Leggio remains in goal tonight, but no word yet if it'll be MacKenzie or Crawford paired with Finley. The rest of the lineup is expected to remain the same.
Quote:
Ledge is going to be in there and well see where it goes, Rolston said. I dont want to mess with something thats working.
Quote:
Crawford sat out the first seven games. He finally had a chance to play on Saturday in Glens Falls when illness kept Matt MacKenzie out of the game against the Adirondack Phantoms.
Quote:
After practice on Thursday, coach Ron Rolston didnt commit to whether Crawford or MacKenzie will play in tonights 7:05 home game against the Hamilton Bulldogs.
I will be watching on the television. Now have time now that pledging is done. Also turned 21 last weekend and got tickets to a game as a birthday gift, so I will do my best to provide more player updates for everyone. Haven't posted much in the last month or two but look forward to contributing more once again.

Well, going by the time stated here, it would be 4:05pm PST, but on FirstRow, they're saying it starts at 3:05pm PST.
Id imagine a type-o or something, like I said official tickets say 705 though ill be there at gates for the cheap molson lol, maybe they were figuring that?
Yeah definitely a time-zone thing, probably because the clock change is at a different date in Europe than it is in the US. Usually your 7 pm games are at 1 am here, but this one is on an hour earlier here, at 12 am, probably because our clock-change was this weekend.
Varone hooked by Bournival on opening shift, Amerks to the PP; no chances, as penalty expires.
Nattinen boards Crawford, another Amerks PP; Boyce with a SH wrister saved by Leggio; one point shot through traffic is the only Amerk chance; penalty expires.
GOAL! 1-0 Amerks! Girgensons! Assists to Biega and Flynn; slapper from right point tipped by Girgensons in slot and knuckles its way past Mayer.
Leggio with the breakaway save on Berger.
Adam takes a hooking penalty, Bulldogs to the PP; Gallagher with a point-blank chance; penalty expires.
Foligno drops Bournival at the blue line.
Gallagher pokes/runs Leggio, Brennan dumps him on backside of the net; only penalty is an interfence call on Gallagher, Amerks to the PP; save and post on Foligno and Rankin shots; Hodgson breakaway, but Beaulieu gets his stick in to disrupt the chance as penalty expires.
END OF 1ST PERIOD. 1-0 Amerks and the lead in shots 10-7.
Rochester are 3-0-0 when leading after one period and are second in the league in GF in each of the next two periods.
