The team is working in smaller groups today. Right now half the team is sitting on the bench while the other half practices puck movement. It is very informative. They are really getting some good passing and scoring going on. Kenndal McArdle, once again, can stick the puck anywhere he wants to in the net. …

The Florida Panthers have signed defensemen Jassen Cullimore to a one year deal. He’ll be taking the spot of Cory Murphy who is going to be out for a while with a shoulder injury. Considering the way our Amerks defense has played so far this season, we can’t afford to lose our top defensemen Jason …

I was hoping to see a really tough practice today after Saturday and Sunday’s games (and even Friday’s, it wasn’t a beautiful win). And that is exactly what I am seeing. Coach Benoit is not messing around today…not that he ever messes around.

Jason Garrison flew to St Louis where he played with the Florida Panthers on Saturday night, and is flying back on Sunday to rejoin the Amerks in Hershey when they play the Bears. If the Panthers injury problems continue he could be well on his way to accumulating the most frequent flyer miles this season.
The Rochester Americans lost tonight to the Syracuse Crunch in a sad 6-1 final score. This, of course, is better than last year on the Crunch’s “Pink Out” night when the Amerks were creamed 9-2. Emmerson made his AHL debut tonight and did a good job. But, more on that later. The first period started …
