You think these guys want to clean then pack up 25 or so sets of gear each night and move it all to a different barn just so they can do THAT all again the next night? Pretty sure those guys would be perfectly fine with the 1st 3 games being in 1 barn and the other 2 if necessary moving to the other city. They do it all year. It’s their job. Edit: And these games are Friday/Sunday/Thursday/saturday/friday. That’s not doing it all again the next night. These game formats exist solely because travel is an issue. They would go 1-1-1 if it wasn’t. Rochester/syracuse is about as close to that as you can get. Edited Monday at 04:20 PM by shrader Quote

For the end of game, Rosén's ENG was very good. The wheels to get there, then the nonchalant sharp-angle backhand to show off his first-round hands. The defender had to go into overdrive and still lost the angle and then had to think Rosén would carry on into the corner and circle to look for a trailer -- then the backhand, and the defender was left scratching his head that he should've dove. Rosén's hustle put the Crunch in an impossible spot. Helenius was awesome after the final whistle. He'll turn 19 in a couple weeks. Quote
dudacek Posted Monday at 05:54 PM Report Posted Monday at 05:54 PM Thought of @LGR4GM watching Konsta. In no way shape or form is that kid’s game “small”. Looks like he’s going to have that perfect fire hydrant hockey build and there’s no fear in his game at all. 4 1 Quote

They might want to dress Jagger Joshua next game to settle some scores. I didn't realize they scratched Brannstrom. Wild to be scratching an NHL caliber player in the AHL... but I suppose I can't argue with the results Quote

Now that he’s likely in the protocol (plus no word how close Prow is to returning), I believe he will be the next man up. Quote

Rochester/syracuse is about as close to that as you can get. It IS their job. But have you never been ticked when you've had to do something at your day job (or your parenting job) a few extra times for something that easily didn't need to happen? Game ends Friday night. Pack everything thing up Friday night. Unload everything Saturday in time for "day off" practice. Get everything game ready Saturday night for afternoon Sunday game. Pack everything up Sunday night. Lather, rinse, repeat. No reason for them to have to pack and unpack everything a few extra times other than "Shrader thought it would be really cool." Quote

Porous Five Hole Posted Tuesday at 06:09 PM Report Posted Tuesday at 06:09 PM During today's media availability, head coach Michael Leone provided an update on defenseman Vsevolod Komarov. "He is doing better but in concussion protocol and will miss some time." The Amerks recalled forward Olivier Nadeau along with defensemen Peter Tischke and Noah Laaouan from the Jacksonville. Laaouan is unavailable due to injury. 1 Quote

inkman Posted 18 hours ago Report Posted 18 hours ago Definitely concerned about the Cruch taking liberties with our heavy skill laden lineup. Disappointed in Brett Murray this series. He has not been throwing the body around, not that it was expected but when your team is a high skill little braun lineup, as a large man you need to step up. Shameful to be honest. Quote
