Amerks8796 Posted November 22 Report Posted November 22 I have to say, I really like Leone so far. This is a very young team, with several call ups and injuries, and the Amerks play a better, more structured game than any Appert coached team ever played. They lead the league in shots per game, and give up the 3rd fewest. With Appert it was always the opposite, routinely giving up the most shots in the league. I also like his general attitude towards coaching. This isn't a practice team or a Sunday skate. Appert forced ice time to the prospects regardless, but Leone plays the guys who have earned it. As an example. Riley Fiddler Schultz was playing in OT, after he had payed a really solid game. 2 1 Quote

I'm sure some of it is due to different systems, but I like how Leone has them playing. The only issue is special teams, which have been abysmal. Mostly the power play. Quote

Marty Posted November 24 Report Posted November 24 Bad loss to a terrible Utica club (pun intended) last night at home. Sandstorm and Houser in goal for a 5-1 loss. Quote
