GDT: 4/22/23 Amerks @ Crunch AHL Semis Gm2 7pm ET (AHLTV)

[DarthEbriate]

It's the second night of a back-to-back to start the playoffs. By the stats and commentary, the Crunch were the better team overall in game 1 and earned their overtime victory. It's up to the Amerks to rally and get the series even before game 3 on ... Friday? a back-to-back followed by 4 days off?... in Rochester.

This is far better than anyone questioning the severity of his injury and whether he is malingering or not.

Muel was held out of the AHL playoffs last year, too. Doctors have to clear them to play and the franchise is going to protect their top prospects over having them get run by some AHL scrub.

The AHL teams make their money at the gate. So the weekend games are where it’s at. I’ve been to Amerks first round playoff games in front of less than 1,500 people because it was early in the playoffs and a Tuesday night.

Amerks with ZERO ***** shots 13 minutes into the game.  They trail 2-0.

Am I seeing this right? 6:49 left in the first and not a single shot on goal yet? And the Crunch going back to the power play up by 2?

Maybe someone else should start the game day thread next weekend.

Amerks go 11F 7D again tonight. Metsa with his Amerks debut. 

Being shutout by 2 touchdowns in shots after one, and only down 2 goals. So... 1 successful shot it's a game again.

I guess this went poorly with no more posts

Bandits vs Toronto is on now on ESPN+.

Went out to dinner. It looks like there was a 5-min major and two minor penalties against Syracuse in the 2nd to give the Amerks a chance to get into it. Nothing to show for it.
