inkman Posted April 22, 2022 Report Share Posted April 22, 2022 The Amerks, clinging to playoff hopes, take on the Comets. Every game at this point is a must win. Will need some help form other teams but the Amerks need to take care of their business. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawerchuk Posted April 22, 2022 Report Share Posted April 22, 2022 Sorry if this has already been asked, but is Josh Bloom available to play tonight or can he not? I forget all the OHL/AHL rules. Go AMERKS!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msw2112 Posted April 22, 2022 Report Share Posted April 22, 2022 (edited) So does the OP's comment mean that even if the Amerks win out, they still need help elsewhere to make the playoffs? I looked at the AHL standings and it looks like they currently hold the final playoff spot in their division, but other teams have games in hand. I don't know how the AHL playoff system works, but IT APPEARS that every team makes it EXCEPT FOR the last 2 teams in each division. Beacuse all of the divisions don't have the same number of teams, more teams make it in some divisions than others - you simply need to NOT be one of last two teams in the division. I think a playoff run in Rochester would make a big difference in the development of many of the Sabres' young players, particularly for UPL in net, so I am very interested in them making the playoffs.

It's complicated because its point percentage, not points; teams are playing different amounts of games this year. That said, they are in now (barely), so if they win out I doubt they can be knocked out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the explanation - the AHL website is not overly informative on this - at least it wasn't obvious and I didn't take the time to dig.

thewookie1 Posted April 22, 2022 Report Share Posted April 22, 2022 Amerks control their destiny, winning out clinches a spot. Losses will add needs to outside help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Utah Posted April 22, 2022 Report Share Posted April 22, 2022 Bloom can play but based on the fact Amerks are in a tight playoff race I highly doubt they throw him in. He has some offensive flair and is great at killing penalties but doubt we see him 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sabremike Posted April 23, 2022 Report Share Posted April 23, 2022 How does a team fighting for it's playoff life constantly come out flat as a pancake and get comically outshot in the first period of virtually every game?

Ogre Posted April 23, 2022 Report Share Posted April 23, 2022 Appert is a joke. Don’t give me the BS excuse about roster either. Taylor would have pushed this team into the playoffs. I’ve renewed my seasons regardless of making the playoffs but JFC, Appert is no developer of talent. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
