Griffins Begin Busy Home Week Tonight
Published on March 26, 2008 under American Hockey League (AHL)
Grand Rapids Griffins News Release
- The Griffins tonight begin a stretch of three home games in four nights by hosting the finale of their 10-game season series against the Lake Erie Monsters. A coupon offering $10 lower bowl and $5 upper bowl tickets to tonight's game can be found at griffinshockey.com.
- With the top five teams in the West Division now guaranteed to finish with better records than Grand Rapids (which would trigger the crossover rule), the Griffins' last playoff hope rests on catching the Syracuse Crunch, who currently reside 19 points ahead of Grand Rapids in third place in the North Division. To avoid missing the playoffs for just the third time in their 12 seasons, the Griffins have to win all 10 of their remaining games, while the Crunch can garner no more than a single point over their final 10 games.
TICKETS: Tickets for tonight's game are available at The Zone at Van Andel Arena and all Star Tickets Plus outlets, including Meijer stores. Call 222-4000 / 800-585-3737 or purchase online at griffinshockey.com.
