DarthEbriate Posted March 16 Report Posted March 16 (edited) Kulich, Rosen, and Neuchev get goals to pull away by the middle of the third. However, the Amerks collectively go full Alamo Death Star mode with for the entire 2nd and 3rd periods and are outshot 36-9 in those final forty minutes. Get that team a Byram. Levi saves many.

Saving 40 of 43 certainly qualifies as many. Too bad the crap defense in front of him gave up that 6 on 5 goal with just seconds left in the game. Levi has been tremendous in the A. Quote
Crusader1969 Posted March 16 Report Posted March 16 They need a "Levi" cam. The angles they have now don't do some of his saves justice. 1 Quote

Levi was still waking up. But for the other 59:30, Levi was unreal. And the 2nd Toronto goal, no one in the world coulda stopped. Bad deflection right onto a Marlies stick. Wide open net.

PromoTheRobot Posted March 16 Author Report Posted March 16 (edited) Actually Amerks won 5-3. Edited March 16 by PromoTheRobot Quote
inkman Posted March 16 Report Posted March 16 Amerks had to ice 8 D due to injury & illness. And they dominated. It might be their best lineup. 🤣 Quote
inkman Posted March 16 Report Posted March 16 Kulich scores his 2nd goal in forever (20 games?). Quote
inkman Posted March 16 Report Posted March 16 Feed is definitely AHLTV level. Save is other worldly. 1 Quote

JustOneParade Posted March 16 Report Posted March 16 Caught the second half of the game. (Thanks @inkman for the tip re: free game on AHL.tv). Levi was fantastic. Was doing the save percentage math in my head as the shot totals were racking up. Hated to see that last Marlie goal with seconds left. And because it’s been discussed previously, I found it interesting that the Amerks feed shows running shot totals but MSG does not. Quote

Crusader1969 Posted March 16 Report Posted March 16 Sabres don't want to shoot Wings just throwing it on net oh well, Sabres play better when they only have. 3% chance of making it Quote

inkman Posted March 18 Report Posted March 18 Great write up including some notes about a forgotten prospect. Quote
Claude Balls Posted March 20 Report Posted March 20 (edited) Good Lord, the Amerks need Levi back asap. Tokarski is absolute trash. Hartford up 2-0 just 2:30 into the game. Edited March 20 by Claude Balls Quote
OverPowerYou Posted March 21 Report Posted March 21 (edited) I feel like every time I open this thread the Amerks are winning. I feel like they’re on a 15-0-3 point streak right about now. Maybe it’s just lucky timing on my part Edited March 21 by OverPowerYou Quote

The Amerks are a flawed team defensively; from the goalie, out to the D, and then to the forwards. Imo, their only hope is to have Levi between the pipes. And even he will needs a miracle here and there with the group in front of him. Quote

They were good with Levi and his above average goaltending. Systems aside, Cooley & Tokarski have been objectively bad and the run and gun offense hasn’t helped the team. They will be dangerous once Levi comes to ROC for the playoff run. 1 Quote

Amerks need to keep winning to start ahead of the Marlies and Rocket, both on their tail with games in hand. Yeah, he was bad too. But I gotta say, that was the best Amerks game I've been to this year. Total slugfest, back and forth. Was worth the drive downtown in a total blizzard. I just hope Buffalo sends Levi back soon. They could really use him for Friday night against the aforementioned Marlies game. The usher in my section thinks the Sabres will keep Devon for the rest of the season and send him back for the playoffs. I really hope that's not the case. Without Levi, Rochester may not make the playoffs. And it looks like it will be another snowy drive to the barn Friday night. Wtf is up with this weather? We're getting more snow in the first week of spring than we've had all winter. 1 Quote
