bob_sauve28 Posted December 5, 2015 Report Share Posted December 5, 2015 Injury to someone or he's just too good to keep down on the farm? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

... Posted December 5, 2015 Report Share Posted December 5, 2015 ROR has been so good, it's throwing him an additional bone. If they play their card right, the O'Reillys will bleed blue and gold like the best of 'em for the rest of their lives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pastajoe Posted December 5, 2015 Report Share Posted December 5, 2015 Probably want an extra forward for the western trip in case of injury. Maybe put him in for Larsson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wyldnwoody44 Posted December 5, 2015 Report Share Posted December 5, 2015 I will bang my "I've haven't seen a thing outta Larsson" drum, until I see something outta Larsson.... And then drum is still loud..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So do you think he was a legit signing, or was it part of the contract demands of Ryan O'Reilly? I can't help but call the guy Cyril. Any Oz fans here?

thewookie1 Posted December 5, 2015 Report Share Posted December 5, 2015 So do you think he was a legit signing, or was it part of the contract demands of Ryan O'Reilly? I can't help but call the guy Cyril. Any Oz fans here? I'd say a little of both, they probably told ROR, if you knock 250k off your Cap Hit cost we'll give your brother a better contract. In this case he's got a 1 way contract instead of a 2-way contract even though he'll likely play few games up with the Sabres. Simultaneously COR isn't half bad himself, and is a solid locker room presence for our young crop of players in Roch. So it was a win-win for both sides. I can honestly see COR being an Amerk a long time, since ROR is down the street, the pay isn't bad, and he gets to be a leader. At least that's how I see it.

nfreeman Posted December 5, 2015 Report Share Posted December 5, 2015 Oz was really good but then went downhill in its last couple of seasons, IMHO. Separately: do we know whether Cal was in the truck the night of the Tim Horton's drive-right-thru? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoss Posted December 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2015 I think Cal was a mix of both but it's likely his signing was earned through his own success at the AHL level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woods-racer Posted December 5, 2015 Report Share Posted December 5, 2015 I think Cal was a mix of both but it's likely his signing was earned through his own success at the AHL level. Rochester needed help. They needed some good quality AHL players and leadership. The people in Rochester want a winning team, not just a team of late round draft picks hoping to stay in hockey in some level. Rochester has a nice mix of talent at varying ages and stages of their playing careers now. The people that go to Amerks games have to see a bump in player level on par with that of the Sabres.

The article is called *Amerks and Sabres, Mirror images*. Article.. I submit, despite the current shortcomings, both rosters are better than their record...but it has to happen on the ice, in games. Amerks need a spark; a jumpstart. Who will provide it? Ditto the Sabres. Me. The people that go to Amerks games have to see a bump in player level on par with that of the Sabres. With the *nope*..

Separately: do we know whether Cal was in the truck the night of the Tim Horton's drive-right-thru? I'm not one to speculate.... :) Oz was incredible. Season 5 they went to video over film I think and got way too soap opera-ie. Shillinger has some of the best comic relief one liners in TV history. This website is a bit like Oz at times. I was in the ban bin when the Timmy Ho got plowed into but I couldn't help but draw comparison to Ryan O'Reilly in Oz who ended up in jail for running someone over on a DUI. At least nobody got hurt in real life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And we weren't 10 days ago? The ropes where thrown over the limbs for Ennis, Moulson, Legwand, and the one that needed to swing first and longest was is Gionta. Win a couple games, score more than 1 or 2 goals a game, even a shoot out loss. Wham...It's like we each where given a pacifier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
