Graced By Rain

Hello my loves <3 Starting today, I will no longer be posting or reposting from this account. At the end of the season, it will be deleted. My coverage will be fully at @imaraindancer instead of split between the two. So, please, join me over there. 🫶

It's Monday!!! Time for another episode of "The Beauty of @griffinshockey !" 🎧 open.spotify.com/episode/68rLhI… 📺 youtu.be/gIhm3C1a490 #GoGRG #LGRW @TheAHL

The AHL's leading scorer has been called up to the Detroit Red Wings. In 20 games with the Grand Rapids Griffins, Leonard has 29 points (19g, 10a), 2 power play goals, 2 shorthanded goals, 7 game winners, and two shootout goals. #gogrg #lgrw @GracedByRainPod

The Grand Rapids Griffins take down the Chicago Wolves, 2-1, in a shootout to improve their record to 22-1-0-1. John Leonard with the shootout winner. Carter Gylander stopped 28 or 29 shots. #gogrg #lgrw @GracedByRainPod

Dominick Fensore strips Tyler Angle of the puck at the blue line setting in motion a set of beautiful passes before Justin Robidas guves Chicago the 1-0 lead. An out of place William Wallinder left that side of the ice defenseless. #gogrg #lgw #lgrw @GracedByRainPod

Antti Tuomisto hasn't been afraid to use his strength this season. Loving the way he sticks to opponents on the way to the net. Then pushes them further away from his goaltender after the whistle blows. It's been fun watching him hone his game. #gogrg #lgrw @GracedByRainPod

Just a small glimpse into how Ian Mitchell has been playing as an extension of the goaltender the past few games. Today, it's allowed Carter Gylander to have a chance to breathe and focus on the side of the net where the play is located. #gogrg #lgrw @GracedByRainPod

It has been very fun to watch Antti Tuomisto grow as a defender. Hopefully the Red Wings organization take a moment to see that he's worth keeping around at the end of the season. #gogrg #lgrw

IT’S GAME DAY‼️ Bring it on, Wolves #GoGRG 📍 : Allstate Arena ⏰ : 4 PM 💻 : AHLTV on FloHockey flosports.link/4cFt2gT 📻 : WOOD Radio ihr.fm/42LFx8n

Whether it be as a teammate or coach, Brian Lashoff has been with Dominik Shine every step of the way. Tonight, we talked about the amazing penalty kill and what it's been like watching Dominik Shine grow into the Captain he is today. #gogrg #lgrw @GracedByRainPod @TheAHL

It's been an honor and a privilege to cover Dominik Shine <3 #gogrg #lgrw

Oh my!! Look at all those incredible milestones <3 #gogrg #lgrw

Ian Mitchell has done an incredible job of acting as an extension of Sebastian Cossa and has been phenomenal in the crease tonight. He has been a lovely addition to the blue line. #gogrg #lgrw @GracedByRainPod

After two periods of play, the Grand Rapids Griffins still lead the Rockford IceHogs, 1-0. It's been an evenly matched game between the two squads. #gogrg #lgrw @GracedByRainPod

Grand Rapids heads to the locker room leading Rockford, 1-0. Much better start for the Griffins than the past 5 games. They came out quicker & more focused. Their net front presence has been noticeable, allowing them to easily pick up rebounds. #gogrg #lgrw @GracedByRainPod

I really like the Griffins second power play unit of Austin Watson, Eduards Tralmaks, Tyler Angle, Antti Tuomisto, and Jakub Rychlovsky. The entire unit is quick to shoot and quick to set up. Both units are great. I just really enjoy ppu2. #gogrg #lgrw @GracedByRainPod

Nolan Moyle laid a nice, hard hit behind Sebastian Cossa, and then skated down to the other end to lay another hit behind Drew Commesso. A litttle under 11 to play in the first period. Griffins and Ice Hogs tied at zero. #gogrg #lgrw @GracedByRainPod

Guys, I'm so sorry. They are only honoring Dominik Shine tonight. John Leonard will receive his award on the 21st. #gogrg #lgrw @GracedByRainPod

Coop waving to the crowd at @VanAndelArena is the moat precious thing ever 🥹 #gogrg #lgrw @GracedByRainPod
