Kevin Freiheit: Amerks fall in overtime
The Amerks lost a tough match last night to the Baby Penguins by a 5-4 score in overtime.
Skating 6-on-5 with 1:08 to play in regulation, Rochester erased a 4-2 deficit with back-to-back goals 43 seconds apart from Kevin Porter and Mark Mancari to force overtime, but the rally would fall short as Thompson converted on a breakaway opportunity in the closing seconds of the extra...
Kevin Freiheit: Amerks' 1-1 start
The Americans are off to a 1-1 start, which obviously could have been worse. Blowing a three goal lead in the season opener is nothing to be proud of, but I have to give them credit. After the collapse, Mark Mancari stepped up.
Here are highlights of both games incase you missed them:
It's Sunday, which now means another Bills blowout. It's just gotten ridiculous...
Kevin Freiheit: Mancari's shootout winner caps 6-5 victory

GARTH: Porter Named Amerks Captain
Ron Rolston has named his captain for the 2012-13 season. The second year Amerks coach opted to go outside the Sabres "family" by selecting recently signed centre Kevin Porter as his captain. Sabres draft choices TJ Brennan and Mark Mancari will serve as alternate captains to Porter. Curious move in that Porter has only been signed to a one year contract by Rochester.

Kevin Freiheit: A step in the right direction
Mark Mancari, huh?
Not a bad signing by the Sabres. In fact, I think it's a pretty good one.
In case you didn't know, Mancari set the AHL record for hardest slap shot in 2008, at 102.8 mph:
Just a quick, short post for today. Enjoy your weekend, everyone.
This next video has some recent memories. My favorite being Jochen Hecht scoring in a shootout.

Vancouver…Get ready for the Kevin Connauton era
Up & Comer
To understand the type of player Kevin Connauton is, consider his role in the Chicago Wolves second goal in a recent 4-2 win over the Rockford IceHogs.
Connauton started with the puck at centre ice and burst into the offensive zone untouched before dropping it back to Mark Mancari. Mancari’s quick shot was stopped by Carton Hutton but Anton Rodin popped home the...
