Rochester Americans and Jacksonville Icemen 2024 Season Thread.

[Chainshot]

Dobes has again been excellent. The Rocket are having a hard time getting out of their zone.

 

[Chainshot]

It seems like Rathbone and Metsa are better point men than Clague. Lord he's so slow to process.

 

[Chainshot]

Amerks give up consecutive 2-on-1's while on the PP, Levi makes a nice save on the 2nd. What a mess.

 

[Chainshot]

Amerks now going to be killing a 5-on-3 after consecutive meh calls.

 

[Chainshot]

The PK picks up the soft calls against and kills both penalties.

 

[Chainshot]

Dunne gets called for diving but they send the Lindstrom who was hooking him too.

And Novikov just misses on two great chances - one he set up, one he had and swept into the side of the net.

 

[Chainshot]

Wahlberg stoned on a back post play by Dobes. Wow, great stop.

 

[Chainshot]

Laval getting some Montreal-esque officiating. Man.

Laval getting some Montreal-esque officiating. Man.

It helps that Laval is now just a neighbourhood of Montreal.

 

[Chainshot]

Levi makes a great stop moving from the right post to stop Barre-Boulet with his glove who was coming in back post.

 

[Chainshot]

Metsa absolutely everywhere on this last shift. DAAAMN.

 

[Chainshot]

Twice on the PP Rathbone has snapped a pass through the Laval diamond right to the leftwing half-wall and both times it surprised the Amerk receiving the pass (Dunne first, Wahlberg second).

 

[Chainshot]

Amerks get a 2nd late PP and the first unit is just unable to generate much of anything despite being in the zone almost the entire 2 minutes. Helenius had a great chances in front but the rest of the time they kept themselves wide and outside. I would prefer Metsa or Rathbone as the PP1 QB. They get shrinking the diamond.

Metsa absolutely everywhere on this last shift. DAAAMN.

So...when does he finally get an NHL deal?

 

[Chainshot]

Kozak goes with Davidson. I would give him the decision in that fight. Spirited. Hope he didn't break anything.

I would've signed him to one over the summer. If he bolts in the summer, that would seriously suck.

 

[Chainshot]

Neuchev's pursuit defensively AGAIN breaking up an odd-man rush. His defensive game is cooking.

 

[Chainshot]

Levi. HOLELEECRAP. Stopping a one-timer on a 2-on-1. DAAAAAMN.

 

[Chainshot]

ROUSEK ON THE BREAKAWAY!!! WOOOOOOO.

2-1 OT win, Dobes and Levi were both excellent, though I'd give Dobes the edge in terms of quality saves. He kept them in it.

The Amerks controlled the puck for most of the OT. I did not like Clague extending his shift twice when he could've changed late - he was on for the GWG and had spent nearly 2 minutes on the ice by my reckoning. They rotated through six or seven forwards in that span, with the puck in the Laval end or on the Laval half of the ice the entire time.

Levi needed this game though. He started a little shaky but had a couple of great saves in the back half of the game.

This is the 2-on-1 stop -

Nice night for the goalies starting for all three organizational teams - 1 GA total between the three as Jax wins 5-0.

Nadeau with another point.

Levi not pulling his weight clearly.

This morning's press huddle -



Levi will be starting again tonight against Hershey.

Crazy that this is the Bears only visit to Rochester.

 

[Chainshot]

Once again, the North Division is just murderous - six of seven teams are .571 or better with Laval leading the way at .833. Five are .600 or better. Absolutely nuts.
