Prospect Info: Grand Rapids Griffins Discussion

My goodness. They play like Detroit with a lead.
Cossa looking great all game but gives up 2 in the final 5 minutes. Game probably going to OT unless Rockford Files scores another.

 

[JediOrderPizza]

Ugh really? Come on griffs.

Berggren wins it! 2 OT goals for him

Who else

 

[JediOrderPizza]

I like burgers and scoring OT goals.

 

[Nut Upstrom]

Berggren to Mazur, off the post then Johnny with the tap in.

 

[HoweFan]

Whew!

 

[OgeeOgelthorpe]

Kasper! Nice shot from the slot!

What a bust. Real goalscorers don't need to score from the slot. They can do it from the bench like Auston Matthews.

 

[norrisnick]

Channeling his inner Kozlov.

 

[Holden Caufield]

Berggren what an absolute beauty.

Nice to see he has that clutch gene too. He is not an empty stat compiler.

 

[Go Wings]

He scored 2 goals in one OT, damn we really do need to get him to Detroit

 

[Dotter]

Berggren will be on Detroit next season. I doubt Sprong is back.

Berggren will slot into Sprong's role, maybe a little more if he improves his two way game.

 

[ShanahanMan]

Funny thing is Sprong is the only Wing that has not even been in the conversation of bringing back

Berggren> Sprong

 

[PullHard]

@ShanahanMan did you check the box score

 

[Voodoo Glow Skulls]

No video?

I'm being inconvenienced. I had to click buttons guys.

Theme of his career at this point.

Likely to be going on his 6th NHL team next season and he is only 27.

 

[Astyanax]

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!

So. ... The overtime wins don't count!! Ok, so you let me know when you think the games matter???? Only TO in gane 7 of the final!!!??
Great, I can't wait.

I like Sprong and I’d keep him over Fabbri, but Fabbri is signed another year and the wings need to make room for kids.

Griffins getting a chance to eliminate Rockford today at 5 PM EST

Sprong over Fabbri? F***ing gross, I’m going to lose my lunch. Reported for trolling.

There is no difference between the two besides handedness...

Like Copp and Compher.

Both small and not good defensively , but one got paid double
