Sorry, I thought the LOL would show my sarcasm. With people calling for HCPH's head and replacing him with Taylor because Housley didn't have them prepared for the 1st game, I thought it was interesting that the Amerks also seemed "unprepared" and lost their 1st game. That being said....I'm all in on these guys making the big club, especially Pilut (love his game).

inkman Posted October 7, 2018 Report Share Posted October 7, 2018 So our new concession arrangement has removed 20 oz cups from the arena. Now only 16 oz at $8.50 a pop. I was able to get a 20 oz can of Genny for 9 bucks but certainly not my first or second choice. Also wasn't expecting the shakedown by security at the gate but I suppose it's necessary. They've made a barely tolerable arena experience slightly worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inkman Posted October 7, 2018 Report Share Posted October 7, 2018 (edited) As far as the on ice product, Nylander looks good. No one else stood out to me. Goaltending and defense need some work. I saw a first last night. Zack Redmond lost the puck in his skates at the point on the PP. The whole arena was screaming at him to no avail. The Checker covering him pokes the puck out of his skates leading to a shorty. Thankfully I was with my family otherwise I would have shouted some regrettable stuff.

It wasn't that it was too loud really, it's that the speakers were so bad that the sound delivery wasn't efficient and clean. So there were some very off putting frequencies blasting around the arena. KBC has far better audio equipment, so it's loud but it doesn't kill your ears.

Not sure about any pain producing sounds but with my deafness and the sound I can't have a conversation in the arena unless there is zero noise, which is usually only during play. ?

inkman Posted October 11, 2018 Report Share Posted October 11, 2018 (edited) Amerks win 6-3. Redmond and Olafsson with a goal and two helpers each. CJ Smith, Pilut, O'Regan and Crisco with one goal and assist each. Nylander and Dougherty with helpers. https://www.syracuse.com/crunch/index.ssf/2018/10/syracuse_crunch_loses_at_rochester.html Edited October 11, 2018 by inkman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Color me confused. They definitely had beer everywhere Saturday night. Not sure what happened Friday. The Pegulas need to make sure it's getting addressed. To take over your home town team (Kim) and completely drop the bal...er...puck, is inexcusable. I was super excited when the Pegulas bought the Sabres and Amerks. I had season tickets for the first two years. It's stuff like this that remind me why I shouldn't get seasons. The arena experience should be a draw not a repellent.

He's probably the 4th best forward on the team behind Olafsson, Nylander and CJ Smith. I guess it's nice to have improved depth. Justin Bailey has been abysmal. A team worst -3 with no points.

He’s always has attitude issues. He was a healthy scratch in game 2 because he was so awful in the opener. He needs to get moved out of the organization for a better forward.

WildCard Posted October 12, 2018 Report Share Posted October 12, 2018 Keep watching the Sabres and thinking about how many pieces we need, then I realize we still have Asplund, Oloffson, Guhle, and Nylander down in Rochester right now. Not to mention three 1st round draft picks in 2019 Keep up the good work, Botterill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Botterill made sure to thank GMTM and his staff for getting some good prospects last year during his presser about Borgen Signing. CJ Smith should be the first call up for the forwards 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
