Ice Griffs drop a pair in Springfield



The ice griffs, went into Springfield, Ma this weekend to take on American International for a pair of games and lost both of them. American International sounds like a phony made up school for a movie.

On Friday they dropped the first game one 3-1, with Josh Heidinger scoring the only goal for the Griffs on Friday. It is the 5th goal on the season for Heidinger who seems to be the only real threat on the Griffs night in night out so far this season. Andrew Loewen made 23 saves in the loss. And according to the box score, the Griffs had an empty net for almost 4 minutes of the game and AIC didn't score. Mmmm, maybe the Griffs should just stick 6 skaters out there and see what happens.

On Saturday, the result wasn't much different. Getting out to a 0-3 start and finally losing 4-2 to AIC. Derek Danowski and yes Josh Heidinger scored for the Griffs. The Griffs fought back to 3-2 until AIC iced the game with a Empty netter. Luker let in 3 goals on 11 shots and was pulled for Loewen in the 2nd. Who came in and didn't let any goals in, but also only had 6 shots in 2 periods. The Griffs obviously locked things down during the game, but it was a little too late to win the game.

This drops the Griffs to 2-7-2 overall and 2-5-1 in the league, which places them dead last. Josh Heidinger is the leading scorer with 6 goals and 12 points. And both goalies have identical stats so neither is better then each other. Their stats are also not so good, probably a reason why the Griffs are hanging in the basement.

Next weekend the Griffs head to Miami (oh) to play a pair against the 11-1 Redhawks. Ooo boy, talk about a bad weekend coming.
