Dominik Shine makes it 5-0 for the Grand Rapids Griffins 4:09 into the period.

Chad Hillebrand, Eduards Tralmaks, and Shine created a lil "v" shape once they exited the neutral zone which allowed for beautiful, smooth passing.

The Grand Rapids Griffins take the 4-0 lead over the Cleveland Monster 1:09 into the third period.

Eduards Tralmaks with an absolutely dreamy backhanded shot to make it happen.

During the first half of the second period, the fourth line of Nolan Moyle, Carson Bantle, and Chad Hillebrand laid bodies out left and right.

And, every time the Monsters attempted to get in the crease, Sheldon Dries was there to stopthem.

Oh my MBN!

Michael Brandsegg-Nygård squeaks the puck between Zach Sawchenko and the post to give the Grand Rapids Griffins the 3-0 lead.

At the end of March, I said goodbye to the Monsters . While I'm excited to see where the rest of the season and beyond takes me covering the Griffind , I'm going to miss the Monsters fans, staff, and players with all of my heart.

🫶🫶 forever grateful for this adventure.
