Ben Scrivens named Player of the Week in the last week of December:

He's putting up good numbers. Always felt he was the best player in that incredibly talented class.

HIlbrich Named ECHL Player of the Week

I noticed John McCarron on ECHL All Star roster.

Who has actually played an NHL game this year? Moulson and... anybody else?

Nash is on the Bruins, playing regularly

Brings up an interesting thought. On whom would you place your money as the next Cornellian to play an NHL Game? Greening? Bardreau? Angello? I think I might take Joakim Ryan.

I would have guessed Ferlin, but he appears to be hurt. Only two games in the AHL this year.

Based upon what they're saying about him, I'll agree.

I'd bet on Ryan, too.

I like Bardreau, but he's not exactly big. He's playing on the 3rd or 4th line for the Phantoms and I don't see the Flyers calling him up anytime soon. Willcox is doing OK, but the Flyers have a crap-load of depth on D and several guys ahead of him on the Phantoms.

My guess would have been Ferlin, but he's only played two games in the AHL this year. Must've gotten hurt?

Went to the Phantoms game against Providence Saturday night hoping to see 3 Cornell alums on the ice. Little did I know that Ferlin was injured and Willcox had been assigned to Reading for one game. Meh.

On top of that the Phantoms lost 9-1 - the Phantoms' lone goal was scored with about a minute left. Not only did they play their safety sieve (Mark Dekanich from Colgate), but I kept looking for an "emergency sieve." Just plain ugly.

FWIW, Bardreau was the only one on the Phantoms still hustling late in the 3rd. It didn't help.

Went to the NHL All-Star Skills competition today, which was preceded by an Old-Timers/Celebrity game. Joe Nieuwendyk played in it (since he was named one of the 100 best NHL'ers the night before), and had an assist on a goal (I think it was by Nicholas Lidstrom). It was fantastic to see Joe skate again, although it was a big strange seeing him in a uniform modeled after the LA Kings white away jersey.
