Yep, missed the mark there. But he’s playing well so I’m not too worried. Nobody on the team is scoring so it doesn’t seem to just be a Berggren issue.

Lombardi was in the middle of everything today in a big win for GR. Danielson looked like a star too. Feeling pretty good about the farm right now.

I haven't watched yet this year.  I need to start tuning in.  I want to see if any of our other defensemen are going to make the next step.  When I look at our prospect pool now that Edvinsson and Johansson aren't a part of it any longer, I'm not all that excited to be honest.  I mean - is this really anything to get that excited about?

When last we spoke the Griffins were on a tear and all the guys you'd want to be leading that charge were the ones carrying the water. A few games later and...that's still basically what's going on. Lombardi is leading the charge, but Danielson is looking really good too. Pair this with the fact that we've got the 2nd best goalie in the AHL, leading scorer in the KHL and the best defenseman in the SHL. Other prospects of note, Finnie is dominating the WHL to the point where its absurd for him to be in that league. MBN is also playing like a stud in the SHL and Augustine is again dominating the NCAA.

Also happy to see Ondrej Becher healthy and with the Griffins. I have him pegged as my darkhorse prospect so it's good to see him getting time, and producing, in the AHL.

The SCAM will not play our talent

Yep it's an exciting situation all-round.   Another solid kid in next years draft can only help.  Mgmt said they thought we overachieved last season, so regression was expected.   If our goalies sucked, we would be in line for a top 5-6 pick.

I thought Motte looked pretty crappy vs Buffalo.   Kane is still invisible,  and the list goes on.   I can't wait for the TDL  hoping we are well out of contention so we can toss out the trash unlike last year when a selloff was the right move but pr-wise not a good move considering how close we were.

I'd prefer we suddenly get our crap together, make the playoffs and make watching a game actually fun.

 

Who will be ready to come up from GR?

I missed the 2nd and 3rd on Monday. How did Cossa look? Do we think he is going to live up to the hype?

I do.

 

He looked shaky to start as expected and showed some skill the rest of the way.   Giving up 2 goals is fine in 45 minutes in your first game, but the part I like is his attitude.   He said something like; 'I love this being on me' before the start of OT.

Cossa is as good a goalie prospect as you could possible hope to have. He's outperformed Wallstedt at every step of their respective AHL careers, and his numbers are in line with what Askarov accomplished at the same age. He's without a doubt the best goalie prospect outside the NHL (I know he's up right now). He'll lead GR to a long playoff run this spring and he'll make the Red Wings as a backup to Talbot next fall. He's the real deal.

 

And Augustine might end up being better one day.
