KeithKPut him in goalie pads and then pull the old "swap the goalies twice to get a time out" play. Preferrably when there's a faceoff at the other end.ftyuv
Maybe the Bruins can put Bitz in goalie pads and have him play out the last couple minutes of the third period of the last game if we're ahead?
Should the bruins make it that far, I think it is far more likely that Bitz would get back into the line-up due to someone suffering from a "lower body injury".

Murray v Parros (Princeton) in the final minute of the first period. Apparently they go all the way back to HS.
I'd call it a draw.
I got a chuckle out of the announcer, after noting that Murray was from Cornell and Parros from Princeton, exclaiming, "It's an Ivy League dust-up!"
from this article, which has a number of quotes from both Murray and Parros:

If such sweat equity belies their Ivy League pedigree, there is no such incongruity off the ice. Parros ... routinely trounces [his] teammates on the USA Today crossword puzzle.

Hey, Travis, it's "Douglas."
"That's a good question," said the Sharks' Travis Moen, who was traded from Anaheim in March. "Georgie's pretty smart. I probably haven't seen Dougie doing too many crossword puzzles."

Yeah, exactly what I thought. But then again, it is the most prestigious paper that arrives at my hotel room every day.
And actually, if I may go all billhoward for a sec, considering how that article went out of its way to try to impress us with Parros's intellectual accomplishments and then followed up with a 'Murray studied hotels! Which is good there! And he sells beer taps!' (here's a ball. Maybe you can bounce it.), I was half-expecting them to tell us that Douglas enjoys the TV Guide crossword or the Junior Jumble. But no, it ends by basically quoting a teammate saying "yeah, I don't think he does crosswords."

Parros has got Douglas in terms of 'stache quality. Douglas has him in terms of hockey game (and contract value by a long-shot). I watched about 50 Ducks games this year and Parros isn't awful, he's a better than average goon in terms of being able to play a little hockey and create a few chances without being a huge defensive liability out there. Maybe it's just the 'stache, I dunno (don't know for you Ivy types).

The Chicago School would tell you Douglas is the more valuable player. The value of Parros's 3-year contract is around the same as each year of Murray's four year contract extension.RatushnyFan

From the TBRW awards thread:
Wow. Sometimes the emphasis to have the best record is over-rated. I think there is something to be said about having to scratch and claw your way in and being the "underdog".
Should be an interesting off-season in SJ. They ousted Ron Wilson because he could get the team to the finals. Lots of questions, maybe I'll post some in the JSID hockey thread.
Good thing about Sharks being eliminated, Randy Hahn (TV pbp guy) will lose the "beard".

In looking at the eLynah posts since the end of the season, I think there are actually more this year with three former Cornell players with teams in the Stanley Cup playoff hunt.
Douglas Murray - San Jose
Byron Bitz - Boston
Ryan O'Byrne - Montreal
FYP
LOL!

You need to be able to beat the Ducks if you expect to win the Cup. The Ducks are better with Jonas Hiller in net and the late season tinkering seems to have worked. I like Getzlaf and Bobby Ryan a lot, they both skate hard all the time. Defensively they've improved as well, even though they dumped Montador (I thought he was a solid contributor). Despite all their improvements, shame on the Sharks for not dispatching the Ducks in 6 games!
P.S. Note that the Sharks did better when Douglas played more minutes (they won 2 of 3 games when he played 18+ minutes and lost all 3 games when he played less). Hardly the causal factor but an interesting aside. Just play the kid

And Rob Blake logged well over 20+ minutes a game and was a net -5 for the series. Murray was a net -1, and that was in one game where he was a -1, the rest of the time he was even. I know +/- is a not a perfect measurement, but it does say something about one's ability to take care of the defensive zone.

While there certainly may be something to Murray's stronger presence in the wins, I fear it is probably more closely related to the awful NFL cliche, "X team wins Y amount of times when they run the ball 25 times a game!" Well yeah, they can play a running style if they're winning! An NHL team can play its best defensive defensivemen (and rotate their entire units) in games that it is winning as well.

On the Sharks radio broadcast jamie baker pointed out (after game 3) that the Sharks switched to having Murray and Ehrhoff covering the Ducks top line and how they were matching up much better than Vlassic and Blake had early on the series. So in this case there may be some causation to the correlation between Murray's playing time and the team results.BCrespiRatushnyFan

I could definitely see this being the case, but that doesn't really change the fact that Murray can't play as many minutes when his team is behind later in the game as he's not exactly Brian Leetch with the puck on his stick. Nevertheless, I certainly would have loved to see more Murray on the ice, selfishly.

Haven't read this anywhere yet, but the Caps' Simeon Varlamov has a chance to equal Ken Dryden's 1971 feat of winning the Cup after having played in only six NHL regular season games. Not real likely to happen, but we've seen a lot of unusual endings lately.

True, but tautological. To win the championship you have to beat everyone else. Some paths are harder than others, though, and I don't want to front-load the challenges. I'd rather have the Red Wings playing the Sharks in the conference finals than the Ducks in the second round.RatushnyFan

That's not true at all. Style of play, psychology, etc are all factors. You can have a situation where A beat B, and C beats A, but B beats C. In other words, one could imagine a team that is generally dominant but for whatever reason just doesn't match well against the Ducks. That team would stand a much better chance if some other team knocks the Ducks out for them.ugarteTrue, but tautological. To win the championship you have to beat everyone else.

Think, for instance, about how the mediocre Dolphins always seem to beat the Pats, who are better overall. At least, that's what I'm told; I have trouble caring enough to follow a sport where plays are 8 seconds long and have two minutes between them.

While matchups do matter, I don't think you get very many circular comparisons in practice (by abstract measure of ability, not limited sample size results). Maybe if you're comparing the top three teams in the league who are close to even. But not when you're comparing a middle of the road team to top teams.ftyuv

Depends. When I was on the Cornell fencing team, there was another guy I could beat fairly consistently, and we had success against others pretty commensurate with what you'd expect. However, Penn had a guy who had just come off a gold medal win at the junior olympics and was rated #3 or #4 for all North American epee fencers, and my friend would absolutely dominate him in competitions - really bizarre. He did it on multiple occasions, even winning by a combined 20-5 or 20-6 score in a best 2-of-3 to 10 in the Eastern Regionals one year. For whatever reason, this guy who could dominate nearly all college fencers just could not beat my friend - he really would have benefited if some else knocked my friend out first.KeithK

There's probably more variability of style in a one-on-one sport like fencing (we had several A>B>C>A loops just within the Cornell team), but I do believe matchups matter in hockey, too.

Your "favorite" former Clarkson player has become one of the best shut down D-men in the NHL.
Boston has a better shot of getting there unless Luongo can carry Van to the finals. Interesting next series, last night got VAN off to a good start.

In my day, we had to write the HTML out on HTML coding forms, drop them off to be key punched, pick up the cards and a printout the next day, debug the HTML, and take psychedelic drugs to imagine what the way it would look on the web if we had one. And we liked it!
