@russ_einarson @IllegalCurve Only real issue was his last game in the OHL was April 16th and then he was rehabbing an injury. So don’t really know how close he was to full health.

@ICdave @IllegalCurve Hey Dave for a team that was starving for offence surprised they didn’t give He a chance.

That will do it as the Moose fall in the second round of the Calder Cup Playoffs to the best in the west Griffins by a final score of 5-2 who take it 3 games to 1. Manitoba’s season is over but still plenty to come on illegalcurve.com

@Melitonenn It’s a fair comment. Looking at the team at the start of the year I didn’t think offence would be their biggest weakness.

@ICdave Am I wrong to think this team is too good to be generating as little offense as they do? Feels like something needs to be shaken up asap.

Manitoba Moose season comes to an end as Griffins win series in Grand Rapids illegalcurve.com/manitoba-moose…

And the two teams, which had quite the battle in this series, shake hands as the Griffins will advance and the Moose will return to Manitoba with their season over. Plenty more to come on illegalcurve.com

Manitoba pushing to get within one but Grand Rapids fires one into the empty net from long range to basically seal the deal.

Phil Di Giuseppe gets the Moose within two late in the 3rd.

Another power play goal for the Griffins as they take a commanding lead in this elimination game with the Moose.

Moose pushing but the Griffins take advantage of the turnover and turn it into a 3-1 lead off a 2 on 1.

The Moose trail by one heading into the 2nd intermission of their elimination game. Dylan Anhorn tied the game early in the middle frame and then Axel Sandin-Pellikka gave the Griffins the lead back. Big 3rd period coming up for Manitoba in Grand Rapids. #AHL #MBMoose

Axel Sandin-Pellikka with a great individual effort to give the Griffins the lead back. Second power play goal for Grand Rapids this game.

The Moose got the memo in the intermission as they tie the game. Dylan Anhorn with the goal.

Good start to the middle frame for the Moose as they get an early chance.
