DarthEbriate Posted March 30, 2022 Report Share Posted March 30, 2022 10 hours ago, K-9 said: No Bryson, but they assigned Samuelsson, Fitz, and Krebs to the Amerks last week so they’d be eligible for an AHL playoff run. I'm not worried about the kids in the playoffs yet, my concern is that they make it to the playoffs in the first place. Both Sabres and Amerks seasons are scheduled to end on 4/29 and the Sabres aren't sending anyone down until Power signs (if then, depending on injuries). Right now, the Amerks are in 6th place in their division based on winning percentage and every team in front of them has games-in-hand. This season the top 5 in the North make it, with the bottom two getting a wildcard round of their own. The Alt pickup is a good thing for the chase for that 4th/5th spot. (Granted: so is getting Malone, MacInnis, and Quinn healthy and getting Jankowski through waivers.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really surprised to see them so far back even tho they have a winning record...seems like their entire division has a winning record. They score a lot of goals but they have given up the second most in the AHL...their goaltending has been atrocious it seems. 1 hour ago, LGR4GM said: Damn...Quinn is really freaking good... 48 points in 32 games... Can't wait til he is up here for good next year along with Peterka 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve watched a ton of their games and despite his defense being thinned by call ups and injuries during the course of the season resulting in numerous shots and scoring chances against him, UPL has crapped the bed in his own right much of the time. Good goalies need to make the big, difficult save with regularity and imo UPL is not up to the task. He just may not be a very good goalie. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s why he’s looked better with NHL dmen in front of him rather than the hot mess The Amerks have iced due to injuries and callous. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's crazy because when he was playing with the Sabres he was excellent most nights. Perhaps this is a case where he is better in the NHL than the AHL? Wouldn't be the first time a goalie pulled that off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PromoTheRobot Posted April 1, 2022 Report Share Posted April 1, 2022 The Amerks are barely in a playoff spot. Just .003% lead over Belleville.

Why do they have the same GR? Are teams not playing the same # of total games? Edited April 1, 2022 by carpandean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
