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 …

Amerks Lose Home Opener to Crunch
It may sound like a familiar story, the Rochester Americans lose to the Syracuse Crunch, but what sets this one apart from last season is that the team put in a solid effort. The Crunch had a few lucky bounces, and the Amerks appeared to have scored a goal but the light never went on. …
