Laval now up 3-1, just past halfway through regulation.

Laval 2 Syracuse 1 after 1. If this score holds @Derrico gets to go to 1 or 2 playoff games as the Amerks will start in Belleville.

Laval & Syracuse tied at 1 w/ just under 6 minutes left in the 1st. If Laval picks up at least a point, Amerks start in Belleville. Regulation loss for Laval has the Amerks traveling to Laval.

Fitzgerald has already been sent down. Krebs & Samuelsson are eligible as well.

Not up on the AHL website yet.

Amerks play in Belleville if Syracuse doesn't beat Laval in regulation. A regulation Laval loss & the 3 game series is vs Laval.

Game over 5-2.

0:39 left w/ hopefully last stoppage. 4-2. Nevermind. 5-2.

Final minute ticking. Still 4-2.

75 seconds left.

Guess that 4th goal was huge. 4-2.

4-1

Final 200 seconds. Still 3-1.

Under 5 minutes to go. Still 3-1.

Under 10 minutes left. Still 3-1.

And the Bills other 6th round pick was a CB. (Actually picked before the OL guy.) One 7th round pick left & barring any trades their draft will be done.

@GASabresIUFAN, there's your OL-man.

To the bolded, would say you've defined leadership, rather than management. And that's what's so frustrating about Krueger's tenure. He was billed as a world class leadership expert, so much so that he's apparently been a speaker at Davos. And maybe he did empower the players to be their best when things were going well, but he didn't/ couldn't do it when adversity hit & that's when leadership is most important. (Guess the old axiom holds, those who can, do, & those who can't, teach. 😉 ) Props to @Doohickie, he saw Krueger as a snake oil salesman from day 1. Am really coming around towards Adams. He likes to talk about his own willingness to ask questions & learn; let's hope for all our sakes he asks the right people the right questions to figure how to get quality goaltending in the fold today (well, this sumer) and not just be set up for it 3 years from now.

If Belleville can keep from being outscored by 2 in the final 20, Amerks are in. If not, they hit the links by Monday. (Weather permitting, of course. It is Ra-cha-cha afterall. 😉 )

Hate last minute goals. Belleville 3 - TO 1 End of 2.

Didn't realize that Belleville still had something to play for. If they win, they can still catch Laval for 3rd place & not have to mess around w/ the opening round series against TO or Ra-cha-cha. Laval plays Syracuse today. Not sure what they'd need (a win or just getting to OT to stay ahead of Belleville). Belleville needs to win & have Laval lose in Regulation to flip seeds. Past the midway point of regulation & it is still Belleville up by 3-0.

13:46 left in the 2nd.

3-0 Belleville.

He didn't NEED to be a leader here, but reality is he WAS one of the leaders on this team and he had an influence on the culture. Also, Tuch wasn't here when the trade w/ Florida went down and pretty sure neither Pysyk nor Anderson was a Sabre at that point either. Adams had a plan & stuck to it.

Still have 3 picks left. Talking heads saying they've gotten good value on the guys they have picked (maybe not the LB, but they needed a 3rd guy) so could see them not going there yet w/ already re-signing Bates & grabbing a few in FA.
