A somewhat discombobulated interview with Douglas Murray, including some stuff about Cornell and the UberTap.

Elie, you might have too much time on your hands if you are trolling through YouTube for bad informercials ;-).
Let's hope he gets promoted to the big club soon or else he'll be type-casted into hawking Shamwows (https://www.shamwow.com/default.aspx?did=&refcode=1002) and cat scratchers (https://www.emerycat.com/flare/next?tag=im%7Csm%7Cgo%7Cgn&a_aid=011&a_bid=8824726c&chan=G&data1=GN) on late night TV and during NC$$ playoff hockey games :-P.

Wow.
A few observations: Riley didn't even get to say a line in this uh, ad. I bet Michal Jordan must be pretty popular playing in North Carolina. The guy at the end...if he was trying to look a lot like Ricky Gervais, he succeeded.

Instead of recording an infomercial, Riley Nash and his team put on a clinic against the Syracuse Crunch last night. They won 10-3, scoring 8 goals in the second period, including "two goals in a span of 21 seconds, three in 1:07, four in 1:41, five in 2:41, six in 3:39, seven in 7:15, and eight in a span of 13:44." Riley was the only two goal scorer for the Checkers.
This reminds me of a game I saw in Syracuse over Thanksgiving in 1998 when Providence scored an AHL-record 10 goals in the first period, en route to a 14-2 victory.

Douglas Murray notches his first goal of the year, albeit in a losing effort to Buffalo as the Sharks lose 6-3.

Had never seen this before (as near as I can tell, it is legitimate, and, of course, forever). Andy Iles definitely has a team to go to someday...

It's the Belfast Giants doing Mariah Carey's "All I Want For Christmas". Spotted early on was a #5 Gleed jersey, yup, one of ours. Since I can't put names to faces, I have no idea if Jon Gleed actually appears in the video.

And in a cruel twist of irony, the video of an Irish team is unavailable outside the US because it contains content belonging to Sony. I'll have to remember to check back when I'm in the US over Christmas...

Then again, do you think that after Justin Milo (http://web.minorleaguebaseball.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20101201&content_id=16234350&vkey=news_t233&fext=.jsp&sid=t233) transferred to Vermont Mike ever thought of singing this (http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=video&cd=1&ved=0CDwQtwIwAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3Dz8LmMtScH3g&rct=j&q=all%20i%20want%20for%20christmas%20is%20jews&ei=nRsJTdXJE5C-sAPY7ujxDg&usg=AFQjCNFeb7Zc1djSO9IJSp5iNCkdsnBtZw&cad=rja)?
That song started badly, like Mariah Carey writhing with something less than ecstacy, something closer to full body diaper rash. It rewards those who stuck it through to the second half when the lyrics diverged from All I Want For Christmas: "They may have killed our Savior / That's not the best behavior / That's okay, he rose again three days later."

Well, the original with Mariah Carey (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yXQViqx6GMY) has something like 22.5 million hits. This version has almost 1.2 million! That's still not too shabby.

Which would be a line from Adam Sandler's Chanukah Song I (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vrd9p47MPHg). You can see from the original lyics including this version with worst-spelled lyrics of all time (http://www.lyrics007.com/Adam%20Sandler%20Lyrics/Chanukah%20Song%20Lyrics.html), any song. Actually, no, there must be worse; the bar is set low. But the transcriptionist is off to a good start with an alternative to yarmulke, makes Rod Carew sound faintly Lebanese, and then turns "in show biz" to "rich o' biz." And there is no wrong spelling of Chanukah. (Maybe Sandler could produce a Semitic follow-up to "A Day Without a Mexican (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0377744/).")
Put on your yamakah,
here comes Hanukah,
so much funnukah to celebrate Hanukah,
...
OJ Simpson,
NOT A JEW!,
but geuss who is?,
Hall o' famer Rod Karou!
We got Ann Landers and her sister Dear Abby,
Harrison Fords a quater Jewish!,
NOT TO SHABBY!
Some people think,
Ebaniser Scrooge is,
well he's not but geuss who is?,
all three Stooges!!!
So many Jews are rich o' biz, [

Tom Cruise isn't,

Getting back to hockey from the sideshow above...
Ryan O'Byrne notched an assist last night in Colorado's game against Chicago. He's 20th in the NHL in +/- at +11 and has been logging over 20 mins of ice time a night. Sounds like he's found a good fit in Colorado, which was desperate for defensemen when it picked him up from Montreal.

It is important to remember there was a time before we knew Adam Sandler sucked. And that time was December 1990, when he did TCS on SNL the first time.
FWIW, it is "Carew."

