  • We sincerely apologize for the extended downtime. Our hosting provider, XenForo Cloud, encountered a major issue with their backup system, which unfortunately resulted in the loss of some critical data from the past year.

    What This Means for You:

    • If you created an account after March 2024, it no longer exists. You will need to sign up again to access the forum.
    • If you registered before March 2024 but changed your email, username, or password in the past year, those changes were lost. You’ll need to update your account details manually once you're logged in.
    • Threads and posts created within the last year have been restored.
    • Our 2025 light and dark themes were lost, so we are rebuilding them. Light theme is currently available, but work in progress

    Our team is working with Xenforo Cloud to recover data using backups, sitemaps, and other available resources. We know this is frustrating, and we deeply regret the impact on our community. We are taking steps with Xenforo Cloud to ensure this never happens again. This is work in progress. Thank you for your patience and support as we work through this.

Monsters lose a tough one 4-2. Knew it was going to be one of the night when Greaves got caught out of position playing the puck and it ended up in the net 20 seconds in. Knazko and Matteau with the goals.

Monsters lose 3-2 in a shootout with agains Lehigh Valley. Down 2-0 most of the game, Ahcan scored twice in the 3rd to tie it. Had a few chances to win but couldn't convert. Monsters need to put some wins together. Wilkes-Barrie tomorrow. We are awful in the shootout, niether chance was even close to going in.

Monsters blow 4-1 lead to lose 5-4 in OT. Gave up tying goal with 18 seconds left, game winner with 28 seconds left in OT.

Greaves faced 41 shots. I think Dumais got hurt, missed it as my strem wasn't so hot. Didn't see him playing in the third. At least they got a point, but they really need to start inning in regulation. Just not getting it done.
 
Dumais did have a shot on goal in the 3rd, but he wasn't out the last few minutes, or OT. Was watching on my phone so the numbers were hard to see, so it wouldn't surprise me if he was out there and I missed it, but pretty sure he wasn't out there last part of the third.

Monsters lost 5-1 to Rochester last night. Pretty low effort affair as they really didn't look good aside from a couple guys. Volgelhuber has his work cut out for him trying to get these guys fired up again.

Rochester owns us this year, we really struggle against them.

Currently 6 points behind Rochester, 7 behind Laval, and 1 ahead of Toronto, with all 3 of those teams having games in hand.

It's getting tough, hard to replace your top center and defenseman: Mateychuk and LDBB.

LDBB played last night and wasn't too noticeable. I knew it was only a matter of time before Mateychuk was gone so I really didn't put too much stock into him, just enjoyed watching while he was here.

We still have a bunch of the guys who were scoring earlier in the year, but with the exception of TFW, the offense has dried up, and when they do score, so does the other team.

Defensively they have also struggled, and losing Cuelemens has hurt a bit. Bowey and Hunt need to step it up a bit. Lot of odd man rushes last night, two goals on breakaways, a 2 on 0 that Greaves stopped, and an odd man rush while on the PP that ended up in the net.

A big part of last night, though, was we just don't match up well with Rochester. Even earlier in the year when we had everyone, they still beat us soundly.

We have decent AHL talent, but it seems the compete level hasn't been there.

That... actually sounds good if Ceulemans is becoming a useful player for the Monsters. Hopefully the injury isn't too bad and he can get back on the development track soon.

TFW, McKown, Svozil all healthy scrathed tonight. Vogelhuber not happy so he is sending messages to wake some guys up.

Ceulemens also done for the season.

Edit: Malatesta still a few weeks away from playing.
Wow! That’s a strong message for sure.
 
Monsters up 2-0 after 2 over Chicago. After watching the 1st period of 4 nations and then switching to the Monsters game, the difference in game speed is hilarious. It was like watching the game in slow motion.
