I still don’t get why Engstrom was scratched but what do I know. I think he’s been consistently better than Mailloux after the first week of the season.

While his game has plateaued recently, he still was superior to Mailloux. I think Hughes is trying to showcase Mailloux to the gullible. Nothing hurts a player's value more than sitting him at the AHL level.

Engstrom made several mental mistakes in the game prior and I think Vincent wanted him to watch from above. The AHL grind can be tough on a first year European players

Big Games very Big Games Beck you are up lad.

Tuch got rocked into the bench

PP Cleveland

Arseneau 2 for Elbow.

Belleville down 3-0 9 minutes in

 

[Don D]

Good penalty kill!

3 on 2 rush for Cleveland, Engstrom is able to knock the pass down out of the air to break it up..

Rocket getting laid out everywhere and not finishing any of their own hits.

Highly touted Tarasov is the goalie for Cleveland tonight. Goals might be hard to come by.

Highly touted Tarasov is the goalie for Cleveland tonight. Goals might be hard to come by.

Especially when they take terrible shots and all they do is get leveled

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Arseneau leveled by his own teammate.
They blew the whistle and he got off slowly.

Team is absolute trash tonight

Literally haven't noticed Beck once tonight, so I'm hoping he's out

Engstrom bails from getting hit and loses the puck. Thankfully the Monsters got nothing from it.

Watching the Cleveland feed, PxP guy took time welcoming Rocket fans to the broadcast, adding that the Rocket no longer had broadcasters travelling with the team for away games. Gave Marcotte a shout-out. Classy move.

Dauphin!

Dauphin and Mesar did some nice forechecking and a little give and go, probably screened by his own teammate and that's how it beat Tarasov.

Finally noticed Beck and Roy as they did a similar nice play.

Hunt tried to line up Tuch and got wrecked.

Trey Fix-Wolansky was coming in with speed and Engstrom was flat-footed, but knocked it away. TFW lost his balance and fell into Primeau, Cleveland scored, but waived off. Incidental contact.

Davidson from Arseneau ! 2-0

The league may have caught up with Engstrom. It is encouraging that he still does not seem "out of place". Not an easy league for a rookie!
Laval may have Simoneau but Fix-Wolansky is a real battler and an easy player to root for, but not tonight!

Laval to the PP.
