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

[Doggy]

Coming up for the game next Thursday vs those hated Belleville Senators...looking forward to it! Combined with dinner and a beer at Collision Bend Brewing will make it a good night

 

[Monstershockey]

Monsters up 3-2 after 2 against the Hartford Wolf Pack. Meyer with 2 goals. Tarasov started shaky, but has played well. 24 saves on 26 shots. Hopefully they can add one or two and pull this out.

 

[Monstershockey]

LDBB wins it in overtime beating Hartford 4-3. Tarasov had 36 saves on 39 shots with some big saves late. Nice win considering all the players they have lost recently.

 

[Monstershockey]

Monsters lose 5-3. Had plenty of chances to be in the game, but couldn't capitalize. Couldn't get the momentum. Tarasov had 23 saves on 26 shots. He hasn't been bad in his games played.

With the current recalls in Columbus is the roster glut in Cleveland better? Or are some "important" guys still sitting?

 

[Monstershockey]

They have some injuries. Dunne, Angle and Matteau have been out. Everyone on the roster played except Knazko. Not much left here. Not sure there is anyone here that would be considered important to CBJ other than Tarasov.

 

[Monstershockey]

Monsters getting smoked. 5-0 middle of the 2nd. Cajan out, Tarasov now in. First 3 goals were PP goals, one being a 5 on 3. Cajan never had a chance. Monsters haven't really created a decent scoring chance. Bears goalie leads the league in GAA and save pct. Wonder if they will even score.

Any idea who is in goal tonight since I am coming to the game? Should I expect LDBB to be in the lineup?

Edited: surface lot says $33 and garage says $10 for Monsters games. So garage it is. Sounds like it opens 3 hours prior to game so that should work. Still have a question though...

Wanted to go to dinner at Collision Bend and park down in the Flats. Then drive up for the game getting to the garage around 645. Does the garage typically fill up quickly and do I need to make other plans?

Could I park at the garage around 5:30 and maybe just Uber down to Collision Bend and back?

- I'm always there when the gates open, so I can't help you re: how quickly the garage fills up.
- 6:45 seems pretty tight to see faceoff given the ultratight security at RMFH (the one big league facility I've been to that sill insists on the "pull everything out of your pockets" metal detectors).
- DBB should play, we barely have 18 skaters as it is
- no idea re: goalie
- no idea re: the Flats or Uber (two things I usually avoid)

Thanks, does the garage open by 5:30?

I really wanted to show my buddy the East Bank of The Flats since they fixed it up but might have to save it for next summer when we can sit outside along the boardwalk. Schedule just too tight anyway. So just gonna hit Southern Tier Brewing Company on Prospect so we can hoof it from garage to dinner to game.

Like Jackets Woodchuck said, 6:45 would be pushing it if we get a decent crowd. Being a Thursday chances are the crowd will be smaller, so it may work out. The atrium at the arena opens at 5:30 and that is when I get there also.

I think the garage opens at 4 for the Huron Road entrance, but not sure. We get there about 5:15 and go in the Bolivar entrance, just past the ballpark going north on 9th Street.

Never been to Collision Bend and off the top of my head I'm not sure how to get to the arena from there. It will be rush hour, so the traffic may not cooperate.

I am thinking Greaves plays tonight. He gets most of the games, and they haven't played for a while. If Dunne and Angle are still out DBB should draw in as there isn't anyone else right now.

Good call on Southern Tier. From what I've heard, the Flats are more fun in the summer anyway.

Two fights in first 12 minutes. I think Cleveland and Belleville don’t like each other

You watching or just boxscore? Id be curious to see what led up to Malatesta getting a 2, 5 and 10 for fighting Sokolov

Not sure what that fight was about. I don't think the Bellville player knew either because when he got in the box he looked at Malatesta and was like WTF? Malatesta took out the goalie earlier, but it wasn't on purpose and no one scuffled about it.

 

[Doggy]

Malatesta was jacked. I think he just wanted to jump start the team and crowd.

Sounds like he just picked the biggest guy on the ice and went after him

My buddy and I drove up for the game.

I think so. He was trying to fire up the guys. They looked awful against Hershey and maybe he sensed they are flat again.

 

[Monstershockey]

Damn. The zamboni left so much water behind the net players are leaving a wake behind them when they skate through it.

 

[Monstershockey]

Malaresta fired himself up. 2 goals tonight. Just needs the assist for the Gordie Howe. Bjork also with a goal. 3-0.

 

[Monstershockey]

Monsters win 5-1. Greaves with 33 saves.

 

[Doggy]

Greaves was outstanding tonight.

 

[Monstershockey]

Chuck a bear night. Pearson scored, Malatesta with an assist, didn't catch the other one. 1-0 midway through the 2nd.
