The Detroit Red Wings started their summer early, now the Grand Rapids Griffins for the second straight year will also begin their offseason workouts sooner than anticipated. The Griffins had a couple of opportunities to beat out the Chicago Wolves during their first round best three out of five series but were unable to get the job done.
The Griffins won game three after the two teams split the first pair of games in Chicago putting Grand Rapids into the driver’s seat. Game three was merely insane; it was a blood bath that had one player stretchered off the ice.
