What a mess the Amerks have right now.

 

Fienhage called up from the ECHL’s Gwinnett Gladiators. Riley Boychuk from ECHL also. Evan Rankin signed to PTO.

I read that Whitmore scored four goals, the first four-goal game by an Amerk since Jason Pominville scored five times against Cleveland on October 21, 2005.

 

Sa-weet.

The Amerks playing with 1/3 of an ECHL lineup. The kid stepped up and was getting major icetime due to the call ups. It's nice he's a local dude. Foligno was on a line with him and was also another beneficiary of the call ups. He seemed to take on Kassian's role and played it well. His skating is smooth for a big dude.

When is he going to get his shot? He deserves at least a one game shot, especially with everything that's going down right now. He has consistently produced for 3+ years now. Reward the kid and send a message to the entire system.

So...Brennan, Szczhura(?) and Tropp all sent back down today. Is it because some players are getting healthy, or is it because they have to play in Roch?

It looks like Stafford, Regehr and Kaleta are back in action.

They also sent Brennan back but kept McNabb? Me likey.

Especially interesting because it seems that both Weber and Myers will be out for an extended time. (So they definitely need one kid up from the Amerks.)

The Sabres injuries are really catching up with Rochester. Their D tonight is Morrisson, Biega, Crawford, Fienhage, MacKenzie and Shiestal. Yikes!

 

The forwards look like Tropp, Stuart, Rankin, whitmore, Varone, Parker , Voakes, Foligno, legault, Chewy, Boychuk and legace.

Where are Chris Taylor and Rory Fitzpatrick when you really need them? :D

I may have to take a drive over that way to catch a game. I almost would rather have the situation you guys in Rochester have - low-cost, accessible AHL games and Sabres games on the TV, with an annual trek out to see the big club.

Some how many of these guys will soon be Amerks?

Heh, yeah. Rankin has done well since coming on board from ECHL, 10 points in 11 games. Not sure if he can get a call-up contractually ("25 game pro try-out"). Whitmore and Boychuk are my guesses. Foligno maybe. Next home game is Wednesday, at least our blue line is reasonably intact. Like the Sabres, hard to win with that many guys out.

Yup. Looks like Whitmore and Foligno.

The good news is that Rochester has only one game this week and it is on Wednesday. If need be, Foligno and Whitmore could play with the Sabres on Tuesday, with the Amerks on Wednesday, and if still needed, drive to Toronto for the game on Thursday,

Guess who's going!! I hope they send em back but I'm not holding my breath.

Hopefully none. I'm crossing my fingers or holding out hope they find another guy like Rankin who just needs a home. The uber Amerks-centric are not going to like the depleted line up. I've already heard it on Amerks postgame shows and that was three injuries ago.
