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 …

Help! I Need Somebody…Not Just Anybody…
During last night’s game, a familiar Beatles’ tune was played after one of the Moose’ goals. As “Help!” was playing I was laughing a little to myself, thinking about how badly we really need some help. And no, it can’t just be from anybody…we need huge changes. This topic has already been discussed a million times …

Amerks Defeated by the Moose Yet Again
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 …

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 …

One of the few highlights from the Amerks 5-1 loss on Friday night against the Manitoba Moose. Riley Emmerson and Guillaume Desbiens dropped the gloves during the second period and went at it.
Amerks Lose 5-1 to Moose. Throw in the towel.
The Manitoba Moose arrived in Rochester on Thursday night, and expected controlled every aspect of the game on Friday night. Chances are the Moose are going to roll right over Syracuse on Saturday, and return to hand the Amerks their 12th loss of the season on Monday night. Throw in the towel, this season is …
