[Monstershockey]

Johnson scored from Svozil. Two quick Rochester goals make 3-2 Americans. Johnson's goal on the power play.

 

[Monstershockey]

Bjork from Johnson and Pyyhtia. Johnson has a goal and 2 assists. Down 4-3 early 3rd.

 

[Monstershockey]

Bemstrom ties it up. Christainsen and Johnson with helpers. Bemstrom two goals, Johnson 1-3-4. Tied at 4.

 

[Monstershockey]

Meyer from Gaunce and Bjork. 5-4. Need this game to jump back into 1st, unless Syracuse wins.

Edit: 5-5. Ugh.

I got it on the radio between periods.

Not a lot of defense in this game. Now 6-5 Rochester. Greaves not as bad as the numbers show.

You at the game or watching a stream?

 

[Monstershockey]

Game pretty much over. 7-5 empty net goal sealed it. Plus we got a penalty after the goal.

As always want to thank @Monstershockey for the updates.

 

[Michigan Magic]

Thanks for the updates.

At Cleveland is in the Cup hunt!

 

[Monstershockey]

You're welcome.

Tough loss. A couple of wasted offensive efforts. Defense non-existant. Oh well.

How has Svozil's defensive game been since coming back from concussion?

They are trying to run the same system in Cleveland as Columbus so when a guy like TF-W gets called up, he can slot right in. I heard that on the radio the other day. So wasting offensive efforts and non existent defense might be part of that plan.

 

[Michigan Magic]

So we can blame Vincent for their failures as well.

I think he has been fine. Re-watched most of the game and really didn't see anything bad on his part. He took over Blankenburg's spot last night as he was sick. I'm not seeing any ill effects in his game.

I didn't pick it up last night, but noticed this morning that they had Bemstrom taking faceoffs in the 3rd with Johnson on the wing. Bemstom wasn't bad, and actually won the faceoff to Johnson that set up his second goal. Not sure why the switch was made as Johnson was taking faceoffs earlier.

How has KJ been at center? Maybe his faceoff % last night was awful and the coaching staff decided to let Bemstrom try.

When I was watching him earlier, he seemed to be 50/50 on the ones I remember. Maybe he got worse as the game went on. As far as playing goes, he has been getting his points, but his lack of strength when engaging with other players is pretty evident. He has a ways to go on that.

There have been times where he tries to move a guy off the puck and really doesn't accomplish much. He still can get pushed around a bit.

 

[Michigan Magic]

Well at least we get one night without tragedy. At least I can listen to the Monsters game on the radio tonight. 1350 the gambler!

You at the game tonight Monster?

 

[Michigan Magic]

Checkers is a fitting name for Charlotte.

Nah, its a road game. I watch the road games on AHL tv.

 

[Monstershockey]

Gaunce from Robinson. Up 1-0 halfway through the first. Robinson made the wise move of passing the puck instead of shooting.
