LGR4GM Posted March 31, 2014 Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 HE'S NOT HERE YET On the way at least. My question is how accurate is Garth's write up? http://www.hockeybuzz.com/blog/GARTHS-CORNER/GrigoRochenko/6/59029 His play on the defensive side of the puck improved. His skating was improved. The kid transferred his Buffalo experiences back to Quebec where he became a more well-rounded player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
26CornerBlitz Posted March 31, 2014 Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 @AmerksHockey Mikhail Grigorenko, who will wear No. 25, joins the #Amerks on the ice for practice this morning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LGR4GM Posted March 31, 2014 Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 Looks like there would be 9 games left in the Amerks schedule if I did math right? I hope Grigorenko has improved and shows us a little something during that time. I think he still has a ton of potential and is still the highest offensively gifted forward in our pipeline. He needs to work hard and utilize his talent still but I will hold out hope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

26CornerBlitz Posted March 31, 2014 Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 @kevinoDandC #Amerks update: Injured D-men Mark Pysyk, Matt MacKenzie are practicing. First practice for C Mikhail Grigorenko, who was assigned Sunday. Mike Zigomanis also back in practice for the #Amerks. Could be a maintenance day for Kevin Porter, since he's not on ice.

nfreeman Posted March 31, 2014 Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 OK Griggy. You didn't want to go back to juniors? Here's your chance to show that you were right. Now go out and play hard and keep your feet moving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good quotes from Mikhail. Hopefully he's been humbled. He might have gotten jerked around by Regier but it was probably a valuable learning experience if he can look at it with the right mindset.

LTS Posted March 31, 2014 Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 Yea.. well the one thing I think every player will get from Nolan (TM wasn't around when it happened) is the straight poop on where a player stands. I'm guessing that Nolan laid things out for the guys were shipped out and that they are seeing just how much the remaining players want to play for Nolan. There's no doubt in Nolan being genuine. We'll see just how much we wants to put into this game. Let's hope for the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
26CornerBlitz Posted March 31, 2014 Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 (edited) Grigorenko says he's anxious to help Amerks Kevin Oklobzija, March 31, 2014 The arrival of Mikhail Grigorenko with the Rochester Americans is a match made in hockey ... OK, on second thought, I'm not going there. The last time hockey heaven was uttered in regard to the Buffalo Sabres, the organization managed to do the impossible: become the frozen purgatory of the NHL. Let's instead just say Grigorenko joining the Amerks is a perfect match for player and team. The talented centerman can show who he really is as a player, which is something Sabres general manager Tim Murray and coach Ted Nolan really want to know. http://youtu.be/pR5VHoOQGkI Edited March 31, 2014 by 26CornerBlitz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

26CornerBlitz Posted April 1, 2014 Report Share Posted April 1, 2014 What is going on with Joel Armia? How is he looking as of late? Lately Armia has been meh and was a healthy scratch a couple of games ago. Shows flashes of his elite skill set, but he's not consistent at all. Needs to show and give more.

mjd1001 Posted April 2, 2014 Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 The Amerks games (a few of them) were on Time Warner earlier in the year. Am I missing it or is the current game on now? If not, any idea why the Sabres don't televise more in Buffalo? I watch the Amerks whenver I can find them on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

26CornerBlitz Posted April 3, 2014 Report Share Posted April 3, 2014 @SabresProspects Nice period for Grigorenko. Looked comfortable both ways, punched a few shots, got some point work on PP. Centering Sundher/old pal Roy http://youtu.be/7cgRmYUNTAg @SabresProspects Nice job by Dan Catenacci driving the net and tipping a Porter feed for the second Amerks goal.
