The Cleveland Monsters came into tonight’s game against the Charlotte Checkers knowing it would not be an easy one. The Checkers are the number one team in the league for a reason. They play for keeps.
The first period was one wild ride for both teams.
Two minutes and 32 seconds into the game, Dennis Robertson aggressively threw Kole Sherwood into the glass and then onto the ground. The Refs collared Robertson for roughing and off to the box he went for the next two minutes.
The first power play unit had a few missteps.
