I agree he's played pretty well since returning. Interesting move by RR. Def makes sense for a U18 team, but a bunch of adult/millionaires?

Nice job by Ennis on that 3rd goal. Beat that D-man 2x.

That sucks. If Sabres trades include D on the way out, and Pardy moves up, could be a rough run to playoffs.

I only saw the -3 briefly, good to know, thanks.

I don't get the "going through the motions" either. This is your one shot to make millions over the next 5 - 10 years, and you don't care/step up? I guess it's possible, but I doubt you make it this far if that's your make-up.

Brennan back in the line-up hopefully. http://miamiherald.typepad.com/flapanthers/2013/03/not-enough-in-to-leafs-help-playoff-hopes-with-3-2-win-over-panthers-cats-go-2-3-on-roadie-headed-home.html#comments "I understand that KD wants to win and DT want to showcase players but can someone tell me why JT Brennen was a healthy scratch and that old fart Kuba and liabality Campbell were playing?

The $2 molsons pre-game are nice for sure. But a solid IPA and some fresher food would be welcomed. Frontier Field like.

Yes. This year in 300 level (301?). There was a good pale ale on tap in that area, can't remember the name. Roc has Shocktop I think at the one "bar", long lines. Also Brooklyn Lager in a can. Otherwise Blue Lights all around. It may also mean they'll upgrade the sound & scoreboard. I understand the city would still own the building, but if he's making more cash off operations maybe that's motivation to dump cash in? He did new HD screens on the scoreboard last year which was nice. But the sound is still bad and there are still 19 inch CRTs in the concourse that are all 1980 looking (that actually match the beloved Amerks faithful quite well).

Awesome news! The food/drink is tough. IPAs please!

I'm OK with this as long as they were lobs to the crest to setup an O-zone faceoff for Hodgson or Ott. Because that's his job.

Just watched the Rolston post-game. Good stuff. Nice change from Lindy always taking it for the team with "it's my job to have them ready". #29 as C for 15 more games or less. On Hecht, admittedly my favorite whipping boy this year, I'd call-up/dress Tarnasky, Mancari, or Girgs before him for the rest of the season. Sure he can play acceptable D, but he brings no offense, no energy, questionable effort, and is boring as hell to watch play. But for $1mm per year this is OK? Eh. He's just going through the motions as he pads his retirement fund. Consider ~700 games as a Sabre, positive memorable moments? Two for me - "yoyo is mad" and Lecavalier fight. On second thought, scratch that, let the AHL guys stay in ROC and allow Hecht and Pommers this last month together. Damn this team.

Except for Hecht. He plays average D for $1mil so it's cool.

I did. Phone call. Give me a kid who plays his heart out for $450k.

At least he's trying. Hecht, terrible, turnover and watch scoring chance. That signing is where Darcy lost me.

Rob Sanderson ‏@DropThePuckWHTK Huge press conference happening at Frontier Field on Thursday, involving both #Amerks & #RIThockey....let the speculation begin! #Roc Hmmmm.

It was to me for a week or two, but when every 3rd tweet became a "Gerbe is short" joke I hit unfollow. "Nate's cool with it". Ehh. The blown opportunity behind the bench becomes more clear.

Yup.

Miller post-game.Kaleta comments at 2:25 http://audio.wgr550.com/a/72147680/ryan-miller-postgame.htm Fun times!

It will be interesting. As Ink suggested up thread, RR probably didn't go to bat for him since he's got his AHL players chomping at the bit. And Raptorze is right, he didn't appear to be playing hard.

Pretty sure Flynn has only played wing (right?) in Roc, for what it's worth. Maybe because they've been crowded at center and wanted him on a top line???

Quick, somebody tell that to TJ Brennan!

Man Biega gets no love! Yeah he's not a blue-chip nor a big body, but look at Flynn the past couple of weeks, solid player, serviceable, 24 years of age.

Well he was at the Amerks game tonight. My friend spoke to him in the hallway of the suite level and said it was a pleasant exchange regarding Enroth's game last night. There also appeared to be lot of scouts in attendance (if dudes in suits with notepads watching the game alone from upper rows = scouts).

Interesting. Drew MacIntyre probably has a similar thread on his phone.

Just wondering what happens if Leggio got the call due to injury. Lieuwen or Knapp. Knapp has been playing at least.
