2-2 so far since the last big call-ups. The 2 games against Charlotte could have been wins or OT points had they just got a little more offence. They were in both games until midway through the 3rd in each game. VV has been real good the last 2. Good for him.

hopefully someone is back for next game so they don't need to sign another echl player

 

[Monstershockey]

Lumberjacks vs. Admirals tonght. I thought I read somewhere that Milwaukee is also wearing throwback jerseys from their IHL days. Can't seem to find any info on that. Lumberjacks are also going to sign Jock Callander to help with the injuries.

Scott is back but they released Shaw, is dalpe or thurkauf ready to play ?

 

[Monstershockey]

Not sure. They are skating at practice but haven't heard. I asked one of the medical guys why injuries are kept so secret. He told me he couldn't answer, it was above his pay grade. Saw Hannikiennen before the last home game. He was dressed like he was working out, but I don't think he is close. He didn't dress for the morning skate I went to last week.

 

[Monstershockey]

Game is on STO, so if you need to see the IHL, there it is.

I’ll be flipping between OSU-Wisconsin basketball and this.

 

[Monstershockey]

Nice Thurkauf is back. Sporting the full face mask. Love the throwvack element. The NHL 94 line up presentation was great.

Yup, but they are up 1-0 against a good team.

there are doing a little blue jackets there. they are actually outplaying them.

 

[Monstershockey]

Nice fight action there. Bittner got the worst of it. Gallant is probably gonna get someone. It feels like that kind of game.

 

[Monstershockey]

The chippinesss continues. Guess when they said throwback game they meant it.

 

[koteka]

Bittner deserves the next call up. Or Matteau. Let’s being up someone who will fight.

matteau isnt signed with the cbj.

Hey Monsters attendees. I’m in NH. Lived in Cleveland during the awesome Jacks days. I just saw the promotion. How does someone get their hands on some of that merch? Obviously no way I can get to a game.

 

[koteka]

3-2 win in overtime. Matteau from TFW.

 

[Monstershockey]

What a great game! Old time hockey, Eddie Shore.

 

[Doggy]

TFW with two . I like it.

Perhaps a silly question but where do the Monsters go to get players to fill in for all players being called up to the Jackets?

ECHL,

also ahl doesn't have a 23 man roster so they can actually carry 100 player. but really they usually send them down to an echl team so they can get play time.

Also the backup goalie is more of an assistant goalie coach

also they have few player signed directly with them like matteau or gallant that arent on nhl contract.

Pled pretty much nailed it. One other way, though it doesn't happen as much, is they will get guys on loan from other AHL teams. A few years back we had a defenseman that was on loan from San Jose, and last year, after Broadhurst was traded to Winnipeg, they just left him in Cleveland for the playoff push since Manitoba was out of it.
On a side note, Thiessen is probably getting the start today because the game is at 1pm. Veini has really played some good hockey so far.

 

[Monstershockey]

TFW with PPG. 1-1 2nd period.

 

[Monstershockey]

Barach on the backhand. 2-1.
