Cleveland Monsters Thread VII (All Affiliate talk here)

[onetimerguy]

Looks like Korostelev has been recalled from ECHL. Why not Fortier instead of DeSalvo?

 

[Jackets Woodchuck]

Fortier has always seemed like the last forward on the depth chart whenever he's been up here.

<==== Finally got an OT time and won it!

Goal #9. That shot needs a slow mo treatment.

 

[Jackets Woodchuck]

Both Blue Jacket-contracted goalies out (likely injured). Eric Levine (Fort Wayne) signed to PTO.

 

[Jackets Woodchuck]

I'll post lines and other info from both of this week's home games tonight or tomorrow.

 

[Theo Von]

michael prapavessis intrigues me as a prospect.
has a +5 rating in 8 games this year as a defenseman.

@Jackets Woodchuck, what are your thoughts on him and has future with the club?

he seem like he would be ready next year for a game or 2 in the nhl but he got injured and the coach never put him in since then so I don't know. how did he look in practice since he came back ?

he played yesterday.

he played yesterday.

I guess at my parents for the holidays so I'm not really following, how did he look?

 

[Jackets Woodchuck]

Prapavessis has been impressive when he has been on the ice, but injuries and Kukan's conditioning assignment have kept him out of games for a while. The astounding part about his meteoric offseason isn't that he got a two-way contract, it's how he didn't already have one somewhere in the NHL.

[Jackets Woodchuck]

No change in lines for tonight.

 

[Jackets Woodchuck]

Levine played most of this season for the Quad City Storm of the SPHL and had been brought in by the Komets (not sure if PTO or SPC) after they lost a Knights-contracted goalie to a call-up to the Chicago Wolves. He was the backup in Fort Wayne, but did not come into a game.

 

[Jackets Woodchuck]

Injured players per Tony Brown on pregame show:

Thurkauf
Berube
Bittner
MacInnis
Kivlenieks

Sounds like Siebenaler may be healthy and not playing (six games in a row).

I hope to be at practice Wednesday to clear up the injury situation.

 

[Jackets Woodchuck]

losing 1-0 - 9:46 -1

Terry (Camper/Hicketts)

Chris Terry's 21st (leads league)

Holmstrom (Terry/Elson) scores soon after - 2-0 Griffins

 

[Jackets Woodchuck]

Milano (Clendening/Letestu)

18:45 - 1

Sonny's 17th goal of the season.

2-1 Grand Rapids

 

[Jackets Woodchuck]

2-1, 1st intermission

 

[Jackets Woodchuck]

Siebenaler confirmed injured per Tony brown on game broadcast.

By the way, Bittner has a lower body injury.

 

[Jackets Woodchuck]

By the way, I'm pretty sure Collins is healthy and not playing due to the same lineup being kept due to last night's win.

 

[Jackets Woodchuck]

10:16 -1 - losing 2-1 at 2nd official timeout (what official?) of the second period

 

[Jackets Woodchuck]

By the way, this is probably the Monsters' last game without Dalpe as they don't play again until next Saturday afternoon (well after Spengler Cup is over).

 

[Jackets Woodchuck]

Clendening possibly tossed.

 

[Jackets Woodchuck]

5 min major for Clendening

opposing player not injured

also game misconduct for Clendening

Clendening hit an opposing player who had an open ice pass coming to him and McIlrath (who got to for roughing) retaliated

 

[Jackets Woodchuck]

Correction, 10 minute match penalty (which comes with five minute penalty) to Clendening for hit to the head (same thing that had Gallant suspended on Wednesday).
