You can also start saving your pennies, dimes and c-notes for a NYI Matt Moulson game worn jersey. (http://islanders.nhl.com/club/news.htm?id=505065) At $650, you will need more c-notes than pennies ::wow::.

Interesting that Moulson and Schremp are the only two players with all five jerseys already sold (as of this writing). Only four Tavares jerseys are sold at $5,500!
According to Bob McKenzie, Bitz is headed to Florida as part of a package for Dennis Seidenberg.
Byron Bitz just got moved to the Panthers.
Edit: Got a Cornell shout-out and lots of praise for Bitz on TSN Tradecentre.

Maybe, especially if you wait until I get the 35 mm film developed. Yes, it's true, I am probably one of the dozen or so people in the US without a digital camera.

Bitz isn't in the line-up tonight against Philly (His flight to the sunshine state didn't arrive in time for the opening face-off). Just over 2 minutes into the game and already there have been 3 fights, and one minor penalty to FL. At this rate, the Panthers penalty box will need an addition!
Bitz's first interview with the local beat writers (http://panthers.nhl.com/index.html). Go to the "post-practice" link.
Rooting for him wherever he goes... but it was nice having him on the Bruins!
Haha... interesting "jock camera shot" in the beginning... oops!
EDIT: Not sure if this was posted on the forum, but here is the video of "We Want BITZ!" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tfEfDfJsbgQ
In his Panther debut, Bitz will be skating on the 2nd line (http://panthers.nhl.com/club/news.htm?id=520297&navid=DL%7CFLA%7Chome) with Corey Stillman and Steven Reinprecht.
Matt Moulson scored his 23rd goal of the year in the Isles's 3-2 loss to Boston this afternoon.
No points for Bitz in his Florida debut, but he did see some significant PP time (1:18) for the first time in his NHL career.
Vesce in the lineup tonight, just interviewed on CSN Bay Area. They have him centering the fourth line (according to the announcer).

Quote from: French RageQuote from: Flyers1037Vesce in the lineup tonight, just interviewed on CSN Bay Area. They have him centering the fourth line (according to the announcer).

My assumption is he was brought up to replace Scott Nichol who is out with a shoulder injury from the hit by Montreal's Laperierre, out 7-10 days.
Bitz looked pretty good tonight, but in the last 5 min or so of a then 2-1 game his spot on Stillman's line was taken by Kreps. Probably to minimize mix-up in communications between new teammates rather than anything Bitz did wrong during the game.
Is Bitz really that tall, or is Stillman really that short? Stillman barely came up to Bitz's shoulders. My brother somehow managed to get our seats upgraded from the 400 nosebleeds to 7 rows behind the goal FL defends twice. So yes, I could see the height difference.

Stillman is listed at 6'0", Bitz at 6'5".
Matt Moulson scores a powerplay goal (his 24th of the year) as the Isles are tied with St. Louis 1-1 at the end of the 2nd.
Quote from: ESPN.comSharks D Douglas Murray did not play the third period after hurting himself while blocking a shot.
Here's hoping just a bruise and a quick recovery! LGR

Especially by Saturday's game dammit!!
Sorry French Rage:
Quote from: espn.comThe Sharks recalled D Jason Demers from Worcester before the game to replace Douglas Murray, who is day to day after being hit in the skate by a slap shot Thursday against Nashville.
The latest says Douglas is back:
Quote from: David Pollack, Bay Area News GroupsANAHEIM — Looks as if Douglass Murray is only going to miss one game because of the injury suffered while blocking that shot against Nashville.
The big defenseman skated this morning and word here at the Honda Center is that Murray will be in the lineup tonight against the Ducks.
Matt Moulson scores his 25th of the year on the powerplay again in a 4-1 Islanders win over Toronto.
Doug Dadswell just got a mention by Mike Emrick in the Devils-Bruins game. Emrick was paraphrasing a conversation with Brodeur abour Brodeur's first training camp, the goalies with whom he was competing and Brodeur's not knowing if he would make it as a pro.
Moulson with one assist in the first period against Vancouver. I meant to go, had the date circled on my calendar and everything, but I ran out of money. :`-(

That assist came on Harvard's Dylan Reese's first NHL goal.
Moulson now with a goal. 4-2 Isles, end of second.
Quote from: Lauren '06Moulson now with a goal. 4-2 Isles, end of second.
Matt played a great game, was winning battles for the puck all night long. Billy Jaffe (doing color) referred several times to "the arrogant Vancouver press" who think they know hockey and couldn't even get Matt's name right, calling him "Matt Coulson" in both the article and in their list of Islander leading scorers. I found this link to the article:
http://www.faceoff.com/hockey/teams/story.html?id=2687401
Rob Carlin joked with Matt about it in an interview between the 2nd and 3rd.
It was also nice for this Isles fan from the old days to hear Jiggs McDonald doing the play-by-play on MSG last night.
Although it speaks as much to Islanders futility as it does to alumni prowess, Moulson has become the first Islander to score 25+ goals in a season since '06-'07.
I hope they remember his name now. Matt had a nice screen on the first goal as well.

Matt also made NHL.com's "Quote of the Day""
Quote from: QUOTE OF THE DAY \\"Hopefully after this game, in my home country, they can spell my name right. (The writer) seems to think my name is Coulson. I'm not going to lie -- it ticked me off.\\" -- Islanders' LW Matt Moulson after scoring his team-high 26th goal Tuesday in Vancouver
In Sharks news, Murray was back on the ice last night against the Dallas Stars and was a -2 in an 8-2 loss.
Article discussing Mark McCutcheon returning from a two-game suspension to record his first pro hat trick, along with his influence on Evan Barlow, who is the Steelheads' leading scorer.

Byron Bitz, back in the Florida lineup after healing a groin injury, scored his first goal as a Panther in a 3-1 loss to Buffalo.

Matt Moulson's hair (http://www.jtbourne.com/isles-thumped-3d-moulsons-hair-win/) gets some love in Justin Bourne's blog. For those of you have been watching the regionals on ESPNU and suffering through the same 4 commercials, don't click on the YouTube link at the bottom of the blog... unless you really like cats.

Anyone notice the vast majority are from the late 80s? Any reason why that time period happened to produce so many?
Quote from: French RageAnyone notice the vast majority are from the late 80s? Any reason why that time period happened to produce so many?
In the late 70's and early 80's, additional expansion & WHA integration created a demand for more players. The USSR and Czechoslovakia weren't freely exporting players yet, so the early 80's are when the NHL finally started to draft college players in numbers. Give them some time to mature and voila!
Murray with a big hit on Southerby (sp?), though unfortunately he gets the pass off on a Star's goal.
Moulson (33) closing in on Kent Manderville (37) for second all-time in NHL goals among Cornell hockey alumni. After that he'll have a little bit of work.

I understand that Joe was quite the gentleman...but I believe he had more than 158 penalty minutes
Quote from: Flames66I understand that Joe was quite the gentleman...but I believe he had more than 158 penalty minutes
You are correct! 158 is his number of postseason games (http://hockeydb.com/ihdb/stats/pdisplay.php?pid=3969), which is the column next to penalty minutes. O'Byrne may be catching up to Murray, with 175 PIM (http://hockeydb.com/ihdb/stats/pdisplay.php?pid=72665), but neither are close to Nieuwendyk (677) yet.
