They really did & they're auctioning off the sweaters (Cleveland definitely is, expect the Amerks will as well) & IIHC they'll both wear similar sweaters in Ra-cha-cha later this season.  (Why only subject fans in Cleveland to the risk of becoming blinded while at a game when that risk can be spread to fans in other cities as well?)

Rochester should do something with Captain America Logo

Yeah. Tough to watch on the ice. Not enough contrast and they both look like they're wearing their darks.

Instead of a blocker, the goalie plays with a shield.

He earned it last season before he went out with a high ankle sprain. With Zemgus out week to week, he should already be up here.

Yeah I really don't get what they are waiting for , I'm done with Elie pretty much.

Nylander was the last man off the ice from warmups. Taking little shots up close to the net, looking over his shoulder every few minutes to see if the last two Tigers had left the ice yet. I approve.

Awesome.  I just found the AHLTV app on my Roku.  Gonna drop $7 dolla to make me holla.

Crisco and Nylander look good together.

[Ogre]

Guhle the turnover machine.

[Ogre]

Hells yeah!

Huge goal from Asplund to tie it up with 11 sec left.

The goal to tie it late was a thing of beauty.  Asplund was perched just to the side of the net and received a perfect pass from Nylander at the point to put it home.  Outstanding play by our AHL Swedes. :)

I thought it was Nylander's best game that I've watched. He really controlled play and was dominant on the puck. My hope for him is partially restored.

He didn’t get an assist on Crisco’s goal but he kept that play alive single handed by controlling the puck. I remember thinking “which Nylander am I watching?”

Very tough on the boards, often outworking 2 Tigers to move/keep the puck deep. 

Maybe someone whispered in his ear?

Its the worst kept secret around that the Sabres could use some secondary scoring. The top AHL guys have to know that they can play their way into an NHL role if they can demonstrate some strong AHL play.

If Im Chris Taylor, Ive definitely told Nylander there is opportunity brewing in Buffalo.

I figured he’d emerge as a legitimate AHL player in the first half, come up after Christmas, and hopefully show enough to make it permanent.

Not exactly unusual for a 20-year-old first-round winger.

Pilut and Redmond are both AHL all stars....https://buffalonews.com/2019/01/03/rochester-americans-buffalo-sabres-lawrence-pilut-zach-redmond-nhl-ahl-news/
