffins, 2024 - 2025 Season

[Michael Brand Eggs]

How's Watson going to protect the Wings when he can't even protect Grand Rapids? He should be stepping up instead of Danielson and Kasper.

 

[jaster]

Danielson gonna need protection in the NHL.

How old is Watson?

 

[Coach Reggie Dunlop]

Maybe I sound ridiculous but I would have put a goon out there to immediately run that guy for pulling that shit with Danielson. The AHL has and always will be a goon league, I’d have shut that shit down immediately. There is absolutely 0 reason our star prospects should be getting into fights to protect themselves, that’s asinine. I love to see them willing to, but it just shouldn’t ever have to happen. Austin Watson, do what you were signed for or get out. Protect these kids.

 

[Lampedampe]

What is up with Buium, benched?

 

[lilidk]

Danielson gonna need protection in the NHL.

How old is Watson?

Doctor Watson?

 

[ShanahanMan]

Reality check that we’re not gonna have the super amazing AHL team people think

 

[RED WINGS STOMP]

Yeah, I am little bothered that both of our prized rookie centers are throwing punches and Austin Watson wasn't sending a message about either one of them.

Buium making his season debut…Husso in net, so Cossa tomorrow

Bad news from GR, Mazur hit up high, left the game and won't return. The guy that hit him had over 300 PIMs in the ECHL last season.

brutal play. mazer gettin hooked on arm into a scott-stevens-esque head hit

 

[wingsfannn919191]

Husso shutout , its ahl but he played great
Suspect he'll be back up soon if our goalies keep sucking

 

[RED WINGS STOMP]

Tell me Watson went after this guy?! Cause if not, why are we bothering with him?

Shine went after him a few seconds later.

1st Griffins game of the year. Thought D looked really solid. Focused on Nate a lot. I thought he showed really well. Almost had a goal on the PP and had a few other nice setups that could have been assists. He was also out there for almost the entire last 2 minutes with the net empty and took the key faceoffs.

He still looks a bit skinny out there but you can see he's close and I think the points will come. Some better finishers on his line would hep (he was with Soderblom and Watson much of the night).

That sucks. I’d expect he’ll be out a fair while after that hit.

 

[Oddbob]

That is a fairly clean hit and the puck was just with him. Just cause it was the AHL or a goon doesn't mean it was dirty.

 

[Winger98]

eh, 20 years ago it was a clean hit. Today he's getting a call from DOPS for coming from the blindsight and arguably making primary contact with the head. What makes it dirty is that the guy could have ploughed through Mazur and avoided just clipping him entirely. He chose to clip Mazur like that.
