WOW! the Yzerpan is working in GR too!!!!

It seems like half of a season of below average pro-hockey for 19/20 year olds doesn't determine bust status, who would've thought?
Kasper and Cossa have both turned it on with still a lot of room for growth; Cossa already has better numbers than Wallstedt and Kasper has been a big part of the Griffins run.

The Griffs blew a 3-0 lead to lose to 5-4 to Rockford in OT yesterday. They haven't lost in regulation in 18 games now (13-0-5). Half of the games have been decided in OT or SO. If we didn't have OT they would be 9-0-9

Kasper is not in the lineup tonight vs. Cleveland.

EDIT: Kaser reports the issue is a minor upper body injury.
