  1. Levi didn't make a single big save. Very disappointing game from him.
  2. I'm sure some of it is due to different systems, but I like how Leone has them playing. The only issue is special teams, which have been abysmal. Mostly the power play.
  3. I have to say, I really like Leone so far. This is a very young team, with several call ups and injuries, and the Amerks play a better, more structured game than any Appert coached team ever played. They lead the league in shots per game, and give up the 3rd fewest. With Appert it was always the opposite, routinely giving up the most shots in the league. I also like his general attitude towards coaching. This isn't a practice team or a Sunday skate. Appert forced ice time to the prospects regardless, but Leone plays the guys who have earned it. As an example. Riley Fiddler Schultz was playing in OT, after he had payed a really solid game.
  4. Too young, too small. I'm all for prospects and skill, but I think they've gone too far. Dunne was a nice addition but they need another veteran. They lost Mersch, Weissbach, Biro, Richards and Dunne was the only experienced players brought in. And Sandstrom is obviously abysmal.
  5. You’re not understanding why people are saying a goalie with an .884 save percentage in the AHL and .823 in the NHL is bad? That would make goalies in the 80s blush. It’s beyond bad.
  6. I’m not sure what sucks about this. What did the Pegula’s do running the arena that was noteworthy at all? Good riddance. Has no impact on the Amerks. Hopefully whoever comes in does more.
  7. Both. Did nothing for his career. He went two months without a goal. Had he stayed and kept scoring, would he be closer to a call up? 100%. And as someone who listens to Apperts interviews, he’s made it very clear, without actually saying it, that he hated him going. It’s screwed up his year. And for what? He went to the WJC last year. How many second year pros go to the world juniors? It was a bad call.
  8. It’s adversely affecting his season. I don’t blame him at all for wanting to go. But Adams needed to be the adult in the room and explain that going to the WJC and then flying across the country for the all star game was a terrible idea.
  9. They blew it by allowing him to go to the world juniors. There was no reason for it at this point in his career, and now it’s causing issues with the Amerks, his game, his health, and his ability to earn a recall.
  10. It was pulled from the Kevin O article. Even so, everything else said is accurate. I don’t care about giving them the benefit of the doubt. No one would say anything similar if this were the Sabres and a similar situation.
  11. They have 5 regulation wins. 5! They haven’t won in regulation since November. They haven’t won a home game since November 18th. This team is miserably bad. Who cares if they hung with Hershey? Hershey did what great teams do on the road, they played a simple game and waited for the Amerks to make a mistake, which of course they did with 6 minutes to go, and took advantage.
  12. I am incensed at Appert for when he pulled the goalie. Absolutely ridiculous. The Amerks are just crossing the red line with 2 minutes to go and he’s waving frantically for Cooley to come to the bench. Meanwhile the Amerks turned the puck over at the blue line and that’s all she wrote. I hate this coach.
  13. 30th in the league in regulation wins 32nd in goals against per game 32nd in shots against per game 32nd penalty kill I don’t think it’s a stretch to say they’re currently one of the worst teams in the AHL.
  14. Their record is a complete fluke. Bad team bailed out by 3-4 exceptional offensive players.
  15. Zero excuse for literally being the worst defense in the league. They’re playing guys that should be excellent defensemen at this level. Clague, Prow, Stillman, Davies etc. They’ve all been healthy. It’s just a bad system and bad coaching. Not to mention, they’ve been bad defensively all year. When healthy, banged up. Doesn’t matter. Bad since opening game.
