K-9

Can’t blame it all on Suban, but his technique leaves a lot to be desired, especially rebound control and moving laterally. A good goalie stops two of those three 3rd period goals.

Stick a fork in em.

Speculation in an internet forum? You don’t say.

Appert being told to insert a player shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone.

Malcom is always an adventure between the pipes. He’s just not very good.

Amerks getting royally screwed by the refs.

Amerks need more controlled zone exits and entries. Hershey always has three guys back because they got burned with speed in game one. Amerks need to stop forcing passes, dump it in, and use their speed for puck retrievals. Too many rushed and forced passes.

Meh. Was more excited about him when his season first ended. He pissed away a great opportunity by not signing sooner. I bet Metsa could explain that to him.

Perhaps his contentment is borne out of the fact that the loss was more due to the Amerks inability to execute more than anything Hershey did to shut them down. That and hot goaltending by the Bears’ netminder.

Too bad Levi won’t be facing Peterka.

That hurt.

yep

Whoever is deserving of wearing the C is entirely up to the players in the room. What anyone around here projects onto that process is meaningless.

He won’t be blocking Rousek, either.

They’ll have to catch him first.

And Johnson shrinks a little bit more.

Quinn. 1 zip Canada.

Sitting on the toilet? And dispensing wisdom Like Shoresy? I like it!

It was a tongue in cheek comment meant to emphasize the very point you’re making. Certain players have already punched their ticket no matter what. KO is one of them. I agree his time may be managed this year, but he’s solid contributor in so many ways. And for what it’s worth to those having a fit about him, he isn’t blocking the likes of Savoie or Kulich as they aren’t slotted for 4th line slots, anyway.

Yep. That leaves 22 other spots open for competition and may the best men win.

Reading a few posts, I get the impression some don’t know the difference between leadership and babysitting.

Thanks for taking a deeper dive into Z’s offensive numbers. I didn’t realize how UNterrible they truly are. Perhaps he should shoot more.😄 He has a drive that can’t be taught. We’ve mentioned numerous times here how, in a game his junior team in Latvia was losing by 11 goals in the third period of a game, he was still blocking shots, still trying to make a difference. I imagine that his coaches and teammates gotta love that kind of hockey character.

Who on the Amerks sits to make room for Savoie? In the midst of a seven game playoff game winning streak, it may not be an easy decision for Appert. Or is it?

I think Murray is destined to be a career AHLer because of that lack of speed. Is he gonna beat out an icing and feed the puck to a teammate for an easy empty netter like Girgs? Girgs may have no offensive finish in his game, but his speed and tenacity on the puck is valuable.
