I miss when going to an Amerks game was a thing for Rochesterians. It has never been the same after Buffalo left the Amerks for Portland, and the Panthers were the affiliate for Roch.

I’ve only been in WNY since ‘96. I wasn’t really in a position to attend games until ‘98ish so I don’t know the old days. I’ve had seasons for eight years now and I’ll keep renewing because I have a lot of fun. I know many other season holders and they’re nice people and with Mr. iT being in the biz that she is I know all sorts of staff. I sit same row opposite isle as Flag Guy. He’s a very sweet man. There’s also a man with certain disabilities that comes with his brother and sits in the adjacent section that I am highly entertained by. Sometimes I glance down his way and he is head forward, leaning way out just staring at me. I completely understand. I have a peculiar look. When he sees that I see him seeing me he puts his hand beside his face like a wall. “I wasn’t staring at you…” Make me and his brother both laugh every time. As for the old days? Meh. Super stoked for live hockey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super stoked for live hockey. Also super stoked to see games again. Growing up, my dad was a STH, so we went to a lot of games in the mid-80’s to mid-90’s. Those Amerks teams were always tough, competitive, skilled, hard-working, and usually had a solid G or 2. Attendance was usually fairly packed for games. We also went to a lot of their practices, and I got to meet all of the players frequently. The team used to throw me $20 to clean up the towels after games and practices, and the players would show me how they would curve their sticks. Rob Ray was always super nice, except for the time he almost decked my father at a Tux and Pux dinner. Hoffard hip checks, Andy Ristau fights, the magic of Jody Gage...those days were great.

dudacek Posted September 22, 2021 Report Share Posted September 22, 2021 Very interested in seeing Bryson on that list. He’s 23 waiver-eligible and still on his first contract - just like Wiesbach, Murray, and Ruotsalainen - yet didn’t play in the rookie camp. The only reason I could see for that is that he’s considered a Sabre, like Cozens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They recently renovated their old arena and added a secondary rink to it. Back when I coached youth hockey the locker room we used had mirrors and lights like those for a Broadway musical.

Amerks8796 Posted October 9, 2021 Report Share Posted October 9, 2021 I’m waffling on how I think this Amerks team will be. There’s some good young talent. I think they probably should’ve signed one addition veteran scorer. I think the offense might struggle, especially with Oglevie out, and Rousek out for who knows how long. I like the look of the defense with Prow, Schuldt and Davidson as the veterans. I’m not a fan UPL at all, hope he can take the next step. Dell is historically a very good AHL goalie. Overall I think they’ll be competitive, but probably struggle against a team like Syracuse, who seems stacked again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn’t catch it either, but he didn’t play in camp. Brandon Biro was another. At least two more forward cuts coming from Buffalo, probably out of Hayden Eakin, Peterka, Jonsson-Fjallby. And I’m going to guess Fitzgerald and Samuelsson on D So, when healthy, something like (not sure if I missed anyone, and not actual suggested lines) …?
