Cool article about Risto: http://www.democrata...lainen/3774205/

 

Rasmus Ristolainen could be in for quite the treat on Thursday:

 

He said he's spending Thanksgiving with Patrick Kaleta.

 

A native of Turku, Finland, and having lived in the United States for all of three or four months, this will be his first Thanksgiving.

 

"I'll maybe teach him some of the traditions; eat, watch a little football," Kaleta joked.

 

"He's a big boy," said center Kevin Porter. "He's young but he definitely throws his body around. You're going to feel it when he hits you."

 

Hamilton's Mike Blunden, a veteran winger checking in at 6-4, 214, clearly had seen and felt enough of the rookie's actions by the third period. He confronted Ristolainen by the benches around the 6-minute mark.

They pushed and shoved and yapped. Ristolainen never changed the way he played the rest of the game, either.

THREE-GOAL THIRD PERIOD SENDS AMERKS PAST MONSTERS

 

Phil Varone’s fifth goal of the season with 1:58 remaining in regulation broke a 3-3 tie as the Rochester Americans sunk the Lake Erie Monsters by a 5-3 score Friday night at The Blue Cross Arena. The win was Rochester's second straight and vaults the Amerks to second place in the North Division with a record of 9-7-2-2.

 

Johan Larsson notched a goal and an assist for the Amerks, while Joel Armia, Frederick Roy and Jamie Tardif also scored. Rasmus Ristolainen added two assists for his second straight two-point outing as Colton Gillies and Kevin Porter both finished with assists on the night. Nathan Lieuwen won his second consecutive game in net with 33 saves.

Risto got drive by punched by one of Lake Eries jerks after the empty net goal. Didn't look serious but the Amerks need more thugs to deter that stuff. Tarnasky and McCormick kept things safe for our boys last year

No suspension or anything, huh?

You gotta believe a suspension is coming... if not in the AHL I would expect retribution against this ##### ##### ###### ##### Goat #######
