The Griffins, similar to the Detroit Red Wings have struggled to find their way early on this season. The unfortunate thing about it is that we expected the Griffins to be a force. This summer we thought the Griffins had a chance to make some noise again this season. They still might, but nothing has come easy for them yet. The schedule doesn’t favor the Griffins at the moment having them play three straight games in as many days. A baseball type weekend for the Griffins has them playing Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.
Newly appointed head coach Ben Simon mentioned the lack of defensive depth on the roster hurt them early.
