From the Department of Good Problems to Have: By the time the Lake Erie Monsters play their next game, they will have had to wait more than a week for the other playoff teams in the AHL to finish their respective series.
The reason, you may have heard, is because the Monsters tore through their first-round match-up with the Rockford IceHogs, sweeping three games in a series that took 75 hours of real time to complete and saw the Monsters outscore the Blackhawk-affiliated IceHogs, 15-6.
The red-hot Monsters move on to the division finals to face either the Grand Rapids Griffins or the Milwaukee Admirals.
