You made it the farthest of all our teams – congratulations on making the Conference Finals, Gs.
The Griffins nearly won game five, a pivotal 2-2 tiebreaker in Grand Rapids. We threw everything but the kitchen sink back at Utica in a 3-2 loss where we allowed all 3 goals in the first period. We lost 1-0, essentially, to close the series, despite pelting the goal in both games.
It was a joy to watch more young Red Wings develop. Dylan Larkin and Teemu Pulkkinen are going to anchor us for a long time to come.
And coach Jeff Blashill will become the Red Wings new coach after the Babcock betrayal. Maybe it’s meant to be.
……..well done boys…..be seeing some of you in Detroit next year for sure.
