The eclectic goalie can't keep up with all the media calls for his time, which eats into his current reading — a physics book, The Elegant Universe: Hidden Strings, Hidden Dimensions and the Quest for the Ultimate Theory by Brian Greene and The Self-Illusion: How the Social Brain Creates Identity by Bruce Hood.

I'll reserve commenting my own opinion about Brian Greene and just mention that he was a Cornell faculty member from 1990-1996.

But that comment is a comment and reserving an opinion is an opinion.::screwy::

Yes, I assume you meant the comment that I think you meant.

Nevertheless, it was an entertaining read...or listen, as the case may be, since I consumed it on my past commutes.

Colin Greening scores the go-ahead goal (only his 2nd of the season_ on the powerplay, putting Ottawa ahead of Florida 3-2 at the end of the 2nd.

I'm just glad he's balancing his Kant with some Hegel.

That's not balance.  The way to balance Kant is with Hume.  /philosoraptor

Not alumni but random NHL news.  I'm not sure if this is the best or worst idea in history, but apparently Jerry Remy's Bar and Grill has discount food during Bruins power plays.

You could not pay me enough to be wait staff there.

Riley Nash had the GWG in Carolina's 5-2 win over Nashville tonight.

Riley Nash is turning it up: another goal and an assist in Carolina's 5-3 upset over San Jose tonight.

Not sure what Sutter doesn't like about Scrivens. Even during the run, he wasn't overly complimentary.

Maybe Sutter checked this forum from Scrivens' Cornell days (Underhill / Leneveu / Scrivens / Iles is not the answer). Maybe it was the embarrassment of seeing your goalie trip (twice) behind the net and give up the puck for a soft shorthanded goal by Calgary. Scrivens carried a ~3.8 GPA and maybe it's the same reason as why Nascar doesn't like Jeff Gordon (per Jeff Foxworthy): He can enunciate.

All viable possibilities. Thank goodness Al MacNeil and Scotty Bowman didn't see the ken Dryden / Brian Cropper are not the answer columns back in the day.

Right! Dryden like Jeff Matthews never matched up to his sophomore year, Cropper to his junior year.
