Rochester Amerks / Minors Thread '12-'13 Ed. II (Marlies win series 3-0)

[tsujimoto74]

Hackett with a huge save SH on a breakaway.

 

[misterchainsaw]

Hackett robs Scott on a short-handed breakaway after Rismiller's stick exploded at the point.

Their PP continues to look completely non-threatening, though.

 

[LaxSabre]

Kevin Oklobzija ‏@kevinoDandC - Mike Zigomanis on the 2nd PP rebound. #Marlies lead the #Amerks 1-0 at 12:39.

Kevin Oklobzija ‏@kevinoDandC - Matt Hackett stopped the Jerry D'Amigo shot from above the RW circle.
Greg Scott the first rebound try, Zigomanis then an EN for the goal.

Kevin Oklobzija ‏@kevinoDandC - 6,052 attendance at Ricoh. (LaxSabre - yesterdays attendence was 5,544)

Hackett robs yesterdays hero - Greg Scott - on a shorthanded breakaway chance - keeps the game at 1-0 Marlies.

Kevin Oklobzija ‏@kevinoDandC - Try again, Matt Hackett says. Why would anyone think they'll beat him glove side?
Greg Scott a SH breakaway, denied.

End Second Period - Marlies 1 Amerks 0 - Shots On Goal - 2nd - 10-6 Marlies. Game - 15-10 Marlies.

Another Rochester penalty. Special teams are killing Rochester in this series.

 

[tsujimoto74]

Amerks yet again to the penalty kill after Macari gets 2 for roughing.

 

[misterchainsaw]

Ok, that's a terrible, TERRIBLE call. What the **** was the ref watching when that started?

 

[gallagt01]

That's a bad call. Holzer should have went too.

 

[French Connection]

Amerks PP needs to get something.

It has been just god awful and Zero change in the set-up. Special team is killing the Amerks.

Zero change in the setup? Grigorenko's playing on the first unit and he wasn't even in the lineup when they went 0 for 6 yesterday.

 

[French Connection]

Zero change in the setup? Grigorenko's playing on the first unit and he wasn't even in the lineup when they went 0 for 6 yesterday.

Is he playing today?

 

[misterchainsaw]

Is he playing today?

Um. Yes. As I said in my post he's playing on the 1st PP unit....

 

[misterchainsaw]

Welp, game over. Where is Biega going with that puck? Awful decision.

 

[LaxSabre]

Kevin Oklobzija ‏@kevinoDandC - The official time-on-ice sheets have Mikhail Grigorenko with 11:27 in 1st 2 period for the #Amerks. A totally uneventful 11:27, I will say.

Kevin Oklobzija ‏@kevinoDandC- Jerry D'Amigo with an open-net goal.

Kevin Oklobzija ‏@kevinoDandC - #Amerks now trail 2-0. Matt Hackett went to play a dump-in but Greg McKegg beat him to it and centered. D'Amigo all alone, empty net.

Amerks finally get a power-play - well it seems like it - need to score here. Connolly to the box.

Kommisek and Rissmiller - each go for roughing - Amerks still on PP for 1:17.

Kevin Oklobzija ‏@kevinoDandC - #Marlies RW Greg Scott on the bench, in pain. Maybe a hyper-extension of his elbow after odd collision with Phil Varone's knee on PK.

 

[raging]

Welp, game over. Where is Biega going with that puck? Awful decision.

Yep, he wasn't even really under pressure. Just a terrible decision and even worse execution there.

McKegg didn't beat him to it. Hackett played the puck to Biega and Biega tried to throw it back behind the net where McKegg and Hackett still were and it hit one of them and went to McKegg who then centered.

Biega should have never thrown the puck back into traffic in that situation.

 

[misterchainsaw]

Grigerenko doesn't even look particuarly ready for AHL hockey right now.

Hopefully it's just a product of being unfamiliar with his teammates...

 

[joshjull]

What? Two minutes for Cody for a big hit?

 

[AmerksPuck]

I hope I never see Mancari again after this year- he is the absolute worst, most selfish player I have ever seen. Just bombing away all night on the PP, guy has no clue...

 

[LaxSabre]

Kevin Oklobzija ‏@kevinoDandC - Cody McCormick rubs out Jerry D'Amigo on the boards at the #Amerks bench. Roughing with 10:18 to go. (LaxSabre: Bad call)

Kevin Oklobzija ‏@kevinoDandC - Star War theme playing on the Ricoh PA system. Yeah, this is definitely a re-airing of a previously played playoff series.

Kevin Oklobzija ‏@kevinoDandC - Zemgus Girgensons goes to take out Greg McKegg on the end wall but takes an elbow (?) to the face. Some blood; he heads up the tunnel. (LaxSabre: Wow no call there!)

 

[misterchainsaw]

Get the puck UP Mancari

 

[LaxSabre]

Get the puck UP Mancari

Kevin Oklobzija ‏@kevinoDandC - Drew MacIntyre with a point-blank save on a Mark Mancari rebound try.
Tim Connolly will go for a cross-check to Mancari. 6:12 left.

Kevin Oklobzija ‏@kevinoDandC - #Marlies RW Greg Scott is fine, btw. He's out on the PK.

Marlies kill the penalty - Amerks will need too score two in four minutes to send it to OT.

Girgensons returns to the game - Maybe he can pull a Willis Reed?

Kevin Oklobzija ‏@kevinoDandC - Zemgus Girgensons waiting for a whistle so he can get back onto the ice from the ramp to the #Amerks dressing room.

 

[ForsakenSabre]

Yep, he wasn't even really under pressure. Just a terrible decision and even worse execution there.

Thanks for the feed!

 

[raging]

The only thing this PP seems to be able to set up is blocked shots by Mancari....

 

[LaxSabre]

Kevin Oklobzija ‏@kevinoDandC - A lot of the #Sabres future on ice for these extra-attacker shifts: Larsson, Girgeonsons, Flynn, Pysyk now. Grigorenko before.

Kevin Oklobzija ‏@kevinoDandC - Cody McCormick tried to pound on Jerry D'Amigo. When Paul Ranger intervened,he threw a few punches at him. Old-school send a message time.

Kevin Oklobzija ‏@kevinoDandC - Just 7.7 left. Marlies will win and lead series 2-0. #Amerks face win or done on Wednesday at home in Game 3.

McCormick gets called for a 5 minute spear and a game misconduct? Could be a suspension for Wednesday?

Kevin Oklobzija ‏@kevinoDandC - End of Game 2. #Marlies defeat #Amerks 2-0. Shots 25-20 #ROC. Game 3 is 7:05 p.m. Wednesday in Rochester.

Heres the penalties at the end there - 19:52 - Mancari Rch (misconduct - unsportsmanlike conduct), McCormick Rch (major - spearing, game misconduct - spearing), D'Amigo Tor (roughing), Holzer Tor (misconduct - unsportsmanlike conduct).

 

[misterchainsaw]

Wouldn't be surprised if McCormick ended up suspended for game 3 for that late game spear.
