The Union Leader said today he would probably play in his first pro game Friday at CT. But they are ofter wrong!!

[TwoForRoughing]

Andreoff is in the lineup tonight; Weal isn't.

[Ziggy Stardust]

Andreoff was on the ice for a goal against, playing with Robbie Czarnik and Brian O'Neill.

Vey has scored, assisted by Kozun and Deslauriers. Lines appear as follows:

Kozun-Loktionov-Vey
Andreoff-Czarnik-O'Neill
Hunter-Azevedo-Legein
Kaunisto-Clune-Meckler

Hickey-Mullen
Campbell-Muzzin
Deslauriers-Kolomatis

Jones is in net, Zatkoff backing up.

Scratches are Weal, Johnson, Hill. Not sure why Cliche isn't dressed but he certainly isn't a healthy scratch.

According to the AHL's stat page, the Monarchs currently have 76 shots on goal in the third...

ahh, they fixed it

[Frolov 6'3]

Azevedo is scoring like crazy lately and than he has to play with Hunter & Legein ?

Hunter is a big bodied forward that drives is good at driving the net, Legein is a solid guy with a good hard accurate shot. The two are pretty much tailor made to play with a small playmaking forward in Azevedo. Plus Azevedo has had sucess in the past with guys like King who is pretty much a younger Trent Hunter.

[Capn Brown]

Am I correct in assuming the Monarchs are chasing the 8th playoff spot in their conference? Should they miss out, could Lok or whoever be recalled to the Kings?

[cnshockey]

So has anyone watched Manchester a lot and has deets on how O'Neill has been? Does he have any actual NHL potential?

That's one reason he has been scoring!

Out week to week with an undisclosed injury!

[Ziggy Stardust]

Monarchs won 5-1 against the Hershey Bears and hold the 8th spot as of now with 4 games remaining on the schedule. They play the St. John's Ice Caps on Sunday.

Cliche also returned to the lineup. Lines appeared to be:

Kaunisto-Vey-Kozun
Legein-Azevedo-Hunter
Clune-Cliche-Meckler
Andreoff-Czarnik-O'Neill

Campbell-Muzzin
Hickey-Mullen
Deslauriers-Kolomatis

Zatkoff-Jones

Tonight is the last game of the season. Win and they are in. Lose and they need help.

I'm hoping they can get the 7th spot otherwise in the 8th they'll have to face the Norfolk Admirals who currently on a incredible! 27 game winning streak! That's just unreal.

[TwoForRoughing]

Monarchs up 3-0 early. If they win, they're in.

However, it would be ideal for the Monarchs to get 7th, as some others have said, they would have to play the Norfolk Admirals (who have won 27 games in a row) if they got eighth. Hopefully Syracuse can lose today.

[TwoForRoughing]

And it's over. The Monarchs defeat the Ice Caps 4-1 and are advancing to the playoffs.

If Syracuse wins, Monarchs play the Norfolk Admirals. If they lose, Monarchs play Ice Caps.

[Capn Brown]

So they've got a 76-game regular season? Interesting.....

[Sydor25]

Impressed with how the monarchs finished the season to make the playoffs with most of their offense in LA and Europe.

Congrats Manchester.

It was impressive indeed. The Monarchs basically had to win all three games this weekend and they did just that. Morris has done a phenomenal job.

edit: Syracuse wins; Monarchs play the Norfolk Admirals in Round One.

I think the first round this year is best of 5 (another change along with the shortened 76 game schedule) so 4 games may even be pushing it...

[ZJames]

Can you smell an upset? Narchs in 5!

[CTKingsFan]

The AHL is the weirdest league EVER!

Some how despite being the 8th seed the Monarchs get 3 potential home games in a 5 game series In fact everyone has a different schedule

That's gotta be a typo, yeah? No other high seeds miss out on home ice.

No it's legit. Tickets are being sold and everything. If you look at the other teams schedule their all different. In the western conference the 8th seed only has 2 games, but they have the first 2 games.


I don't think the AHL teams have a lot of money at all. I think it's all based on travel.

Scheduling conflict, something already booked at the Scope apparently.
