Reign give up three goals in 2:36 + behold the Monsters' beautiful breakouts + Kempe and Amadio impress
After two rounds of familiar opponents, the Ontario Reign and the Lake Erie Monsters, like strangers in the night, got down and dirty at Citizens Business Bank Arena. Or as America's favorite karaoke band once sang:
Strangers! Waiting...for the Conference Finals! Game One, they're wonderin', "Was the tape right??"
From the drop of the puck, Ontario had a step on Lake Erie, as Michael Mersch outfought Jaime Sifers to tip a Derek Forbort point shot, then linemate Nic Dowd nearly converted from the slot.
