The NHL rule of not blowing the whistle when a player is injured until their team has control needs changed. Dumbest rule in the league. If the player is in need of medical attention, seconds count. Let the trainers and medical staff do their job.
What is normally a sportsmanlike affair with the post-series handshake line turned heated with Toronto's Kyle Clifford doubling back to try and fight Boko Imama.
I've never seen anything like this.

OMG OMG OMG!!!!!!! My oncologist just called! The cancer is gone!!!!! There was minimal spread into the uterine muscle but that was all removed. I’m cancer free!!!!!!!!!!! All that’s left to do is heal from surgery. I can’t believe this! I’m beyond happy!
I couldn’t resist,
@Steve_Dangle
. Had the chance to get a John Tavares autograph and couldn’t imagine him signing anything else. And yes, my husband told him all about LFR! Hope that was ok!
Take some time to appreciate this whole sequence, as called by
@TonyBrownPxP
and Jock Callendar.
From the "I didn't hear no bell" prior to the puck drop to "The Monsters can't be k!lled," this is the vocal embodiment of the fight and perseverance of this Monsters squad.
Everyone, remember- Nick’s daughter’s heart surgeon is in Boston. Signing with the Bruins gets his family closer to her doctors. Plus, it honestly gives him a strong shot at the cup. His dedication to the game and Columbus is reason enough to let him have this shot.
Jake Christiansen, in his first game in the postseason, scores and forces a game seven.
No surprise, the "fourth line" of Pearson, Dunne, and Whelan were on the ice.
What a HUGE performance by the Monsters!

I got my MRI results. While there are a couple growths on my liver, it’s not cancer. What is there is totally manageable and shouldn’t have any impacts on the quality or quantity of my life. Needless to say, I’m overjoyed!
After the winning goal, a fight breaks out between the Toronto Marlies and Belleville Senators.
There is currently a call to possibly suspend the handshake line...

What a goal for a player that's been grinding along all night.

prospect Kent Johnson reflects on his experience in the loan to the AHL and the camaraderie between him and the other players.
@boltsraysbuccs
@BlueJacketsNHL
Big difference between being swept as the number one team in the league and a team that was projected to be in the basement actually making it to the playoffs... but go off, I guess.
Kevin Cheveldayoff knew what happened and did nothing to bring justice to Kyle Beach.
Kevin Cheveldayoff tried to silence Akim Aliu and tried to bury him in the minor leagues.
Where is the justice for these players?
It’s 2020. Women are not distractions or disruptions. We deserve to work and spectate sports just as much as any man. If anything, women have a harder time securing work covering professional sports because of outdated sexist views. It’s time those voices aren’t given a platform.
I will not apologize for trying to help a community. I will not apologize for trying to keep someone with repeated problematic behavior away. I do apologize, again, for anyone that I may have exposed to that person before we found the truth or anyone that was victimized.
For someone who claims that’s he is going to just live his life and that he’s changed, Ryan wasted no time in showing his true colors. Attacking people’s looks and resorting to “oh look, you hardly have any followers.” Same childish and gross tactics he used at Hockey Hound.
@SaraCivian
@MikeTodd614
As a woman in the infancy of her hockey journalism career, thank you. While covering an AHL team, I was never treated as less than equal or like I was a distraction. I hope that the large broadcasters see the positive changes and remove voices that encourage negativity!
A night to remember for Trey Fix-Wolansky. A two goal night including his 68th career goal to get him the
@monstershockey
record for goals, the tying point for most in team history, and the OT game winner.
But you have to check out the save and feed from Jet Greaves too!

This whole thing just has me sick. I’m just proud that the CBJ Twitter group largely supports and protects each other. Just please be careful. Obviously, it’s hard to always know you are talking to online. Trust your gut and speak up if you need anything!
This week has been full of tears of pain and loss. Now, I’m sure there are some happy tears across

Congratulations,

"Pressure can burst a pipe. Pressure can make diamonds."
Incredible response by Cleveland Monsters Goaltender Jet Greaves when I asked about handling the pressure of facing elimination games in the playoffs.
This Cleveland Monsters squad is so special. All season long, Brendan Gaunce has been Captain Clutch. When his team needed him most, he was there.
With 50 seconds remaining, he steps up along with Dunne (who is now credited with the goal) and Svozil to tie it up!
The hardest part of cancer and my recovery during a global pandemic? The absolute isolation and lack of human contact. I miss my friends. I miss being out in the world. I miss, well, everything. My heart goes out to everyone stuck in a similar situation. ❤️
Trey Fix-Wolansky goes 4 for 6 in Accuracy Shooting. He's a late addition as multiple All-Stars did not make it to San Jose in time for tonight's events.

