Ogre Posted December 6, 2015 Report Share Posted December 6, 2015 To be fair about what happened last night, they were facing Bernier in net. To address the over all problem, they are just too small. Toronto pushed them around last night plain and simple. The few big guys they have don't pay like big guys every game.... Now take a look at goaltending...maybe next year?

Weave Posted December 9, 2015 Report Share Posted December 9, 2015 Tim Schaller out with an unknown injury/illness. Apparently he's been trying to play through it for a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cereal Posted December 10, 2015 Report Share Posted December 10, 2015 A few quick observations from last night's shootout loss to Utica (Vancouver): I was not impressed with Nick Baptiste. He didn't seem to work hard to backcheck or position himself. Didn't seem very quick. Pleasantly surprised by Evan Rodrigues. Constantly in motion, moving quick. Excellent goal on a 2-on-1 where he waited... waited... shot instead of passing. As a team, the 'merks were pretty awful in the neutral zone, and moving it out of the defensive zone. It kinda just looked like they never played together before, or didn't have a plan. 2 PP goals, but failing to score in an extended 5-on-3 time in the second period came back to bite them. Utica had a double-minor penalty, then two additional minors all piled up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inkman Posted December 19, 2015 Report Share Posted December 19, 2015 Amerks with a 7-1 Win. All goals scored by different players with the first 5 coming from D. Justin Bailey the only prospect with a G. Cal O'Reilly was a +4, for the Wolfpack Luke Adam "lead" the team with a -4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

inkman Posted December 19, 2015 Report Share Posted December 19, 2015 Rudy had a nice one, eh? It was radio only for inky. The Wolfpack sounded like a disaster. No surprise Luker was a -4. Cody Hodgson thinks he's bad in his own zone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cody Hodgson thinks he's bad in his own zone. They announced a home coming type thing for Lazy Luke but the crowd booed him. I sorta felt bad. Dupuy absolutely crushed him behind the Wolfpack net as well. Not a good night for Luke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norcal Posted December 19, 2015 Report Share Posted December 19, 2015 Does anyone who watches the Amerks regularly have an opinion on Jason Akeson? IMO he flashed early on in training camp and seems like a grind it out player with a scoring touch. Am I wrong or could he pull some 3rd, 4th line minutes in the future with the big club? He's still young innit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been pretty discouraged about their attendance since the early 00's. It was a decent crowd on Saturday. It still makes me sad when I see an arena 1/3 full. My parents had seasons and every game seemed like a sell out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The crowd should be 10,000. Lower bowl is already sold out. Im hoping it's going to be nearly sold out, love a lively atmosphere... Oh and the Amerks play in Buffalo Wednesday, I wont be going but according to the ticket map game is pretty much a sellout besides the 300 corners. Although I remember a few years ago they said it was going to be sold out, it was on tv and looked empty..

Tix are free/ cheap & included in the ST package again for STHers, but they only sent them out if the STHer requested the tix. The unused tix were supposed to go to charity and distributed to people that are expected to use them. I hope some kid got my seat. Last time tix were distributed to all STHers but, obviously, many went unused. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad they wised up and made it by request only. Kinda foolish thinking all Sabres season ticket holders would want to go see the Amerks.

carpandean Posted December 29, 2015 Report Share Posted December 29, 2015 (edited) I went last night. Game was maybe half full. They had a small contest, the result of which was that every person in attendance won a ticket (voucher) for a Wednesday night game at the end of January. As for the game, they were the better team early on, but clearly had no energy left by the third. Despite that, they only lost 1-0, and had Rodrigues had even the slightly bit of scoring touch early on in the game, they might have won 3-0. Don't know if the schedule is wearing on him, but he had a rough game. Edited December 31, 2015 by carpandean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know if the schedule is wearing on him, but he had a rough game. Rodrigues is a rook. He is suffering the same as Eichel as far as playing far more games than they are ready for. He is one guy that I think can play his way into the NHL.That elf bowling was a regurgitation of turkey bowling. Everyone gets a ticket to a Wednesday game that would never be sold anyway. My entourage of newbie hockey peeps loved it. My wife's sister and family. They've been in Hartford for a couple years so they saw they're hometown team for the first time. I hope hockey got into those kids heads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Head coach scheduled one of those scrimmages at the rink ahead of the game and as a result we have to sell 11 tickets per player. So, clearly since I have to buy them I am going to go to the game too. If you know anyone who wants $13 tickets for the game let me know. I'll be there.. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FLYNNSanity Posted December 30, 2015 Report Share Posted December 30, 2015 Going to Amerks at fnc tmrw. Who should I watch for? Bailey, I can see him as the future leader of the Sabres. Buffalo kid was a huge Sabres fan. Looked up to Briere. Bailey's growing, I hope he has a strong second half of a season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
