bcsaberks Posted December 31, 2011 Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 Great crowd last night! Almost a sell out, biggest crowd of the year. MacIntyre sucked. Biega was flying, he had a very nice game despite the redirection on Hamilton's first goal. Whitmore - goal, assist, fight and in his New Year resolution piece on the video scoreboard proclaimed he will bring a Calder Cup to Rochester in 2012. Compared to Varone or whoever saying the old "less sweets", that was a solid statement. Add Morrisson and Rankin to the injured list, arguably our best D and F over the past month. I think this team will be very good once we get reasonably healthy. Next home games is 2 weeks out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blugold43 Posted January 8, 2012 Report Share Posted January 8, 2012 I'm fired up for the first MEANINGFUL trip for the Amerks to Hershey in quite some time today! I'm looking forward to seeing some competent hockey by a team in the Sabres organization. Anyone else heading to the game today? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blugold43 Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 not sure how many were able to watch, but it looked like an actual sabre game.. for the first two periods the offense was completely impotent and we got outshot 36-9. i'm not making that up. but somehow we were only down 2-0...thanks to Leggio, who was incredible. then all of a sudden kassian (and the power play) took over the game in the 3rd. he scored one in the first minute of the 3rd to make it 2-1...assisted on the brennan's pp goal to make it 2-2. i had a squirmy 4 year old with me so we were walking down the steps to leave with about 1-2 mins left when Kassian scored again to tie it at 3. then we were stuck watching ot and the shootout...mainly because my 12 year old would have hated me if i'd dragged her out the door during the shootout. Kassian COMPLETELY undressed the Bears goalie on the first round of the shootout, but after that they kept clanging off the post and we lost it 2-1. As you may have guessed by now, Kassian was a man among boys out there. None of the other guys who have spent time in Buffalo stood out. Leggio was incredible. I think he must have had about 50 saves including a penalty shot in overtime. Saw a lot of Sabres and Amerks jerseys in the crown which was fun...although I remember hearing them a lot more when the games were in the Bears old building 10 years ago. There was a guy in a Sabres Kassian jersey sitting directly below me who must have enjoyed himself! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Headed in the right direction and seem to be coming together as a group and having fun (from the twitter view). Which comes first? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darksabre Posted January 14, 2012 Report Share Posted January 14, 2012 Crazy end to the Amerks Marlies game here tonight. Foligno takes an iffy trip in overtime and Toronto wins it with a nice water bottle snipe. As the teams are all coming onto the ice Folgino gets bumped by a Marlies player as he's leaving the box and immediately start throwing punches. Both teams on the ice grappling. Brennan fought and fought and would not stop. Eventually everyone was separated but it was a rare event nonetheless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bcsaberks Posted January 18, 2012 Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 kevinoDandC Kevin Oklobzija #Amerks LW Michael Ryan, who hasn't played since Oct. 14 due to headaches/neck issues, due back Thursday vs. Oklahoma City. He looked fast back in Oct, hope he can get his legs back under him and contribute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bmwolf21 Posted January 20, 2012 Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 DandC Tweet from tonight's game: kevinoDandC Kevin Oklobzija Scouts from Wild, Avs, Oilers, Jets here for sure, maybe others. They can't like one thing they've seen from Zack Kassian tonight. No way. Anyone go to or see this game who can elaborate on his Kassian comment?

Saw a tweet earlier that basically said OK has been "punking" him all game and he has not responded. Either he's matured, or he's a puss. Subjective call.

bcsaberks Posted January 20, 2012 Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 Couldn't make it tonight either but read @matthewwgr (I think) said okc was chasing kassian around and he wouldn't step up. "punking him". And Kevin o mentioned he looked real clumsy on a hit. Saw a tweet earlier that basically said OK has been "punking" him all game and he has not responded. Either he's matured, or he's a puss. Subjective call. Yeah and I wonder who Matthewwgr is. New wgr guy following amerks? First game? Kassian has been stirring the pot all year in roc but skating away from the penalty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
