Rochester Americans 2017/2018

[darksabre]

I love Glotov and I hope he makes it. The kid has the right attitude and he loves Buffalo and the Sabres. He could be a great cheerleader for Buffalo. We need guys like him.

[GASabresIUFAN]

Amerks 3-0-1 in last 4. Playing well for the stretch drive.

[inkman]

Amerks up 3-2, Colin Blackwell who I love, has 2 goals.

 

Upon hearing Nylander was called up, after Blackwell has been spoon feeding points the last dozen games.

 

[Ogre]

I like Blackwell too. I really think he’s one of those guys who will only get better. He had 11 pts/-7 in 57 games for San Jose last year and is at 40 pts/+15 in 56 games in his second pro year. I hope he is back next year.

[Randall Flagg]

The Amerks have tied an AHL record, playing in 29 OT games so far this season.

[pi2000]

8 players sent down..

 

Nelson

Guhle

Ullmark

Nylander

Wilcox

Tennyson

Baptiste

Porter

 

Rodrigues would need to clear waivers I think, and Mittlestadt is banned from the league for being too good.

So we made the playoffs? When does it start?

So we made the playoffs? When does it start?

Regular season ends next weekend. So either mid-week or the weekend following that. They'll play either Syracuse or the Marlies.

 

If the goal is winning the Calder, better to play TO 1st round rather than 2nd. Utica isn't beating them & they'll likely have reinforcements by the 2nd round.

 

If the goal is just win 1 round, stay ahead of Utica.

 

F' the Marlies. Take 'em out round 1. :beer:

Schedule is released Monday.

Excuse me. They go on sale Monday.

They played a good game vs Marlies last with their seconds on ice. Marlies like always get away with multiple counts of interference and Amerks still outshoot and eventually topple them in OT.

I’d feel good about facing either team in round one.

Reinforcements? Are you sure the 2nd round begins after the cup parade?

[WildCard]

Thanks for the answers guys. Gonna try and get tickets then

[Taro T]

That hurts, Randy, that really hurts.

 

Fortunately, it has very little to do w/ reality. ;) (Me hopes. And expects, too.)

:lol:

 

You're right. There are probably 2 teams in the league that can survive Tampa-Boston right in a row, and I don't think Toronto is one of them.

[Brawndo]

Based on Colin Blackwells Production has he earned a two way contract for next year?

I would absolutely do a two way deal. You’ve seen the stats.

I’d like to see how many of these guys get invited to camp.

Last home game of year, the kids came to play. Bailey with 2 goals and O'Regan with 1 G 2 A in a 6-4 win. Amerks were down 3-0 after half a period. They outscored the Sens 6-1, the rest of the way.

 

Criscuolu and Baptiste were sitting for health reasons.

 

This line up is stacked for the playoffs. Good players will be in suits for this team.

If only that will happen in Buffalo.

How's Borgen looking?

[inkman]

How's Borgen looking?

I was only listening. They talked about him post game. Metioning his desire to play physical and hes learning how to against men. Sorry I can't offer more than that.

[Brawndo]

From Let’s Go Amerks

 

Is there anything to dislike about the way Will Borgen plays? I can't think of anything.

[GASabresIUFAN]

What will the roster look like for the playoffs?

 

Centers: Porter, O’Regan, Blackwell, Malone

 

Wings: Smith, Griffith, Bailey, Nylander, Baptiste, Fasching, Cornel, Criscuolo

 

Defense: Guhle, Nelson, Redmond, Tennyson, Percy, Fedun & Borgen

 

Goal: Ullmark, Wilcox

[dudacek]

Tennyson and Redmond sat tonight for Borgen and Nate Paestch. McWilliam is also there too.

Incredibly deep AHL blueline.

 

Have trouble shutting teams down but have at times been able to score their way out of trouble.

Going to need Ullmark to step up and Syracuse and Toronto won’t be easy.

 

But Botterill has assembled pieces that could do what he intended down there.

[inkman]

Last game of the season tonight. Did any of you yahoos want to meet up for the playoffs? Game 3 and 4 are slated for 7pm start up on the 25th and 27th.

25th works.

 

Out if it's the 27th.

Absolutely. A playoff game might be the only way to top last years Rochester meet up. I would prefer the 25th, but either night works for me.
