According to the ECHL, DiDiomete was suspended and supposed to miss the game in Cincinnati on 1/21. So what happened before the game in Cincinnati on 1/21 that earned him another suspension and earned his team a fine? He should have been wearing a suit and tie and sitting with the scratches, right?
Chicago’s Devin DiDiomete has been suspended for one game and fined an undisclosed amount as a result of his actions in ECHL Game #374, Chicago at Cincinnati, on Jan. 20.
DiDiomete was assessed a major penalty and game misconduct for spearing under Rule #62.3 at 19:34 of the third period. He is fined and suspended under Rule #28 – Supplementary Discipline.
DiDiomete will miss Chicago’s game at Cincinnati tonight [1/21].
Chicago’s Devin DiDiomete has been suspended for three games and fined an undisclosed amount as a result of his actions prior to ECHL Game #384, Chicago at Cincinnati, on Jan. 21.
DiDiomete is fined and suspended under Rule #28 – Supplementary Discipline.
DiDiomete will miss Chicago’s games vs. Cincinnati (Jan. 25), at Toledo (Jan. 27) and vs. Cincinnati (Jan. 28).
Visiting Chicago this weekend and was thinking of making my first visit to Sears Centre---- is this a result of bad blood between the two teams since they play each other so much???? Afraid that if I go they will be on best behavior, but if I skip it will miss bench clearing brawl (s)!!!
Didiomete tripped Cyclones goalie Chet Pickard before the Friday game during warm ups. At the end of the game, the ever classy Didiomonte speared Cyclone Dan Eaves in the throat--underneath the cage he was wearing to protect a brutal cut.
The teams played back-to-back in Cincinnati and Didi wasn't in the line up on Saturday due to the suspension.
The game on Saturday was pretty mild.
The Cyclones have a tougher team than Chicago and Martinson and Company have a problem dealing with that....lol

If Chaz Johnson and Bobby Robbins are in the Chicago line up and Justin Vaive and Mike Liambas are in the Cincinnati line up, then you probably won't be disappointed. All four of them can fight and play chippy games. Didiomete's suspensions may end by the Sunday game and he's always good for some extra cirriculars.

Bobby Robins is on a PTO with Providence right now. And based on how he's playing, I think he's gonna be here awhile. He's become a big fan favorite already.

He tends to do that....
As for the topic at hand....I admit I thought when I read this originally that DiDomete somehow snuck on the ice to play Saturday night. Interesting how he got an extra 3 games without doing that....
Didiomete got the games for two incidents: the pre game and the spear. He's probably got a few other suspensions earlier, so that's why he got the 4 games probably.
The Cyclones Mike Liambas hits harder than any player whom I've ever seen play in the ECHL...and it's not even close. Justin Vaive is 6'5" and strong. When these two want to be tough, they put an edge to the Cyclones that most ECHL teams don't have anymore. They don't do it every game, but when they do, it's cool to watch. Teams get scared to go into the corners.
If we ever get a goalie, this team will do some damage. Probably the best offense in the conference....when everyone is in the line up they're almost as good as the 2007-08 team offensively. That team only lost 12 games.

That was because you had Daoust, Beauregard and Desharnais. The cyclones team I saw twice looked NOTHING like that team. Beauregard is a cancer, I hated him here. Interesting that he sat out the final couple games of the Finals. Faoust had been around awhile. Desharnais is great but unlike the other 2 he didn't need them to succeed. I don't see anyone on that team like either of those guys(especially Desharnais)
Desharnais was a once in a generation ECHLer. If it weren't for the fact that he's a midget, he never would have played a single ECHL game.
Daoust went on to the AHL and led his team in scoring once (Houston Aeros) and signed a two way NHL contract with Minnesota. He's now in Europe. He was a very good player all in his own right.
Beauregard is a strictly one-dimensional player. He's a goal scorer. I never heard of any locker room problem here, but who knows?
The Cyclones' forwards are mostly first year pros. Aubin has been around and he's a point per gamer. Luciani is awsome. He's out with an injury, but he's also a PPGer. Mike Pelech has been another PPGer since he came over from Toledo. Matt Sisca-who was just aquired from Bakersfield-will also be a PPGer
Chris Cahill, Rob Slaney, Daniel Koger and Jonathan Hazen are all very capable offensive players. By season's end, each could be a point per game type. Koger almost is already.
When this team gels-as it has for a few games here and there-they'll put up four goals + per game. If the goaltending can be fixed-it is this weekend with Brian Foster but he goes back to San Antonio after Sunday's game-then this team has a lot of potential as it could match the offensive power overall of the first Kelly Cup winner. Our current offense is much better than our second Cup winner.
And when are the flicking Jackals gonna lose a shoot out???It's ridiculous how they're winning every single close game

Daoust I recall played on the Danbury Trashmen. That team was LOADED. It had guys like Jeff Daw and David-Alexander Beauregard to name a few.
Wheeling fans said he was a cancer but when he was here he wasnt a team player and he only scored in blowout games.
No doubt was your first team better than your second. The second time through though the East was weak beyond belief. I mean LOL you played Reading ibn the Conference Finals and they barely qualified.
We did lose in Reading in OT 12 days ago. When we lose Stewart and Radja like now it's possible. Also Jack downing is up. That game never should have gotten to that point. Gotta thank Larocque scoring on his OWN GOAL on the powerplay, man he sucks.

