Brian Ferlin got recalled from Providence (http://nesn.com/2014/10/bruins-place-david-krejci-on-injured-reserve-among-eight-roster-moves/), so who knows, maybe he'll play for Boston to start the season.

The B's have a bazillion injuries, correct? Go Ferlin!

QuoteIf the showcasing of the defenseman's "speed" the last two NHL seasons has been any indication, his future in the league is bleak and Europe may very well be his final landing spot.
Ouch.

Nor listed as a scratch.
Before 2007, in Limbo was a possibility for Ferlin.
Bobby Robbins, who toiled 9 years in the minors, played his first NHL game for the B's last night. Nice story. Craig Cunningham, another rookie, played in just his 3rd NHL game. I would think that the B's are going to give some of these young guys, including Ferlin, a few games each to see who has NHL mojo.
Always great watching the Flyers lose.....

During the broadcast his name was mentioned. They said he was being used in some sort of cap limit trick built around injuries of senior players. I don;t know the details, but it sounds like he'll be moved back and forth between Boston and Providence with no chance of playing time in the bigs.
Does anyone know what is up with Colin Greening? He was not in the line-up for last night's game v. the Predators (at least according to the box score on nhl.com).
Ben Scrivens had a rough night in the Oilers 5-2 loss to Calgary.
Dunno about Colin, but he did have a puff piece (http://thepinkpuck.com/2014/10/08/growing-up-hockey-senators-colin-greening/) written about him 2 days ago.
Greening was a healthy scratch
"Head coach Paul MacLean says the three healthy scratches know where they stand. 'Yesterday we had extensive conversations...at this point in time we can only play 20 guys,' MacLean said. 'Based on how training camp went, the best 20 players are in the lineup tonight.'"

I think they call that a "message."
Quote from: TrotskyI think they call that a "message."
At the end of the pre-season, there was a lot of chatter on Senators fan sites and blogs about Greening being placed on waivers or traded, but nothing of that nature has happened yet. Hopefully Colin will at least get a chance in the lineup in the next game or two.

TOI 11:29, barely edging out Chris Neil, who had 11:17, for least time on the ice. One shot. 4 hits, tied with three others for second place on the team tonight.
He was apparently commended post game by MacLean for his physical play.

NBC Sports is broadcasting a battle of the winless tonight, as Riley Nash and the Hurricanes take on Matt Moulson and the Sabres.
Riley Nash pots his 1st of the season to tie things at 1 in the 2nd period.
This article (http://www.metrowestdailynews.com/article/20140915/Blogs/140917747) about Ferlin also is good PR for Schafer and Cornell program. It's also a good argument for our continuing participation in the Florida tournament!
That's a good piece. I hope Ferlin talks up Cornell when he visits friends in FL. We really need to get a guy on a FL team, too.
eek

It's the system, or lack thereof...
I thought Riley Nash looked pretty good for the Hurricanes against the Rangers last night. He seemed to be getting a lot of minutes late in the tied third period and into overtime, and won 71% of his faceoffs (though just about everyone on Carolina was dominating the Rangers on faceoffs).
It is weird rooting for Dominic Moore, Lee Stempniak, Tanner Glass and Marty St. Louis, and against Riley Nash.
the MSG commentators mentioned his name quite a few times and also made sure to note what a really good game he was having.

This is good to hear; he was nearly invisible against the Isles.

Man, it was depressing knowing that Moulson would move at last year's deadline and that my Penguins needed a winger. And they go get Lee Goddamned Stempniak.
As much as it pains me to say it, I liked Glass's effort on the 4th line.

Although Carolina is still winless, Riley Nash was 2nd on the team in ice-time in last night's 3-1 loss to Winnipeg: 22:21, eclipsing most of the team's defensemen.

Sorry, Buffalo:
Quote from: "So Cornell is in the Christmas Tournament every year down in Florida and they have a youth tournament every year," Ferlin said, referring to the Florida Hockey Classic that Cornell hosts annually in Estero, Fla. "I would play in that [youth] tournament, when I was 13, 14. I had a Cornell hat and I always kind of liked the team. ... I don't know, I just knew from that tournament I always liked them."
Of course, if every kid who liked Cornell played for the school, the Big Red would be worse than their western New York neighbors, the Buffalo Sabres. Cornell coach Mike Schafer recalls seeing Ferlin play at a select festival in Rochester, an event which Ferlin played "very, very well" in. It's tournaments like those, ones that pit Florida's best against the top talent across the country, where Schafer could truly determine if Ferlin was a talent worth recruiting.
Most Sabres fans would appreciate the writer for being kind.

This includes his blanking of Washington in the third period handing them their first loss of the season.
Scrivens's hot-streak continued with a 3-0 blanking of Montreal last night.

Brings our active number to 5 (http://www.tbrw.info/?/players/cornell_NHL_by_Year.html) IINM.
Armand de Swardt caught on with the Missouri Mavericks (ECHL) for their first game, but was released 2 days ago.
With Colin Greening not suiting up for most of Ottawa's games and the Canes struggling at the same time, I wouldn't be surprised if Ron Francis tried to make a trade for Colin to unite him with Riley Nash. Francis traded for Nash's draft rights after Riley's junior year (Colin's senior year) after watching several Cornell games, as Francis's daughter was a Cornell student at the time.
Something's gotta give in Ottawa..........a consistent healthy scratch making $2.65mm isn't sustainable. They have to at least showcase Greening if they're going to try and trade him.

He had fourth line TOI (13 shifts for 9:30) and was a -1 with 1 shot in a 4-1 loss.
Riley Nash scored his 3rd goal of the season in Carolina's 4-1 win over Columbus tonight, earning him the 2nd star of the game.
Fortunately Scrivens didn't start for Edmonton last night against the Flyers. That way I didn't have to root against him. ::rolleyes::
