All I’ll say is the coach and Kevin O echoed my thoughts of a poor effort and very few chances offensively. They were shut out at home. The forwards produced absolutely nothing.
-
Not on the website. But I think these opinions are held by most Amerks fans that have seen the first couple of games. Overall I really like the direction of the team but some individual players seem to not be improving.
-
Baptiste’s shots were very low percentage. I don’t think he even has a point yet this season. His poor camp as spilled over to games. Fasching has not looked good. Took a lazy slashing penalty in the offensive zone last night. He’s just very slow, I can’t see him ever keeping up in the NHL. Bailey is totally hit or miss every game and every shift.
-
I just don’t agree. The offense was non existent. They had maybe 2 good scoring chances. The defense played well enough. Offense did nothing.
-
What game were you watching? They were awful. That was some lazy, piss poor hockey. Mirrored the Sabres. The coach ripped them afterwards. Guhle looks lost. He has a long ways to go.

Sabres claim Jordan Nolan off waivers
Amerks8796 replied to SabresFanInRochester's topic in The Aud Club
No. More likely means Bailey/Baptiste/Griffith get sent down. Maybe one makes and Deslauriers is waived. -
Honestly, Baptiste was never impressive in Rochester. Scored a bunch of goals early last season, did little after. Very quiet player unless he has the puck in close. I don’t view him very highly.
-
Yes extremely happy. Nice to have a GM actually care about the Amerks. Should be a good team.
-
I was referring to Tennyson. Goloubef could earn a contract. The 7 D in Buffalo is pretty set in stone. Ristolainen, McCabe, Scandella, Bealieu, Bogosian, Antipin, Gorges.
-
Goloubef would likely stick over Tennyson. He was signed as depth to start in Rochester.
-
Josefson is making Buffalo. Tennyson has almost no chance. The Amerks are actually 2 over the vet limit now by my estimation of who gets sent down. Gorges would make them 3 over. Veterans include: Porter, Griffith, Falk, Fedun, Tennyson, Paetsch, MacWilliam and Allen.
-
No. They're already over the vet limit. Gorges would just create an awful situation. He'll be in Buffalo.
-
It's based on previous seasons. If someone crosses over midseason, they aren't considered a veteran until he next season.
-
I would be shocked if Josefson was sent to Rochester. Very unlikely. I also think Deslauriers will make the Sabres as the 13th forward, but he's a little more likely to be waived. Ultimately, the Amerks veterans to start the season will likely be Griffith, Porter, Fedun, Falk, Tennyson and Paetsch. They also have Andrew MacWilliam and Conor Allen who are both veterans. Sending an additional vet down like Josefson or Deslauriers would create a bad situation and I doubt Botterill does that.
-
All the vets like Deslauriers, Gorges and Moulson will make Buffalo. Deslauriers is a good 13th forward who can sit in the press box for long stretches and play here and there against a bigger or more physical team. Just can't see any of them getting waived to Rochester. It doesn't accomplish much and creates a veteran problem in Rochester. Injuries will eventually make all of them necessary and the prospects will get their chance as well.
-
Yes. He just won a Calder Cup with Grand Rapids. He's very good at the AHL level.
-
Issue now is the veteran rule. Depending on how things shake out, Amerks may need to sit a couple vets each night. Usually this takes care of itself relatively quickly with injuries and call ups.
-
Amerks just signed Nathan Paetsch. The defense looks very promising on paper.
-
Genesee is releasing a bourbon barrel aged old ale. Looking forward to that one.

At best he'd be 8 on the depth chart, more likely 9.
-
A lot of great beers on tap. Heard their own milk stout is really good but they had limited quantities and it may have kicked by now.
-
This is a great signing. The Amerks are looking good. I'd like one more solid bottom 6 forward and they should be set. Or one more NHL forward signed for Buffalo.
-
Defensively, this means Stephens, Florentino and Martin are in the ECHL
-
Murray signed a few good players on July 1st and ignored the Amerks and organizational depth otherwise. Here's a great example. Casey Nelson made the Sabres out of camp last season. Right now? He's the Amerks 5th defenseman.
