Isles fire pxp guy Chris King; would be fun to have in Buff
PromoTheRobot replied to PASabreFan's topic in The Aud Club
Exactly. WGR would have to pay for it's own radio crew. Considering Audacy is essentially in bankruptcy that will never happen. Sadly the TV crew forgets the radio listeners when they go off on their tangents. -

The Amerks have been a bit cool of late, too. Hoping the return of Kulich and Östlund will fire them back up. I mean why not?

It will never happen but the Sabres need separate pbp for TV and radio. -

Anything bigger than 42ft is a waste. -

I doubt it. Why boat to Wisconsin when you can fly private? -

That's friggin' Dahlin (and Muel) but our Norris guy sometimes is the worst defender. Seriously, WTF is he thinking? -

They did play better, and one reason, I think, was the addition of Jacob Bernard-Docker. He raised the level of the Sabres D with his physical play. I wish I could find video clips of JBD skating hard to not only get back on defense but actually ride opposing players off the puck! It was something to see. But I also think the Sabres were smarter (not perfect but better) managing the puck. Fewer turnovers leading to odd-man rushes and better breaking up opposing possessions in their end. But when they did make a mistake, Reimer was ready. I don't know if anyone caught David Leggio (former Amerks goalie and now goalie instructor) on the WGR morning show today, but he talked about how Reimer is just a more mentally advanced keeper. He doesn't just react to shots but he's reading and anticipating the play. So what looks like an amazing save might be Reimer just expecting something to happen and being in position when it comes at him. So in summation: new good D, better puck management, smarter savvy goalie all led to better results. -

I'm curious what the "disconnect" was all about? Did Lindy do a poor job making his wishes known, or were the players not used to being held to a higher standard? I wonder if being in the Sabres locker room there was a sense that losing was acceptable because "it's what we do." Maybe players put in a level of effort but we're okay when they didn't win? And Lindy tried to get them to "look in the mirror," a specific phrase he used in the press conference. I think that also relates to being upset at Adams for not signing more names. Maybe they expected someone else to get them out of their funk, but Lindy said "no, this is your job." Guys like Tage and Rasmus aren't "youth" anymore. So when do you start acting like grown men? -

You'll waste any goalie you bring in if you don't fix this first. -
Helenius called for goalie int. He was pushed in by a Marlie but no matter. Last 2 mins of OT TOR on the power play. Marlies win. Amerks could have cleared the puck but turned it over. Amerks finish with 92 points, .639, 42-22-5-3, 5th overall in the AHL. Onto the playoffs. Rochester will face Syracuse in rd. 2.

Multiple Players including Kulich assigned to Rochester

https://www.flohockey.tv/ Not inexpensive, unfortunately. Appert got the Amerks to the AHL Final Four. We'll see what Leone does. -

Judging by the last few games the Angeles need those players back. Shut out last night by Toronto. -

Amerks have a bye rd1. They begin a best of 5 vs Syracuse. If the win that they face (likely) Laval, their biggest roadblock. Anyone know if Montreal called any key players up?
