It’s Jason Garrison’s 24th birthday today…so, happy birthday to him. He was also named the Morgan Stanley Player of the Month for October yesterday. So, congratulations and happy birthday.

The Amerks have already played the Manitoba Moose four times this season, which has resulted in four of eleven losses, and being outscored 17-4. The Rochester Americans just can’t seem to get the puck in the net to keep themselves in games, or try and make a comeback to win some games. The loss drops …

Karl Stewart is out on the ice taking some shots today. Not game ready though…he is in his warmup pants. I expect him to be ready for Friday’s game. But, that’s just me. Jack Birch is here watching the team. I sure hope he doesn’t think because we played one good game on Saturday that …
