Rochester Americans / Cincinnati Cyclones Season Thread 4 (The Krebs Cycle)

[Jacob582]

Other stuff is baffling, like Jankowski as a Sabres healthy scratch rather than the 2C down here, which makes zero sense.

Who do you want to be the extra forward(s) in Buffalo?

Malone? R2?

 

[Chainshot]

Hard to believe that wasn't a penalty. Wild.

Hard to believe that wasn't a penalty. Wild.

It was but it was also a spectacularly low IQ play by the player taking the puck right in front of our own net.

 

[Buffaloed]

It may be the AHL but there was some NHL caliber officiating tonight.

 

[debaser66]

I hope Quinn doesn't miss too much time

 

[SundherDome]

CLT was to powerful Tonight.

Being shorthanded is the biggest reason.

Some can't be helped. Murray, UPL in Buffalo. Quinn, Weissbach on IR.

Jankowski up to sit instead of a ELC contract

I don't mind Jankowski being the 12/13/14 in Buffalo over someone like Ruotsalainen who they need to work into game situations to see if he improves. The cement is still impressionable with R2, while Jankowski's is far more set.

Can we agree that the fact Grand Rapids and Rochester don’t have the same jerseys as the parent club is awesome? Add Hershey and Chicago to that.

It just sucks when the goalies are going up and down. Unless you go with an almost all white set like UPL is wearing right now.

And Milwaukee. I love when the farm team jerseys are different from the parent club.

The Sabres needed another body for practices and Jankowski showed last night that he can supply an ingredient the Sabres have been missing. The Sabres could have picked up some guy off waivers to fill that role, but Jankowski was known quantity and it shows they reward hard work.

I'd have preferred waivers.

I get the reward hard work motto, but this is also supposed to be a new turn on developing your players. Leaving Rochester with a 11F/7D and Cyclone guys is more of the same.

Between injuries and now COVID outbreaks I think a lot of teams are struggling with their rosters including in their farm clubs. The guys we need to see develop have been doing just that, I don't think a couple of rather tough losses are going to completely derail that.

You’re taking an understandable frustration over the Amerks current roster situation and making a misguided criticism of their development approach.

From a development pov it makes perfect sense to sign Jankowski so they can send the R2 down to play regularly. He (R2) still has possible upside, is a prospect and was a frequent healthy scratch before he got sent down.

From an Amerks roster perspective it would have been better to claim someone off waivers to accomplish this. I agree with you there.

But I’ve been wondering if they floated the possibility of earning a NHL contract to get Jankowski to sign with the Amerks in the offseason. Or if another NHL team was sniffing around for a depth player.

 

[MarkusKetterer]

And Milwaukee. I love when the farm team jerseys are different from the parent club.

Forgot about them. But yes. I like when it seems like a different league, even though it’s a feeder one. Hell, even if they used the same colours as the parent team, I’d prefer if they look different, instead of just a different logo on the same jersey.

Amerks are all over the Phantoms like a cheap suit, not even 2 minutes in.

Where O where is Quinner?

Out with mono.

 

[sabres4ever]

Former Amerk Cal (I don't have to give my all, all the time) O'reilly off 2 minutes for tripping

 

[Chainshot]

Cal O'Reilly tripping up Warren like Warren was late bringing the next round.

 

[sabres4ever]

Someone please escort Dell out of the building and lock the door behind him.

Do not let him back in.

 

[sabres4ever]

Check of the game? That could have been called boarding.

 

[Chainshot]

Pretty typical Dell goaltending. Wooof.
