Prospect Info: Grand Rapids Griffins Discussion

[SpookyTsuki]

Well that's not good

To be fair I’ve only seen a few griffin games tho

 

[newfy]

Even though he’s barely played I thought Edvinsson looked better in the nhl compared to the Griffins

I was at the game last night. Edvinsson looks so bored out there, he should be up for a playoff push. Kasper was the best player on the Griffins, I would be thinking pretty hard about throwing him in the lineup somewhere to provide a spark if this slide doesnt stop. The people who say he looks great even when hes not scoring... last night was a perfect example

For someone who doesn't watch the Griffins, could you please expand on this a little? How did he look great?

Ed got hurt blocking shots?

Edit: Clip

Watched end of the game , about 15 minutes. Lombardi, Mazur was looking good, Kasper fest and physical, but not PK, why? Edvinsson didn't play, guess injured

Read post above. Hope he’s okay. Looked like a shot to the knee?

 

[Chris Langlois]

Any word on ed? Does anyone know if he played any shifts after the blocked shots or did he leave right away?

I assume there won't be an update until tomorrow.

Apparently on crutches after the game, I mean it doesn’t say much because they’re precautionary but still, doesn’t sound great.

Created a bunch of chances, really good carrying the puck through the neutral zone/zone entries, fast (but I think his best skating asset is how agile/good he is on his edges), getting back defensively, physical.

Left the game thinking hes the most obvious NHLer down there even when he didnt get any points. Kinda reminded me of a game where Larkin doesnt score but hes still going a million mph, with a physical side

Still haven't seen anything on Edvinsson since blocking that shot.

 

[JediOrderPizza]

Edvinsson, Wallinder and Gettinger out tonight.

 

[Chris Langlois]

Edvinsson, Wallinder and Gettinger out tonight.

No update as to injury and time expected out though? I hate how secretive this organization is!

 

[RED WINGS STOMP]

Lost again tonight in OT. They miss Burgers, we should give back while we still can. No point leaving him with the big club right with the condition they are currently in.

 

[Christien]

Griffins dominated Cleveland, but Cleveland somehow hung on like they usually do against us and scored on their powerplay in OT

I've read that it's an AHL-wide thing. It's concerning.

Some good news this morning - Edvinsson was on the ice for practice and didn't have any sort of non-contact jersey

Well then he should immediately be called up to play in Detroit!

Yup him or Johansson. They've both earned it.

 

[lilidk]

Plus Kasper and Mazur

 

[Christien]

Cross Hanas just got hit from behind by Raska and goes right to the locker room. Of course no penalty on the play

Edit: Thankfully, he returned to the game

 

[RED WINGS STOMP]

Got off the skids and got a W tonight. Please let that seep through to the big club.

 

[raymond23]

Dominant defensive performance

Kaiser said Edvinsson will be back soon, possibly tomorrow

Or hopefully just called up to Detroit. Maybe they'll play him tomorrow in GR then bring him up for Sunday against shitsburg.

 

[Rolo Tomassi]

He hasnt played better than Holl and Petry. The team motto is that the best players will play. Yzerman said that during preseason…
