Troy Davenport goes to Italy. (http://www.ecachockey.com/men/members/cornell/20133101_DavenportSignValpelliceItaly)
Aside from the Davenport item, the ECAC homepage is a complete QPac love-fest today.
Not every night you see this: a too-many-men call with eight skaters caught on the ice. Islanders at Devils, Islanders' Tavares-Moulson line is slow getting off ice with 1:30 to play and next line is on too quick, Islanders whistled for too many men. Islanders still win 5-4 on their own PPG in OT. Moulson got a goal (4th) and also was the victim of the OT cross-check that led to the Islanders' winning PP.
I saw that. I haven't even seen that many skaters on the ice in my boys' youth hockey games. Tavares is a beast and Moulson is playing well. Not sure if it's too soon to say anything but the Islanders look much improved......

It's way too early. The pp looks great and the offense is a wonder, but the defense is having troubles and we are always one Nabokov away from the endless torment that is DP.
It's great to see Matt playing well, and playing with such a perfect linemate.
The lockout helps them. Late-October to November has period the last couple seasons where they decide not to win any games.

To be honest, 1994-2012 was the period where we decided not to win any games.

Damn it! Nailed me in the last paragraph after setting me up in the fourth-to-last.
That tall, goofy goalie might be onto something with this writing thing.
Don Cherry gave props to Moulson and Tavares during Hockey Night in Canada last night as the reason the Islanders are winning this year. He then showed some examples of Moulson scoring goals because he keeps his stick on the ice, saying that most players would have it in the air on those plays. Cherry later mentioned chatting with Moulson's dad recently at a midget skate.
Wow, playing hockey in Italy sounds SO MUCH BETTER than playing hockey in Russia/Estonia/Lithuania. Although it's probably not.

Sunday's Devils broadcast of the Devils-Islanders (scoreless for 56:05 then 3-0 Devils final, Matt Moulson +/-0), there was a mention that Moulson was drafted 263rd in 2003 and only 16 or 17 players drafted higher have scored more from that class.
He's 18th in terms of goals scored and 28th in terms of total points for the 2003 draft. Those ahead of him have played far more games as well. 2003 NHL Draft (http://www.hockeydb.com/ihdb/draft/nhl2003e.html)
You can click on goals or points at the top of the page to sort.......Stempniak and Pavelski also are nice "value" picks from the 2003 draft.

Quote from: billhowardIs goalie David McKee still playing? A year ago he spent time with Quad Cities and Peoria.
His HockeyDB page doesn't list a current team and he doesn't show up as on anyone's roster in the AHL, ECHL, or CHL. He might be playing in Europe; the HockeyDB player pages don't get updated as regularly for guys playing over there.
The Quad Cities 2012-13 preview (http://minorleaguehockeyreport.com/?p=130) lists McKee as "leaving the flock."

Brendon Nash Tweet: In their third AHL season, brothers Riley and Brendon Nash are finally set to go head-to-head for first time. Story: http://gocheckers.com/news/checkers/?article_id=1352
Quote from: Charlotte CheckersEven though they've spent the past three seasons in the same league, brothers Riley and Brendon Nash weren't sure they would ever get the opportunity they'll get this weekend.
For the first time, the two will go head-to-head when Brendon's San Antonio Rampage visit Riley's Checkers for games on Saturday and Sunday [2/10, 2/11]. Those meetings will not only mark the first time they've crossed paths in the AHL, but the first time they've played a competitive game against each other at any level.
It will be completely new experience for the two, who are much more accustomed to playing together, as they did for three seasons at Cornell University from 2007 to 2010.

Scrivens into the Leafs-Flyers game after Reimer injury.

Matt added another powerplay goal in the 3rd, but it wasn't enough as the Canes came back to win 6-4.
Scrivens gets 1st star in relief performance of injured Reimer with 1 goal on 33 shots.
Does the new Leafs mask still have the Cornell crest like the old one? I couldn't find a shot with the back left of the new mask.

Long drive from Princeton.
And seriously long drive from all other areas of the civilized world including Hanover. They'll be able to hang glide to Lake Placid next year of we get a noreaster that weekend.
Quote from: Jim HylaQ might bring a bunch, but the others??? You're right.
Q should draw because they are kicking so much ass during the RS -- that bandwagon must be getting full.
Princeton might have been OK (this is the best they're ever going to get for a site), but they have no prior years to build on and first timers are usually weak.
If Harvard made a run and upset Q in the QF and we didn't make it, that would be the Perfect Storm of impossible location and poor traveling bases. There'd be more people in the Ducktown Tavern than the stands.

Moulson gets a goal and two assists in a three minute span at end of second period. 3-0 over Devils.
Scrivens shuts out Ottawa.
Damn fine night for alumni. Matt added another assist to go 1-3-4. Ben stopped 34 shots as Toronto was actually outshot.
The only bad thing is Matt's nhl.com photo (http://www.nhl.com/ice/player.htm?id=8470852) looks like separated at birth with Jack Elam.

Thanks, that is what I suspected, though I was hoping it was for "flu-like symptoms" or other temporary illness. I know he hasn't been lighting it up on the scoreboard, but it seems like he was holding his own defensively (+3, FWIW).

