Bonneau and Lord Fight Videos vs Crunch

6
April 11, 2010 - By Keith Wozniak

As expected on Saturday night there was a lot of hard hits and some fights during the game.  Jimmy Bonneau and Jon Mirasty have had some of the best fights all season and wrapped things up with another good one.  Anyone who follows AHL hockey knows how much a lot of people dislike Kevin Harvey so it was not surprising to see him in a fight, this time against Andrew Lord.

Lord should have no problems getting invited to a training camp somewhere next season.

The only video I don’t currently have is what happened with about eight seconds left in the second period.  Earlier in the period Carl Hudson hit Maksim Mayorov hard into the boards and Mayorov appeared to go to the bench injured.  As the period was coming to an end Mirasty went after Hudson, didn’t get anything going, he then went after Michael Caruso and then pulled Jordan Henry out of the mixup and tried to fight him.  As Mirasty punched Caruso the Amerks bench jumped up to his defense.  As Mirasty pulled Henry down the boards it was of no surprise that Harvey reached over the boards and appeared to get in a couple shots [...]Read More

Bonneau Suspended Two Games, MacIntyre Time Served

March 17, 2010 - By Keith Wozniak

As mentioned earlier on Tuesday through Facebook and Twitter, Jimmy Bonneau has been suspended an additional two games and Steve MacIntyre was just suspended for the one game and is eligible to return.

In case you missed the story, it’s all from altercations during the Amerks vs Crunch game on Saturday March 13, 2010 in Syracuse.  You can read the details of the night here.

Here’s the official announcement from the American Hockey League:

AHL announces suspensions
March 16, 2010

SPRINGFIELD, Mass. … The American Hockey League today announced that Rochester Americans left wing Jimmy Bonneau and Syracuse Crunch left wing Kevin Harvey have been suspended for two (2) games each as a result of their altercation at the conclusion of the game between the teams on Mar. 13.

In addition, both the Americans and the Crunch have been fined an undisclosed amount.

Bonneau will miss Rochester’s games Friday (Mar. 19) at Binghamton and Saturday (Mar. 20) at Wilkes-Barre/Scranton. Harvey will miss Syracuse’s games Wednesday (Mar. 17) vs. Manchester and Friday (Mar. 19) vs. Bridgeport.

Bonneau Suspended One Game, MacIntyre Indefinitely

March 15, 2010 - By Keith Wozniak

As expected, Jimmy Bonneau was suspended for one game and Steve MacIntyre is suspended pending further review.  It all started back on November 6th when Kevin Harvey said he finished his check which resulted in Luke Beaverson missing 26 games with a shoulder injury.

Bonneau was given an automatic one game suspension for his third game misconduct and he served that game on Sunday.  It was the same reason Jon Mirasty sat out the game for the Crunch against the Amerks on Saturday.

We should learn more early in the week how long Steve MacIntyre will be suspended for.  The league will need to review the play (if there is video of it), read the report from the referee and base the decision on other similar calls from the past.  The only call I’m familiar with was Kevin Harvey getting five games for his hit on Luke Beaverson.

I have to imagine they’ll also take a look at what actually happened to Kevin Harvey which was nothing.

“He was down like he was done for the year and all of a sudden ready to go again,” Benoit Groulx said on Sunday.

Apparently MacIntyre cross checked Henry in the neck [...]Read More

End of Game Video; Suspensions Possible for MacIntyre and Others

2
March 14, 2010 - By Keith Wozniak

There’s no other way to say it other than the Syracuse Crunch and the Rochester Americans seem to really dislike each other.  The Crunch and their fans hate Alexander Salak when he celebrates at the end of the game. Kevin Harvey is also a well known rat around the league that a lot of players dislike.

(video below at the bottom of post)

The Amerks dislike for Harvey goes back to earlier in the season when he laid out a dirty hit on Luke Beaverson which resulted in Beaverson being out injured for 26 games.  Steve MacIntyre apparently cross checked Harvey up high which resulted on Harvey laying on the ice for a couple minutes.  They didn’t show it on TV so I can’t really say what happened, but it’s easy to say that with a 5-1 lead at the time MacIntyre decided it was time to take action.

MacIntyre was assessed a penalty for Attempt/Deliberate injury (21.1), which according to the rule books is the following:

21.1 Match Penalty – A match penalty involves the suspension of a player for the balance of the game and the offender shall be ordered to the dressing room immediately.

A player incurring [...]Read More

Amerks Win 9th Game of the Season vs Crunch

1
March 14, 2010 - By Keith Wozniak

The Amerks had a 5-0 lead through 24 minutes of play and what seemed like a game that should go on and end as another big win against the Crunch but it almost turned into the opposite.  The Crunch battled back and scored two goals half way through the third period but it wasn’t enough.

