The Cleveland Monsters fell to the Utica Comets, 6-2, this afternoon.
Due to Tyler Madden being in the gold medal game of the World Juniors Championship, Head Coach John Madden was on the scratch list for this afternoon’s game. Assistant Coach Steve McCarthy stepped in and took the reigns for the Monsters tilt against the Comets.
Sometimes having a different coach running the show for a bit breathes new life into a team. Unfortunately, this was not the case for the Monsters. By the time the second period ended, the game was basically over.
