Categories: GriffinsFox Sports Detroit’s Ken Daniels claims that Red Wings defenceman Chris Chelios is at least considering going to Grand Rapids to get a few games in with the Griffins for conditioning purposes. Chris Osgood and former Wing Curtis Joseph have done so coming off injuries, but it’s not unheard of.

Evan McGrath tallied the game’s lone goal in the second period, and goaltender Daniel Larsson made 29 saves for his second shutout of the season as Grand Rapids took a 1-0 road win over Chicago on Sunday at Allstate Arena.
The Griffins secured their third win in as many days this weekend and improved to 4-0-0-1 in their last five contests.
After a scoreless first period, McGrath put the Grand Rapids on the board 7:24 into the middle stanza.
Aaron Downey and Justin Abdelkader picked up assists on McGrath’s fourth goal of the campaign. Neither side scored in the third period.
The Wolves were blanked for the first time this season and fell to 2-5-0-0 in their last seven outings.

LiveJournal is moving from San Francisco to somewhere in Montana. They say it is going to take about 4 hours. I’m not that concerned. They have been giving us notice about the move, but I know there are LJ addicts flipping out.
I buy my dad a Newsweek subscription every year. I paid for it a few weeks ago, but today I decided to check it online to make sure it was paid up and what not. I am not sure when but sometime ago I must have paid for two years. This is what I get online: “Your subscription will expire with the Jan 25, 2010 issue.”

Yesterday I sat in our new office space all day waiting for at&t. The window they gave us was 8am to 5pm. I was there from 8am to about 3pm then my boss took my place. They finally showed about around 4pm. So our new phone line and dsl are functional. We should be moving by the end of this week.
The Grand Rapids Griffins were beat by the Milwaukee Admirals on Sunday.
Nov. 16 GriffinsHockey.com – A furious second-period rally by the Grand Rapids Griffins fell just short against the Milwaukee Admirals in the Bradley Center on Sunday evening. The Griffins (8-3-2-1) fell behind 4-1 before scoring three goals in 57 seconds in the second period during a 5-4 loss to the Admirals (7-5-0-1). [More]
There is a second chance for the Griffins tonight in Milwaukee before they host the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins on Friday.
The Detroit Red Wings shut out the Edmonton Oilers last night. George Malik has plenty of round up here: Wings-Oilers post-game wrap-up: best game thus far!
I had forgotten about this until I saw it today browsing some videos. Theresa and I were there, and this is the first time I’ve seen this from the camera’s angle.
Monday was a pretty average day. Work was a little busy, home time was good. Tuesday is where it really is at.
In the morning I was taking apart cubicles as my office prepares to move. I kept finding strange things in the desks. There was one that had a bunch of paper bags in it. I swear I never saw anyone bring something like that in here. They are the style of bags that you would get with a large bottle of beer. I even got some push pins in my shoes as they were all over the floor.
I left work real early, 10:30am, to go pick Drake up. He was super excited to see me. We went to the arena for the Griffins annual matinee game. Whomever writes the releases for griffinshockey.com had this to say:
November 11, griffinshockey.com – The AHL’s highest scoring team found a different way to win on Tuesday, riding a dominant defensive effort and a 16-save performance by Daniel Larsson to a 1-0 victory over the Houston Aeros at Van Andel Arena.
A matinee crowd of 7,352 saw the Griffins improve to 6-2-2-1 on the season, 4-1-0-1 on home ice and 6-2 all time in their annual noon game, thanks to Larsson’s first shutout in North America.
Grand Rapids will take aim at its third straight home win this Friday when it hosts its first-ever meeting with the Hartford Wolf Pack at 7 p.m. …
After the game Drake and I headed home for a nap. After he woke up he just sat with me in the lazy boy watching True Blood. Yes I know, I am a very bad father for letting my toddler watch that show with me. There is no need to scold me.
Theresa brought home a new chicken sub to share for dinner. Yum, she even put black olives on my half for me. After dinner Theresa and Drake left to do a little shopping. Right about that time the Red Wings game got underway on VS. I do not like watching games on VS. I will take Mickey Redmond over VS. any day. As far the the Red Wings though, George James Malik says it best:
November 11, Snapshots: Unacceptable – The Detroit Red Wings lost to the Pittsburgh Penguins on Tuesday night, and their record in “measuring stick” games is now 0-and-4 (they lost to San Jose, Anaheim, the Penguins, and they bombed their banner-raising opener). The Red Wings had 3-1, 4-2, 5-2, 5-4, and 6-4 leads at various points of the game, but “cutesy” plays resulting in turnovers and an inability to clear the slot and bear down on clearing the puck out of the defensive zone resulted in the vast majority of the Penguins’ goals. …
I myself am also highly disappointed with the Red Wings play last night. I would be more disappointed if I have been a paying ticket holder.
As a footnote, I do have pictures on my camera that I need to get uploaded. Maybe I’ll get that done tonight.
