Prospect Info: Grand Rapids Griffins Discussion

L'Esperance seals it.... Griffs win 4-2

Goal and 2 Assists for No skill Kasper

I guess my criticism motivated him

 

[RED WINGS STOMP]

Way to go Griffs! Not an easy one to get after such a long layoff. Love seeing Marco all over the score sheet.

When Yzerman drafted Kasper, he said Marco has untapped offense. Looks like he might know how to evaluate talent after all.

Special teams have been bad for GR all season, 26th in league on PP, 20th on PK. They're really good at ES, testament to coaching and players buying into team D. Two-way ability of their top prospects in recent years and most veteran additions shows up at ES. Kasper's ES production in regular season (.39 PPG) is about the same as JT Miller (.40 PPG),in his 19yo AHL season, better than Filip Forsberg (.36), Adrian Kempe (.29) and Zibanejad (.26 in just 23 GP) in theirs. Five more ES points for Marco in five playoff games. Obviously he lacks skill though.

 

[Henkka]

Seems to be they are using 11+7 system there.

Last game lineup.

Berggren - Czarnik - Mazur
AstonReese - Kasper - Shine
Hirose - Gettinger - L'Esperance
Söderblom - Lombardi - X

Edvinsson - Johansson
Simek - Tuomisto
Wallinder - Rafferty
X - Didier

Most stupid schedule ever. Why do they have 4 off-days at Milwaukee??? And play that 2nd leg on MONDAY ??? Why on earth not on a weekend?

And then, when both have to travel, it's only 1 off-day before they play again at Grand Rapids.

WTF ?

The Milwaukee arena is a university facility and is booked for graduation ceremonies Friday and Sunday.

Danielson will fix the power play next week.
