JJ with a sniper shot.

[inkman]

JJ makes it 2-0 on the PP after the UTI player boarded Alt. 

[pastajoe]

JJP with the PP one timer, 2-0 Amerks.

[DarthEbriate]

Good. good.... 

[Doohicksie]

Getting caught up:

[pastajoe]

Utica looks a bit rusty. I expect they’ll pick it up. Amerks need to keep the speed going. 

[pastajoe]

Utica is starting to pick it up. Missed an open net on a rebound. Amerks are getting beat to loose pucks.

And Utica scores off a faceoff. 🙄

And Utica scores twice within a minute to tie it up. Amerks have been stuck in their zone all period. All the momentum is with Utica now.

[carpandean]

R2 #2

[inkman]

Rooster makes it 3-2 Amerks!!

[pastajoe]

Rooster scores again after some nice cycling in the zone. 3-2 Amerks 8 min left in2nd.

Ruotsalainen Is a playoff beast!… 7 pts in playoffs so far… Guy knows how to score… If he has a good training camp… might earn a promotion…

He might not come back, he may play in Europe next season.

How was Jimmy  Schuldt ever a thing ? 

[pastajoe]

JJP takes an undisciplined slashing penalty, and Utica’s 5th best PP ties it up 3-3.

[K-9]

He needs a good reason to stay and he’s certainly giving the Sabres a reason to give him one.

[pastajoe]

Tied at 3 after 2. Amerks need to pick up the speed they had in the 1st, eliminate the undisciplined penalties,  and stop with the D zone turnovers.

Ohhhh Schuldt.  🤬

[pastajoe]

Sloppy D as Utica speeds down the wing and gets behind them. First shot stopped but lack of back check lets them score on rebound. Utica takes their first lead, 4-3 9 min left.

WHOMEVER #4 is on Rochester is, he is hideous.  Got burned on goal #4 and almost cause a 5th goal.  Slow and small is not a  good defenseman

That’s Schuldt. Having Samuelsson back would definitely make a difference.

And again Utica scores off the faceoff. 5-3 Utica with 6 min left. It’s over.

That’s what I’ve been trying to say.   
 

Jimmy Schuldt 
 

prized NCAA un-drafted UFA from a few years ago 

[Crusader1969]

When people defend UPL numbers saying the the D in front of him is a tire fire - this is exactly what they are talking about 

 

 

[CTJoe]

yep for the 6th goal, Greer took it right through 44 and made Dell look foolish

[Believer]

Amerks have three days to regroup and reset… Chance for Samuelson to return…
