I think its more likely that we use Kivlenieks as the backup than signing a veteran.

Ugh. I like Kiv and I think he’s ended up being better than I expected. But depth goaltending is abundant.

Can you give me a scouting report on Angle? How does he look in Cleveland?

Its tough to really watch these guys on AHLtv because they really don't give you any replays, and frankly, the Monsters highlight videos aren't very good, so not going to the games I can't really focus on guys and watch what they do off the puck. With what I have seen so far, he looks good offensively. He gets himself into position to score as there have been a few times he had chances and just misfires. His passing game seems fine also, he has set up guys well, one play sticks out a game or two ago, where he set up Foudy nicely on a 2 on 1 and Foudy couldn't finish.
Defense wise, nothing has stood out to me that he can't hold his own. I haven't noticed him making any major mistakes.
Since he signed his new deal, there hasn't been any drop in his play. He had a goal and assist today. He mostly plays with Foudy, and they play real well together. I like him so far, but it is real early to tell how good he will be. Plus, the fact they play the same teams over and over kind of hampers what he really is. Is he really this good, or is he this good because he sees the same teams and it is just a product of being familiar with these teams. Of his 11 games, he has played Rochester 4 times, Texas 3 times, Grand Rapids and Chicago twice each. So he has only faced 4 different teams. If next season is more to the norm, we can probably get a better handle on him and how he adjusts to seeing different teams more often.

Thoughts on Foudy and his ability to transfer his offensive game from AHL to NHL? @Monstershockey

Monsers win 6-3. Angle a goal and assist, Foudy with 2 assists. He had a shorthanded breakaway he couldn't finish on. Kivleniks had 28 saves on 31 shots. Gave up a goal on the first shot he faced, but played real well after and made some nice saves. Monsters have won 6 in a row. Too bad this season has no playoffs, this team has looked pretty good since they got off to a shaky start.

Carson Meyer with his 6th goal. He has a 9 game point streak. The goal was a PP goal. 1-0 Monsters. Tarasov in net.

Tarasov seems to have an issue giving up goals in the first 5 shots on goal. He's given up 2 on the first 5 this game. One on a rebound he gave up, the other off a deflection on the next shot. 2-1 Griffins.

Foudy finishes on a shorthanded breakaway. Monsters have 6 shorties this year. Monsters have 2 goals on 3 shots. Making the most of their chances.

Dillon Simpson wit a PPG, Tyler Angle with the first assist. Monsters up 3-2. 2 for 3 on the PP.

Tarasov having an off night. Giving up 4 goals on 22 shots. Down 4-3 with about 8 and a half to go.

Foudy has 3 goals 11 points in his 7 games since return from injury.
Tarasov is enough unstable. One game he can play like, FIGURATIVELY speaking,Vasilevsky in the best condition, in the other like, FIGURATIVELY speaking again,the worst goalie ECHL.

I think all goalies are capable of that. It just depends on how well the goalie can limit their off nights. I haven't really seen much of him, so the sample size for me is very small. I am of the thought that this is not the norm for him, and that he will be fine. I am just glad he is over here playing so that he is closer in case the call comes to Columbus, which I think will be more into next year than now. He looked good last night, just a couple mistakes, and Grand Rapids made some nice plays. It happens.
Kiclenkins? Oh god that's hilarious.
Are you Latvian?
I hope you all have a good sense of humor about misspelled names.

I had no idea that the Jackets 5th rounder from last year is already in the AHL. To be 18 and get legit pro ice time is a great sign.

neither did I.
On the blueline, no less. 11 games. OHL season never started, right? So had to play somewhere. But I don’t think he’s on an ELC.

Ole seems to be holding his own. He has 4 points and is even in +/-. He hasn't done anything to stand out that's bad. That's about all you can ask. He looks like he belongs, not overmatched.

Like spin said above, for this to be the report on an 18-year-old 5th round defenseman is really encouraging.

First Norwegian drafted out of the OHL since...wait for it...1978!

On a lighter note, his Monsters profile picture reminds me of Herbie the Elf who wants to be a dentist.
