Is that the Amerks playoffs I see crashing to the earth?

 

I have to think that JBOTS has that issue in the forefront of his mind -- he's said as much (that he wants Amerk success), hasn't he?

He hasn’t exactly done much to help lately. Amerks are now down Baptiste, Smith, Criscuolo, O’Regan and Griffith. 5 of their top 6 forwards and Botterill made no moves to help Rochester by the AHL’s trade deadline on Monday.

True, but:  Danforth and Muzita-Bagenda can play and contribute.  They already had too many d-men; and they have Stephens, Martin, & Florentino in Cinci.  Paetsch is back in the line-up and considered a very good AHL d-man.  I don't know status on CJ but I would expect him to return to the Amerks.  Justin Bailey, and even Nylander, are playing better.  I don't think that it's all doom and gloom.  But, yeah, it would be helpful, understatement, if Guhle, Nelson, Baptiste, O'Regan, Criscuolo, & Griffith returned.

The 3 ECHL defensemen you listed are all absolutely terrible. Not sure what they have to do with anything, they aren’t hurting on defense. They’re hurting at forward, where they maybe have 2 legitimate too 6 forwards. It’s pretty ugly. Edited by Amerks8796

In this situation I'm okay with it, as long as he either 1) is up for a short stint and returns to play with Rochester this weekend, or 2) demonstrates that he's more than ready for the NHL.  I would prefer option 1 if possible.

I mentioned the defense because Guhle and Nelson are in Buffalo.  They were getting big minutes and playing well in Rochester.  Some say that the Amerks tailspin began when Nelson got called up.

They have a ton of depth on defense, it’s not an issue. Guhle wasn’t even playing well when he was recalled. Forward is the issue.

Hopefully he gets a chance to play even if briefly.  He showed what he brings in Rochester.  They'll (Guhle, Baptiste, O'Regan) be sent down prior to the playoffs.

O'Regan not likely playing tonight.

Yep

 

Per Vogl

 

Danny O’Regan is still on the ice with defense scratches Josh Gorges and Justin Falk, so doesn’t look good for his Sabres debut tonight.

With all these forwards in Buffalo, it’s time for Fasching, Bailey and Nylander to step up and contribute.

Why call up a player at this point and not play him? We know what the regulars can (or really can’t) do. Why not play the kid and see what happens.

I'd like to see O'Regan paired with O'Reilly on St. Patricks Day vs CHI

 

:beer: 

 

I wonder if there has ever been an NHL line with three O's. O'Regan-O'Reilly-Okposo would be cool.

 

But keep ROR with Samson, please.
