Rochester Americans: 2017-18

[Chainshot]

Hobbits come through with all four goals: Blackwell with two, singles of O'Regan and Griffith. No word on the ring.

.@CB__43 pounces on a rebound and pokes the puck into the cage to give the #Amerks a 2-1 lead with his eight goal of the season.

.@CB__43 gives the #Amerks a 3-2 lead as he digs out a @Tenner_7 shot and buries the rebound! Then 62 seconds later @DannyORegan15 wires a shot into the cage from K-9 (#CaptainPorts) and Griffith to make it a 4-2 #Amerks lead!

Limped to a playoff spot. My mood overall is incredibly low with this team. But their potential playoff roster will look good. On paper, they’re better than Syracuse. Hope they can put it together.

Made the playoffs way way before the end of the season

Made the playoffs by their own efforts. Didn’t rely on others losing out at the last one or two games of the season.

Although they have been struggling and the Sabres grabbed a lot of them due to injuries and such... they persevered and made it.

I give a lot of credit and props to them regardless of the warts and issues.
Scoreboard.

Go Amerks!

Add Bailey, Baptiste, Nelson, Guhle,Ullmark.

Potentially add some of Mittelstadt, Olofsson, Asplund.

Maybe even add a college UFA or 2.

If it is Syracuse they face, that won't be an easy matchup. But it is winnable. Hopefully they can stay healthy and the guys produce to their potential for a nice run.

Nice to see Malone’s progression in the back half of the season.

Welcome to the #Amerks Judd Peterson!
Peterson on the last 48 hours - "it's been exciting, little nerve-racking, just because I'm coming into a new enviornment.
But so far, it has been pretty good."

You're doing a good job. Do you cover home games in person?

Thanks! As many games as I can in person, always at Friday and Saturday home games. My real job allows me more availability to cover practices where the good info comes from.

Cool! #3 is wide open for Borgen in Buffalo, too...

 

[Chainshot]

Did Bailey get assigned today? The for real assignment, not just the “sent down at the end of the day, called back up the next day” paper transaction they have been doing.

Very cool to see things take a positive turn for Peterson

JB stocking the pond back up. Just in time for the playoffs

He may not be done either. I wonder if it's good enough by the time playoffs start

 

[Dingo44]

If Pu's Kingston team loses as well as Asplund's team I could see the Amerks having both. Hagel too?

Maybe that's why we didn't make any moves at the AHL deadline...makes sense. See what the kids we already have can do once they're available.
