Griffins On a Hot Streak

Megan over at On the Wings has a very good update on the Grand Rapids Griffins. The team struggled early this year but just finished their best month of hockey:

[The team] went 8-2 in February, for a 14-7 record in 2007. This was highlighted by a six game win streak from January 27 through February 17. They have one more game, tonight at Rochester, to close out the month. Their record currently stands at 29-22-4-2. This record is good enough for the final playoff spot of the Western conference, two points ahead of Peoria.

The Griffins lost to the Rochester Americans 3-2. But it was an overtime loss as Darryl Bootland scored to tie the game with 14 seconds left in regulation, so the Griffins picked up a point.
