Plante Returns; Tuesday Morning Practice and Injury Updates

February 3, 2009 - By

Good morning from the spacious Blue Cross Arena for the Rochester Americans Tuesday morning practice, this place feels like the worlds best hockey arena after watching so many practices recently at the igloo known as ESL Centre.

The Amerks are back on the ice preparing for Wednesday nights game against the Rockford IceHogs.  Former Amerk Sean McMorrow is playing for the IceHogs, possible first period bout for Emmerson?  We’ll have to wait and see!

The groin injury suffered by Mike Brodeur does not appear to be too serious.  With any luck a miracle will happen and he’ll fully recover in time for the teams long road trip next week.  The team won’t be taking any chances in rushing his return to the ice.  The doctors as well as Brodeur will have to have full confidence that his groin is healed, it’s not an injury a goalie can return from and not be at 100%.

Tyler Plante has been called up from the Dayton Bombers for the second goaltender.  Whether that means he’ll be the backup to Beckford-Tseu, or Beckford-Tseu will be backing him up is unclear.  Our bet is on Tyler Plante making the start, it’ll be his opportunity to [...]Read More

Amerks Split Weekend In Grand Rapids

February 1, 2009 - By

The Amerks played two games this weekend against the hot and high scoring Grand Rapids Griffins.  The team won in a shootout on Friday night, and lost tonight 8-4.

Tonight’s issues weren’t scoring goals, but stopping them.  After the first period, the score was 1-1.  But, when the second period started, Mike Brodeur did not get back into the crease.  Once Chris Beckford-Tseu went into the net, he let in 7 goals in 31 shots.

Mike Brodeur suffered a groin injury and left the game after the first period.

It was thought we would have no scoring this weekend with most of our “big” scorers either hurt or M.I.A.  With Janis Sprukts playing for his country (as he should be), and injuries to Meyer (knee), McArdle (shoulder), and MicFlikier (foot), most of our scoring was down the drain.

But, when some are down, others rise to the occassion.  Tonight, the usually laughable Drew Larman picked up a goal to tie the game 2-2.  That was the Amerks’ second of three comebacks during the game.

New left wing, Ross Carlson had the third goal for the Amerks, once again tying tonight’s game 3-3.  Ross was also the only player to score in [...]Read More

Third Straight Loss, but Difference is Night and Day

January 25, 2009 - By

The Rochester Americans were shutout and lost their third straight game on Saturday night against the Albany River Rats in Albany as the league enters the All-Star break.  With the All-Star break typically considered the mid way point of the season, one thing is for certain about this Rochester Americans team – the difference is night and day compared to the way they started.

Getting back to last nights game, the deciding factor was the first period when the team just couldn’t get any offense generated.  The Rats took advantage of that and was able to score two goals.  The first one that deflected in wasn’t good, but that’s the type of bounces teams look for to be able to win games.  The second power play goal for the Rats was something they should have been able to stop from reaching the net.

“We played hard, very happy with the effort, very disappointing weekend in terms of the the outcome, thought we deserved better today and last night, but a bad game on thursday,” commented Benoit Groulx after the game.

The Amerks continue to struggle on the power play, going 0 for 5 on Saturday night.

Asked Groulx about the [...]Read More

Live from Times Union Center; Amerks vs Rats

January 24, 2009 - By

It’s the last game before the All-Star break for the Rochester Americans as they battle the Albany River Rats here at the Times Union Center in Albany, NY.  Updates will continue throughout the end of the game (just getting posted at the end of the 2nd period as we got the internet connection working)

Right when the puck dropped tonight Tanner Glass and Blanchard dropped the gloves to get in a nice long fight.  Decision to Blanchard he had some good zingers right in the beginning and everything else

Only 4 minutes into the game and the Amerks are already on their first penalty kill.  Neil Clark took an Albany playerinto the net and was called for roughing.  Mike Ryan scored his 23rd goal of the season making the score 1-0 already.  The Amerks aren’t looking bad…it was a great tip in by Ryan.

Second goal of the night will be credited to Chris Beckford-Tseu.  A routine shot on goal by Samson…Becks gets hit in the chest with it, it goes in the air, over his head and in slow motion crosses the line.  If he would have turned around for even a split second, he would have been able [...]Read More

10/12: Amerks Lose to Binghamton 3-1

October 13, 2008 - By

The Rochester Americans lost to the Binghamton Senators on Sunday night, final score was 3-1.  The Amerks opened the season with three games in three nights and lost all three.  They go on the road to play the Manitoba Moose next weekend, October 17 and 18th.

The Amerks lone goal was scored when Tanner Glass tipped in a shot from the point by Peter Aston at 15:01 of the third period.

The much anticipated Shawn Matthias was again not very visible.  Expectations are high on him so the less he produces the more fans are going to wonder.  One factor in tonights game could have been that we were often on the penalty kill or power play, a role he may not be intended for.

Chris Beckford-Tseu gets another loss in his column, but he played well.  The first two Binghamton goals were scored after some superb passing on a power play, and the third by bad defensive coverage.  He needs to be given time before anyone gets ready to throw in the towel on him.  More than anything our young defense needs some work to be able to help him out.

It was another game (and familiar [...]Read More

Amerks Lose Home Opener to Crunch

October 11, 2008 - By

It may sound like a familiar story, the Rochester Americans lose to the Syracuse Crunch, but what sets this one apart from last season is that the team put in a solid effort.  The Crunch had a few lucky bounces, and the Amerks appeared to have scored a goal but the light never went on.  The final score was 4-3.

Maybe someone can help out on that one.  I believe it was in the second period, a shot appeared to have went into the net and bounced right back out.  The goal light did not go on, and very few people seemed to have noticed.

The team put in a solid effort, never gave up.  There was one point in the second period where it seemed like the game was going south, but they picked up the slack.  The guys did well against a more talented and faster Crunch.  The team is still new (7 rookies, 2 second year players among 18 players), once they get a few games together and have more game play experience we’ll hope for better results.

It was impressive seeing Benoit Groulx and Jason Cipolla working hard behind the bench.  Benoit was constantly [...]Read More
