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

[Double-Shift Lasse]

Went to a game in the first round - my first ever Monsters game. Told my buddy “you know we’re going to want to come back if they make the finals.”

I had pretty much shelved the idea of having to decide but them making things interesting is making things interesting.

Whelan-Dunne-Pearson line has been our best line these playoffs. It seems like they just showed up out of nowhere. They have been a pleasant surprise.

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.

TFW needs to make his mark. A surprisingly quiet playoff so far for the guy who led them in scoring.

Win or lose this is the fire that forges young players into experienced veterans! Exactly what I've said a good number of our youngsters needed. Shame, some/most on the big club didn't have this schooling.

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

He hasn't been on the ice for a goal against in those 3 games.

Is that good?

He’s going to make it very hard for the org to keep him in Cleveland next season.

Is the game tonight available on ESPN+?

You can stream the radio broadcast on 1350AM The Gambler out of Akron. Easy link on their website.

Side note, do we have any idea what happened to LDBB? I can't find anything.. Anywhere

It could just be a numbers game, as it has been for Ceulemans. There isn't an easier player to take out of the lineup.

That’s a solid move right there.

Surveying his empire

 

[Cowumbus]

Jiricek looking…. Not very good tbh

Not sure what he’s thinking on some of his reads.

 

[Cowumbus]

Mateychuk is the real deal. TFW PP goal to start off the scoring in game 7.

 

[Monstershockey]

TFW with the PPG. Get him going.

 

[CBJWerenski8]

What a moronic play by Sillinger to shove the dude into greaves. 1-1.

 

[Monstershockey]

That was unfortunate.

 

[puckgoalnet]

Jiricek, Mateychuk, Zboril all playing a good game tonight. They've been frustrating Hershey, keep it up.

2-1 Hershey. It’s been all bears in the second
