Matt Moulson article

During a late-night visit to the Swedish Hockey League website, I found a feature story on Cam Abbott '06, the head coach of Rögle BK (https://www.shl.se/artikel/ohwgak0rt-403dd/shl-spotlight-cam-abbott). His twin brother and classmate Chris is the general manager of Rögle BK.
Vesce played there during the lockout season. Is there a Cornell-Rogle conduit?
Quote from: French RageVesce played there during the lockout season. Is there a Cornell-Rogle conduit?
I'm not aware of any pipeline, but I don't know the inside story of Rögle BK's decision to hire the Abbotts about 19 months ago.

The fact that he's only 35 makes me feel less old than I was expecting.
Riley Nash and Hayden Stewart are in Columbus Blue Jackets camp.
I watched a bit of the Islanders-Rangers game and heard Bardreau's name mentioned once. I also saw the Isles assigned Kubiak to Bridgeport.
Justin Krueger (who SCB's facebook page informs me turned 33 on Sunday) got his first goal of the season, the eventual gamewinner in Bern's 4-1 win over Grenoble in the Champions Hockey League: https://www.championshockeyleague.com/en/recaps/bern-grenoble
I don't know if people here know the show "Tanked" on Animal Planet. It's about a company that builds large fish tanks for celebrities and corporations, and tonight I saw an episode from 2017 where they built a tank for the San Jose Sharks.
The episode included a couple of conversations with Douglas Murray. The tank they built included a lot of replica hockey gear, including a mask and one of Doug's hockey sticks.
Islanders have some injury issues, and Cole Bardreau was called up today from Bridgeport. Congrats to Cole!

Agreed. Great article.
It'll be interesting if he plays Sunday against the Flyers. Quite a few of the Flyers players skated with him on the LV Phantoms.
Congrats to Cole Bardreau on his first NHL point, a nice assist, in the Islanders' win over Philly:

Van Massenhoven felt that same bond among his NHL family, too, the league often seeming to be just as close-knit a community. The veteran official saw it during that same injury stint in Florida.
"I'm in the hospital the next day in intensive care — I just had an 11-hour surgery. I open up my eyes and there's Joe Nieuwendyk, who played for the Florida Panthers. He had come to the hospital to visit me the next day. I can't tell you how emotional that made me feel, because he took the time out of his day," Van Massenhoven says.
"The funny part is he brought in a box of donuts, and I'm lying in intensive care. I barely can see, and I go, 'Joe, I don't think I can eat any donuts.' He says, 'Well, that's okay, my kids ate half of them already.'"

Not sure it belongs here, but since Coach IS an alumnus, see the 1984-1985 Press Guide (https://www.amazon.com/1984-1985-Cornell-Hockey-Media-Press/dp/B07NC18T43/ref=sr_1_200?keywords=cORNELL&qid=1572730189&s=sports-collectibles&sr=1-200).
Type Cornell in the sports collectables category and they have a batch of cards of players on the 93-94 team. Vinnie Auger!

Probably right on both counts. Our OT goal was terrific.
Cole Bardreau was sent down to Bridgeport on 11/9
Quote from: nshapiroCole Bardreau was sent down to Bridgeport on 11/9
He was up because the Isles went through a slew of injuries to forwards (while winning TEN IN A FUCKING ROW). Hopefully he'll tear it up down there and get promoted again down the line.
Riley Nash scored his second of the year last night from a very sharp angle against the Caps:
https://www.nhl.com/video/t-311474332/c-4789210
It's also pretty weird to hear them refer to Riley as "a veteran."
Just saw that Angello had a hat trick last night for the Baby Pens against the LV Phantoms.
Riley Nash had an unassisted beauty for his 4th goal of the year last night in Columbus's win against Boston:

The NHL All-Star weekend will include a women's 3 vs. 3 20 minute game, U.S. vs. Canada. Cornellians Rebecca Johnston and Laura Fortino will be 2 of the players on Team Canada.

Watching the LV Phantoms game tonight on TV. The announcer made a comment "Shot blocked by Willcox...as usual." :-D
It's the system.
Happened to tune into the ECHL All-star game(s) on NHL network tonight. Mitch Gillam was in goal for one of the teams.
Unfortunately he gave up 6 goals in a 7 minute 3-on-3 period. ::thud::
Edit: Also a Beau Starrett sighting.

In a 3-on-3 ECHL all-star game, if somebody drops to block a shot, he actually tripped.
The Ivy newsletter via e-mail indicates that only two Cornell players (Nash and Ryan) have played in the NHL in the first half of the season. I guess they don't include brief call-ups.
16 Ivies Compete In NHL First Half
Sixteen former Ivy League men's ice hockey players have competed in National Hockey League (NHL) games during the 2019-20 campaign. The 16 Ivies have accumulated 74 goals, 115 assists and 189 points in 527 NHL games this season.
Five of the Ivy League's six participating institutions have been represented—with Harvard pacing all Ivy League programs with eight former student-athletes making appearances ahead of the NHL All-Star Break.

Willcox with a shorty in tonights Phantoms' game. It looked like a pass, but it went in long side. His first goal of the year. (He was also the intermission guest on the TV broadcast).

