Rochester Americans: 2017-18

[Zip15]

Is that good? It seems like this is good.

Amerks win again btw. Points in 10 straight and 17 of the last 18. 16 of the last 20 available points. 28 of the last 36

And Fedun, Paetsch, and Bailey haven't been in the lineup for any of it.

Good win, sounds like Bailey might be back on Friday. Paetsch is inching closer, though I don’t even know who comes out for him at this point. Percy’s 25 game PTO is quickly coming to an end, so hopefully they give him an AHL contract.

Nylander with nothing but zeroes tonight. Not even a shot on goal. His play gets more concerning with every game that passes. He has 1 assist in his last 8 games and only 9 shots on goal.

Rochester Americans‏ @AmerksHockey -
#AmerksGOAL!!! the rookie sensation @_CJ_Smith_ with his team-leading ninth goal of the season and 27th point of the campaign to double the Rochester cushion to 3-1 early in the 3rd.

After allowing the first goal of the game, the #Amerks come away with a 3-1 VICTORY over the @UticaComets!

Rochester Americans‏ @AmerksHockey -
Rookie forward @_CJ_Smith_ records his sixth multi-point outing (1+1) of the season while goaltender @Icebeardude makes 29 saves as #Amerks push their point-streak to 10 games with a 3-1 win Wednesday night.

So happy for CJ and Linus doing well. Alex is a write off in my books right now if he cant cut it even at AHL level yet. Sometimes this happens, shame it happened to us but we have plenty of prospects doing well instead of him so it's all good. If Alex comes back to life it's just a bonus.

Not Amerks related, but Matt Moulson has 7 assists in 3 games for Ontario and is already 10th in points. Glad he hasn't completely lost all ability to play.

 

[Dubi Doo]

I'll be at the game tonight. I'm interested to see how Guhle and Nylander fair.

 

[Chainshot]

I'm fascinated why the Marlies list Dupuy on defense. I know he's down in the ECHL, but when did that happen? NM - it's just the roster PDF attached to the game notes.

Tennyson is the bottom pairing and Nylander is an invisible 3rd liner. Tennyson was our top pairing for a few games...

Tennyson is not really bottom pairing at all. He’s leaned on very heavily. Nylander plays a lot as well, though he doesn’t deserve it.

How has Criscuolo looked since returning? I've noticed he's not on the scoresheet as much.

He does everything well. One of my favorite players.

Good to hear. I enjoyed his time up with the big club.

I'm fascinated to see Gill and Blackwell both hitting the scoresheet as often as they have.

I love Blackwell. He’s quick and never stops moving. He’s always on the puck. Not sure his game will translate in the NHL but he is relentless every shift. Gill is a quieter player. I’m honestly surprised by his numbers.

Nice push in the 2nd to get the lead.

[sabrefan27]

That late goal by Ullmark is why I’m not a huge fan of his. He has a tendency to give up bad goals at bad times. The Amerks should be winning this game. Poor job of finishing and some boneheaded plays defensively.

And Amerks lose 3-2.

 

[Chainshot]

That goal reminds me of Lehner and Johnson -- should be a stop, goes in and they lose.
