Cory Schneider Leads Moose to Win over Amerks

February 20, 2010 - By

The last time the Rochester Americans won a home game on a Friday night was November 27th, with the loss to the Manitoba Moose on Friday they have since lost eight straight Friday night home games.  That game they won in November was the game that they were up 4-0 and the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins scored three in the third to make it a close game.

The difference maker in the game was Moose goaltender Cory Schneider who made 32 saves and only allowed three goals.  After the game Schneider said, “I knew they were going to come hard, my whole goal tonight was to come in here and steal a game and give my team a chance to win.”

Jeff Taffe talked about Schneider and goal tending saying, “He’s a great goaltender, as well as we played you’ve got to give him a lot of credit.  Good goaltenders win games like that.  We were the benefactor I think early in the year.  Our goalies were stealing games every night and just kind of hit a little rut right now.”

“He’s a confidence builder for everybody, he loves that too.  He loves when the game gets tight [...]Read More

The Rochester Americans wrapped up their fourth game of a season long six game road trip by losing to the Manitoba Moose by the final score of 2-1.  With the loss the Amerks dropped to 18-4-1-0 for the season and 2-2-0-0 on the road trip.  That’s right, only their 4th loss out of 23 games.  This was the first time the Amerks have lost when they’ve scored the first goal of the game.

It only took Graham Mink a total of 26 seconds to score the only goal for the Amerks.  Mink took the puck towards the net and was able to just barely get his stick on the puck and slid it through the legs of Cory Schneider.

This was Ryan Mior’s first regular season professional game and he played well, he certainly kept the Amerks in the game.  Mior made 22 saves in the game, including a penalty shot by Dan Sexton.  Sexton went with a back hand shot but Mior was able to get a small piece of the puck and deflected it high over the net.

Mior and Amerks coach Benoit Groulx know each other [...]Read More

Cory Schneider Defeats Amerks in Shootout

March 19, 2009 - By

The Rochester Americans lost to the Mantioba Moose on Wednesday night in a shootout and have extended their winless streak to seven games.  It wasn’t a bad game by any means.  The officiating was questionable, but not the deciding factor.  Mike Keane won the game in the seventh round of the shootout beating Amerks goaltender Mike Brodeur.

The Manitoba Moose have the best record in the American Hockey League.  The Rochester Americans are second worst in the league.  Games like this make you question whether the other team was having a bad night, or if the Amerks really do have the potential to be a contender next season.

Jason Krog opened the scoring at 7:15 of the first period with a power play goal.  Krog let a fast shot go that beat Plante top corner stick side.  Keaton Ellerby had been sent to the penalty box 1:15 earlier for closing his hand on the puck.  Tyler Plante had lost his stick and with the puck in front of the net Ellerby closed his hand over it.  It was a great shot by Krog and proved why he’s ranked 5th in the league in points (23 G, 43 A) and considered [...]Read More

Live From the AHL All-Star Game; Amerks Brodeur Starting

January 26, 2009 - By

It’s night number two of the AHL All-Star Classic event and time for the actual game.  Mike Brodeur of the Rochester Americans is getting the start in goal for Team Canada.  Brian Elliott of the Binghamton Senators was slated to get the start but when the Ottawa Senators called him up the starting position shifted to Brodeur.

Mike Brodeur said, “someone must have just flipped a coin or something,” regarding him getting the starting job.  Mike is very humble and unsure of himself in the role that he has earned.  The most exciting part of being the starter for Brodeur isn’t about the honor that goes with it, but rather not having to sit on the bench for two hours prior to being able to play.

The game is being broadcast to over 100 million people, and tonight the world gets to see the player that has turned the season around for the Rochester Americans.  All-Star games are all about offense, so he’s going to be put to the test early.  When we talked about the lack of defense and him really being put to the test some of the defensemen in the locker room started laughing.

The theme of [...]Read More
