Amerks Lose 5th Straight; Familiar Story Lines

October 19, 2008 - By

The Rochester Americans lost two straight games this weekend against the Manitoba Moose and are now the only winless team in the American Hockey League.  It’s only five games into the season, morale amongst fans has already dropped, and we’re repeating the same story lines as last season.  It wasn’t supposed to be this way.

The Moose won on Saturday night 4-1, Tanner Glass scored the Amerks only goal at 10:40 of the first period.  It was assisted by Kenndal McArdle and Luke Beaverson.  It was the second goal of the season for Glass.  Chris Beckford-Tseu stopped 37 of 41 shots.

The previous night the Moose won 3-1, David Brine scored the Amerks only goal that night at 7:07 of the third.  It was assisted by Franklin MacDonald and Jason Garrison.  Tyler Plante stopped 28 of 30 shots.

The game on Friday night was tied 1-1 until the Amerks tried to clear it from deep within their own zone and Raymond Sawada kept the puck from crossing the blue line and two passes later Cullen slipped the puck under a diving Tyler Plante for the goal.

A bad mistake late in a game that was tied.  Like I said, [...]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 Opening Night Festivities

October 10, 2008 - By

The start of the 2008/09 Rochester Americans season is finally upon us!!  The organization has new ownership, a new sole affiliation, new players, new fans, new web site.. let’s play some hockey.  Here’s some additional notes for opening night, along with events at the arena.

When asked about Fridays opener after practice on Thursday morning, head coach Benoit Groulx commented, “Yes, I’m very excited.  We have a good group.  The kids are working really hard.  We’ll see tomorrow if it’s paying off.”

Keaton Ellerby has an “upper body injury,” but whatever that injury may be, it doesn’t impact his skating one bit.  After practice on Thursday morning he was doing sprints for about 15-20 minutes with Cipolla.  On the way off the ice Keaton jokingly commented to a 4yr old watching, “don’t play hockey, never play hockey.”  We still think Cipolla could suit up for the team if needed.  He replied, “yea, behind the bench.”

As of Thursday afternoon Shawn Matthias was on his way to Rochester to join the team.  Matthias made headlines last season when the Panthers called him up from juniors and he had an immediate impact on the team.  He should be exciting to [...]Read More

Loss in San Antonio; Two Player Moves

March 9, 2008 - By

Stefan Meyer and Clarke MacArthur scored goals for the Amerks on Friday night in San Antonio to take a 2-0 lead in the game, but the Rampage came back with three unanswered goals to win the game.

Game Reports: Amerks.comD&C

The Rochester Americans sent center Adam Taylor to the ECHL’s Florida Everblades and released winger Justin Aikins from his tryout contract.

The return of left winger Clarke MacArthur from the Buffalo Sabres and left winger Tanner Glass from the Florida Panthers gave the Amerks too many forwards, so the reassignments were made.

The Amerks play again on Sunday afternoon against the Houston Aeros, game time is 5:05pm EST.  You can listen live on Hot Talk 1280 WHTK or watch on B2 Networks.

Full Roster Tonight; Mancari to All-Star Game

January 25, 2008 - By

After being short on players due to illness over the past week and a half, the Amerks will have a full roster tonight as they see the return of Clarke MacArthur, Patrick Kaleta, Tanner Glass, and Anthony Stewart.

Mark Mancari has been added to the AHL All-Star game this weekend to represent the Amerks and Team Canada. MacArthur was originally selected to the All-Star game but will be rejoining the Sabres on Monday which is why Mancari was picked.

It’s a surprising move by the Sabres to actually send MacArthur to the Amerks for just two games, he has proven his worth for the Sabres.  Hopefully these players will put as much effort into playing for a last place team in the AHL as they have in the NHL trying to prove there worth up there.  If that happens, it isn’t too far fetched to have a two game winning streak after this weekend.

Mancari, a third-year right winger, has 13 goals, 22 assists and 35 points in 47 games.

MacArthur has scored 5 goals, 4 assists and 9 points in 21 games with the Sabres. He was the Amerks leading scorer before his recall (11-19-30 in 26 AHL games).