I said a time before
we knew he sucked. I am celebrating our lost innocence.
There was even a time before we knew Jim Carrey sucked, and that was when he was on ILC, oddly, also in 1990.
Oh 1990, those halcyon days...
Matt Moulson notches his 11th goal of the season as the Islanders have taken a rare three-goal lead over Anaheim in the second period.

No, I knew he sucked back then. I've never liked Adam Sandler.
Jim Carrey didn't jump the shark until The Mask.

He had me fooled for a while. But I was on to Jimmy Fallon from the beginning.

When will the Avs realize that he sucks and doesn't deserve all that ice time? :-}
the moulson goal was a beauty... stole the puck and put it top shelf on the backhand
I'm sure there are more appropriate threads for this but this is just too cool to bury in JSID: A former AIC goalie - and current HS hockey coach - got a one-game stint with the Coyotes when Bryzgalov got the flu and Phoenix needed a backup goalie on VERY short notice.

J-S Giguere's latest groin reinjury (http://www.640toronto.com/Blogs/EatSleepLeafs/BlogEntry.aspx?BlogEntryID=10182703) has again had a trickle-down effect and brought Ben Scrivens back to the Toronto Marlies (http://www.oursportscentral.com/services/releases/?id=4129411).
In addition, I just realized today that Mike Iggulden will play for Team Canada in the Spengler Cup (http://www.hockeycanada.ca/index.php/ci_id/75137/la_id/1/season_id/147514/profile_id/147683/team_id/81377/ss_id/74009/) later this month.
Colin Greening scored a goal and got in a fight tonight against Jon Mirasty of the Syracuse Crunch. Mirasty is a real heavy-weight. He had 269 PIM in just 53 games last season. I'll try to post video, but I sure hope Greening held his own.
From the Binghamton Sens blog in the Binghamton paper:
Quote from: Joy LindseyEventually, three individual shoving matches were going on around Levasseur, and then Greening and Mirasty's turned ugly, leading to Greening's second pro fight.
Greening held his ground, and even landed some big punches, which surprised me considering he spent the last four years fight-free at Cornell while Mirasty was piling up the penalty minutes. Though nothing bad came of it for the B-Sens, Kleinendorst didn't really think it was a necessary exchange.
"I don't know," Kleinendorst said. "The problem there was we got our lead too big, too quick. Frankie's an intelligent guy, and he knew, and he knows, there's no reason to at that point. Mirasty, up to that point, had been honest. He plays a certain way, and I thought that he played the way that he needs to play, and there was no disrespect. I don't exactly know what started that, but I think we could have done without it."
Daugavins had a slightly different take.
"It's end of the game, it's 7-0, and players like Mirasty, they just try to look for trouble," Daugavins said. "I think Frankie did a good job not fighting him, because there's no need of getting injury on a guy like him who can't play hockey. He is just out there to find somebody to fight, and every time he touches the puck, it's like advantage for our team because he's losing it and we get a chance to go on offense. Greening stepped up and did very good, because he probably didn't want to fight, but he did really good. I was very impressed with him."
The AP has a good article on Ryan O'Byrne adjusting well to his new team (http://www.gazette.com/sports/denver-109839-finds-home.html).
Six more Binghamton Sens games this season will be on Time Warner.

Douglas Murray doesn't appear in this Sharks mock holiday album commercial (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_OnXE0r2Wo4&feature=player_embedded), but he gets mentioned at about 55 seconds in.
Moulson won't get a point, but he setup the play and got the "third assist" and a plus on an overtime goal Tavares just scored.
Good news: Isles up 3-zip early on NJ.
Bad news: Moulson hasn't been out for his last couple shifts and may have gone to the lockeroom.
Matt Moulson got checked or elbowed in the head by Anton Volchenkov on the first shift of the game. Matt went to the dressing room and missed several shifts before returning and getting a plus on John Tavares's goal. Matt stayed in the dressing room, however, for the start of the second period.
Edit: Matt did not return to the game after the first intermission. The Islanders lone beat reporter had no update on Matt's condition or symptoms.

Matt Moulson didn't miss any games. After passing his neurological tests (http://www.newsday.com/sports/hockey/islanders/isles-files-1.812028/roloson-moulson-will-play-if-isles-do-1.2569689), he played 21½ minutes in the Islanders' 4-1 win over the Habs last night (http://www.nhl.com/ice/boxscore.htm?id=2010020521).

You mean you weren't amused by the Rangers' broadcasters spending the first half of the game paying lip service to Roloson for not giving up soft goals, and then Roloson proceeding to give up three bad ones in the second half of the game?
