Red Wings Affiliate Releases Shocking Statement Blaming Fans for Recent Loss
A recent incident in an AHL game is causing a stir on social medias.
A Tough Loss for the Griffins
The Grand Rapids Griffins played yesterday agaist the Cleveland Monsters.
The team held a charity event, selling foam pucks to fans.
In the ending minutes of the third period, they scored twice to force the overtime. But they got a controversial penalty, and the Monsters scored in the Power Play.
A few fans decided it was a good idea to throw the foam pucks on the ice, and the refs handed a two minutes penalty to the Griffins for delaying the game.
Team Blames Fans for Loss
The Griffins released a statement after the game, putting the blame of the loss on the fans who threw the pucks on the ice.
While we're proud of our team's resilient effort and the support of our loyal fans, we can't say the same about these nine individuals - out of a crowd of nearly 6,000 - who caused this unprecedented situation. several of them were immediately ejected from the arena, and the "owner" of every puck thrown has been identified and will be addressed.
Furthermore, our organization is actively looking at all possible changes for this promotion to ensure that this activity does not happen at a future game.
While fan who threw the pucks s are definitely in the wrong here, the team blaming them for their loss is a bit surprising. While they caused the penalty, they weren't to blame for all the other goals the team scored.
