Nadeau also in the house at BCA this morning Who's next?

Random Amerks fact of the day:

Brett Murray is a draft pick from 2016, Tim Murray's last in Buffalo.

Lukas Rousek is a draft pick from 2019, Jason Botterill's last in Buffalo.


Both, currently, are the same age.

so Rousek went undrafted 3 times?

 

[Taro Tsujimoto]

 

[MarkusKetterer]

so Rousek went undrafted 3 times?

Twice. Murray was born in July 1998, Rousek was born in April 1999.

You have to turn 18 in your draft year to be eligible to be drafted (so anybody available to be drafted this draft had to be born in… 2005).

 

[Chainshot]

so Rousek went undrafted 3 times?

Yep. And he was one of the players selected in that draft who Botterill traded 2 picks in that draft to select (Huglen is the other).

 

[Gabrielor]

so Rousek went undrafted 3 times?

twice, and Murray's roughly 9 months older.

Cedarqvist is pushing pretty hard for Thursday. Have to think the Cincy boys (who have been great!) go back in the bullpen for Moose and Wardog.

'The love of being Amerks' a big reason why playoff run continues - Pickin' Splinters

After losing the first two games of the North Division semifinals to the Syracuse Crunch, it would have been easy to start packing the belongings and prepare for summer...

We’re not talking a row or two of Amerks fans sprinkled about the arena, either. These boisterous chants were orchestrated by two full sections — front row to back wall, lower bowl right up through the upper level — and picked up by the scores of other Amerks fans that helped make a normally hostile road atmosphere feel downright welcoming for their players.

“It was crazy sitting in the locker room hearing our fans over their fans,” Pilut said.

One of my beer league teammates was there and he already has tickets for the games in Toronto. It will be fun to see how well Amerks fans travel in this series, as well.



He was the guy in the Matthias jersey.

Anyone who wants to see Rochester games in Toronto at half price, the code is Coliseum and good until midnight. I got centre ice for $26 CDN

 

[toddkaz]

Ostlund gonna see the ice?

 

[Jim Bob]

Ostlund gonna see the ice?

He's dealing with a foot injury, so I doubt he plays. It is more about being around the team.

Duff on Sabres Live says there is a discount for Amerk tickets that is code - DUFFER.

 

[Jacob582]

Glad to hear that Duff will be joining Don Stevens for all the games this series.

 

[HOOats]

Glad to hear that Duff will be joining Don Stevens for all the games this series.

Wouldn't mind Don Stevens joining Duff, Marty, and Rob for all the games next year. He's electric!

 

[Ace]

Amerks are fixing to be very talented and very inexperienced next year. When you consider the Bloom trade it makes even more sense. They have a billion young forwards who need ice next year

App's going over 15 minutes in the press conference today:



(Haven't finished it yet, not sure if 10 minutes are some of the Buffalo locals rambling on with a yes or no question.)

Their in-house stats had them with a big advantage in both loose pucks and shot blocks.

Episode 65: Talking playoffs: NHL and Amerks - Maintenance Day

Apps from after this morning's practice.

- Wants to start the series better (duh) than going down 2-0.
- Wants them to enjoy the win, needs them to be emotionally invested right away (duh).
- The division is tight (series split with Toronto, like with Syracuse).
- Praised Marlies' captain Shaw AGAIN.
- High praise for Davies as buying in for being a defensive defenseman rather than being a PP QB only.
- Anticipates Warren will go tomorrow.
- Has not talked to the staff about Cederqvist.
- "Everybody is here to play" referencing Nadeau. Thinks Nadeau needs to practice and prepare like he's going to play, might have played 2 weeks ago with how thin they were.
