Add an assist to Jiricek's line. 6-0.

 

[stevo61]

every time I refresh the AHL page Cleveland scores

 

[Monstershockey]

Yeah very encouraging to see him go from 0 shots and just plain bad last night to multiple shots and goals today. Man I wish AHLtv wasnt so stupidly priced

He was pretty hard on himself last night. His game is much better today. He did turnover the puck trying to be a little too fancy that led to a chance just before his second goal. That was the only bad thing I've seen today. 7-0 now. Ex-Jacket Kieth Kinkaid having a day.

 

[Monstershockey]

Jiricek with the hat trick! Good for him.

9-0. The We Want 10 chants have started.

 

[Monstershockey]

Nice game after their worst of the season. Jiricek with the hatty, and Cajan with his first shutout. Way to bounce back.

Didn't see this posted yet found is fascinating and maybe the CBJ crew could take some hints

Cleveland Monsters have highest attendance average in AHL—for good reason

Going to a Cleveland Monsters game comes with the promise of fierce competition. Explosive offense, edge-of-your-seat defense and, of course, the thrill of a violent fight here and there.

It’s great reading about Cleveland’s strong support for the Monsters. Congratulations to the fans and the team!

Maybe they should be an NHL expansion team rather than Cincy Dan Gilbert is a HUGE hockey fan and believe he has always wanted to own one. We know there is a turn-key arena ready to go.

I mean, they almost averaged more than AZ in 21, and have been over doubling AZ attendance the last two seasons...( Yes I know they are in a college stadium)

Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse has a much better scoreboard than Nationwide as well too.

Well yeah. Its primary tenant is an actual first class organization who spares no expense in anything.

Related anecdote: Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse answered my email about ticketing. Nationwide/Jackets did not answer my email about bringing a pocket camera to the games.

I guess I'm starting to see what you folks mean.

Every time I go into RMFH for a Monsters game and see that video board I am blown away and realize how dated Nationwide's arena is. Was at MSG earlier this season and they have a video board that's similar to RMFH. I would not be surprised if more than half the league has that video board.

There is also the projections down on to the ice. We saw that when we went to Montreal. I have seen it on TV in Vegas and Seattle. That is freaking awesome as well.

I know Columbus is a smaller market but hey, at least we have pizza box and t-shirt tosses (eye roll).

Nationwide video boards are 25 x 16
Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse side video boards are 56.7 x 31.5 (end zone video boards are 33 x 30)

Even the smaller end zone video boards at Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse are substantially bigger than Nationwide's boards. And the RMFH video board is ten years old. It's kind of embarrassing.

Nationwide has got to be about the same age. I don't remember when they last replaced it. I think it was actually originally smaller to be honest.

 

[stevo61]

well that was a goofy goal but good play by TFW on the PP. PP earned by Jiriceks face and aggression

Nice rush by Knazko paired with some luck

This team can score in bunches

 

[stevo61]

Jiricek gets 2 minutes for being pushed onto Greaves by Sourdif, getting up and grabbing him and then getting punched a couple times as the linesman was in between them . Showed some emotion but clearly some game management going on, maybe piss him off a bit. Id like to see him actually pissed off.

We gotta teach him. If you're going to take a penalty, get your money's worth.

Probably didnt expect a penalty for his face being in the way. Now he knows

 

[Iron Balls McGinty]

Did the CBJ all get demoted to Cleveland to blow this 3 goal lead in the 3rd period?

 

[stevo61]

Cleveland with their best Columbus impression. Gave up a 3 goal lead in the 3rd

 

[stevo61]

Of course my stream quits in OT

Mine too. Probably for the best.

Be glad it did.

Apparently. Gaunce already had me upset on his horrible pass early in OT
