Jimmy Bonneau vs Jon Mirasty Fight Videos

October 24, 2009 - By

The first fight came after Jon Mirasty leveled Luke Beaverson into the boards in what looked like Mirasty should have been called for boarding.  Bonneau was quick to go after Mirasty and stick up for his teammate.

The second fight occurred right after the Crunch took a 1-0 lead in the game.  Just after the puck was dropped they decided to finish what they had started.

Bonneau did a great job standing up to Mirasty.  I think it’s safe to say we may see them go after each other a third time on Sunday evening.

Amerks Defeat the Crunch with a Strong Performance

September 30, 2009 - By

The Amerks won a game on the road in Syracuse.  Amazing.  What an odd drive home that was talking about how well the team played instead of the other way around.  With two minutes left in the game my sons face lit up with excitement that he finally saw a win in Syracuse, something he’s never witnessed before in his life.

Ok, back to ground level, it was only a preseason game.. but I’ll take it.

The team that played on Tuesday night in Syracuse was a completely different team than the one that played on Sunday night.  The team had some chemistry, some cohesion, the passes were crisp, bodies were thrown around, goals were scored, and there was blood.  What more can you ask for in a hockey game?

I knew we were in for a good game when players were chirping at each other during warmups.   Trevor Gillies for the Amerks was stretching near the red line at the end of warmups when a couple of pucks came across the ice in his direction.  How did they get there?  Kevin Harvey of the Syracuse Crunch.  Warmups ended with Gillies tossing a puck back towards Gillies and the two [...]Read More

Amerks Lose Second Preseason Game

September 28, 2009 - By

Brent Regner, Dan LaCosta, and Jamie Johnson

Something familiar happened on Sunday evening, the Amerks lost to the Crunch.  The final score was 4-1, the fourth goal was on an empty net.

If you showed up to the game expecting to see some finesse hockey you would have been let down.  The games going on in the other rinks were probably smoother than this one.

The game was sloppy, was all over the place, had little chemistry, and also had some guys trying to show themselves off more than trying to work together as a team.

We just need to remember, it’s only the preseason.  These players have only skated together a couple of times with there first real practice together Sunday morning for a short gameday skate.

After the game head coach Benoit Groulx said, “To me it’s an exhibition game.  We have alot of things that we need to put together and we’ll keep working at it.”

“Tonight we’re missing so many guys still with the Panthers like Repik, Duco, and Taffe.  Tonight we tried something and obviously it’s too early to get an idea,” is how Benoit Groulx replied to a question [...]Read More

Riley Emmerson vs Kevin Harvey Fight Video

April 13, 2009 - By

Riley Emmerson may have fought his last fight as a Rochester American on Saturday night when he fought Kevin Harvey of the Syracuse Crunch during the first period.  When the Amerks lost Steve MacIntyre off waivers they still needed someone to play the role of the fighter on the team and that player turned out to be Riley Emmerson.

Emmerson had been assigned to the Florida Everblades at the start of the season and then loaned to the Amerks by the Wild for the season.  It was Emmersons first year playing in the AHL and he didn’t do too bad.  He may have lost some fights, but also wasn’t afraid to drop the gloves.  He earned a lot of respect for not only his fighting skills, but also being able to play a regular shift when needed.  Often when the team ‘goon’ gets into a fight he doesn’t play the rest of the game.  Benoit Groulx wasn’t worried about that and regularly gave Riley a decent amount of time on the ice.

He’s heading into the summer as a free agent, even if the Panthers or Amerks don’t give him an offer I doubt it’ll be the last we see [...]Read More

Drew Larman vs Alexandre Picard Video

April 12, 2009 - By

It only took five seconds into the final game of the season between the Rochester Americans and Syracuse Crunch for a fight to occur on the ice.  The Amerks and Crunch are each others biggest rival, which is only natural considering it’s a short drive down the thruway and they also play each other 12 times a year.

Drew Larman and Alexandre Picard had been wanting to fight for the previous few games but did not have the chance until Saturday night.  Picard was on the starting lineup for the Crunch, Larman was not for the Amerks.  All it took was Picard explaining to McArdle who was on the ice.  McArdle agreed, after the puck dropped he jumped off the ice and Larman hopped on.

By definition this was one of those “staged fights” that both the AHL and NHL seem to be on a mission to put an end to.  I asked Larman about this being a staged fight and he hadn’t heard anything about things like this considered a bad thing.  Larman said, “He’s a good player.  To get him off the ice for five minutes is an advantage.”

Drew Larman isn’t a fighter, but he certainly did [...]Read More

Drew Larman the Film Maker

March 30, 2009 - By

Drew Larman has added film maker to his resume along with being a professional hockey player.  Larman is finishing up his fourth season as a Rochester American, he was originally signed by the Florida Panthers on September 25, 2005.  Larman was originally born in Buffalo, NY before moving to Michigan at a young age.

The video at the end of the post is Larmans first attempt at being a film maker.

“I’ve always been interested in film making, ever since i was little all i wanted to do was play hockey and make films,” Larman said when I caught up with him after Wednesday nights game.  “Last summer i went to a one week workshop to this film school in New York City, something I’d wanted to do since high school.”

Larman titled the film ‘We Are One‘ and links to a number of keywords around the idea of 2012.  When asked what 2012 is he said, “It opens peoples eyes to those kinds of things so that they can do their own research to find out what 2012 is all about.”

If you’re too lazy, here’s a Google search for 2012.

“The whole concept is that we [...]Read More

Riley Emmerson vs Sean McMorrow Fight Video

February 5, 2009 - By

As expected, Riley Emmerson and former Amerk Sean McMorrow dropped the gloves the second the puck hit the ice on Wednesday night.  This is Emmersons first year in the American Hockey League and he continues to square off against any of the known “heavyweights” he plays against.  Many had questions about Emmerson, but he continues to stand up against others and he can also play hockey.  On the flip side, the opposition he fought against earlier in the game sits and keeps the bench warm.

Another great quality of Emmerson is that he very rarely takes any undisciplined penalties.  It’s hard to imagine that with all of the fights he has been in, he still has fewer penalty minutes than Jordan Henry.

Apologies about the poor quality of the video, YouTube does not seem to be recognizing that it’s a higher quality and providing that option.

Fight Video: Tanner Glass vs Nicolas Blanchard

January 25, 2009 - By

The puck barely touched the ice for the first time on Saturday night at the Times Union Center when Nicolas Blanchard (Albany River Rats) and Tanner Glass (Rochester Americans) dropped their gloves to fight as the game got underway.  YouTube did not seem to pick up on the higher quality of the video, apologies that it did not upload as intended.  A decent fight that lasted almost a minute.

The Amerks were shutout 3-0 by the River Rats to lose their third straight in three nights prior to heading into the All-Star break.

Check out our game night entry and our post game write up about the loss.  The fight at the start of the game seemd to have little effect on the actual game, but did provide some early entertainment for those in the seats.
