Amerks 4- Moose 2

4 goals in the 3rd period. Amerks lead series 1-0.

Best hockey team in North America.

BMonica is just excited that the word 'best' is being attritruted to Rochester without the words 'city to leave' coming right after it.

Perhaps, the Amerks are the best H_Team in America, and no one in Hockeytown is saying that the Moose did not sputter in the 3rd.
Good news is, they are the ones who lost the game, and Randy and Les Boys are fully aware of that fact.

4 to 2 - 1 meaningless empty net goal = 3 - 2 which equates to The Canadian Hitmen doing a far better job of waking our boys up in game one of their lost cause than your girls have.

You really should be concerned, unless The Asmurfs didn't dress their real team.



Sig Bet, Mr. Smack?

Quit thinking about my dick and think about how much worse it is going to be for your Moose if the Amerks ever decide to play the 1st and 2nd periods as well. Now, if you want to talk about gay...



Oh, and the rules sound good to me. It's a deal.

Okay; wincing is unCanadian, even when one is having the oil being blown outta their right knee, but there is most certainly nothing gay you can come up with aboot this next guy.


I love to break bricks.

Sure, nothing gay about Cory Pecker whatsoever. :roll:

I laughed like a school girl when I first heard that the Moose got a player named Cory Pecker.

I mean like naming your kid Cory is just begging for a neverending barrage of torment to be cast upon the poor undeserving smuck.

What were Mr & Mr's Pecker thinking. :roll:



So, when do they play game 2?

Game 2 is tonight at the Blue Cross Arena at the Rochester War Memorial.

Say that 3 times fast.

Game time is 7:35 EDT

That's what? 3:35 in the after noon for you guys on the other side of the world? ;)

Game 2 is tonight at the Blue Cross Arena at the Rochester War Memorial.

After the Moooose rut 'em teary n torn, your fancy boyz will wish they were playing at The Red Cross Arena at The Rochester War Memorial Hospital.

What a game errrrr NOT. :roll:

1 goal in the first 30 seconds and then NOTHING?????

Oh well, it's 1 loss in 6 games. No time to panic.

You can have your new Sig now, if you wish to get it over with sooner. :wink:

By PAUL FRIESEN

So that's what a really good AHL team looks like.

Make that two really good teams.

Because after being out-hit, out-hustled and out-shot for two periods here last night, suggesting that maybe, just maybe, they don't belong on the same ice as the Rochester Americans, the Manitoba Moose clawed their way back from a two-goal deficit to force overtime in Game 3 of their second-round series.

Then they won it 5-4 in the extra session, thanks to a goal by Jeff Heerema.

This one looked to be over early in the third period, the Moose down, 4-2.

The no-quit in the home team was just as impressive as the relentless pressure the Amerks threw at them.

No doubt Moose boss Randy Carlyle and his players knew what they were in for, challenging the regular-season champions in a best-of-seven.

For local hockey fans, though, last night provided a first post-season look at the current challenge faced by the home side, and they had to like what they saw.

A crowd of 7,140 suggests they're having a tough time warming up to this matchup. This isn't the St. John's Maple Leafs, after all, who drew well over 8,000 for weekday games in the first round.

It may be harder to get a hate on for the Americans, at least compared to the ease with which you could dislike the hatchet-wielding Leafs.

Oh, Rochester is intense, all right, but in all the right ways, getting to the puck carrier like a dog to a scrap of chicken, for instance, and making a statement when they get there. These guys finish more checks than Pollard Banknote, for crying out loud.

They're just as aggressive when they kill penalties, too, and the Moose power play will have to continue to be a factor if Manitoba wants to have a say in this thing.

A few more playmakers like Peter Sarno would help.

You get the impression Sarno could pass the puck through a roomful of rocking chairs, at least you did after his seeing-eye job set up Lee Goren for a first-period power play goal that made it 1-1.

As if to top that, Sarno somehow got a bouncing puck to Goren while falling down on another power play late in the second, Goren finishing it off to cut into Rochester's 3-1 lead.

All too often, though, Moose passes were misfiring like a Harley running on one cylinder through the first 40 minutes.

You may have thought it was nerves, but when it continued through the second period you were left with the conclusion it was the Amerks who just don't give teams an inch.

Outshot 14-7 in the first period, the Moose figured to come out flying in the second, right?

Nope. It was Rochester who put the foot to the gas, instead, to the tune of 11 shots to 1 around the midway mark.

At that point, you couldn't help but wonder if the Moose were simply up against a much better team.

It took another Amerks penalty to kick-start Manitoba's game, and a dynamite hit to shift it into gear.

Defenceman Kevin Bieksa pulled an old-fashioned hip check out of his pocket, leveling fellow rookie Thomas Vanek late in the second period.

