I have an extra ticket to 4/15 Amerks game

Got an extra ticket to Friday’s Amerks game.  Any Rochester area Sabrespacers want to join? So far it’s Taro and me.

I'm  interested.  Won't know for 24-48hrs though.  Don't wait on me, but if its still available Wednesday evening I can confirm.

I’d be more than thrilled to have @Weave as my guest.  Just thought I’d have some Sabrespacers fighting over my company. 😀

Game night a success.  No one in jail or dead.  Amerks…well…could have been better with their season on the line. 

[Weave]

Was a good time.  Wish I felt better about the guys in Roc after this one though.  Ugh.

[Andrew Amerk]

I would’ve went if I had seen this sooner. 

[Taro T]

Thanks again, Inky.

Good time.  Bad hockey, but a good time.

The Sabres really need to add a LOT more talent to the system.  Regardless of the injuries, we need Rochester to survive and thrive for Buffalo to be set up for long-term success.  This season is not acceptable for the Buffalo Sabres system.

I gotta disagree with this.

Dont get me wrong, I want the Amerks to win, but even more I want them to graduate good players to the Sabres.

To me, they’ve turned Mule into a bedrock defenceman, Krebs into an NHLer and Fitzy into a useful spare part this year.

And I suspect they’ve also prepped JJ, Quinn and UPL to do the same next year.

That’s a damn fine season, certainly the best they’ve had by that definition since Ennis/Foligno (that may have been Portland, but you get my point) and it has the potential to rival the lockout team for among the best of all-time.

Amerks were loaded to start the season.  Injuries band call ups decimated this team.  They had beer leaguers in net for 2/3 season. 
 

Not to mention every defenseman they have is either completely offensive or a face puncher.

They’ve been dealt a rough hand with injuries, but the real blow was the Fits/Mule call ups.

Without those two the back end just hasn’t been able to defend.

Losing Mule for them was like the ‘80s Sabres losing Mike Ramsey.
