Prospect Info: Grand Rapids Griffins, 2024 - 2025 Season

[izlez]

I just turned the game on. The first player I saw touching the puck was Danielson. He dangled 2 people (with 3 dangles) to set up a goal with that touch

Nate has 2 assists and should have 3 (earlier a Griffin missed a wide open net)

 

[SantosHalper]

My o my, what a moves and hands by Danielson! Clearly LIMITED OFFENSIVE ABILITY.

Squeal like piggy!

 

[RedHawkDown]

I love it

 

[cjm502]

Nasty Nate, Rock Me Amadeus, and Hanas-Olo each with a 2 piece so far. Sea Bass stopping 21/23 with 10 minutes left.

The ugly - AA has Rockfords 2 goals.

 

[Pavels Dog]

4 points the last 5 for Danielson. Heating up.

 

[schuelma24]

Griffins win 5-2. Danielson and Lombardi with 2 assists. Cossa 28/30 saves.

 

[cjm502]

I can usually respect when a team down 3 goals keeps playing hard up to the last second, but in this case I think Rockford was just salty.

 

[schuelma24]

Believe that's 6 points in last 9 games for Nate, for those who like to follow stats.

 

[SantosHalper]

3rd win in a row! Poor piglets didn't stand a chance and got turned in to bacon.

Danielson - best player in this game, even when count both teams. Could have easily have 4 point night and i only saw half of this game. Difference maker, the future is bright.

Lombardi - fast but never in a rush. I like his toolbox, hope he keeps up the good work.

Doucet - nice hands, could grow to a good player for the Griffins.

Shine - endless energy, kinda funny how this guy was a 4th liner, GR's Glendening but grew to a top-6 player whos on a pace of 66 points. Believe in development!

Becher - still getting back to a shape, might take a while.

Only watched first and Cossa was the biggest reason they were still in the game later

1.99 GAA for Cossa so far

 

[RedHawkDown]

cossa should be the backup next year. if his season continues like this he belongs in the nhl, not the ahl

And by next year you mean Jan 1st, right?

 

[HoweFan]

Looks like he’s warming up though. Encouraging.

 

[HoweFan]

I wish Elmer would start scoring. I still am a believer. Maybe he could use different linemates. Most reviews of his play have been positive

 

[Winger98]

if he carries this play through December it would have to be tempting to see what the market for Lyon/Talbot is.

Next season he'll be lining up for Frolunda. I like that we took a chance on the kid but I just dont see him being able to keep up to NHL game speed.

You may be right but I just can’t give up on him. The bigger guys just might need more time. I’m hoping for a second half breakout for him.

Wallstendt, not doing good and Askarov still in AHL, but have already some NHL games. Knight already played 7 games for Florida. I know it's much easier be Florida goaltender than Red Wings, but Seems like GR gives him plenty work

Ah I see, Datsyuk must've held a couple lessons in Grand Rapids while being over there.

 

[19 for president]

Cossa needs to finish out the year as the AHL starter, but I think NHL backup is his spot next year. The Talbot deal is a solid buffer. This year though I want him to prove he can handle the extra workload and show he can be consistent over the course of an entire season. He had a great 2nd half last year but needs to pull that through a whole "starter" season.

I'm curious to see if they resign Lyon as a 2B option in case Cossa looks shaky next season at the NHL level.

Great to see Danielson starting to heat up and Lombardi continuing his strong start.
