Stuart Up; Brennan In; Devils Postgame; Phantoms Gameday

Stuart Up; Brennan In; Devils Postgame; Phantoms Gameday

A handful of updates on the Rochester Americans on this sunny but cold Saturday afternoon.  The Amerks had their first shutout win of the season on Friday night against the Albany Devils winning 3-0.  They left last night after the game to head to Glens Falls where they’re playing the Adirondack Phantoms tonight at 7pm.

The biggest bits of news is that Colin Stuart was called up after the game last night due to Jochen Hecht being injured in Friday’s Sabres game.  Corey Tropp was also injured and now has a concussion so who knows when he’ll be healthy and sent back to Rochester.

TJ Brennan sent out a tweet saying that he feels well and will be back in the lineup for the Amerks tonight.  Ron Rolston had said that he didn’t expect him back this weekend but Brennan participated in full practice on Friday and appeared ready and apparently he is.  Have to love the power of Twitter for information being spread!

Nylander Leads Amerks to a 5-2 Win Over the Phantoms

Nylander Leads Amerks to a 5-2 Win Over the Phantoms

Ahh it’s been a while.. after a few weeks absent from the rink I was finally able to make it to an Amerks game and was treated to a nice 5-2 win over the Adirondack Phantoms.  Michael Nylander led the way with two goals and two assists in the game.

Even though I missed the home opener, this was the first game of the season for myself so it was great to see some hockey again, get a cold Genny Light from the Blue Zone and watch the kids play knee hockey behind section 127.

Michael Duco scored first at 17:07 of the first period just after a power play opportunity ended.  A lot of people in the crowd were yelling the typical “shoooooot it” but patience paid off when Duco shot in a rebound for his second goal of the season.  There weren’t that many chances for a shot but the puck possession paid off.

Interesting little scrap early in the second period when Matt Clackson (brother of Amerks forward Chris Clackson) cross checked Triston Grant to the ice in front of the Phantoms net.  Referee Terry Koharski had his arm raised to make the call on Clackson before [...]Read More

Amerks Opened March with 5-2 Win Over Phantoms

March 6, 2010 - By

The Amerks opened the month of March with a 5-2 road win over the Phantoms, four of those goals were scored in the third period.  David Laliberte tied the game 2-2 at 9:55 of the third period off of a horrible defensive zone giveaway by Rory Fitzpatrick.  The most impressive part of the game was that after that goal was scored to tie it up the team did not appear to lose confidence but instead took control and scored three more goals to win the game.

Evgeny Dadonov and Michal Repik each scored two goals and Chris Taylor had three assists.

I did not have time to write a complete postgame report so the press release about the game is below.

AMERKS OPEN MARCH WITH 5-2 WIN OVER PHANTOMS

(Rochester, NY)… Michal Repik and Evgeny Dadonov each scored two goals and added an assist as the Rochester Americans skated past the Adirondack Phantoms for a 5-2 win tonight at the Glens Falls Civic Center. With the win, Rochester (37-26-2-0, 72 points) has now won two straight and four of its last five to remain in a second-place tie in the North Division with [...]Read More

Lousy Special Teams Leads Amerks to 3-1 Loss

February 10, 2010 - By

The Amerks played another what looked like uninspired game on Wednesday night in their 3-1 loss to the Adirondack Phantoms.  Something needs to change.  Obviously Benoit Groulxs talk on the ice at practice on Tuesday had no effect on the team.  The penalty kill was horrible.  The power play was horrible.  The passing was weak.  There was no real offensive threat.

The Phantoms were 2/4 on their power play and the Amerks went 0/3.  It’s impressive watching other teams on a penalty kill box out the Rochester Americans and don’t give them anything to work with.  On the other end of the ice the penalty kill is all over the place.

If the players can’t motivate themselves and the coach can’t seem to motivate the players, who’s job is it?  If the players and coaches don’t have an answer about the reason for the poor play than who does?  One persons name that is being talked about around town is Ted Nolan.  Everyone knows his experience.  Is that really his place?  No idea, but nothing else is working so what could it really hurt if he spoke up?

