AMERKS DAILY PRESS CLIPS W Ednesday, M Arch 31, 2021 AMERKS DAILY PRESS CLIPS W ednesday, M arch 31, 2021 AMERKS PREPARE FOR THREE GAMES IN FOUR NIGHTS THIS WEEK By Ryan Harr Amerks.com Last Friday night, the Rochester Americans suffered a 4-3 overtime loss to the Syracuse Crunch at The Blue Cross Arena. Yes, the Amerks earned a point, but it was a point some would argue that was seemingly impossible to get when considering the various situations surrounding the team. The club was playing its first contest in 16 days after postponing a series of games due to COVID-19 protocols. The Amerks were without head coach Seth Appert as he was temporarily filling in for interim Buffalo Sabres head coach Don Granato, who along with former Amerk Matt Ellis, entered into NHL COVID-19 protocols. The team remained without its top three goaltenders in Dustin Tokarski, Michael Houser and Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen, as they all were with the Sabres or on the team’s taxi squad. And finally, Rochester was without four of its top five scorers they were all out of the lineup. Therefore, the Amerks played the game with 10 forwards, seven defensemen and one true goaltender. As a last resort, the team was forced to dress video coach Kris Young as the back-up. Oh, nearly forgot, they were playing a Crunch team coming into Rochester winners of three straight and four of their previous five games while outscoring its opposition 14-5 over that span. By erasing a two-goal deficit and forcing overtime, the Amerks pushed their point-streak to 3-0-1-0 record in their last four games on home ice and now show a 15-8-2-1 mark in the last 25 contests with the Crunch. APPERT RETURNS AFTER WHIRLWIND FEW DAYS IN NHL Following last Thursday’s practice, Amerks head coach Seth Appert was meeting with his staff much like any other day, evaluating the players and making preparations for Friday’s contest. Within minutes, Appert received a phone call from Sabres general manager Kevyn Adams, suddenly Appert was on his way to Pittsburgh. Appert made the trip to PPG Paints Arena, and arrived in time for the game, but had to get a rapid test prior to joining the team on the bench. “It was around 2:30 and Kevyn did not have a lot of information other than Don and Matt were in protocol,” said Appert. “We were trying to figure out what the next steps would be, but we agreed why don’t I just get in the car and start making the drive.” “I watched the first period inside the video room as I did not want to walk on the bench during the period, but then joined Kevyn and company for the rest of the contest.” Less than 24 hours later, Appert was running Buffalo’s practice in Boston as they were preparing to face the Bruins Saturday afternoon. “We knew Don and Matt were going to be alright late Thursday night, but I appreciate the trust that both they had in me to run the practice and meetings.” “It was a good experience for me.” BIRO BIG TIME With the Amerks missing 12 players from their roster, other players got a chance to step into roles they usual were not accustomed to. Rookie forward Brandon Biro served on the first line with fellow first-year forward Jack Quinn and veteran Remi Elie. Biro not only stepped into that position, but he also posted a career-high three points (2+1), including his first two tallies as a professional. “That line was fantastic,” Appert said. “I thought Remi showed great leadership and Brandon was rewarded for his play during the game. He was all over the puck, winning battles and playing the game the right way. When you do those things and you have two really good players, good things are going to happen.” “For most of the season, Brandon has been playing in the 13–14-minute range, but it was an opportunity for him to get to 20 minutes and it was a really, really strong performance for him,” continued Appert. “The attitude that the team, including the young guys, brought was great,” said alternate captain Dalton Smith. “They have the will to win, the extra work they put in, and the entire team has such high goals. Everyone pushes each other and is motivated. It all makes us a better team.” THE CULTURE APPERT BRINGS Despite being in his first season as professional head coach, Appert has instilled a culture on the team no matter who is behind the bench or who is missing. “We were really clear on the culture that we wanted to create,” Appert explained. “The work-ethic that we expect on a daily basis but also how we were going to treat them as humans. I want the workplace to be a fun place, the rink to be the most fun place, but fun is mixed with work.” While Friday’s overtime loss, like any loss did not sit well, Appert said it is because of the standard he and his staff established. “I talked with Kevyn during the trip with the Sabres when he asked how we were going to do,” Appert said. “I said we are going to do great. This is the standard. No matter who is playing, we are going to play hard, make life miserable for our opponents, play for one another. It does not guarantee points or wins but it gives you a chance to win.” “The energy he brings, how passionate he is about being here and helping us develop, it is just contagious,” Smith said. “He works his butt off everyday and it has been awesome.” Looking ahead The Amerks begin a busy three-game week as they welcome the Cleveland Monsters to The Blue Cross