I’ve always said that

is one of the kindest teams in hockey.
I received a message from an
@AHLNewsNow
photographer who is working the game in Charlotte.
Her spot is right next to the away backup goalie.
Pavel Cajan and a CLE staffer brought her snacks. 🥹
My grandmother passed around 4 pm surrounded by family and her favorite pastor. Marian was a joy and full of love and pride for her large family of children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren. She joins her loving husband, siblings, & parents in the kingdom of heaven.
Love seeing this out of the new GM for
#CBJ
. This organization has a special group of young players and coaches in Cleveland.
I'm happy that Don Waddell seems to understand the importance of a strong AHL team for the organization.
Don speaks again highly of the AHL, and he highlights the importance of having a successful team there and playoff games are highly valuable for development.
#CBJ
AHL News Now is even closer to being a reality. Fresh branding (thanks to all who steered me in the right direction), a 🔥logo, and the framework of the site were all handled this weekend.
Scary but beyond exciting. Sometimes you just have to do it your own way.
I wouldn’t trade this past week for nothing. I received a great welcome from the Red Wings and some of the Detroit media. Definitely looking forward to where this little journalism career takes me. Thank you, Traverse City. ❤️
Around 810 miles driven. 12 hr 18 minutes in the car from Friday morning until now.
100% worth it to get some amazing content for

Many thanks to

TW for sexual content.
THIS is the video people are defending? For real? Yes, this 100% deserves to be publicly called out. The fact the Wennbergs tolerated this behavior as long as they did is mind blowing.
Be better, Kierra. Acknowledge your errors & quit attacking Felicia.
With Brendan Gaunce, Carson Meyer, Josh Dunne, & Billy Sweezey becoming UFAs at 12, that guts the leadership and vet core with the Cleveland Monsters.
I'd love to see the
#CBJ
organization bring Gaunce and Dunne back. Dunne came into his own in the playoffs & his size is needed.
For the victims and survivors of assault and harassment, especially here on hockey Twitter, my heart is with you right now.
This is hard to process and deal with and it’s ok to feel whatever you are feeling right now.
If you need to talk to someone who’s been there, I’m here.
We are proud to welcome
@monstershockey
forward Trey Fix-Wolansky on to the Calder's Calling podcast this week.
Why did he bring up this jersey? Who is his dream linemate? And is he brave enough to conquer the ropes course? Learn this and more in Wednesday's episode!
I get to go home tonight! ❤️🤩 Everything is going well and my body seems to be tolerating everything. No idea on time, but I’m so excited! The staff here at Riverside have been top notch. Hope everything else goes this smoothly. 🥰 Thank you all for the well wishes and prayers!
After 10 amazing years with him by our sides, Gary & I unexpectedly had to say goodbye to Matthew earlier today.
He was my heart dog & I was in love from the moment I saw his picture on a rescue’s page.
He passed naturally with a back rub and words of love. I’ll miss him forever.

Good news! We caught the issue early so things are looking good. My dr is confident this issue with my liver can be fully treated and, in time, reversed. Thank you all for the well wishes and prayers last night.
He’s no longer in pain and is now chasing all sorts of tennis balls, pain free, across the Rainbow Bridge. Thank you for everything, my sweet Biddle Butt. You were the best dog and my best friend since we met in August 2012. Until we can snuggle again… ❤️
The Josh Dunne to Buffalo signing is confirmed.
Honestly, I'm happy for him to get into an organization that will hopefully use him as a true depth option.
Though, this is a huge loss for the youth movement happening with the

For the first time since the 2018-19 season and the second since winning the Calder Cup Championship in 2016, the Cleveland Monsters are headed back to the AHL Calder Cup Playoffs!
Made a couple big career moves today! Can’t wait to announce them when the time is right. Thank you to everyone for supporting me, sending me leads, and just being awesome!
I quit my affiliation there when I had several women reach out to me with screenshots of conversations he had on that HH account that made them very uncomfortable. There were also troubling tweets that were sent. When I quit, he said “I won’t be around much longer.”
I took this account private again. Since my hockey journalism career is starting getting more traction and attention, I want to keep certain things private. It’s so exciting but I still have lots of work to do. So, hello if you are reading this!
AHL News Now is growing again! Keep an eye out in the coming days/weeks for some 🔥 additions!
I’m just so humbled that people are believing in this outlet and want to be part of it.
