Laying an egg isn’t all it’s cracked up to be, but is inevitable.

Monday night, the Grand Rapids Griffins learned a lot by laying the above-mentioned egg. Their opponent baited the Grand Rapids Grifins players and they fell for every trick. Captain Josiah Didier took the highest number of penalties with 2, meanwhile fellow veterans Austin Czarnik, Radim Šimek, and Dominik Shine joined the sinbin parade. Culminating in American Hockey League (AHL) rookie Marco Kasper earning a 10 minute misconduct.

Maybe they were ready to go golfing again, cranky, or missed their top defenseman in Simon Edvinsson. He’s day to day and is possible for game 3, but he isn’t a guarantee to play.

The loss of 1 player isn't the reason for the Grand Rapids Griffins have dropped 2 games straight. There are many reasons for the lack of results.

Where’s the fire of the Grand Rapids Griffins? We’ll find the spark, recap Nate Danielson’s AHL debut, and the updated unofficial Grand Rapids Griffins playlist.

With 2 games played, Danielson is looking to help the team regain their top form for game 4 of the series.
