Rochester Americans and Jacksonville Icemen 2024 Season Thread.

[Chainshot]

1-0 Bport. We look completely gassed from last night.

Looks like the only change from last night is Kisakov in for Nadeau -

Jobst ties it!

 

[Chainshot]

Jobo! Tied.

 

[Chainshot]

Kisakov flashing the hands, 2-1 Rochester.

 

[Chainshot]

Not enjoying the Bridgeport PBP guy talking about how they should have stepped on the Amerks throats. Twice.

 

[Chainshot]

The thing with Kisakov, the hands and brain are there. It's a case of how much mass can he carry and can he get any short area burst. He's still soooo thin.

 

[Chainshot]

And now Kisa gets a meh holding penalty. Maybe a weak tripping call but I don't get that as a penalty. Then again, I'm biased.

 

[Chainshot]

Sounds like Tullio is getting a high-sticking penalty to end the 1st. I had to go back and look for it - didn't see Metsa near his man do anything or Novikov as he was being checked. It's up by the boards and the Bridgeport guy's head snapped back. Can't see it on my little screen to know if it's legit.

Against literally any other team we would be losing this game, but Bridgeport is just unbelievably bad. I almost wonder if part of the sloppiness is not really respecting the opponent?

Double minor as he drew blood.

Yeah, I flipped it on just in time to see Slaggert get another shorty but missed the PPGA.

 

[sabremike]

Bozo the Ref misses an obvious BP penalty that led directly to a goal but we get a shorty seconds later.

Yeah, I have this on in the background since Swe-Fin is so intense right now.

 

[Chainshot]

Jobo again, 4-2.

 

[Chainshot]

Kisakov's second point as he popped it up to Jobst to get the breakout.

 

[sabremike]

A major roster flaw is our defense, which is mainly because Kevyn does nothing but draft forwards.

They're trying to work two prospects into the mix with Novikov and Komarov on different pairs. My bigger issue is that Clague is not a good defender. They have two "stopper" types and one is a rookie, the other a 2nd year AHLer.

They are making lots of really bad plays in both ends of the ice. There were multiple plays in the attacking end where they would do a really lazy or dumb pass (the first goal against was a perfect example).

Eh, I still find them to be far better organized and executing cleaner than they did with Appert behind the bench. Their last long-distance road game also saw them really flat (WBS) so that they had a good game against Springfield surprised me. That the second game in under 24 hours has them looking ragged isn't as much of a surprise. I wouldn't have minded more of the fresh legs getting into the lineup, though I still haven't heard how long Neuchev is out.

The 5pm start was really odd.

 

[sabremike]

Most blatant interference call you will ever see and Bozo the Ref missed it.

He's certainly serving some home cooking. PPs are 5-1 for the home squad.

 

[Chainshot]

Rousek with the empty netter to make it 5-3 Amerks.

 

[Chainshot]

Murray initially too unselfish trying to get Ostlund the puck on an empty net rush. Buries it the next chance he gets, now 6-3. Bridgeport now with 11 loses in a row on home ice.
