@RSandersonWHTK - Thiessen starting for #AHLFlames. Confused. Ortio was off the ice first this morning.
Coach Huska told me he was starting and he did lead team on ice for warmups.
@RSandersonWHTK - Must have been some equipment issues. Joni Ortio is now in net (after first whistle) for #AHLFlames vs. #Amerks.
@kevinoDandC - #Amerks G Nathan Lieuwen with a great save on Max Reinhart. Sam's big brother, alone in the slot, and Lieuwen snared the shot.
@AmerksHockey - #Amerks with their first power play of the evening with 11:13 left in the first period.
LaxSabre - Amerks finally get their first shot of the evening/season via the PP. Larsson with the SOG.
Well there went that power-play - lasted 22 seconds - Amerks penalty. 4 on 4 for 1:38.
@RSandersonWHTK- Johan Larsson gets the 1st shot of the season for the #Amerks. [1st-8:59]
RCH was on PP but now Adam called for a hold - PP lasted 22 seconds.
@AmerksHockey - Coincidental penalties to Nathan Lieuwen and Sam Acolatse but we are still 4 on 4.
Johan Larsson serves the penalty for the #Amerks.
@AmerksHockey - Now Phil Varone takes a hooking penalty. The penalty box is getting a little crowded tonight, isn't it?
LaxSabre - Flames PP was killed - We are back to five on five. About 6 mins remaining in the first period.
Well that lasted about a minute or so - Amerks on the power-play now. Mathieu Tousignant with a elbowing penalty. (Penalty was killed.)
@AmerksHockey - #Amerks can't convert on the power-play. Still scoreless with just over 3 minutes left in the opening period.
@RSandersonWHTK - #Amerks G Nathan Lieuwen - blocker save on his former @WHLKootenayICE teammate and Sam's older brother - Max Reinhart.
@RSandersonWHTK - St. John's IceCaps D Will O'Neill is the first player to score a goal in the 2014-2015 #AHL season. #AHLOpeningNight
@RSandersonWHTK - Joel Armia steals puck, skates between 2 Flames, curl-and-drag, shot but Ortio gets the save.
Pretty flashy play by the #Amerks Finnish RW.
@AmerksHockey - 1st Period comes to a close as the #Amerks and Flames remain in a scoreless tie.
@AmerksHockey - Amerks will start the 2nd period on the penalty kill. Joel Armia with the late hooking penalty as the period expired.
@RSandersonWHTK - End 1st - #Amerks 0 #AHLFlames 0. SOG - Rochester 10 Adirondack 9.