Koger played last night as #34 for Milwaukee. He was okay on the 4th line as a winger. Cahill was sent down.
What is Chet doing?
Steve Martinson in his playing days. I saw this in person! People talked about it for years.
Koger really isn't a 4rth liner. He's got a fair amount of talent. Far more than Van Guilder. He's going to be a good one.
Chet had a very nice game last night in Chicago. He made one of those *did he really stop that?* saves-something which has been a rarity during his time in Cincy. His last two games have been creditable. Overall, his performance has been sub par. He lets in way too many softies and has an awful tendency to give up weak goals early in the game. It's too bad. I'm told he's a real nice kid and a great teammate. Hopefully his last two games are a sign of things to come and he gets his career back on track.
It's great to see Jeremy Smith doing as well as he is.
Martinson is a lunatic still He got tossed out of a game in Cincy last weekend. 6 AA Championships and never an invite to coach in the AHL. Something is up with him and it ain't good

Actually Marty says he isnt all that interested in the AHL. You cant make your own roster in that league
You really can't make your roster a lot of the time in the ECHL:
Affiliations, call ups of your good free agents, etc.
Me thinks Marty is just covering for the fact that he's never been offered a job in the AHL
Depends where you coach. He seems to have no trouble finding like 5 of his old suspects in a given season. He built the majority of our rosters while here.

I actually wanted to see Marty hired in Cincinnati after it became clear that Weber was going to the AHL after Kelly Cup II. I was alone in that desire among Cyclones fans
Martinson is an absolute hoot to watch on the bench and he fields teams which are offensively oriented and chippy. That's the type of team I like to watch.
I really do believe that certain personality traits of his have halted career advancement, but it is possible that he might not care about moving to higher leagues. If he's happy where he is, then that's all that matters.

True, his teams were fun to watch. I have yet to see another coach in this league try to play his way. Granted I think a lot of it has to do with the nonsense that is affiliated hockey. Pat Bingham's team plays similiar but not strong offense.
In comparison Malcolm Cameron plays the most boring hockey known to man. Funny to think when he got hired here he thought he would win the Cup due to all the AHL like talent we recieve and that it would make him a LOCK in the AHL. Funny, hes someones assistant for a Junior team out in the Western part of Canada.
How do you like Skalde? I thought it was a bold hire for a guy who didn't exactly do anything in the IHL2.0

Cameron's career really went south starting in Florida. When he was in Cincinnati (his first head coaching job), he came within a eyelash of getting to the finals. The Cyclones lost game 7 of the Conf. Finals to eventual KC Champion Atlantic City by one goal and someone hit the post with time running out in that game 7.
I am a big Skalde fan. He's similar in many ways to Martinson. He likes offensively-driven hockey and likes to have an element of toughness on his team. If we weren't saddled with Chet Pickard (1st round, 18th overall pick by Nashville in 2008) in goal, the Cyclones would be a top 3 team in the Conference, imo.
His first year in Cincy he was a late hire (almost August) and there were a lot of problems which I won't elaborate upon. In the IHL 2.0 the Prarie Thunder were broke and were basically fodder-along with Dayton and Flint- for Fort Wayne. It was a very difficult situation, so I wouldn't even factor that into any meaninglful evaluation of Skalde.
Well I went to game, and the closest thing I saw to a fight was one older guy really giving it another older guy (hey wait, I am an older guy!!) when he did not take his hat off during anthem- luckily no ushers had to be called, but then again there were no ushers to call anyway.
Nice facility, but major league prices on parking and beers-
Nice touch by Pickard to flip puck to Mannino as he was headed off the ice after Mannino had shut em out-
Meanwhile back home in Arizona it looks like I missed quite a few fights between the Komets and Sundogs-oh well, since I am an old guy I can at least say I predicted it!!!

What do you consider major league prices? Here in Elmira we pay $6.50 for a 24 oz beer. I find it to be a major ripoff.
Parking was $10 (with no way to park away from arena and walk to game) and beers were $7.50 (not including tip)-at least my kid got the free jersey- oh wait, I did not bring my kid, but good thing I didn't, as they did not have the kids jerseys like they promoted- instead gave out t-shirts and some type of rain check-no wonder they are last in attendance in the E-

Yeah.... the price of parking at the Express games has been my biggest criticism about the experience there, though I think in this circumstance it's just the village desperately trying to get the Sears Centre to pay for itself.
And they didn't have kid's jerseys at the special giveaway? Yikes....
