Some notes/thoughts on the insane Grand Rapids Griffins game I went to last night

-The “Jared Goff” chant has now infected Grand Rapids

-I got Dippin' Dots in a little souvenir helmet—Wings need to please get on this trend so that I can have a matching Wings helmet 😭

-There was a Johnsonville sausage zamboni?????

-Berggren and Lombardi were the very last ones on the ice for warm ups (Berggren got off right after Lombardi)

-Our guys love getting penalties…

-… and their penalty kill is sponsored by Tito’s vodka?! (Whether it’s a successful PK or not, at least you can down vodka, I guess)

-And having the power play be sponsored by a power company (DTE) is fucking brilliant (even if I hate DTE)

-Holy shit Simon Edvinsson and Elmer Söderblom really do dwarf everyone else… they made the goalies look tiny. 😳

-One of the opponent’s gloves fell off mid play and Edvinsson nudged it away with his stick when the guy went to grab it lmaoooooooooooo (bitchy as hell, and I appreciate that)

-It was “what could have been” and , so they used an old potential logo/team name the whole night and really committed to the bit—they were the Grand Rapids Flying Toasters???

-The team wore toaster jerseys for the entire game, and they handed out jerseys at the door...

-… and they sold themed pucks! (I had to get one for my collection, naturally)

-Even the jumbotron and big screen had flying toasters!

-Everyone was chanting FLYING TOASTERS instead of LET'S GO GRIFFINS

-And the jumbotron said, "MAKE SOME TOASTERS" instead of "MAKE SOME NOISE" (Why not “make some toast”???)

-The guys next to me went from chanting, "FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT" at one point to chanting "TOAST THAT BREAD"

-There was a failed attempt at a Michigan goal and some guy near me yelled, "That's burnt toast!"

-Then later on that same guy yelled, "Edvinsson, you can toast my strudel any day!"

-I got to see a Berggren goal!!! 😭💕

-There was a huge fight at the end with a minute left that resulted in a bunch of guys getting ejected, and the goalies almost went at it too (and I caught a good chunk of it on video!)

-There were super tender goalie taps!!! (Can't include more than one video on a single post—happy to share the video I got, though.)

-Söderblom was third star, Czarnik was second star, and my favorite shit-eater Berggren was first star!!! 😻
