Yes, both wins came against the worst team in the American Hockey League right now, but it turns out they count those as full victories in the standings, which is why the Lake Erie Monsters can take satisfaction in yet another week in which they claimed four points in three games.
After sleepwalking through a 6-3 Wednesday morning matinee loss to the Milwaukee Admirals, the Monsters returned home to post consecutive victories over the Grand Rapids Griffins: 3-2 via the shootout on Friday, and an old-fashioned 5-1 butt-whipping Saturday evening in front of 10,245 satisfied fans.
Remember last week how we whined about Lake Erie having a hard time scoring in even-strength situations?
