I tend to keep up from my crappy phone using Google Reader's RSS.  RSS just shows new topics now, but not new posts.  Is RSS going away?  Not a disaster for me if it is, but just thought I'd ask.

OK, got it. There are actually RSS feeds embedded on each page with and without replies. At least here if I click and hold the RSS link, I can pick which one I want. The only difference is ",replies=1" added to the feed URL, so you should be able to change that in your reader.

Yup -- for "Men's Hockey" I fed it http://elf.elynah.com/feed.php?1,replies=1 and it works just as before.  Thanks very much!

Speculation in The Hamilton Speculator Spectator was that it would be a short stint.  Let's hope for O'B that it is.

Quote from: Garry McKay, The Hamilton Spectator O'Byrne was pretty happy about getting to play with the Bulldogs tonight and tomorrow evening.

The 6-foot-6, 228-pounder is here on a conditioning stint. It can't be any longer than a couple of weeks and could be as little as a few days.

Video feature of the week from the most recent Manchester Monarchs PR email:

Matt Moulson - Desire

Well, new month and more bad news -- Moulson out with what appears to be a serious knee injury.

Quote from: Dan Hickling, New England Hockey JournalThe Manchester Monarchs suffered two devastating injuries in the same game, Sunday's 4-0 loss at Portland. Both right winger Matt Moulson and center Jason Azevedo suffered what initially appeared to be serious knee injuries, both of which occurred on contact plays. Moulson suffered his in the first period after heading into the corner to make a hit. Azevedo, who had held a hot scoring hand (4 goals, 4 assists in eight games), absorbed a crushing check into the boards by Portland defenseman Mike Weber, and was unable to get to his feet. He had to be helped off the ice.

 
"They were two of our top scorers," lamented Manchester coach Mark Morris. "That had a big impact on the game."
 
Morris said that the prognosis for either player wasn't promising.
 
"It's not good," he said. "It's a couple injuries that impact our team in a big way."

[quote KeithK]For that matter, shouldn't Providence be PRO rather than PRN?  Or else Princeton should be something other than PRN.[/quote]

How about PVD -- that's the nearest major airport anyway.

[quote KeithK]Doug Murray is out of the Sharks' lineup tonight with an upper body injury.  Sounds like a day to day thing but the FSN announcers didn't have any details and didn't know when he might be back in the lineup.[/quote]

Douglas is apparently back in the lineup, and should be playing tonight against the Red Wings (he played in the last couple of games).

While searching I ran across a slightly old collection of him engaging in some rather non-collegiate fisticuffs.  I don't think it's been shared here before -- apologies if it has:

Jacob called it:

[quote Jacob '06]I would expect O'Sullivan to find his way to the first line relatively soon.[/quote]

According to this Daily News story, O'Sullivan returns to the top line, and Moulson should be the LW on the 4th line tonight (with Raitis Ivanans and Derek Armstrong) against the Canucks.

The game is on FSW at 10:30ET.

[quote Jacob '06]Having watched the games he has played in, I highly doubt it. He is a bit slower than the other two guys on his line, and at times has looked really uncomfortable out there with them. The only way I see him sticking is because of his defensive responsibility, and the fact that Brown and Kopitar were on the ice for way too many goals against last year. However, O'Sullivan is known as a pretty good defensive forward, and has way more offensive upside than Moulson. I would expect O'Sullivan to find his way to the first line relatively soon.[/quote]

Well, looks like you're partly right, unfortunately -- the King's notebook for yesterday is showing Moulson as a probable healthy scratch for Friday's game, replaced by Kyle Calder.

Quote from: King's NotebookCalder most likely will replace Matt Moulson skating on the Kings No. 1 line at St. Louis on Friday. Moulson has skated on the Kings top line for the first five games of the season, scoring 1-0-1 with a minus-3 rating. His goal was the game winner vs. Anaheim on Oct. 14.

And let's see you put that into a cheer.[/quote]

Wish I could try -- will be stuck in MA during the game.  It would be more useful if they were the Canadian U-18 anyway...

It looks like there will be livestats for the game, but no radio.  If I've got that wrong someone please correct me!  I'm surprised, though, to see a radio link the Western Ontario game.

If O'Sullivan had been at camp you might be right that he would have been paired with them.  Some of King's Coach Terry Murray's comments in one of the intermissions suggested that he just doesn't have a feel for what kind of player O'Sullivan is yet.  Who knows.

Anyway, I ran across this on another LA Times page and it seemed related enough to be worth sharing:

Terry Murray is happy with Kings rookie Matt Moulson

Quote from: Helene Elliott (LA Times)"He's played very well," Murray said [about Moulson]. "He's smart, he works hard, he's very opportunistic and plays with good players. He's able to, because of his skating ability, get to the right places at the right time."

That reassured Murray that Moulson isn't out of place with Brown and Kopitar.

"That was one of the things I was looking at. Is this going to be able to be something they can work with and develop some chemistry, and is the speed going to be able to be maintained?" Murray said.

"And so far, so good."
