Gameday: Amerks at Binghamton Senators

October 30, 2009 - By

The Amerks are back in action tonight on the road against the Binghamton Senators.  These same two teams played nine days ago when the Amerks defeated the Senators by the final score of 4-2.

That game was also filled with a lot of action near goaltender Tyler Plante.  That’s also the same game that he hurt his knee when Cody Bass crashed the net and knocked him over.

One thing that should be guaranteed about the game tonight – those same antics will not happen again.  Alexander Salak is riding a three game winning streak, is undefeated this season, and will take matters into his own hands if needed.

The Amerks will be without Jeff Taffe, Kenndal McArdle, and Michal Repik who had been called up this week to join the Florida Panthers.  Even though we’re concerned about Taffe, McArdle, and Repik missing from the roster we can’t forget about Chris Taylor, Graham Mink, Mike York, and Jamie Johnson.  That’s more offensive talent than the Amerks had most of last season.

Shawn Matthias, David Brine, Evgeny Dadonov, and Victor Oreskovich will all be counted on to give everything they have and produce the results they’re [...]Read More

Protecting the Goalie; Gameday Amerks vs Rats

The Amerks travel to Albany tonight to try and revenge their only regular season loss of the season.  The Amerks played a lousy game on October and lost 6-1 to the River Rats.  I wrote after that game that the they were slow, they were rarely able to generate consistent offense, and they looked tired.

A lot has changed since that  game though.  The team has had more than a week of practice time together and have been on a four game winning streak since then.  The chemistry, the winning streak, the pride, and the hard work should be enough for the team to put together another win.  One thing the Amerks will need to do is not allow the River Rats to try and push them around again.  We should expect to see Jimmy Bonneau back in the lineup.
