2014-2015 Manchester Monarchs - 2015 Calder Cup Champions!

You cant simply deny the Kings prefer big sized players more than pretty much most other teams. Below 6'0 you must be really special to get ice time here.
 
From the Union Leader's article on David Van Der Gulik, what to expect from Hartford tonight:

“Hartford is going to be tough,” said Van der Gulik. “They’ve got the talent. They’ve got a great power play (and) Chris Bourque and those guys. It’s going to be a tough challenge for us but we believe in here that we’ve got what it takes so it’s going to be exciting.”

Out of the remaining postseason teams, Hartford owns the third-best power play unit, scoring on 16.3 percent of its man-advantages. The Wolf Pack were 17th in the league on the power play in the regular season, scoring on 16.9 percent of their opportunities. - See more at: http://www.unionleader.com/article/20150520/SPORTS0702/150529954/-1/sports0702#sthash.tzU5kmFC.dpuf

“Everybody has their job to do and we support each other and I think we’ve got to be conscious of the fact that Hartford has some explosive offense,” said Stothers. “They have some game-breaker type players with Bourque and (Joey) Crabb and you know what? They like to take advantage of their power-play opportunities so we want to stay on the ice. We want to stay disciplined.” - See more at: http://www.unionleader.com/article/20150520/SPORTS0702/150529954/-1/sports0702#sthash.qzMuQE0x.dpuf

Of course I step away from the computer for a few minutes because the game hadn't started yet and I just miss the Mersch goal. I should know this by now. Never, never be late to a Monarchs playoff game.

SD, I can't usually can't connect to tunein on mobile, just on a laptop.

Monarchs killing a Dowd penalty. "Knocked down by Crescenzi." "Knocked down by O'Neill who was ferociously hounding the puck." "Intercepted by Van Der Gulik." Shorthanded attempt by Mersch.

Thanks for the advice. I finally got connected.
 
Lindberg ties it up. 1-1.

SD, no problem. Glad you connected.

Sounds like Hartford is the most difficult opponent yet. Gotta step away for about 20 minutes.
 
1-1 after 1.

The Monarchs dominated the first 10 minutes of play. But once Hartford got a powerplay, they got a goal, a controlled play for about 8 minutes. The Monarchs did come on strong during the final 3 minutes though. Manch has just got stay out of the penalty box! Again...
 
It's not the like the Kings missed out with any of these smaller guys...

Where are Loktionov, Kozun, and Vey now? Only one is a full time NHL'er....Moulson has been the Kings only real mistake. Purcell had 1-2 good years and back to mediocrity, but he was big.
 
ha ha, again mersch plants himself in front and takes the opportunity. 3-1 yes!

rookies are killing it!:handclap:
 
Mersch making it 3-1!

Monarchs announcer giving Hartford respect, calling the team a formidable opponent.

I missed both the Dowd goal and the 2nd Mersch goal trying to install Google Chrome because Firefox is slower than molasses on a cold day.
