Monsters use the same script to beat the Ontario Reign yet again, take 3-0 series lead
When these playoffs began, there was a certain sense among Lake Erie Monsters fans of just being happy to be there.
Not anymore.
Now, given what the Monsters have accomplished this postseason (and more importantly the way they've accomplished it), the fans, the coaching staff and certainly the players themselves want more.
Suddenly, talk of Cleveland's first AHL Calder Cup championship since 1964 is becoming real.
That dream took another step closer to reality Tuesday night, as the Monsters – for the third game in a row – scored early in spurts and held off the Ontario Reign, 4-0.
