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

[Monstershockey]

Hershey hasn't lost 3 in a row all year. The 2 they lost in a row was the first time all year they lost 2 in a row. They haven't lost in OT at home all year. Need to break through.

Monsters tie with 32 left. Yes!

Josh Dunne!

You can thank me - I gave up on the Monsters and turned it off and of course they scored.

I didn't think they could do it 3 times in this series, but there it is.

Oh, and thanks.

I almost did the same thing... They scored maybe 5 minutes after I turned it on to tie it.

Same. I switched over to the other game just in time to watch the Panthers tie it up, so I guess I'm stuck with this now.

Yep, I saw the Panthers goal.

 

[punk_o_holic]

Cleveland won? Who got the winner?
Edit, just saw a tweet Jake Christiansen forces game 7

 

[Monstershockey]

Christainsen wins it! Oh my!

On to game 7! I can't believe this!

 

[CBJx614]

Let's f***ing gooo!

 

[koteka]

Crazy shot to win it after the Bears goalie stopped several good scoring chances.

This time I saw the Monsters goal and then flipped over to see a Panthers goal.

Mateychuk and Pearson with the assists. Nice screen by Dunne. He has been huge in these playoffs.Unbelievable. Third time is the charm.

 

[squashmaple]

The Monsters haven’t lost since Mateychuk entered the lineup.

 

[CBJ goalie]

That game was FUN to watch.
Loved that they tied it within 17 seconds of that potential series winning goal.
Gotta admit, the Hershey goalie almost stole it.

Game 7 gonna be awesome.

Some bulletin board material, but I guess Coachella Valley is in Hershey to prepare and adjust for the Eastern time zone. If Hershey beats us, the Calder cup final would be starting in Hershey

If Cleveland were to win in 7, the final would open in Coachella valley not Cleveland.

Is this confirmed? That is crazy..

 

[CBJx614]

That pass by Mateychuk, literally tape to tape from across the ice.

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Is this confirmed? That is crazy..

I assume someone signed off on this move from high up the Kraken chain , but it has a 'piss the hockey gods off" kind of vibe and it could also be a colossal waste of money on an AHL budget.

I can live with it so long as they end up pissed off in our favor.

Of all the games I had to miss! Hopefully my city council meeting on Wednesday wraps up in time to watch the game.

Lol, I just saw it was Gaunce that got the game tying goal and not Dunne, as I had posted. I guess I was just used to Dunne coming through I just assumed it was him. Good for Gaunce though. He is playing well since his return.

Yeah Dunne was right there, but must have deflected in off the defender.

On to game 7! I can't believe this!

I was emotionally prepared for a loss after 2nd period as Hershey was pressing and Monsters didn't seem to have anything left in the tank. It's weird how they can appear so defeated for long stretches in games but one good shift from whatever line and suddenly they are revitalized.

This series have made me realize how important hard-working bottom-of-the-lineup players like Whelan and Ahcan can be to a team. They're more than warm bodies. When other forwards look tired and are struggling to make clears or get pucks deep from the NZ, powerful skaters like them step up and bring some life to the team by skating pucks to the other end and try keeping possession there. Whelan deserves an assist for his effort on the OT winner.