Quote from: jkahnCole Bardreau recalled by Isles and playing in place of injured Casey Cizikas.
That's great for Cole, but a bummer for me. I was thinking about going to the Phantoms - Sound-Tigers game tomorrow night to watch his return to Allentown.
Edit: I went. No Bardreau, of course, but Kubiak started for Bridgeport and had a decent game. Willcox was his usual steady self for LV.
Went to the Blue Jackets at the Devils game on the 16th. Brought my Blue Jackets Riley Nash jersey and put it up against the glass during the warmup. Nash saw it and was nice enough to give me a puck. Being a grown-ass man, didn't expect that at all.
Nash was +1 but the Blue Jackets lost in a shootout.
Bardreau placed on waivers by the Islanders today (2/17), probably in anticipation of sending him back down to Bridgeport, unless someone claims him first.
Congrats to Anthony Angello, who just scored his first NHL goal on a deflection in front of the net, putting the Penguins up 2-0 on Toronto!

I was going to post this on the Lacrosse 2020 topic, but I didn't want to take anything away from this year's lacrosse team.
So I'm posting this here, in the Alumni News 2019-20 topic. I know it's in the Hockey forum, but it still seems most appropriate.
If you haven't seen this video of Rob Pannell repeating what people were saying about him yet, you should https://twitter.com/i/status/1237016688098529285.
The back story is that he had a contract with MLL and did not transfer to the new PLL while the old contract was in force. Now it's expired, and he's going to the PLL.

My issue with the PLL (and maybe it's because I'm old) is that there are no geographic ties to the teams, so I have a hard time establishing a rooting interest in, say, the "Whipsnakes". Just doesn't cut it for me.
Does MLL have the same bullshit Investor-Operator model as MLS?
That's a veto for me. It's like rooting for different colors on a Vegas roulette wheel. It's all just the House.

That's a veto for me. It's like rooting for different colors on a Vegas roulette wheel. It's all just the House.
Nogw what they need is motorcycles and a banked track...
Rollerball! When the movie came out I thought that could be done under "Madrid rules." An exhibition was actually played in the Munich Olympic field house at the conclusion of filming.

The article had an interesting aside. The movie was set in 2018.
So where's my rollerball league?!?
So I just learned (via a facebook farewell message from the team) that Justin Krueger's time with SC Bern is at an end. Apparently they announced back November that they wouldn't be renewing his contract after this season. Apparently he's still a free agent. Here's a recent article (in German) https://www.blick.ch/sport/eishockey/nla/papa-ralph-hilft-scb-verteidiger-krueger-auf-jobsuche-id15806551.html "Papa Ralph helps SCB Defenseman Krueger on the job hunt". Some highlights: Justin Krueger played eight years for SCB and won three Swiss Championships, including last year. "My heart belongs to Bern" he says, but as the article points out, his future is elsewhere. With the NHL suspended, Sabres coach Ralph Krueger is acting as his son's agent, and he's in talks with two or three teams in Switzerland. There's no talk of moving to Germany, so Siddharth and I will have to shelve our fantasies of him playing for Löwen Frankfurt or Adler Mannheim. Justin and his wife Eva have two kids now, including a two-year-old daughter with (according to her father) a mean slapshot.

Surprising that Yanni wasn't the first signing, but I guess size matters to some.

Good for him! Congrats, Yanni!
Shame I won't get to see him play. LV doesn't play the western teams.
I just saw a Lehigh Valley Phantoms PSA on PBS39 that had several players, including Reece Willcox, thanking essential workers
surfing through the Direct TV guide and see that game 7 from the 1993 conference finals between the Toronto Maple Leafs and LA Kings is on the NHL Network.
There is a Kent Manderville sighting. The Video is very much like some of the Cornell videos via ivy league network and the others before it - herky jerky. So not so weird to watch.
1993.... I have fond memories of that spring. I was a very naive and optimistic 20 something grad student at Cornell. Now I'm pessimistic and cranky.

11 straight losses. That's all I remember.

Anne and I were at each of them.
I was giving a noted Cornell hockey program figure a lift back to the hotel after the loss in Troy and we passed Brian walking down the side of the road, and he said, "you missed."
NHL Playoff Cornellians:
Riley Nash and his Blue Jackets play the Leafs tonight in Game 3 at 8 Eastern.
Anthony Angello is on the Penguins playoff roster but has not dressed in the 3 games played to date.

Play him at defenseman. He can't be worse than Jack Johnson.
Still pissed that Jacob MacDonald didnt make the roster for the Avalanche albeit coming so close. :'(

Riley Nash scored lasr night in the Blue Jacket's loss to Tampa Bay.
And during today's Dallas-Calgary game, Pierre McGuire mentioned a few of today's hockey birthdays, which included Brent Brekke,
A former staff member moves on (https://athletics.stolaf.edu/news/2020/8/26/russell-joins-mens-hockey-staff-as-assistant-coach.aspx).
The Penguins have extended a qualifying offer to A. Angello as one of their Restricted Free Agents.

When the Pens run with youth down the stretch, they do well. When they trade for old bottom-line forwards, they get bounced early.

Ha. Considering that they traded for 40 year old Patrick Marleau...

Clicked through that link because I had no idea who @finfre23 was. It's finley frechette from the women's team who's hosting that big apple broadcast above.
She's been doing a podcast centered on the women's team with 20 something episodes so far. Have a feeling there may well be people here who are interested. Looks like it's hosted in many places; here's one accessible link.
