Cory Murphy Back To The Panthers…But, For How Long?
Defenseman, Cory Murphy was sent back to the Florida Panthers after last night’s win against the Hamilton Bulldogs. The Panthers immediately put Murphy on waivers. Could this mean that they plan to keep him in Rochester for the rest of the season if he clears? He would be a great addition to the Amerks (and …

Back To The Grind: Practice 12-17-2008
 After a well-deserved two day break, the Amerks are back on the ice today with a few additions. Shawn Matthias and Michal Repik are back from their call-ups to the Florida Panthers. They had great chemistry when playing together in Florida, I would like to see that transfer to the AHL. One major piece …

Repik A Good Match For The NHL
Michal Repik quickly became one of my favorite players for the Amerks. He has been a star on a team that hasn’t seen much light. He is the Amerks’ scoring leader with six goals and eight assists in 24 games. Only 23:53 into his NHL debut and he scored his first goal on a rebound shot …

Shawn likes …

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 …

An Open Letter to the Panthers from a fan of over 50 years
Here’s an “open letter” from a fan of the Amerks for over 50 years has written to the Florida Panthers. It was originally written on the Rochester Sports Fan forums. His name is Ted, he also posts as insagt1 on that forum. We felt this needed to be reposted for even more people to see. …

Shawn Matthias Recalled
Shawn Matthias has been recalled by the Florida Panthers. Matthias has played eight games with the Rochester Americans and has one goal and one assist.. It seems he will be centering the third line for the Panthers tonight when they take on the Ottawa Senators in Miami.
Craig Anderson Looks Amazing with the Panthers
Craig Anderson just keeps showing us Amerks’ fans that he was the real reason the Amerks made it to the playoffs in the 2006-07 season. And with a more skilled defense in front of him (or maybe a few goals scored in the series), the team could have taken out the Hamilton Bulldogs…and the rest could …
