David Booth Gets First Natural Hat Trick
Going into Sunday’s game against the Anaheim Ducks, the Panthers were on a six-game winless streak. The Ducks took an early lead in the game, but David Booth would have nothing of that. He scored three consecutive goals for his first career natural hat trick. Booth scored 22 goals in his first full NHL season with the …

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 …

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 …

Gameday in Rochester vs. Manitoba Moose 11-07-2008
Another home game in Rochester tonight. The Amerks will take on the Manitoba Moose for the 3rd time this season. In their first two meetings in Manitoba, the Moose won both games 3-1 and 4-1. I would be hard pressed to find a person who doesn’t think this is going to happen again tonight. But, …

Skate With The Players 11-04-2008
My husband and I took our son to the annual Season Ticket Holder’s Skate with the Players tonight at Blue Cross Arena. Last year I had a lot of fun at this event, but my son was just a little too young and a lot too shy to go with us. I personally think this …

Amerks' Practice 11-03-2008: Back To The Grind
Jody Gage was just on the bench talking first to Jacob Micflikier and then to Andrew Sweetland. I don’t know what that was about, but if they are going to send Micflikier away it would be a crying shame. He is a bright spot on this team. Andrew Sweetland I often forget exists, so if …

Practice 10-30-2008
The team is working in smaller groups today. Right now half the team is sitting on the bench while the other half practices puck movement. It is very informative. They are really getting some good passing and scoring going on. Kenndal McArdle, once again, can stick the puck anywhere he wants to in the net. …
