Atta boy, Brendan Smith.

(Darren Breen - The Grand Rapids Press)

One game played.

One shot.

One goal.

Not too bad for his Griffin debut.

Smith's goal came 3:09 into the game on the power play.  Throughout the game, he was paired with TPL favorite Doug Janik.  Griffins' coach Curt Fraser had Smith playing in all types of game situations last night.  Smith had a lot to say about his debut to Michael Zuidema of The Grand Rapids Press:

Smith logged plenty of ice time in his debut and was a regular on  the power play and penalty kill.

"Obviously, the coaches are taking a look at me and how I adjust to the pro game," he said. "I was happy to get out there and play all situations. And hopefully, I played well enough to keep doing it."

Unfortunately, the Griffins lost to the Abbotsford Heat 3-2 in a SO.  Here is what Smith and other teammates had to say about the game.
