GDT—Amerks v Crunch Series Deciding Game Five

[Porous Five Hole]

AHL tv is $9 for the game. 
https://www.watchtheahl.com

They’ve played each other 16 times this year. Eight wins and eight losses each.  
 

From the Amerks site:

The Amerks avoided elimination again on Sunday in Game 4 on the strength of Malcolm Subban’s first career postseason shutout, the first by an Amerks netminder in the Calder Cup Playoffs since Ryan Miller blanked Hamilton in Game 1 of the opening round series on May 5, 2004.

Rochester enters tonight with a 46-22 record all-time in series clinching-scenarios and a 30-41 mark when on the brink of elimination. The Amerks are also 11-6 in winner-take-all contests, including 5-2 on the road.

No AHL team has won a best-of-five series when trailing 2-0 since 2015 (Grand Rapids); it has only happened 11 times in league history. The Amerks have reversed swept two opponents when trailing 3-0 or 2-0 (1960 & 1967).

The Amerks have posted a winning streak of at least two games 34 times in team history to win a series. In 21 of the 34 series, the club has recorded a three-game streak or more with the most recent coming back in 2004.

I’ll be at Kitty Hoynes pregaming and in the building for the game.  Hopefully we get the reincarnation of Norm Milley sending the Cuse home sad!

5; this is the game to decide who plays Toronto in the next round, which will also be a best of 5.

I believe this game is for all of the marbles, best of 5.

Spent $30 for The whole playoffs rather than just the $9 for today.

F-ing refs doing all they can to even this game up. 6 penalties on Roch, 1 on the Crunch so far. And Syracuse cashes in on the 5-3. 4-2 Amerks.

Bandits spoiler below. Highlight the space between the arrows to read.

One of the refs is former Amerk big Justin Kea. Mad that he couldn’t make it with Buffalo?

That high stick call on a follow through was complete garbage. If it happens on a follow through, it's not a penalty.

Bandits: What's the record for goals in one NLL game?

[PromoTheRobot]

You could feel that goal coming. 31 shots now for SYR to ROC 18.

[Claude Balls]

Yikes, Crunch with another. 4-3 with 10 mins left.

[Claude Balls]

Very questionable officiating all game leads to the Crunch tying the game at 4 with 29 seconds left. But Rochester with only 2 SOG in the third period doesn't help either.

[pastajoe]

Damn, they’re going to blow it. Going to OT.
