Rochester Americans and Jacksonville Icemen 2023-2024 PLAYOFF Thread; Game 2 - 3:00 pm EDT, Rochester Hosting Syracuse

[Chainshot]

Rosen from the RW spot on the PP. Nice goal.

 

[Chainshot]

Prow ties it:



Murray on a partial breakaway makes it 4-3!

 

[Chainshot]

Sjalin's been a really nice pickup.

 

[Chainshot]

Murray's goal -

 

[Chainshot]

Kulich going to the net on his backhand like a boss. Stopped in tight, but that was as authoritative a drive as he's had in some time.

 

[Chainshot]

I appreciate Cheeks taking no shit there.

 

[Chainshot]

And tied. Neuchev took a penalty and Hartford converts. Appert talked at length about not giving them free opportunities on their PP since they were third in the AHL coming into tonight's game.

 

[Chainshot]

Novikov and Prow and Giroux defending badly, and it's now 5-4. Eek.

 

[Chainshot]

Jiri Kulich may be back. Another net drive, this time he scores.



That's his third point of the night thus far.

 

[Chainshot]

Merschie! Captain cleaning up the garbage after Novikov gets it there from the point. 6-5 Amerks.

 

[Jacob582]

What a roller-coaster.

I think I found a worse goalie than Tokarski.

 

[Chainshot]

Jobst wins the draw against Riley Nash with only 6 seconds left to secure the win, 6-5. Weird that the staff wanted to minimize penalties and managed to twice put them down with too many men on the ice penalties in the first period. Kulich and Rosen looked a lot more like themselves tonight. Sjalin picks up a pair of assists and now has four points in five games since the trade.

Garand is very young, only 21, and still has okay AHL numbers as their defacto #1. Hartford let a lot of Amerks pitch a tent, sling their bedroll and camp in their crease tonight.

Amerks camped in the crease? Burn the film. Adams sees it and they are good as gone.

Mersch and Murray in particular. Kulich had a couple net drives, including on his goal where he was less than a stick length from the crease.

Does Metsch have NHL wheels? If so i like to see him get a glimpse if for no other reason than to send a message going to the net and wait for it...stopping is prized.

Mersch is one of the slowest players in the AHL. He was slower than Murray before he had a bunch of injuries over the last few years. Murray? I would totally give Murray some runway as a PP screen and limited 4th line guy.

Lol! Was hoping the opposite as Murray lacks footspeed and decision making at Chel level.

 

[sabres4ever]

Wow, we won!

Amerks page says it's 5 - 5
But AHL page says Amerks won 6-5. Want to see the highlights.

[SECRET SQUIRREL]

I was there for that game! That color of blue that they used for the ice seriously made it look like they were playing roller hockey. It was weird but still kinda cool to see them trying something different! Also was during the lockout so it was nice to go and watch some hockey without having to drive out to Rochester.

Was curious where the Amerks were in the standings and wound up being absolutely floored to see that Hershey already has 93 points after 60 gp. That's insane.

They have two goalies with 20 wins. It's impressive - not a high octane team, just sort of a classic big team that defends well (fewest GA in the league) and is offensively opportunistic. Best PK in the entire AHL, 2nd best PP in the East (5th overall)...