Arena on Wednesday, Mar. 31. The 7:05 p.m. will be the first meeting of three inside the Flower City this season and second of six overall. Following the contest, the Amerks will play in a home-and-home against the Syracuse Crunch on Friday, April 1 and Saturday April 2, respectively. All of the action will be carried live on The Sports Leader AM 950/95.7 FM ESPN Rochester as well as AHLTV. Friday’s matchup will be tape-delayed on CW Rochester beginning at 10 p.m. Sabres notebook: Seth Appert returns to coach Amerks after whirlwind trip to NHL By Mike Harrington, Lance Lysowski Buffalonews.com After a whirlwind three days with the Buffalo Sabres, Rochester Amerks coach Seth Appert was able to catch his breath Monday and return to his team. But he had quite a story to tell. It was about 2:30 p.m. Thursday when Sabres General Manager Kevyn Adams called Appert to tell him that interim head coach Don Granato and interim assistant Matt Ellis were in Covid-19 protocol. Appert was needed in Pittsburgh, and faceoff was less than five hours away. "I packed first, showered, got in the car, started heading to Pittsburgh as safely as possible, but I was probably going a little too fast," Appert joked on a video call Monday from Blue Cross Arena. "I made it on time around 6:40 but had to get a rapid test and wait 30 minutes for that. I wasn't going to walk on the bench in a middle of a period so I watched the first period from the video room and then joined Kevyn from there." Adams was the Sabres' head coach during the 4-0 defeat, and the club learned late that night that Granato and Ellis had been cleared from protocol and would be driving to Boston for Saturday's game. In their place, Appert ran his first NHL practice Friday in TD Garden. "I appreciate the trust that Donnie and Kevyn placed in me that day to run meetings with the team and then to run practice," Appert said. "That was good experience, and I appreciate the way the players competed in that practice. They competed hard and had a real purposeful 30-minute practice when it could have certainly not been that way." Appert said he and the Sabres' staff spent Friday night doing their prep for the game – and watching the shorthanded Amerks battle to a shootout loss against Syracuse while being run by assistants and former Sabres Adam Mair and Mike Weber. "I have a great staff. ... I felt extremely confident and how comfortable with how things will be run while I was gone," Appert said. Appert said Saturday's 3-2 loss in Boston, a game the Sabres led through two periods, was a tough one for the players and Granato to take. But he said he felt a big difference from that game to the 4-1 loss against the Bruins March 20 in KeyBank Center. Appert was also on the bench for that one after the firings of Ralph Krueger and Steve Smith the day before. "There was a lot of honesty in the effort and intentions that day to put themselves in position to win that game. You felt for the group, felt for Donnie," Appert said. "The difference right now between when I was on the bench that first game against Boston at home ... I thought was significant in the style Donnie is trying to implement, trying to get them to play. I think there's traction there, and you can feel that traction. But now you've got to stay with it in those moments of adversity and then fight to get some results to keep building more belief." Another change A restructuring of the Sabres’ scouting department included the dismissal of another hockey operations employee.

Krueger expressed excitement for the challenge ahead and the privilege of coaching a franchise that was held in high regard by friends and former colleagues, including Miroslav Satan and Uwe Krupp. Yet, Krueger wasn't interested in focusing on the past, specifically why the Sabres' playoff drought reached a National Hockey League-worst eight seasons.

    Buffalo Sabres Daily Press Clips December 31, 2015 Capitals score 4 in third, rally for 5-2 win over Sabres By Jeff Seidel AP December 31, 2015 WASHINGTON (AP) — The Washington Capitals entered the third period Wednesday night with key players injured, missing good scoring chances and trailing by a goal. Then Alex Ovechkin scored twice during a four-goal rally and the Capitals beat the Buffalo Sabres 5-2 to extend their winning streak to nine games and overtake the Dallas Stars for the NHL points lead. "Tonight, you saw some backbone when it was needed," Washington coach Barry Trotz said. "It (was) an opportunity for guys to step up and they did. There wasn't any excuses." The four-goal third period came after the team lost forward Jay Beagle to an upper-body injury and center Nicklas Backstrom to an unspecific injury in the second period. Beagle will undergo surgery and miss significant time. Backstrom's injury was not disclosed and he could play Thursday at the Carolina Hurricanes. Washington already was playing without top defenseman John Carlson, out with a lower-body injury. Despite that, the Capitals turned around Buffalo's 2-1 lead quickly. "We are pretty relentless as a team," Washington goalie Braden Holtby said. "(Obviously, the injuries) makes it tougher. Those guys play a huge role on our team but we are just going to have to find different ways to win if they are out. " Trotz shifted Marcus Johansson from left wing to center and moved Evgeny Kuznetsov to center on the top line.
