Amerks Sabotage an Excellent Game For Brodeur
Considering how badly the season has gone, it wasn’t until the 27th game of the season that the Amerks were shut out for the first time. They lost to the Peoria Rivermen (currently in 2nd place in the Western Conference) on Friday night by the final score of 2-0. The Amerks sabotaged an excellent game …

When Was the Last Time The Amerks…
Here’s some “fun facts” I guess you could call them about the last time certain things were achieved by or against the Rochester Americans. A few items that stick out more than others: The last Amerk to get a hat-trick at Blue Cross arena was Stefan Meyer on December 16, 2006, nearly two years ago. …

Amerks Send The River Rats Back To The Sewer; Win 4-0
Mike Brodeur made his first start in goal with the Amerks a memorable one last night when he shutout the Albany River Rats. He made the Rats (who just beat the Norfolk Admirals 8-1 on Friday night) look like a mess on the ice. But, he wasn’t the only player who really stepped up to …

Amerks Weren't Thrown to the Wolves…Pick Up One Point
For some reason, no matter how bad the Amerks are. They can always get a point or two out of the defending Calder Cup champions. Tonight was no exception. Although in real life the Amerks won this game 4-2…the score the officials gave them was a 3-2 shootout loss. The officiating tonight made me want …

Practice 11-12-2008: The Shantz Is Back
David Shantz has made his return to the Rochester Americans. For me, he is a sight for sore eyes. He has been playing well in Dayton this season. He played seven games there, getting four wins, with one shutout and an overtime loss. He has a 2.35 goals against average and a .914 save percentage …

Gameday 11-10-2008: Another Shot At the Moose
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 …

Gameday in Rochester vs. Manitoba Moose 11-07-2008
Another home game in Rochester tonight. The Amerks will take on the Manitoba Moose for the 3rd time this season. In their first two meetings in Manitoba, the Moose won both games 3-1 and 4-1. I would be hard pressed to find a person who doesn’t think this is going to happen again tonight. But, …

Amerks' Tuesday Practice; Meyer Returns
There is a new face on the ice today. That face stands about a full head above all the other players. Looks like the Amerks are making good with their promise to get us a guy who can plow through goons like Mirasty (Syracuse Crunch) with one fluid punch. This beast’s name is Riley Emmerson. …
