Rochester Americans / Cincinnati Cyclones Season Thread

With Buffalo's season going south, Botts needs to make sure Rochester ices the most stacked lineup possible for the playoffs. I'm fine with the mercenary route. He should absolutely be gaming things so that Mitts can get some playoff experience down in Rochester. He'd also provide some needed center depth. It also wouldn't hurt Thompson to be down there for the playoffs.

Hi guys.Can someone who watches Rochester regularly give me a analysis on Will Borgen? Saw him play a few times and really like his simple defensive game how has he looked this year? Thank you

Borgen and Dougherty have been the best two defensemen on the team. You aren't going to see much flash out of them but you'll see simple and excellent defense. One of the benefits of sitting up high to see the whole ice is watching guys like them and how they impact a play. Does that type of game translate into the NHL? A million dollar question. For now, they're playing as you said a simple defensive game and that helps win hockey games.

Borgen also scored a rare goal this weekend...

Thank you for the feedback.With Dahlin, Risto,prospects Laaksonen,Pilut, Bryson Fitzpatrick,I would say Borgen and Samuelson would be the perfect fit in the near future.Thanks again!

How come Dougherty has only played 36 games?

 

[keithLGA]

Dougherty was odd man out when Pilut was here.

 

[AustonsNostrils]

HOLY **** WILL BORGEN JUST DEMOLISHED A CLEVELAND MONSTER IN A BIG TIME FIGHT!

 

[Tsyolin]

Borgen f***ing destroyed that guy. That was glorious.

 

[Tsyolin]

Full fight with the Don Stevens call.

 

[Snippit]

Can we sign Redmond to an NHL deal?

He's having a career AHL year. I see he put up 20 points in 59 games with the Avs as well.

It's not like we're loaded with right-shooting D.

At least one of our teams has some1 who fights. Gj Cyborg!

Crush on Borgen grows

 

[Chainshot]

Spud of mass destruction.

Wedgewood stops 29 0f 31 shots.

Yes Virginia, Borgen can throw 'em...

Leier has been all over the scoreboard. Is he first in line for a call-up?

Elie has one less point in four fewer games, let’s slow down on anointing Leier as the next one.

Elie played NHL for most of the season. As far as forwards go, if Oloffson or Nylander can't outpace either Elie or Leier, why on earth would they be called up before Leier?

This is confusing. Olofsson is clearly outpacing Elie, and Leier. And everyone else for that matter. He's the next call up, and it'll be an emergency call up after the trade deadline. Although some folks that have been covering Rochester all year suggest that Dan O'Regan should be up before Olofsson.

That’s the exact point I make every time people start screaming for Rochester promotions.

Only due to PPP. I agree they're all close, just wondering where people thought Leier fit into the picture. His contract makes him a see now or never type of situation

Not defending Elie but the guy played like once a month for Buffalo.It would be hard if not impossible to find any type of consistency playing once a month.Your timing, game shape etc all suffer and knowing if you screwed up your not playing again makes it worse.

Oh, yeah, he's going to be group VI huh?
