Monsters' quick-strike attack seals another win in California against defending AHL champs
I will readily admit that, had you offered me a $100 bet a few days ago that the Lake Erie Monsters would be coming home with a 2-0 AHL Western Conference finals series lead over the Ontario Reign, I would have taken it in a heartbeat.
I figured the Monsters would be hard pressed to win even one game in California against the Pacific Division powerhouse Reign.
But in the space of just over 24 hours, Lake Erie took care of business twice, scoring in spurts and holding on at the end of both games to put themselves in the most enviable of positions heading into Game 3 Tuesday night at Cleveland's Quicken Loans Arena.
