Greaves loses his bid for a 2nd straight shutout with less than a minute left, but gets the win 3-1. We had an empty net goal to make it 3-0, but it was called back on a slashing call on Clayton, and Toronto capitalized on a 6 on 4 PP. Gambrell added an EN goal to secure the win. 33 saves for Greaves.

Monsters 12-0 against Toronto in the last 2 seasons, 17-2-1-1 in the last 5. Currently hold 2nd over Laval who plays now. 4 points behind Rochester.

1-0 Marlies after one. Just 3 shots on goal for Cleveland. It would have been 2-0 if not for an outstanding defensive play by Brindley late in the period, knocking away the puck from a Toronto llayer with a wide open net.

Need to wake up.

Maybe they are listening to the Marlies commentator. I've never heard someone so boring.

Hopefully Ceulemans is ok

Brindley! Nice read on the PP and a goal on their 5th shot of the game almost halfway through the 2nd

No doubt. I was trying to rewind to see the hit but could only hear it. You can hear him hit the boards and the crowd react, but can't see it. Clifford is a chump. He was taking cheap shots last time Toronto was here.

Luckily I can get the Monsters radio stream to listen to.

Nice goal to tie it from Brindley.

It was a puck up the boards and Ceulemans turned around to collect it while Clifford saw what was happening so he was able to present his back and brace for impact. Toronto feed didn't want to show it much but they had the view

Woke the Monsters up a bit

I'm guessing it was a clean hit as no penalty, and I am sure our announcer would have said something, but he never even brought up that there should have been one. Just unfortunate.

I don't think it was malicious but he did invite contact on a player not expecting it with a loose puck. Could have been interference but no call isn't a brutal call. Vogelhuber gave the ref a piece of his mind though

Big win. Greaves solid again, 32 saves. He seems to be in a nice groove right now. Brindley, Butler, Grimaldi, and Gambrell with goals.

Laval comes into Cleveland for the weekend, hopefully can get some space between them with some wins.

I missed the middle portion of that game but from what I saw it was one of those do all the things to lose but still find a way to win. Giving up 5 PPs and getting heavily outshot by a team whose goalie was at a .930SV% before tonight doesn't often end well. Good character win against a team they apparently own

Yeah. I think Greaves might have stolen that one. Not much offensively all game, but they made a few chances count. Overall I think the defense played well. Nice to see Bowie back, but not sure about how PTO's work. I think they have to make a decision at 25 games, and Bowie is right there. He may have signed already though and I might have missed it.

Sucks to maybe lose Ceulemens for a bit, hope he is ok.

Luca Del Bel Belluz with 37 points through 34 games. Pretty impressive stats so far, he seems to create a lot of his own chances too.
