Porous Five Hole

No Mersch to start the second OT

ROC has not carried play, but they’ve had their chances including a 2-0 and could not cash. Mersch to the room after a puck in the face. Ostland will see more ice time and he has me nervous in his own end.

This is one of the greatest goaltending performances I’ve ever seen. The quality of saves Levi has had to make all night are just mind blowing. Levi up to 56 saves. ROC has to find a way to reward the beast.

In the arena, the feeling I have is that Levi is unbeatable tonight. I think the Crunch are second guessing shooting opportunities.

Yea Levi was exceptional that period. The play where Levi dropped his stick was because the shot hit his knob that hard. Very lucky there.

That is a high quality post for that grammar thread

My complaint is it is frickin COLD in the Syracuse arena

Behind enemy lines tonight. I bought a single in the “Crunch Club” and I’m wearing an Amerks jersey.

Do you think his reputation is turning around a little bit? He stuck with Granato to the tune of the seventh most tenured coach in the NHL. The GM is going into year five. The arena upgrade process is starting. It appears his meddling has reduced (family situation contributed). He’s handing out long term contracts. He’s only firing COO’s because they cannot keep it in their pants. Player facilities seem to be industry standard or better. While it isn’t a given that they’ll be a cap team this year…if they are, what are the complaints at this point?

Six series currently sit at 3-1. Someone asked me which team has the best chance to come back…the answer is probably none. But if I had to pick one, I guess Tampa? What would you say?

The Amerks could not win a defensive zone face off all day and it was enough to give Cuse low percentage point shot goals/the win. My kid had fun either way.

Came here to say what you’re saying. BRENDAN SHANAHAN- PRESIDENT Accomplishments: • 2014- • 2015- • 2016- Won the lottery • 2017- • 2018- • 2019- • 2020- • 2021- • 2022- • 2023- Won a round and they’re imploding again.

Amerks Game Preview Will be in Section 222 With the Lightning winning yesterday, that helps keep the call ups on the Tampa roster and not the Cuse roster for another day. It’ll be very important to hold serve on home ice today.

A tip of the hat to techno group Utah Saints. It has a nice ring to it.

I don’t have any opinion on him as a prospect, but found it interesting that Miro Satan’s kid is draft eligible this year. The Sabres have brought back Lindy and the Goat Heads. Now bring back Satan. https://www.eliteprospects.com/player/806027/miroslav-satan

The Sabres just hired a head coach who is fifth all time in NHL wins. I don’t care that he also worked here eleven years ago. This is a veteran hire that fans have been craving.

I’m open minded here. The assistant hires will be vitally important. Accountability was never a problem with Ruff. He will make sure this team doesn’t peel off of a hit and his practices will be hard. He has pushed offense with his teams. He gets to finish what he started with this team so long ago in the “No Goal” finals.

I cannot thank you enough for sharing. That red Amerks jersey is sitting in my car to send out. I’m just about as lazy as can be. My bad.

An awesome success story from a seventh round pick to 182 NHL points. Change can be good.

Regarding this decision, here is what I think Pegula is thinking: you can’t make money running an antiquated, million-year-old arena so here’s the keys to everything but the locker rooms. The problem here is that Terry’s profit & loss in ROC is immaterial to his seven billion dollar balance sheet. That is why it is so saddening to the local community. He’s basically like, “yea the Amerks/Hawks/Blue Cross Arena is less than 1% of my annual revenues and the P&L statement doesn’t make money so peace out.” Kim was the force of, “Rochester is important because it is my home town.” Terry has moved on from that and it sucks for us in ROC. He was the angel investor and it is no more.

I like the minimal travel and home ice advantage against Syracuse in round one

I’ll summarize: If Cleveland wins in regulation, they win the division. If ROC & CLE get two points the same way (OT loss or SO loss), Cleveland wins the division. If Cleveland does not win and Rochester wins, the Amerks win the division. Two points today earned by ROC guarantee home ice in round one, even if they don’t win the division. But here’s every possible scenario.

Spotify (even with ads) helps a ton. I’m a Spotify premium subscriber, but it should work for all. Also, eff the Leafs.
