Video of Whitmore’s Four Goal Game in Amerks 5-3 Win

Video of Whitmore’s Four Goal Game in Amerks 5-3 Win

On Saturday night Derek Whitmore scored the first hat trick by an Amerk on home ice since Jamie Johnson during the 2009/10 season and was also the first Rochester American since Jason Pominville in 2005 to score four goals in a game.  Pominville went on to score a fifth in that game.  The Amerks went on to win the game 5-3 thanks to the outstanding effort by Whitmore to put four goals on the board.

The video highlights recorded off of the scoreboard speak for themselves.  Whitmore hustled for the chance to score every goal jumping over a goalie, falling to the ice, hunting for a rebound and out skating defenders.  He had scored his first two goals during the first minute and 53 seconds of the game to give the Amerks an early 2-0 lead.

The Bulldogs battled back and tied the game 3-3 (notice the angry door slam by Colin Stuart) but Whitmore eventually scored the game winner and fifth goal for insurance.  With all of the recent players called up to the Buffalo Sabres this was a great display by Whitmore who’s still trying to get the chance to play in his first regular season NHL game.

Joe Finley vs Zack Fitzgerald Fight Video

Joe Finley vs Zack Fitzgerald Fight Video

Halfway through the Rochester Americans 5-3 win over the Hamilton Bulldogs on Saturday night we saw this short fight below between Joe Finley and Zack Fitzgerald of the Hamilton Bulldogs.  Fitzgerald partially hit Marcus Foligno with a hip check near center ice and Finley immediately stepped in to drop the gloves with Fitzgerald.  If Finley hadn’t been there we likely would’ve seen Foligno drop the gloves as he looked for an altercation when he got up.

It was a short fight with Fitzgerald getting a nice shot in on Finley.  As each game passes Finley is working closer and closer to deserving an NHL contract if there’s more injuries with the Buffalo Sabres defense.

Zack Fitzgerald was also involved in this fight below during the 2009/2010 season when he played for the Albany River Rats and squared off against Steve MacIntyre in an Amerks uniform.

As always, enjoy and share!

Video of Conboy’s Hit on Turnbull and Fight vs Finley

Video of Conboy’s Hit on Turnbull and Fight vs Finley

Late in the second period Tim Conboy of the Binghamton Senators dropped Travis Turnbull of the Rochester Americans with a hit to the head that sent Turnbull to the ice and out of the game.  Moments after the hit Joe Finley challenged Conboy and the two shared a couple of punches.  Not sure why Finley took off skating backwards instead of just going at it where they were.

Turnbull slowly went off the ice and the game was over for him at that point.  He went flying down to the ice, his helmet went in the air and his gloves were knocked off.

Earlier in the game towards the end of the first period they each received unsportsmanlike penalties for something but I didn’t see what happend.  Did anyone see it?  They didn’t appear to get along and Conboy got the hit in late in the game.

Conboy and Finley each received a five minute penalty for fighting and Conboy received a 10 minute match penalty for a “check to the head.”  Here’s what the AHL rule book says about the call:

48.5 Match Penalty – The Referee, at his discretion, may assess a match penalty if, in his judgment, [...]Read More

Video of Corey Tropp’s Hit on Landon Ferraro

Video of Corey Tropp’s Hit on Landon Ferraro

It’s time for everyone to guess the legality of this hit that the Rochester Americans Corey Tropp delivered to Landon Ferraro of the Grand Rapids Griffins.  Mitch Callahan of the Griffins went down the ice on a breakaway and as the play followed behind him you’ll see Tropp and Ferraro meet in front of the goaltender.  Tropp was given an interference penalty and Ferraro appeared to be knocked out.  Ferraro tried to get up onto his skates a few times before staying down and eventually being helped off of the ice.

Was it simply interference, they both met at the same time?  Did Tropp deliver a blind side hit and lead with his shoulder to the head? Questions that the American Hockey League will likely answer come Monday or Tuesday.

Watch and determine for yourself (far away scoreboard video is the best I can do, I don’t have a dedicated camera man covering the whole game, yet):

Eric Selleck and James DeLory Square off in Training Camp

Eric Selleck and James DeLory Square off in Training Camp

The first day of training camp usually isn’t all that exciting as players and coaches are just going through some drills, getting to know each other and getting their legs stretched.  James DeLory and Eric Selleck made it interesting though when about half way through they dropped their gloves and helmets to try and trade a few punches by the visitors bench.  As you can see in the quick video they squared off but didn’t get far before Amerks head coach Chuck Weber and assistant coach Jason Cipolla stepped in to break them up.

Chuck Weber was pretty vocal on the ice afterwards telling DeLory that he told them no fighting.  After practice Weber said that DeLory had surgery over the summer (didn’t say what kind of surgery) and didn’t want him getting into any fights.  He said that he knows guys are itching to go but he didn’t want it to happen.  Weber also commented that DeLory apologized after practice… and everyone lives happily ever after.

This will be DeLory’s third training camp with the Amerks and is likely looking to make his name known and try to move up a level in professional hockey.  I didn’t have the [...]Read More

Andrew Peters vs Lane MacDermid Fight Video

September 24, 2010 - By

The Florida Panthers put on a very entertaining game on Thursday night in their victory over the Boston Bruins in the preseason game.  Andrew Peters is trying to prove he still has what it takes to play in the NHL and early in the first period he dropped the gloves with Lane MacDermid.

Bonneau and Lord Fight Videos vs Crunch

April 11, 2010 - By

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

End of Game Video; Suspensions Possible for MacIntyre and Others

2
March 14, 2010 - By

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

Graham Mink Drops the Gloves vs Kyle Rank

Graham Mink has now gone 13 games without scoring a goal and nine without a point so what better way to try and take your mind off that than with a fight.  Here’s the video of his bout with Kyle Rank during the Amerks 3-2 win over the Portland Pirates at HSBC Arena in Buffalo.

McArdle Injured in Fight with Smith, Video Included

February 15, 2010 - By

The Amerks had a 1-0 lead at the start of the second period and both teams were trying to take control and momentum, so what better time for a couple of players to put one a popular and enjoyable staged fight.  The two players to drop the gloves were Kenndal McArdle and Zack Smith.  Unfortunately Smith got the upper hand on McArdle and McArdle had to leave the game injured and did not return.  McArdle left the arena with one eye puffed up and his arm in a sling, not a good sign.

I could be wrong, but with McArdle having just missed a long stretch with a shoulder injury this season and also last season I wouldn’t expect him back quickly.

Here’s the video:

Mike Duco vs Tim Wallace Fight Video

January 23, 2010 - By

The puck barely touched the ice on Saturday night when Mike Duco and Tim Wallace dropped their mitts to continue the battle the two of them seem to have going.  A good way to create a spark to start the game and try and get some blood flowing on the bench.

The last time the Amerks and Penguins played on November 27th the two players fought as well, here’s that video:

The two teams play one more time on March 20 in Wilkes-Barre, we’ll have to see if they go for the hat trick.
