Affiliates IX: Cleveland Monsters and more (All Affiliate Talk Here)

[FromChaos22]

How has Bemstrom or March not been called up yet with the jackets struggling? I get it's early and the season doesn't really matter, but is it only if injuries happen?

 

[Monstershockey]

Berni from Marchenko and Gaunce. 1-1. Knazko and Bjork got beat on the first goal.

 

[Monstershockey]

Monsters give up late goal on a 5 on 3 penalty kill. Almost killed it off. Hopefully second period is better. Down 2-1.

 

[Monstershockey]

Tyler Angle with the equalizer. 1st goal. Chicago takes back the lead before I can finish typing this. We need a goalie here. Tarasov?

 

[Monstershockey]

Cajan, 4 goals against, 11 shots. I feel like it's Jeff Zatkoff all over again.

Considering that Korpi is back, Tarasov will be in Cleveland shortly

 

[Monstershockey]

Bemstrom with 5 on 3 PP goal. From Gaunce and Marchenko. 1-1. Game is on Ballys Great lakes tonight.

 

[Jackets Woodchuck]

Game on Bally Sports Greta Lakes right now.

 

[Monstershockey]

Pretty goal by Marchenko from Bemstrom. If you can find it, watch it. Nice.

And right to the box seconds after taking a lead. Typical.

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Pretty goal by Marchenko from Bemstrom. If you can find it, watch it. Nice.

Seriously bring these two up and play them together

They did it again


Here was Bemmer’s goal from earlier

 

[Monstershockey]

Through 9 games the Monsters are 28.6% on the PP. Good for 4th in the league. Tonight they are 2/6 tonight. Pretty good.

Penalty kill at 68.3% coming into tonight, good for 31st. 2/3 tonight. Not so good.

I see Knazko on the PP, attaboy Vogelhuber!

 

[Monstershockey]

Bemstrom again. Let's get the hatty!

 

[Cowumbus]

Bemstrom again. Let's get the hatty!

Yes please

 

[Monstershockey]

Monsters need to learn how to get the puck when the opposing team pulls their goalie.

 

[Evgeny Oliker]

How has Knazko looked so far offensively?

 

[NotTooWideArena]

I watched the third period, and want to give a shout-out to Pavel Cajan. In the third period Chicago pulled their goalie with about four minutes left and he held things together and made a couple of nice stops.
He scrambles a bit, but that may just be his personal style. If I recall correctly, a similar style worked out okay for another Czech-born netminder (Dominik Hasek)...

 

[SavesEmNot]

Bemstrom is tied for the league lead in scoring. Marchenko is the second leading rookie, behind Ruslan Ishakov (who was born one day after Marchenko).

This is a dumb question but what is the difference between assigning and loaning?

As far as I understand it, assigning a player is an assured thing. The team you assign the player to has to take the individual, whereas loaning a player both parties need to agree to the deal.

If I had to guess, this player has an AHL contract. AHL Cleveland does not have the power the NHL does, where they can assign a prospect to the AHL. NHL contracts are somewhat linked to the AHL as well, whereas AHL and ECHL contracts are separate. So with a limited number of roster spots and I’ve time they asked Kalamazoo to take a player that does not have an ECHL contract.

Maybe it is also because Tarasov has a 1 way deal while Jiricek is on the 2 way?

Oh sorry, I thought you were talking about the Tyler Irvine guy.

 

[ViD]

If they are willing to give young guys more top 6 time like they keep doing with Marchenko and Bemstrom even though there’s due for a call up, might as well send Sillinger and Johnson there

 

[tunnelvision]

That’s especially true on power plays, where he’s playing on the right wall opposite Bemstrom. Along with connecting on passes to Bemstrom and others, Marchenko has also used his own shot to score two power-play goals and even has a play named after him.

“He is a hockey nerd and I mean that in the most endearing way,” said Letestu, who has noticed Marchenko trying out moves in practice that he’s seen on NHL Network. “Our first week, he came in, went through our power play meeting and suggested a play … and it’s already worked twice now. So, we just call it ‘The Marchy.’ That’s what I mean. He’s engaged here and I think that’s why he’s having the success he’s having.”

Only strengthens my belief that players in this organisation know better how to orchestrate PP than the coaches.
