Prospect Info: Grand Rapids Griffins Discussion

[ShanahanMan]

I'm honestly shocked about the missed dunk on Cossa. Probably because he's drawn a bit too much attention of late...

Because I think Cossa is still a good goalie?

Dude shut up man lol you sound stupid now ha

Simply for pointing out our 8OA has zero points so far?

 

[NickH8]

So is this just another game where Kasper looks absolutely amazing but is gonna have zero points?

Like clockwork, Jesus man

 

[lilidk]

Did they try to go back to. Mazur Kasper Berggren line

 

[Filppula]

Griffs take the L, the prospects did nothing, the Yzerplan is dead. We need to start picking in the mid-late rounds like Dallas so Dryzerman can no longer take the busts at the top of their board.

If there’s one thing I hate more than doom and gloom posts, it is sarcastic doom and gloom posts. Serve no purpose.

 

[Astyanax]

Pretty sure it's sarcasm, but I don't blame anyone for thinking it's not lol.

90% sure.

Absolutely sarcastic, but still dumb!! Obviously it was a terrible game, but expound on things, make it clever. Help lift the spirits of us diehards.

Au contraire my friend!
1. Reverse jinx
2. Counter-trollism
3. Points out that we can make some hay with our mid first/second this year. Look at Dallas. Dryzerman may be more likely to take some more risk here.
4. Introduction of the term "Dryzerman"
5. Made myself laugh and cry at the same time

After watching highlights , looks like Cossa had very bad game, but it is only highlights . Was he a reason team lost?

He had a couple stinkers but the team was anemic as a whole. It’s on the goalie when they lose 4-5. 1-5 is the whole team

 

[minimal]

Looks like a pretty bad game last night--anyone have a breakdown of what happened?

As for Kasper, it's only been two games. Call me if he's been invisible all series.

 

[Christien]

The vets have been pretty lackluster. Not all of them, but most of them. Guys like Lesperance, Gettinger, and Rafferty all need to step up. Their captain, Didier, wasn't even in the lineup.

 

[heyfolks]

Cossa give up the first two goals of game 1 and of game 2.

 

[Pavels Dog]

Nick Lidström was -5 in a game once.

 

[norrisnick]

Nick Lidström was -5 in a game once.

Not in the NHL.

 

[lilidk]

Cossa need to bounce back , wish Danielson have couple games for GR this playoffs

 

[heyfolks]

Nick Lidström was -5 in a game once.

While I doubt this is true, for the sake of the argument I want to have, I ACCEPT THIS AS FACT!


ONCE ...... ONCE

Sebastian Cossa built to be Team Canada's goalie at world juniors

Cossa is the early frontrunner to earn the opening-night start based on his play in the two exhibition games against the U-Sports all-stars

one game. He played ONE GAME. I guess that can be seen as ONCE.

Sebastian Cossa's season ends in Toledo, but strong second half brings hope for Red Wings

Cossa's season didn't end how he'd have hoped, but the Red Wings' top goalie prospect took big strides in his first pro season.

theathletic.com

But then the moment came, and it got away. Cossa made it to the game’s midpoint before being pulled after giving up four goals on nine shots — not the way anyone would have envisioned his likely finale for Toledo.


Still early but Cossa is not building a record of winning the biggest games. At juniors he didn't even make it into the net. A netminder giving up the first two goals of the game in each of the first 2 games is (duh) not good. This is just the beginning, but I maintain he has a huge amound of pressure to perform in this one. ... Yeah yeah, first yeah in the A, goalies take longer. Look at the arger sample size..... I don't buy it, so hold it. LOL!

 

[Gniwder]

Not in the NHL.

You are correct, Lidstrom went -4 three times, but never -5.

Decided top take a break from work and actually checked game logs for his entire career.

You're suggesting he didn't win the WHL championship with Edmonton after a playoff run during which he had multiple shutouts?

Dude played in and won a single game with team Canada, so not sure how this is supporting your position.

Yes, he was pulled in game 5 of the ECHL conference championship, losing the series to a wagon of a team 4-1. Before that he was 5-1 with a .936 in the playoffs.

He might be a total bust at the end of your day, but so is your argument.

I mean... If you know how NHL.com works it takes like 1 minute

Huh, interesting. Didn't realize NHL.com had sortable game logs. Took me 2 minutes though, lol.

I guess he had 4 games at -4 and 31 at -3.

Congrats, you finally taught me something.

 

[schuelma24]

For a certain someone who keeps asking.. Kasper just scored.

 

[Nut Upstrom]

Kasper! Nice shot from the slot!

 

[NickH8]

Kasper is a bust scoring in the 2nd and not the 3rd like a real clutch player

Just hit the post too

 

[Nut Upstrom]

Geez, this team cannot finish and there's the tying goal for Rockford at the end of the period

 

[Nut Upstrom]

Kasper, Czarnik, Now Soderblom. 3-1 Griffins. Ten minutes to go.
