Prospect Info: Grand Rapids Griffins, 2024 - 2025 Season

[lilidk]

I know the griffins have been more physical this year, for those who watch more than I can, have wallinder, tuomisto and soderblom been very physical? That’s one thing I was hoping they’d all improve.

Also Danielson

Nate needs to add some bulk, he got manhandled in his only fight. GR does a good job of bulking kids up, even Mazur added some much needed strength and weight. Seeing how Joey, Burger, and Kasper all got up to NHL size, I'm sure Nate will also put on 10 lbs or so next summer.

In any case, has anyone else noticed that Lombardi is on 1 point per game pace if you take away the first 3 scoreless games? 1 point per game for a prospect is my threshold for a callup, if he sustains that for 30 games or so he deserves at least a few games. He's small so I dunno if his game will transfer, but at least he's bigger than Kane.

I'd like to see Nate called up for a few games as well. Getting outmuscled in the NHL is a huge motivator for these kids to bulk up, like Ray for example though he never played for GR.

Good luck tonight to the Griffs. Time to bury Milwaukee.

 

[RED WINGS STOMP]

Three straight days of games for the Griffs this weekend. Gonna be a grind.

I keep looking at the lineups and hope I will see Mazur on the sheet

 

[Filppula]

Looks like the Stanley Cup champion version of Matt Murray is in net tonight, disappointing.

lol Cossa faced 15 shots in regulation (gave up 2 goals - neither his fault) and then made 12 saves in OT. Now to a shootout

Lombardi ties it with a minute left. Then OT SOG are 12-0, crazy.

 

[RED WINGS STOMP]

Didn't see it, but crazy long shootout results in a W for the Griffs. Filppula can chime in, but seems like Cossa was pretty big time in the OT/SO.

Will be nice to see Watson up
