Alumni in the Pros - February 2011

[jkahn]

If you are bored and need something to do especially now that Robb has so nicely worked out Cornell's playoff seeding possibilities, go to the Ottawa Senators' home page and vote for Colin.

On the lower right side of the page is a poll for "which Sens prospect are you most excited about". Colin is at 12% of the vote. Maybe if he scores 2 goals in Buffalo he can get to Bobby Butler's level :-P.

Can't find it anymore. Do you have a direct link?

I was just on it.  It's on the right side of the page under the schedule.

Sort of Alumni: Last Sat Ben Scrivens parents sat next to us at the game. By the way they were talking it sounded like Ben would have come to senior night if he hadn't gotten called up. At least they were lamenting that he had to called on senior night. But the real neat thing was seeing where he got his enthusiasm. Almost the first thing his father said was, "Do you guys know the cheers?". They then went on to cheer at every opportunity, Dartmouth penalties, waving their hands, cheering, counting and yelling sieve and it's all your fault after goals, for some. I was amazed. Very easy to talk to them, but I'm sure that's why Ben's helmet was painted as it was.

I sat next to them at the regionals.  It was very enjoyable.  Quoting: He was living the dream. They really appreciated Cornell and the fans.

When converting one of the games to DVD I noticed Ben's dad handling out stuffed animals the night they were tossed for charity. Truly a classy family.

It seems to be a PC friendly poll. I couldn't see it on my Mac (when I found it, I was on a PC).

I found it on my Mac.  I had to refresh the page, there was something else at the bottom the first time.

Is it the Home Hardware Fan Poll? If so, I have a blank under it.

Not a Cornell alum, but you may find this Hugh Jessiman article interesting, particularly its title:

Greening picks up an assist in the Sens win against Philly Saturday night (on a nice cycle play behind the net).

Also a "Who are these guys?" comment from the Flyers announcers ::crazy::

Greening was sent back down today.

[billhoward]

Not surprising: Dartmouth man takes eight years to graduate, this time to the NHL.

Greening called back up today. He thought it was a joke that he was playing on the NHL Sens top line:

After the moves the Sens made, there will be a long process of rebuilding their organization.  They traded Kovalev, Ruutu, and Fisher, while only claiming a mediocre Svatos on waivers.  I expect Greening (and Butler and Locke) will likely see significant NHL time going forward.
