Rochester Americans and Jacksonville Icemen 2023-24 Season Thread

[Chainshot]

Kulich is back.

 

[Gabrielor]

Crazy goal..

 

[Ace]

That’s five goals the last five periods for Kulich who is playing his first game as not a teenager.

 

[Chainshot]

Full marks to Rousek taking the hit to make that play to Davies on the clear.

 

[CaliSabresfan24]

Kulich is back.

That pass from Davies... Chefs kiss

 

[Chainshot]

Having Cheeks back in the lineup makes the defense pairs work.

 

[Chainshot]

They Globetrottered the Marlies on that last shift.

 

[SonofHerb]

2-1!!! Rosen insane speed to win a race. to Biro. SHORTY!!!

For me, as impressive as the speed was taking a hit on the wall and still controlling the puck for the pass.

Last playoffs we discovered that Rosen doesn’t react to hits. He was pinballed around in games and just kept going. It was an interesting development.

How has Ostlund looked?

 

[SonofHerb]

Not to be lost in the amazing offensive display, Kulich has had a couple of backchecks tonight that not many would have got to. The hustle has been impressive.

 

[Beerz]

How has Ostlund looked?

Not playing until weekend

 

[Gabrielor]

This has been a firework type game.

Big saves by Levi
Big goals by Kulich
Big speed by Rosen

 

[MOGlLNY]

Kulich not blowing the zone and still absolutely flies past those dudes to bury it. Nearly put Murray back on LTIR. Not saying he was Olofsson level but he's fully adapted to not cheating for offense, whew boy.

He's embraced the d-zone stuff. He tracked back on a backcheck a few weeks ago where he rocked the guy he caught on the 2-on-1. Turned the play and it cleared the zone... it was glorious.

Do you think he's a legitimate center prospect now?

He could be the center they need....in 3-4 years.

Do you think he's a legitimate center prospect now?

Yes. Capital Y.

 

[Chainshot]

Do you think he's a legitimate center prospect now?

Maybe. I want to see this in the playoffs too. But his 2-way game for the last month or so has really popped. They get the shitty matchup now (he and Rosen and whoever is their other winger).

 

[Bobby Bottle Service]

Amerks are bringing an exciting roster into the playoffs.

 

[Chainshot]

Merschy...nooooo.

 

[HOOats]

Kulich is just a phenom of a scorer. There's the same air of inevitability when he's bearing down on goal as the greats. Goalies just have no clue, on the shots or the dekes. It's encouraging to know that he and the org have been working to fill out the rest of his game - because the scoring is as baked-in as it gets.

As soon as he gathered the puck I knew he was scoring. Would have been stunned at any other result. Some guys just have that factor to them and he has it

 

[Chainshot]

Abru-shizzy. Dope.

 

[Chainshot]

I am shocked Clifford hasn't done anything particularly dirty now that the Marlies are down 2. Maybe if it gets to 3 his inner d'bag will re-emerge.

 

[Chainshot]

How has Ostlund looked?

He hasn't practiced with the team, so he's scratched.
