One thing of note, the Amerks must skate 13 developmental players each night, which is defined as 260 games or less or pro experience including top Euro leagues. There is one exception for a player with 260 to 320 games. I haven’t crunched all the numbers, but some of our vets, including R2, may no longer qualify for developmental status. That roster above looks to have only about 10 “prospects” in Murray, Biro, Schuldt, Malone, Rousek, Weissbach, Laaksonen, Pekar, Tischke and Kisakov. Did not know this. Thx. Quote

So if someone finishes with 259 pro games at the end of this year’s regular season, they are still a developmental player all of next season. 1 Quote

Ogre Posted May 21, 2022 Report Posted May 21, 2022 My season ticket rep is awesome sauce. I also owe her an apology. When she phoned me to ask if I wanted her to sell me the third round now (before the season even ended). I scoffed a little and reminded her that their chances of playoffs were slim. She’s cool beans so I agreed. She was right! I’m grateful that she hit me up because I have my tickets already and at a discount. Amerks’ season tickets are a great deal and they make ownership of them easy and convenient. If they could only improve concessions (train ***** wreck) they would haul in a bigger crowd. 1 1 Quote

In my profession, that’s not something to ignore. Rochester is on the rise. Great mayor. Great County Executive. Great people. Great food. Great and strong Labor Locals. Industry is starting to flock here. If we keep this up we could easily become the number two most populous city in the state. 1 1 Quote

Mustache of God Posted May 21, 2022 Report Posted May 21, 2022 I'm more interested in Mule coming into the lineup. 1 Quote
Taro T Posted May 21, 2022 Report Posted May 21, 2022 (edited) 6 minutes ago, Mustache of God said: I'm more interested in Mule coming into the lineup. Particularly how much ice time he gets. If he's still in full game condition would be interested to see if he's just over 20 minutes per game or if Appert rides him harder to close to 30 minutes/ game. If he can do close to 30 minutes, even Laaksonnen might get to play as the 7th D specifically for the PP. (Presuming he'd still like to run just 11 forwards after Mersch comes back as it lets him double shift Quinn or Peterka.) Edited May 21, 2022 by Taro T F'n autocorrect Quote

The Amerks just beat Utica, the team with the best record in the conference with a .660 points percentage and set the AHL record this year for most consectutive wins to start a season. There were a few teams out west with a better points percentage, but the East was a much more competitive conference. I don't really follow the AHL enough to say much about the specific matchup, but beating Utica means we have a shot against anyone 2 Quote

But beating the best team in the conference certainly serves notice to Laval that the Amerks are for real. Quote

Laval is not as big and physical as Bville and Utica, but they do have a good goalie in Cayden Primeau. Quote

As I recall, the Amerks were the first team to put a dent in Utica's record and then proceeded to play the Comets quite well all season (COVID or injuries or not). However, Laval did well against the Amerks in the close of the year when Muel and Fitz were up with the Sabres. Add Fitz (and hopefully, Muel) and the Amerks should be at an advantage. Laval is certainly less veteran-nasty than Utica is my uninformed understanding. Quote
Doohicksie Posted May 22, 2022 Report Posted May 22, 2022 Well, and I think the Amerks have adapted to some veteran-nasty tactics themselves. Crush 'em! 1 Quote

I don't really follow the AHL enough to say much about the specific matchup, but beating Utica means we have a shot against anyone I feel like Utica’s record is a little misleading. When you take away those 13 wins to start the season, they were basically a .500 team after that - they went 30-29 the rest of the season. The Amerks and Laval should match well. The Amerks have an edge with more skilled youth, while Laval has an edge with experienced vets like Paquette, Ouellet, Dea, and Smith-Pelly. Quote

It affects all teams, but some worse than others and makes evaluations based on regular season records hard. Tischke, alt, Fitzgerald, Davidson, Krebs, Rousek, Jankowski, Holmstrom and Dell played 33 games or less for the Amerks this year. That’s half the playoff lineup. R2, Murray, McInnis, Malone Quinn and Biro played between 39 and 57. Quote
PerreaultForever Posted May 22, 2022 Report Posted May 22, 2022 hey, what's the story on this Rousek guy? I'm hearing he's been a big surprise performer. Does he have future NHL potential? Quote
LabattBlue Posted May 23, 2022 Report Posted May 23, 2022 (edited) What happened to Matej Pekar? For a 4th round pick who had a decent season during his last year of juniors, he has done nothing at the AHL level. Any thoughts from those who see the Amerks a lot?
