I rarely here anything about Ryan Johnson's play. For a defenseman, that isn't necessarily a bad thing. For those who follow the Amerks, I would appreciate your views on him, and the progress he has made. If the Sabres reworked their blueline where he was brought up to the big league, could he be effective?

The only way I care about the 2026 1st round pick is if they have a shot at 1OA and McKenna. But ... that means they sucked balls again in 25-26 ... so that means I probably no longer care? Vicious cycle.

Sorry to quote you twice, but I just read the game story. Jiri agrees with me 😂 ”When the NHL regular season ended, Jiri Kulich was sent back to the Rochester Americans to experience intense playoff pressure, to prove he can perform in the spotlight when it matters most. Five games into what the Amerks hope will be a long Calder Cup playoff run, Kulich isn’t so sure he is living up to expectations. At least not his own. “To be honest, I’m still not good enough,” Kulich said. “I have to do more.” The Amerks will tell you he’s doing plenty.“ https://pickinsplinters.com/2025/05/16/kulich-rousek-rosen-come-up-big-as-amerks-rebound-to-tie-series/

Slacker. Should have starting working out in the womb.

What players do you see graduating from Laval? Since you know they're bigger which will forever in this board mean "tougher".

The stat line in there, but ROC is going to need him to take over a game. Three of his four points this series are secondary assists. He hasn’t looked dangerous with the puck on his stick. He’s capable of driving play at this level and they need him to.

This would be poetic fun. Best of all if Marchand scores the game winner to haunt them forever.

You don't have to get like that but if you enjoy it carry on. When I see the kind of players the Sabres need graduating from Rochester into the NHL I will know we have the right mix and type. As is we get a lot of the same.

I couldn't care less about any of our 2026 picks.

Has Clague improved his game this year? Is there any chance he can work his way back into the big club?

My kid is nine and playing hockey, it seems like we are far behind in development 😄

I think Kulich has been good, their best forward; And 7 points, +7 and 20 shots in 5 games is a pretty impressive stat line.

Hopefully we will see the Leafs choke at home!

He scored the game winner in OT

Only if the Leafs lose it.

Östlund, Murray and Kulich have more to give. Dunne and Clague have been dynamite. Rochester can win this series if the bounces go their way Let’s gooooo!

Another game 7 isn’t a bad thing.

It’s why the big league squad needs so desperately to make the playoffs. You never know who is going to step up and who will fold. Because then you may need to adjust a roster accordingly. And sometimes a playoff no-show can become a playoff warrior a few years down the line.

Not because of the goals, but tonight may have been the best game I've seen Rosen play. It was nasty out there and he was fully engaged and paying the price.

Had a great time tonight!

Don't care who they SAY is the best goalie. The ACTUAL best goalie put on a clinic after the 3 minute mark. No goals at all given up for the last 1-1/2 quarters. With some absolute highlight reel saves. My boy MacKay continued to show us why they've moved him from transition to (nearly) full-time O with 4 of the Bandits 1st 8 goals. Smith set the all-time playoff record for scoring as he became the 1st player ever to surpass 200 playoff points in a career. He finished the night with a hatty and 5 helpers. Buchanan also had a hatty. Byrne and Frazier rounded out the Bandit scoring. Can take their 3rd consecutive and 7th overall championship Sunday night at 8PM Eastern in Saskatoon. Game will be on the same networks this one was (ESPN+, NLL+, TSN, TSN+). LET'S GO BAN-DITS!!!!!!!!

Almost had the trifecta; Amerks Bandits Leafs losing. Damn

I’d be happy to see a 7th game, but it’s the Leafs, wouldn’t surprise me if they blow this lead

The Leaves are gonna stay alive.
