Griffins Get Big Performances From Several Players In A 7-4 Win Over The Gulls

There was a buzz in the air in Van Andel Arena Friday night when the Griffins hosted the San Diego Gulls. Maybe it was the $2 beers many people in the crowd were drinking, maybe it was the excitement of getting Andreas Athanasiou back and having Tomas Jurco return for a conditioning stint. Maybe it was the budding hope that after a win on Wednesday night, the Griffins could pull off another win and make it two in a row for the first time all season. For me, there was a nervous excitement that combined hope, optimism, and a little bit of fear.