QuoteAndreas Nodl skated in Skinner's place on the second line in Saturday's practice, but Muller said that's not how the combinations will shake out on Monday. Already carrying an extra forward, the team has a few options, a recall from Charlotte still being one of them.

Quote from: Aaron PortzlineSean Collins made his NHL debut, playing left wing on a line with Brassard and Umberger. Collins and Umberger won a ton of pucks. Umberger and Brassard each had five shots on goal, tied for the game-high. Collins played 15:31 over 22 shifts and got rave reviews after the game.
Greening gets the first goal of the game against the Islanders (2nd of season), a PPG scored off his own rebound.
Ben Scrivens's hot streak came to an end tonight against Tampa Bay when he was pulled after giving up 4 goals on 13 shots including a big-time softie from Harvard alum, Alex Killorn.
Murray threw a couple of big hits against the Blues tonight, but also took a hard hit behind his own net and skated around gingerly for a while. Sharks won 2-1, for their first win since January.

Thank you.
My pleasure.
Moulson with two PP goals so far with 3 minutes left in the 2nd. His team is losing, however, as he plays for the Islanders.
Scrivens made 32 saves in a 3-1 win over Buffalo. 5-4-0, .931, 2.10 on the season...not too bad.
Also, Collins was a healthy scratch tonight.

Probably going to hear that a lot.

Moulson is now 2nd in the NHL in PPGs with 6 (behind James Neal's 8), although he has 0 GWGs.

And Colin Greening picked up an assist on the game tying goal in the Sens shootout win over the NYR. **]

O'Byrne, Col
Greening, Ott
Scrivens, Tor
R. Nash, Car
Collins, Cmb
Any others?

Jordan wasn't taunting. He's an Islanders fan, he's just a realistic one.

I understand that. This was Esprit de Corps.

What happened to Byron Bitz? I can't find any information on him.
Bitz is a free agent. His 1-year deal with Vancouver expired over the summer and no has picked him up yet.

So his NHL career could end on a boarding penalty and suspension?

Not current, but having looked at your historical summary, one apparently qualifies if they dress for a game, even if they don't play (David McKee). That being the case, Dave Elenbaas should be on the list for the '75-76 and '76-'77 seasons, as he was often called up when Dryden or Laroque were banged up, but never got off the bench.

My mistake.
Colin Greening had Ben's number tonight... 2 assists and then the GWG with seconds remaining. **]
(sorry, but I have a bigger "boy crush" on Colin compared to Ben).
Greening scores on Scrivens for the game winner 3-2. Colin 1g 2a. 1st star of game. Scrivens played well.
Quote from: flyersgolfGreening scores on Scrivens for the game winner 3-2. Colin 1g 2a. 1st star of game. Scrivens played well.
The host of the NHL-network's highlight show was ripping Scrivens for holding onto the puck and taking a whistle for a face-off in the leafs end with ~ 30 seconds left in tied game. The host thought Scrivens had ample time to play the puck and keep it moving. Sens win the face-off and score.
Greening must have been talking to the HNIC guys, because NHL-Network got Eric Condra for the post-game interview.

Yes, Greening was interviewed on HNIC. Said that he hated having to score against Ben, but you've got to do what you you've to do. They showed several pictures with Colin and Ben together, including a team photo from the ECAC championship.

All seven played today.
Riley Nash got his first NHL point tonight in Carolina's 5-2 loss to Tampa Bay, setting up Drayson Bowman for a one-timer with a nice feed off the half-boards.
Moulson with 2 more assists in a 4-0 win. 2-2-4 in the last brace bring him to 9-12-21, second only to The Linemate.
Moulson's red-hot streak continues tonight as he already has a goal and an assist in the first period of the Islanders game against Carolina.

If this keeps up he will pass Gretzky in 4869.

4869? Would have happened long ago if he was among the Chosen.

I'm amazed nobody went for the Islanders joke.
Scrivens is NHL Players' Association Player of the Week. (http://www.nhlpa.com/news/player-of-the-week-ben-scrivens)
Apparently the big money maker at a Shark's charity auction was a "culinary experience with Doug Murray"; I'm curious as to what that entails.

According to an AP report, Moulson's consecutive game streak ended last night: "Islanders LW Matt Moulson's games-played streak stands at 266. The only Islanders with longer streaks are Billy Harris (576) and Bobby Nystrom (301)"
I did not see any report on an injury, does anyone know why he did not play against the Bruins?

The AP report was wrong. I watched about 2 minutes of that game and it happened to fall during one of Moulson's shifts. Yep, he was definitely playing.

Saw Riley Nash play last night in Washington. He didn't have a very good game and looked sluggish out there. Of course, the same could have been said for the entire Hurricanes roster. The Caps pretty much dominated.

Excellent. You beat the rest of us to the punchline. The comic playing for the upscale crowd, Ugarte, say, would just deadpan, "Ikea meatballs" and leave it to the audience to have read the news.

4 more eyes that saw Moulson on the ice last night v. the B's.

Ryan O'Byrne has a goal tonight, as Colorado trails Calgary 4-2 after 2.
When I was watching the Islanders-Bruins game earlier this week, they showed a graphic that the Islanders' top line with Moulson and Tavares had 27 goals and the rest of the team had 26. They said the team was "top heavy."
