2013-2014 Lake Erie Monsters/ Denver Cutthroats Thread

[henchman21]

Lake Erie just has issues in general. Sakic and Roy need to clean house down there (with the exception of Filiatrault), and let the organization and players down there start fresh. Like Sacco, Chynoweth has a big dog house and it doesn't take much for certain players to enter it. Right now there are a couple players that we all like/liked as prospects that are in that dog house.

Now that my travel season is over, I plan to go through some of my recordings of games. I am pretty excited to see how Elliott, Beaupre, Siemens, Agozzino, Sgarbossa, Schumacher, and Smith progressed and regressed this season. I am still a believer in Sgarbossa, but there is no doubting that he had a rough season this year. Luckily he has one more year on his contract to prove he is worthwhile.

On Pickard, I don't think he is long for the organization. Roy hinted that one of the goalie prospects is gone this summer to bring in an AHL vet, and I am 99% sure that Pickard is gone. Either in a package, or for a 4th/5th round pick.

Like Garrett Meurs, I was excited to see how he can do professionally with a successful OHL career. Seems he's been getting healthy scratched and being misused frequently. Hope he can thrive next year under a new coach

If there is a new head coach for next season...

 

[tigervixxxen]

Highlights from last night. Schumacher, Elliott and Clark scored. The first two have both scored in most of the recent games, at least 3 or 4 now.

 

[Foppa Frossa]

Seems like Elliott is improving quite a bit offensively this year. Is playing at a nearly .5 PPG this season.

 

[tigervixxxen]

He was pretty slow after he came back from injury a bit ago but the last few weeks Elliott has been on fire like he was early in the season. He's having a nice year. Very curious to see what he would look like with the Avs now.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

He looks a lot bigger than I remember him.

 

[JWK]

He looks a lot bigger than I remember him.

Size queen

 

[VikingAv]

He looks a lot bigger than I remember him.

Doesn't matter how big he is when he plays like a kitten on prozac....

 

[Tommy Shelby]

He looks a lot bigger than I remember him.

Elliott was never small, he was just soft as warm butter in the defensive zone.

Bourke playing tonight, got the first shot on goal. No Iafrate though. Sami in net.

Brett Hitman Hart night in Erie?

edit - Bourke just scored. Garbage goal.

 

[tigervixxxen]

Didn't take the kid long, awesome.

 

[Tommy Shelby]

Good thing 'ol Deany decided to actually dress him tonight eh

 

[S E P H]

#Bourke is Freed !!!!!

 

[bohlmeister]

Why are Elliott and Stollery on the PK and Siemens is not?

 

[AdamCalderHero]

Sweet finish by Schumacher! His size and skill really makes him interesting

 

[tigervixxxen]

Add an assist for Bourke now. Monsters up 3-0 and having a good game.

I think everyone PKs at some point because they do it so often.

 

[Tommy Shelby]

Why are Elliott and Stollery on the PK and Siemens is not?

Because Sacco's disciple.

 

[tigervixxxen]

Schumacher has really come on recently. Playing with Smith those two work really well together.

 

[PG Canuck]

Happy to see Bourke aka Cowboy Troy doing well in his first game.

 

[tigervixxxen]

Monsters had the best game they've played in a long time beating Rochester 5-0. I'm not sure exactly what it was but they played well the entire game controlling the puck. Aittokallio made his first start in a month after his freak head injury and got the 25 save shutout. Bourke played his first game for the Monsters and got a goal and two assists. Schumacher continued his hot scoring run, Wyman got two goals on the line with Bourke and Olver added one too. Injury list basically still the same, Hishon and now Beaupre.

Highlights



Bourke will be used to our clueless media, Cleveland media had to ask him what a ATO is.

 

[S E P H]

What a first goal by Bourke, complete dedication on wanting to score there.

If we thought the ROR question was stupid to Joe Sakic, that ATO question was just as Pejorative Slured.

 

[CB Joe]

Lake Erie with more of a net presence than the Avs.

 

[DanglesFromDuchene]

Absolutely brutal questions. How do these people keep their jobs?
