New guy/Monstrous lead: Friday notes

Chip Malafronte once said this was coming: Yale says the Sound Tigers have signed Ryan Obuchowski to an AHL contract.

In Hershey, the boys from Cleveland have swiped a 2-0 series lead on the road. Though the Bears made a run in the third period, Lake Erie took a 5-3 win in Game 2. Aaron Ness had three assists in defeat for the Bears. Game 3 is Monday in Cleveland, followed by the NBA-Finals break.

Elsewhere, crucial, brilliant, absolute truth: Canadians do not say “aboot.” (And I would unscientifically suggest that if you’re considering the stereotypical Canadian accent, it’s way more stereotypical in the west.)