The Moose took that momentum into the power play that led to Goren's second of the night, and looked to carry it into the third, too.

Which they did, getting the first few good scoring chances.

Problem is, Rochester goalie Ryan Miller shut the door.

And the Americans buzz-saw didn't have an off switch on this night. Next thing the Moose knew, they were down by two again, and the crowd, which had cranked it up a notch, too, was silent.

The place exploded when, first, Ryan Kesler, then Josh Green beat Miller on tough-angle shots that may have been tipped.

The Moose showed their true mettle, though, by killing off a five-minute major to close out regulation time.

Then the Amerks killed a 5-on-3 to start overtime.

See what I mean?

Two good teams. One good series.

tough love wrote:Two good teams. One good series.

No doubt. Nobody should be shocked if this goes 7.

I can't believe how ******* good those ******'s are.

Your goalie is a fucking brick wall. I've got to give him props. It's a damn shame these two teams are in the same division. This should be a final series.

I had to chuckle at the state of Kelly Moores voice as last nights game wound down.
This series has been brutal for The Voice Guys.

Any honest hockey fan, and player can but have respect for both of these teams play.
I reacon last nights huge win was but a skate blade away from going the other way.

Those bastards are playing the smack right outta this thread... :wink:


HUGE PROPS ALL AROUND.

3 2 1 WOOHOOOOO yum yum tasty

Ouch!

OK, that sucked. First off, your goalie is a stud. His play in games 2 and 4 turned what could have been a 7 game series into a 4-1 rout. By game 5, you could tell the Amerks just didn't want any more. Fuck! 18 shots in the whole GAME? It's been a long year and I know they had to be dragging with some of the injuries (like basicly a whole line missing for the 5th game) ... but 18 SHOTS???

Anyways, props to the Moose. They played their asses off. I guess the Calder Cup waits another year.

I await my sig. I'm moving today and tommorow. So if I don't see it in a few hours, I may not grab it it right away. Its because my computer will have been turned off, not because I'm ducking you.

I got to say that at the start of the game, when me boyz figured they could play your boyz short handed, they had me breathing in and outta the brown bag I was drinking from.

Your guys deserve a lotta credit, especially for awakening the lethargic Tobba hockey fans.
Last nites draw was 15k, which is near top notch for the Moose.

Hope your move went well.

As for the S_bet - pick one:

Prop the Amerks for resurrecting Manitoba's hockey fans.

I lost a bet and all I ended up with is this lousy Sig.

If I ever change, I want Dinsdale to be my first.

All things Poli_Relevant, I have learned from Dr. Detroit.

Or better yet:
You take the Wolves, and we go double or nothing. :)

No double or nothing for me. If the Amerks can't be the ones to hoist the cup, then I'll be pulling for the Moose. Those guys have some serious heart.

What a weird hockey season. I know how much the NHL means to people, but this was without a doubt the best year of AHL hockey since the expansion craze started. And I have to admit, there is a part of me hoping to see it continue for another year. Especialy since the NHLPA and the owners feel compelled to act like total jerkoffs.

PS: Move is still in progress. Going well though. We're just moving accross town. I'll be glad when its over just the same. ;)

The quality of the ECHL has been helped as well this season. :)

Who could blame you.

The stats of this series has 7 games written all over 'em.


Hopen the Moose lose the first game... :twisted:

True 'Dat.
I was born a great winner.

Just who in hockey_hell are these Wolves, anyway???
I'm going with, another great U.S team who couldn't fill a Canadian hockey players jockstrap even with their nuds overdosed on botulinum toxin.

Me thinks this poser puppy pack will be looking for a new den to hide out in after The Mighty Moose's introduction swellings set in.

Lick your paws, suckers, your tune up begins tonight.

Wolves 4 - Moose 3

Another perfectly executed long term plan.
We got 'em exactly where we want 'em.

According to their press, they actually think they got a chance.

Okay, I may of questioned this strategy just a tad, but what the hey, I'm no Randy C.

Rise 'em up with two freebies, just so you can feed your fans their stomped hearts of crushatude while you bask in the glory of your homies embracing your bloodied skates.

FN Brilliant

This is why I'm not the Coach....which I'm not.

Like I have always said; American teams are real good, and Randy and the Moose will definately have their hands full if they ever have to faceoff against that over-excellent Wolves team.

I just wish our guys could of given the superior team a better go of it, but lets face it, we are just a Canadian team, and huge props to the Moose for standing up to what they all knew was going to be a knocken down.

God Bless them for doing that for me, and God Bless America, the land of great hockey.

Sorry; I'm too chocked up to continue *sniffles*
