"Difficult moments"

in Two games with two goals on two shots and a plus/minus reading of +3. It should have been enough, display your Ducks coach Bruce Boudreaulle .

Not enough.

Grant sent two after the game farm and invite Ducksiin anymore.

It was a difficult moment. I had been waiting four years for an opportunity to play in the NHL and then I was sent to farm. I assume I'd get more than two games in time to give screens. The Ducks, however, received the standard defence of the infirmary, and it knew me leaving down, Grant said.

the Shot facing Teemua

Grant was Ducksissa game as friends Teemu Selanne , Saku Koivu and Sami Vatanen .

I wasn't there very long, but they were all nice guys. Teemu came the first day to introduce herself. With sam we were staying in the same hotel, Grant said.

Although Grant played in only two games Ducksissa and the second Ridge was not in the assembly, Grant a chance to scare the Finnish star.

– Teemu fed me the puck a start point of the arc and was only going to paint the front of the mask, when the shot hit him. By the time we exchange Teemu said that, next time wait a little longer before you shoot, Grant, chuckling.

I'm Trying to get the NHL on different teams. Especially the Boston bruins ' farm, I had the strong and also the number in the light of a good season, but the call up never came. Last season after I started to find myself a new address. I think that it is best to come to Helsinki, which is the NHL's the best league, i.e. the KHL and the best team, i.e. Jokers.

Grant's family includes wife and 2-year-old boy. Family growth any day of the daughter, as Grant's wife's due date is 14. February.

Helsinki is a city which feels safe, also next season Jokereissa player, Grant said.

the Grant is already done jokerit defenders of the single-season goals record in the KHL. 53 match the power points have accumulated 32 (12+20).