Rochester has now won all nine games this season against the Crunch.  A big difference from the last few years when the Crunch were dominating the games.  As with most Amerks games this team gets you excited and on the edge of your seat and by the end of the game you’re biting your nails.

They found a way to score early big goals but keeping that up throughout the game was yet again an issue.

Jimmy Bonneau gave the Amerks an early 1-0 lead at 6:23 of the first period when he tipped in a shot/pass from the side boards to the front of the net from Jordan Henry.

It only 65 seconds for the Amerks to take a 2-0 lead thanks to Evgeny Dadonov for tipping in a pass from Daniel Steiner.  Chris Taylor had been chasing down the puck and he [...]Read More

Amerks Sign Bonneau, MacIntyre to Rochester, Harvey Suspended

November 10, 2009 - By Keith Wozniak

This morning I wrote about the Amerks making the right decision bringing Jimmy Bonneau back into the lineup and around the same time they must have been preparing his contract.  Bonneau had signed a 25 game PTO (Professional Tryout) back on October 15th and has worked hard ever since.  I had been waiting for Bonneau to get a comment for a story I’m working on but he was taking a while, so I decided to leave.  That will teach me for not being patient.

Bonneau has played in eight games for the Amerks and has scored one goal and tallied 54 penalty minutes.  He’s a tough fighter and also skates his heart out.  He gets more ice time than most enforcers which shows that the coach trusts him out on the ice.

The Florida Panthers also claimed Steve MacIntyre off of waivers today from the Edmonton Oilers.  MacIntyre had been signed in the summer of 2008 with the expectation he would play in Rochester.  He arrived at Amerks training camp, skated for a few minutes and then learned he was claimed by the Oilers.  Ever since then the Panthers have said that “Big Mac” was on [...]Read More

Chris Taylor Strikes Again, Amerks Win in OT

1
November 7, 2009 - By Keith Wozniak

The Amerks made some mistakes and learned a valuable lesson tonight but in the end got what mattered most, a win and two points in the standings.  The Syracuse Crunch made a strong comeback after being down 3-0 heading into the third period and then scoring the tying goal with 14 seconds left in regulation to force overtime.

Chris Taylor saved the game scoring the game winning goal in overtime to extend the Amerks winning streak to nine games.  The win tied the record from the 1999-2000 season, the last time the Amerks won nine games.

Alexander Salak showed tonight that he is human after all allowing three goals on 29 shots.  He played a great game, the Crunch just found a way to finally beat him.

Mike Duco scored his first goal of the season at 9:15 of the first period.  Jason Garrison fired a hard shot from the blue line and Duco was in front of the net to get the rebound and back hand it past Crunch goaltender Kevin LaLande.

The second goal was scored when LaLande had gone behind the net to play the puck when Duco came from one side and [...]Read More

Salak Earns his First Shutout in Amerks 7th Straight Win

1
October 26, 2009 - By Keith Wozniak

10/25/2009.. Alexander Salak earned his first professional shutout and led the Rochester Americans to a 3-0 win over the goon squad known as the Syracuse Crunch.

It was the Amerks seventh win in a row and also their fourth win in five nights and they’re not showing any signs of slowing down.

With the win the Amerks are now in sole possesion of first place in the American Hockey League with 17 points.

Graham Mink scored the game winning goal at 2:45 of the first period with assists to Mike Caruso and Chris Taylor.

Caruso retrieved his own shot that went wide of the net and around the boards.  He grabbed the puck at the blue line and dumped it back in right to Mink who was all alone to score.

“I don’t know where the defensemen went,” Mink  said.  “He was there and maybe he was jumping into the rush. Caruso made a great play and I had enough time for the goalie to go down and get it over him.”

Jimmy Bonneau and Jon Mirasty fought for the third time in less than 24 hours at the half way mark of the first period.  [...]Read More

Sunday Evening Amerks vs Crunch Fight Videos

October 26, 2009 - By Keith Wozniak

Jon MirastyA game between the Rochester Americans and Syracuse Crunch is going to be a physical game and will likely have a fight or two.  Sunday evening in Rochester that’s exactly what happened.

Jimmy Bonneau fought Jon Mirasty twice and looked beat up after the game.  He said the last time his face was like that was after he broke his orbital bone.

“My face is beat up and I’m tired,” Bonneau said.  “But my heads fine, my hands are fine, and my legs are fine so i’m ready to go.”

Bonneau is currently with the Amerks on a PTO but is working hard to show he deserves a contract.
