Any hockey team will tell you that ideally, you like to go into the postseason with some momentum. Even if it’s just a little.
But the Griffins, the Red Wings’ minor-league affiliate, will open the American League playoffs Friday in Chicago having lost nine straight games.
Momentum? Maybe, but it was going in the opposite direction.
I literally did a double take when I read that the Griffins lost *NINE STRAIGHT GAMES* to end the regular season.
Holy sh*t.
I, admittedly, haven’t paid close attention to them this season, so this is a surprise to me.
