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

[tunnelvision]

Svozil took a pretty hard hit early in the Monsters game. Left under his own power I guess, Griffins production is all over the place and all you could see was his head go by. Hard to tell if he was hit in the head, but I wouldn't be surprised if he has a concussion.

You can see the hit right at the beginning. Probably a concussion but I guess they will never tell us. Hope it won't be a long-term "upper body injury".

Gaunce wins it in OT. Meyer with 2 goals. Robinson had an assist and 2 breakaways which he missed on. Greaves had 33 saves on 35 shots. Svozil never came back. The hit on him was pretty bad, but no penalty was called.

Edit: got to hand it to the Griffin fans for getting a penalty to give the Monsters the PP in overtime. Never seen that happen before.

Sounds like Robby hasn’t skipped a beat in Cleveland.

 

[Monstershockey]

Robinson finally scores after missing yet another breakaway. Nice sharp angle shot to tie game 12 seconds after going down 1-0.

 

[Monstershockey]

Pyyhtia scores on a nice give and go with Del Bel Belluz. Del Bel Belluz has looked good these last to games so far. Chinakov also missed on a breakaway, but has looked good.

 

[Monstershockey]

Blankenberg scores for Monsters. Three game point streak for him. 3-2 Monsters. Ex-Jacket Keith Kinkaid is the Chicago goalie.

 

[Monstershockey]

Sillinger and Chinakov with goals to go up 5-3. McKown just scored as I was typing this. Del Bel Belluz with another assist. Blankenberg also with another assist. 3 goals in less than a minute. 6-3.

The Sillinger goal may change to Bjork as his shot didn't look deflected, as of now it is Sillingers goal.

 

[MoeBartoli]

This Monsters line up right now is really loaded. They should be posting some big nights. Great to hear they are. Keep those updates coming. Much appreciated.

 

[Monstershockey]

After spending a good chunk of their PP in their own zone, Christainsen scores with 4 seconds left on PP. 7-3 with 3 and a half left.

 

[Monstershockey]

7-3 final. 3rd straight win. Malatesta also had an assist for his first pro point.

D Pairs (best guess)
Bjork/Blankenburg
Christiansen/Clayton - this is the pair I have the highest confidence that I got right
Sweezey/Ceulemans

Very spirited, fast-paced practice, especially at the beginning. While the Monsters have played better than the Big Club recently, Vogelhuber made sure they don't coast on their recent success.

@Jackets Woodchuck Any sight of Svozil in the morning skate?

 

[Monstershockey]

Still no Svozil. A few Monsters already wearing neck guards. A Monsters rep was dropping stuff from her folder so I picked it up for her and it turns out she is the one that gets the fans to sit on the bench for warm up. So we got to sit ob the bench. Pretty cool.

 

[Monstershockey]

TFW from Chinakov and Christainsen 1-1.

 

[Monstershockey]

Chinakov from Blankenberg and TFW. PP goal. Monsters entered the game 12th on the PP at 20.8 percent. Back on the PP now.

 

[Monstershockey]

Chinakov from Blankenberg and TFW. PP goal. I don't think any of his goals in the AHL have come from closer than 15 feet. This last goal he put the only spot it had a chance to go in. Greaves has 16 saves on 18 shots. 3-2 Cleveland.

 

[Monstershockey]

Once again Monsters with the late penalty only to give the tying goal. Under review, but there were a few tenths of a second left. So frustrating.

 

[Monstershockey]

Pyyhtia wins it in the shootout with a fantastic move. Greaves with a great save on the shooter before. Finished with 35 saves on 38 shots. Chinakov 2-1-3, plus a goal in the shootout. Four straight wins.

 

[ViD]

Yegor getting ready to come back soon

[tunnelvision]

Chinakhov often likes to aim pucks to go just over the pad doesn't he? Seems to be working. It looks his stickhandling has gotten a bit sharper.

 

[KJ Dangler]

I’m still convinced Chinakov has star potential at the NHL level… he was put in the nhl much too early . Have to imagine a call up is coming ant time now
