The dozens of us in attendance enjoyed it immensely. Dea was sharp. Hammond could have stopped an RTS bus tonight. Fitz was the dman forward. Best overheard fan comment of the night.... The Jumbotron shows an older white hair couple with Santa tees on. Someone behind me SCREAMS “Santa! I know him!” Thank you, kind sir. That was dope. 2
Ogre Posted December 6, 2019 Report Posted December 6, 2019 From tonight’s game notes...Encouraging signs from some rookies.
inkman Posted December 7, 2019 Report Posted December 7, 2019 Malone from Dalton Smith. Amerks 1-0. After the ensuing faceoff Aquin throws hands with a Charlotte Checker. Doesn't embarrass himself.
inkman Posted December 7, 2019 Report Posted December 7, 2019 Amerks 2-0, Brett Murray from Porter & Ogelvie.
inkman Posted December 7, 2019 Report Posted December 7, 2019 Amerks 3-0, Brady "Vicky" Vail from Redmond.
inkman Posted December 7, 2019 Report Posted December 7, 2019 Amerks 4-0, goalie with a terrible clearing attempt from the corner. Doesn't make it back to the net, defenseman shoots it towed net, forward tips it in. It was Cornel who tipped it from Lazar. 1

Ogre Posted December 7, 2019 Report Posted December 7, 2019 We were being outshot 19-8 at one point in the 2nd. Halfway through the 3rd we’re outshooting them 28-20. That’s nuts.

That’s nuts. What's more amazing the the motley Crew they are doing it with. Vail, Randall, Dalton Smith, Malone, Cornel, Aquin, Fitzgerald at forward, and obviously Porter, Ogelvie, Dea, Lazar and Murray. They have a seriously talented Defense crew with at least half of them NHL futures or AHL all-stars.
Ogre Posted December 7, 2019 Report Posted December 7, 2019 We play the Checkers again tomorrow at home. I expect mayhem.
Ogre Posted December 7, 2019 Report Posted December 7, 2019 1 hour ago, inkman said: Vail Especially with this one. Remember his stint her a few years ago? He was something like a -16 in 13 gp. He skates like a dump truck. He always has a random strap hanging out of his sweater or pants. He looks like he crawled out of a dumpster. I am grateful he scored tonight but I’ll be even more grateful when he’s back in the bus to Cincinnati.
Amerks8796 Posted December 7, 2019 Report Posted December 7, 2019 This team is really impressive. I honestly thought they’d be average going into this season. Thought they lacked top end scoring, but the defense and goaltending have been phenomenal. And they e been winning without CJ Smith, Thompson, Elie and Leier. And maybe Asplund too. 2
... Posted December 7, 2019 Report Posted December 7, 2019 This thread is making me want to take a drive over and see a game. 1
Ogre Posted December 11, 2019 Report Posted December 11, 2019 Hockey night in Rochester. Penguins in town for the only time this year. The vender that does garbage plate does a mini version with a beer for $5.85 on Wednesday nights. They use waffle fries which is genius IMO. I have to go all the way around to the other side for Genny products on Wednesday too. That’s almost unacceptable.? Go Amerks! 1
Ogre Posted December 12, 2019 Report Posted December 12, 2019 Lazar scores to put the Amerks up 1-0 end of 1. A few minutes before the period ended the puck deflected off the Pens stick and hit the ref right in the nuts. I did laugh. I’m sorry.
Ogre Posted December 12, 2019 Report Posted December 12, 2019 Dea-lightful move. Backhand to the five hole(giggidy). 2-0 Amerks.
PromoTheRobot Posted December 12, 2019 Report Posted December 12, 2019 (edited) 3-0 Ogilvie. Edited December 12, 2019 by PromoTheRobot
Ogre Posted December 12, 2019 Report Posted December 12, 2019 Oglevie deflects Nelson’s wrister from the blue line. 3-0.
Ogre Posted December 12, 2019 Report Posted December 12, 2019 CJ with an empty netter with over 5 minutes left? Wtf?
DarthEbriate Posted December 12, 2019 Report Posted December 12, 2019 Nice to see CJ Smith and Leier (and Burton, too although I'm completely unfamiliar with him) back in the lineup. Even with those reinforcements, the Amerks still dressed 7 D last night. Was Casey Fitzgerald still playing wing? Good on him to stay in the lineup since the D-corps is stacked. What's really fun is their record while missing all those forwards. (And still missing Wilson, Elie, Thompson, and Asplund. Although getting Asplund in an Amerks sweater might not happen again.)

Almost got whooped but he got back up and kept trying. I think these guys try a little harder in the A because the drop to the next level really sucks. I was looking for curiosity‘s sake at the average ECHL salary last night. This is the newest info I could find. https://work.chron.com/pro-hockey-salaries-1275.html “As of publication, the ECHL has a $13,260 weekly salary cap for 20 players and minimum player salary of $500 per week.”

Yikes, that's low pay for a job that requires travel every other week.
