Norcal Posted April 10, 2021 Report Share Posted April 10, 2021 He may never be more than a Rochester player but Franco skates hard and plays a North South game. Good for him on his first goal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudacek Posted April 10, 2021 Report Share Posted April 10, 2021 Every-game Amerk watchers, am I right to be excited about my boy, big Mattias? First-pair minutes, all-situations as a rookie? Physically ready, no signs of his alleged speed issues, and 9 points in 16 games to boot? We going to see this guy in Buffalo before the year's over?

I think you are right to be excited. No situation is too big for him. He finds himself on the right side of most puck battles, has good positioning and an active stick in all zones. He will hit and can take one. Pretty much nothing not to like but I don't know if he will come up this year. He could probably hold his own but it might be better for him to stay down and be better than most of the opposition for now. Love the kid! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flashsabre Posted April 10, 2021 Report Share Posted April 10, 2021 I’m out of the loop, are the AHL doing a regular playoffs with these divisions or what is the plan? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarthEbriate Posted April 10, 2021 Report Share Posted April 10, 2021 Fun note on today's game: The Amerks played yesterday. The Monsters played last Saturday. It should be a classic examination of too-long-of-a-layoff vs. second of a back-to-back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dudacek Posted April 11, 2021 Report Share Posted April 11, 2021 (edited) Just for some perspective here, Fogarty, Elie and Dalton Smith are the only AHL vets in the lineup. Pekar, Quinn, Samuelsson, UPL and Laaksonen are rookies, Murray and Fitzgerald are 2nd year guys. R2, Asplund, Bryson, Oglevie, Davidson, Tokarski, Borgen, Smith and Dea are all unavailable and the rest are guys you never heard of.
