LeNeveu had 38 saves on 40 shots but lost to Cleveland. The game was decided by a 16 round shootout ::twitch:: (Lenny stopped 13 of 16) Murray didn't play again, I assume his hip is still bothering him.
Nice article on Vesce

Anybody want to take a trip to Angleholm, Sweden? :-D
In today's "sports transactions:"

He's not yet an alum, but I didn't know where else to post

Murray saw his first action in quite as Cleveland beat San Antonio, 3-2. He assisted on a powerplay goal early in the first period and got a 5 minute major for fighting in the middle of the second.
Baby must have been feeling Murray's vibe, he too had a fighting major last night!::fight::
I'm a bit out of touch with who's where and what the team's respective website is. Anybody got a rundown with links?
Steven Baby is with the Chicago Wolves (AHL)
Doug Murray is with the Cleveland Barons (AHL)
David LeNeveu and Jean-Marc Pelletier are with the Utah Grizzlies (AHL)
Try http://www.theahl.com for starters for the above.
Vesce is with Rogle (Swedish Elite League)

A friend of mine tipped me off to this little tidbit, which many of you have probably already seen:

Let the "hell of a kid, hell of a player" remarks commence.
Funny thing you said "hell of a kid, hell of a player" because while I was reading it, I was thinking, look how far he has come!
I lived with him, Baby, Murray, and Gartman during our freshman year on West and Sam was not always a hell of a player. Hell of a kid, hell of a worker, but during his freshman year he was probably the worst skater I've seen play for Cornell (think Happy Gilmore--and yeah, I know, I haven't been around for long). He was the guy that would put a nasty puck-through-the-defenders-legs one-on-one move, maybe score, but then go crashing into the back boards during practice--it was ugly. You could always see Murray, Baby, and Sam doing shuttle runs in the court yard of Boldt...I think it was a stroke of genius to get Sam living with Baby. It's too bad Murray didn't live with a skater that he could have influenced. Sam definitely panned out.
Hehhehheh. I know, I know, "8 games, no goals, gonna be cut..." I remember freshman year.
Check out the box score for the Cleveland Barons last night. Murray got the game winning shoot out goal!::wow::
Good article about the Baron's game last night, "Murray gets his shot, helps the Barons win"

I should've braved the weather and gone to the game! :-(
Here is some more on "Murray's Move"....

The latest on LeNeveu and Pelletier in Utah (AHL):
On 12/22, Lenny stopped 28 shots in a 4-2 win, 2 days after Pelletier allowed 6 goals on 36 shots in a 6-1 loss.
Their stats for the season so far:
LeNeveu: 5-12, 2.92 GAA, .907 sv%
Pelletier: 4-7, 4.09 GAA, .885 sv%
In the ECHL:
Matt Underhill had 48 saves, allowing only a power play goal, in a 4-1 Mississippi win on Sunday night. Next week, I'm going to go to a Toledo/Dayton game. Sam Paolini of course plays for Toledo, and UNH alum Mike Ayers is Dayton's goaltender.

Neither did any of us. That's the beauty of it. They did it all by themselves
:-D
Very good point...I wasn't there to see it :`(
Final 2004 update:
On Tuesday, LeNeveu stopped only 27 of 33 shots in a 6-0 loss to Manchester. Last night, Pelletier started for Utah against Hartford and had 25 saves in a 2-1 loss.
In the ECHL, Matt Underhill had 35 saves for Mississippi Wednesday night in a 5-2 loss to Reading. He did not start last night. For the season, he has a 5-5 record (plus 1 shootout loss and 2 OT losses), a 2.89 GAA and a .916 save percentage.
Toledo lost back-to-back games on Thursday and Friday nights (1-6, 3-4). Sam Paolini had an assist in each. In 26 games played so far this season, he has 8 goals and 18 assists for 26 points. He leads the team in goals, assists, and points. Interesting side note: next Saturday, on the same night Cornell plays Harvard, Paolini and the Toledo Storm will take on old foe Tyler Kolarik and the Dayton Bombers. (In their previous two meetings this season, Toledo won 6-3 and 5-3. Paolini had a goal and 2 assists in the first game, and Kolarik had a goal in the second.)
LeNeveu seems to be hurt as his team called up another goaltender and he wasn't dressed for tonights game against the wolfpack.

The goaltender that Utah called up is Frank Doyle, who graduated from the University of Maine at the end of last season.
I was at both games, and as far as I know, Leneveu wasn't even there, let alone dressed.
JMP, to his credit, kept both games very close... the first one was 2-1 Wolfpack, and JMP was one of the 3 stars of the game; the second game was 2-2 going into the third period, but three rather spectacular Wolfpack goals later...
