Lake Erie Monsters winning goal 2016 Calder Cup

Here is the winning goal with 1.9 sec left in OT.

[@BenKellar]

When he said Cleveland we are champions, I got chills down my spine.

[@brian99xt]

it was crazy! i watched it on tv the next day, but it couldn't compare with the loudness live!!

[@ungartothemax20166]

brian99xt I know it was amazing

[@AustinJensen21]

Technically this is the moment where the Cleveland title drought ended, not with the cavs

[@brian99xt]

Yes, but that's hard to debate. Cleve has had minor -league level wins since the 80s/90s. And i consider Stipe Miocic a Cleveland win, a month earlier. But if you go by strictly major sports teams, cavs won a week after this.

[@crovay]

@amcflfan45 There is another Cleveland team that won a league title between the 1964 Browns and the 2016 Monsters. The Crunch won 3 indoor soccer championships in the 1990's. So the drought only lasted 30 years (the first Crunch title was 1994).

[@pixelythegamer3260]

@@crovay nobody really cared for the crunch, we only care for the Big 4 sports leagues, that being the MLB,NHL,NFL, and the NBA

@@pixelythegamer3260 the monster matter to me dammit

[@mistertibbs1105]

Believe it or not! This team is the one who broke the curse. They started t all. And 20 years down the line.. People will talk about this team starting the run of championships.

[@westsideken]

I beg to differ. Stipe Miocic won the UFC heavyweight championship, starting a revitalization in the Cleveland Sports community. Then the Monsters win the Calder cup, Cavs win the NBA title, the Indians are on fire. Hopefully the Browns can at least go 9-7 and at least make the playoffs.

[@brian99xt]

+Kenneth Busler i agree.... the Stipe effect!!!

[@ungartothemax20166]

brian99xt and then Stipe successfully defended at 203 in Cleveland and the Indians are in the playoffs

[@brian99xt]

+Joshua Ungar yep i was at 203... loudest crowd ive ever heard.

[@ungartothemax20166]

brian99xt I was also at 203... and I agree loudest crowd I've ever heard

The greatest Ending of all time in AHL

[@Celluloidwatcher]

What a moment!!! Congratulations to the Monsters...This generation's version of the Cleveland Barons...Great memories!!!

[@brian99xt]

for me, the lumberjacks. what a tense OT, ended with a moment ill never forget!

[@glitch164]

What a freaking finish! I have never seen something like that in my life! Getting that goal was incredible but even more so when you sweep the great Hershey Bears!

[@garrettedwards3131]

Perhaps one of the greatest upsets in AHL history...No one expected that team to do what they did that year...they just gelled at just the right time

[@carlgorney9840]

That was one LONG goal horn blast(35 seconds on the initial burst)....and under the circumstances, completely understandable.

[@liam.colo03]

After years of heartbreak and a loss in the 2011 playoffs we finally have what we want. I was there with my dad and we were freaking out. My stepbrother was watching it on TV. Hopefully we can do it again here soon. GO MONSTERS

[@jasoncarroll3863]

Awesome video! We were there too. By the looks of it, we weren't too far from where you were sitting!

[@brian99xt]

We were in a lower level suite in the front row! Went to all the clinching games that series. So much fun

[@GRECKO4371]

I was up in the nose bleeds. That moment still gives me chills.

[@NightYoshi]

What an amazing moment. I only hope not only the Monsters get to do it again someday... but also would love to see the Blue Jackets get a similar moment with the Stanley Cup. Go Jackets and Go Monsters!

[@johnmiller4973]

Hard to believe it's been eight years since this moment

[@webby.209]

Proves that Cleveland deserves an NHL franchise

[@primerex04studios42]

They do, the blue jackets

[@fammithommproductions]

The Pittsburgh Penguins will not allow it

[@bethtorres5387]

What an awesome, awesome game! Thanks for the video!

[@brian99xt]

thanks for watching! a truly amazing sports moment in my life!

[@michaelwhitaker9719]

This is pretty cool.

[@benadam7753]

Very nice turn out! The Chicago Wolves used to draw crowds like that but since the resurgence of the Blackhawks, the attendance is getting smaller every year. Shame because the Wolves are still a great organization that provides affordable hockey.

[@NemechekFan87]

They still do, just look at hockeydb.com and the figures are still there.

[@FatAndPretty4Me]

we were there

[@KennyHavoc]

Great moment for us. Getting to watch this live was amazing then getting to see the Cavaliers take home the trophy not long after. If only the indians completed the trifecta

[@bobbobertson8791]

Honestly, having a full house of obviously devoted fans is very special, but the best part is these guys are a minor league team. Putting a NHL team in Cleveland would be interesting, rivals with Columbus, Pittsburgh and Detroit, you've got the arena and the fans, now just move Florida or Arizona!

[@mach6893]

I got a better idea. How about we award the 31st NHL franchise to Cleveland instead of Vegas? A hockey team in Vegas is a terrible fit. The NHL could also resurrect either the Quebec Nordiques or the Hartford Whalers for an even 32 teams. None of the scenarios will happen under Gary Bettman's watch though.

[@ungartothemax20166]

I think an NHL team in Cleveland would take fans away Columbus

[@hellstorm7154]

The Cleveland Monsters are the Columbus Blue Jackets AHL team and that is where the Columbus get their players from

[@ethanhatcher5533]

The Vegas comment aged wonderfully

[@lessonsincanadian8101]

Here's hoping that the Cavs learn a few lessons from the LEM!

[@allen5448]

Cavs?

[@mach6893]

Cleveland Cavaliers. Current NBA Champs. They took some lessons from the Lake Erie Monsters.

[@allen5448]

Mach68 Oh the Cavaliers. Yeah I watched the game the final score was 91-89 Against Curry's team, Don't remember the name doe.

[@mach6893]

93-89. The Cavaliers toppled the 73-9 Golden State Warriors. The Lake Erie Monsters gave the Cavaliers new life.

[@allen5448]

And no third cup for Cleveland since they lost the World SEries against the Cubs. Im actually Happy since im a cubs fan

[@derekpaulreed]

Then in the true spirit of one-upmanship the Pittsburgh Penguins won the Stanley Cup the very next night..

[@swegmoose]

Damn.... 2106?

oh damn i never even noticed that! i may have had a beer or 8 when posting this after the game...