Michal Repik was the lone goal scorer for [...]Read More

Gameday: Amerks at Adirondack Phantoms 7pm

February 10, 2010 - By

There’s less than 30 games remaining in the regular season for most of the teams in the American Hockey League and the push for the playoffs is really going to start picking up.  The Rochester Americans travel to Glens Falls to take on the Adirondack Phantoms tonight at 7pm EST for the third meeting of the season between these two teams.  The last time Rochester faced an Adirondack-based AHL team (on the road)  was during the 1998-99 season against the Adirondack Red Wings before the team ceased operations

The Amerks have won both games this season (3-1 on Jan 24th and 2-1 on Jan 31st) against the Phantoms.  Neither game was one where either team ran away with the game to a clear win so this should be a competitive game.

The Amerks had what seemed like a good practice on Tuesday and then traveled to Glens Falls so they could have another gameday skate this morning.  Travel and practice time should not be an issue, this team should be ready to play a solid game.

Rochester will be without Victor Oreskovich and Brady Calla in the lineup.  Oreskovich was called up to the [...]Read More

Gameday: 5pm Start for Amerks at Home vs Phantoms

January 31, 2010 - By

The Adirondack Phantoms return to Rochester for the second Sunday in a row to face off against the Rochester Americans.  Last week Michal Repik and Jamie Johnson led the Amerks to a 3-1 win over the Phantoms.

Both teams are 1-1 so far this weekend.  The Amerks lost on Friday to the Rats but rebounded to win over the Marlies on Saturday.  The Phantoms defeated the Senators on Friday and then lost Saturday to the Norfolk Admirals.

A win for Rochester on Sunday and the Amerks would equal their win total from last season with 33 games still remaining on the schedule.  Sometimes it’s tough to remember how much the team has improved over the past two dismal seasons.

The Amerks are 5-2 in their last seven games and 6-4 in the last ten.

Jamie Johnson is one goal away from becoming the Amerks first 20 goal scorer for the season.  The past few seasons it took nearly 80 games to get one 20 goal scorer.

Tyler Plante got the shutout in Toronto on Saturday, will be interesting to see if he earned a second straight start or if Salak goes back in net on [...]Read More

Rats Win Big Against the Amerks; Only the Third Game

October 11, 2009 - By

The easiest thing to do is just say it, the Amerks were destroyed in Albany on Saturday night.  They were slow, they were rarely able to generate consistent offense, and they looked tired.  There’s no excuses.

The team should have been going off the momentum of Friday nights win and carried into Saturday.  Instead it looked like they left the momentum in the locker room on Friday night and forgot to bring it to Albany.

The final score was 6-1, two goals by Albany were scored on the power play and one was scored short handed.  The Amerks were assessed a total of 30 minutes in penalties and gave the opposition eight power play opportunities for the second time in as many nights.

Tyler Plante was pulled from net five minutes into the second period after the Rats went up 3-0 in the game, he stopped 10 of 13 shots.  Alexander Salak played in his first game as an Amerk and stopped 12 of 15 shots faced.

The goalies allowed six goals but they were not to blame for this game.

Mike York had a few decent scoring opportunities but without any help on his line [...]Read More

Amerks Jersey Ranked 2nd by The Hockey News

August 13, 2009 - By

The Hockey News ranked jerseys last year based on the teams logo, this year they decided to go by patches, striping, and piping to rank the jerseys.  I also need to mention colors as well.

The Amerks were ranked second for a “Classic crest with a clean look to it.”  I’m not quite sure how the Milwaukee Admirals got the top spot.  In a typically boring month for hockey news this is what we get.

Take the time to visit The Hockey News web site to vote for the Rochester Americans jersey as the best in the AHL – http://thehockeynews.com/pages/puck_poll.php

Two teams missing are the Texas Stars and Abbotsford Heat because the teams have not officially launched their jerseys.  To view what was actually said about each jersey click here – http://www.thehockeynews.com/articles/27493-.html.

Here’s the straight rankings:

1. Milwaukee Admirals
2. Rochester Americans
3. San Antonio Rampage
4. Springfield Falcons
5. Manchester Monarchs
6. Worcester Sharks
7. Norfolk Admirals
8. Bridgeport Sound Tigers
9. Peoria Rivermen
10. Chicago Wolves
11. Manitoba Moose
12. Houston Aeros
13. Hershey Bears
14. Toronto Marlies
