Ogre

(Big dumb Ogres like kitties)

I haven’t played volleyball in long time. I’m willing to bet I’m still good at it.?

If he keeps having 35 saves a night like he did last night then how could you not pencil him in for next year?

They are crushing the division and smoking the majority of the league in GA. 60 ga in 25 gp! That’s nuts! Next best in the division is Toronto with 70 ga in 25gp. The Roadrunners are next best in the League with 62 ga in 24 gp out in that crappy Pacific division. I was dead wrong in my expectations for goaltending this season. btw... back to leading the division.

I found this story when I was looking for ECHL salaries. It’s from 2007 but it illustrates the point that you’re making. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.recordnet.com/article/20071007/a_sports04/710070330%3ftemplate=ampart “Brad Farynuk could be making a comfortable living with his degrees in mechanics and aerospace engineering. But he's chosen to earn $525 a week, with room and board, for a chance to play in the NHL.“

He fought last night and he didn’t get his ass kicked. Almost got whooped but he got back up and kept trying. I think these guys try a little harder in the A because the drop to the next level really sucks. I was looking for curiosity‘s sake at the average ECHL salary last night. This is the newest info I could find. https://work.chron.com/pro-hockey-salaries-1275.html “As of publication, the ECHL has a $13,260 weekly salary cap for 20 players and minimum player salary of $500 per week.”

Pens tried. We win. 4-2.

CJ with an empty netter with over 5 minutes left? Wtf?

Oglevie deflects Nelson’s wrister from the blue line. 3-0.

Dea-lightful move. Backhand to the five hole(giggidy). 2-0 Amerks.

Lazar scores to put the Amerks up 1-0 end of 1. A few minutes before the period ended the puck deflected off the Pens stick and hit the ref right in the nuts. I did laugh. I’m sorry.

Hockey night in Rochester. Penguins in town for the only time this year. The vender that does garbage plate does a mini version with a beer for $5.85 on Wednesday nights. They use waffle fries which is genius IMO. I have to go all the way around to the other side for Genny products on Wednesday too. That’s almost unacceptable.? Go Amerks!

Especially with this one. Remember his stint her a few years ago? He was something like a -16 in 13 gp. He skates like a dump truck. He always has a random strap hanging out of his sweater or pants. He looks like he crawled out of a dumpster. I am grateful he scored tonight but I’ll be even more grateful when he’s back in the bus to Cincinnati.

We play the Checkers again tomorrow at home. I expect mayhem.

We were being outshot 19-8 at one point in the 2nd. Halfway through the 3rd we’re outshooting them 28-20. That’s nuts.

It is done.The portal is open...

I never believed any of these rumors, then I zoomed in on the reflection in Kim’s glasses and, uh guys, there’s no photographers!

From tonight’s game notes...Encouraging signs from some rookies.

The dozens of us in attendance enjoyed it immensely. Dea was sharp. Hammond could have stopped an RTS bus tonight. Fitz was the dman forward. Best overheard fan comment of the night.... The Jumbotron shows an older white hair couple with Santa tees on. Someone behind me SCREAMS “Santa! I know him!” Thank you, kind sir. That was dope.

“Looks like a bulldog eating his lunch out of a thistle...”

Now I know why he has that look on his face.

Well they still have the career AHLer Matt Tennyson in the line up.

Geez! I should watch more. Maybe I’ll start recording the games on Amerks nights.
