Alumni in the Pros -- December 2006

DisplacedCornellian · December 02, 2006, 09:44:22 AM

It's December now.

A couple of recent Cornell alums connected on the power play to open up scoring in last night's Binghamton/Syracuse matchup, as Vesce netted the goal, assist to Charlie Cook. Binghamton went on to win 4-2.

Elsewhere in the AHL, Ryan O'Byrne and the Hamilton Bulldogs were shut out by the Toronto Marlies, 1-0. LeNeveu watched from the bench as San Antonio was shut out by Omaha, 2-0.

In the ECHL, Greg Hornby continues to be Greg Hornby, racking up 66 penalty minutes in 16 games so far this season for the Victoria Salmon Kings. Gleed is logging in time with the Cincinatti Cyclones, where he is +4 with 1 assist and 26 penalty minutes in 6 games. Hynes and McKee are playing together in Augusta. Hynes is listed as a defenseman and has 5 goals and 7 assists in 19 games played. He is -9 with 49 PIM. Augusta has gone 9-4 with McKee between the pipes despite mediocre numbers from him (0.896 SV%, 3.65 GAA). I'm sure I missed some folks floating around in the ECHL, but...I'm spent.

Not Cornell Alumni, but very interesting former ECAC news nonetheless: Eric Perrin is back with the Lightning, reuniting with lifelong linemate Martin St. Louis. Even more interesting, they both faced Tim Thomas in Boston this week. Both netted a goal, but Thomas stopped all seven shots in the shootout (including both Keebler Elves) to get the win.

LeNeveu started for San Antonio tonight and was named third star of the game despite a losing effort in which he gave up 5 goals. Lenny stopped 55 of the 60 shots Chicago sent his way (his Chicago counterpart stopped 18 out of 22 for the W).

Perrin got his seventh of the season tonight - looking quite good for a guy who has battled a long time to get to the NHL.

Yale alum Jeff Hamilton recorded his first NHL hat trick tonight for the Blackhawks who are now 3-0 since Denis Savard took over.

Any chance Murray will be back with the Sharks, say, this Thursday?

David Harding · December 03, 2006, 02:24:38 AM

Speaking of Chicago, I missed the fading of Stephen Baby. He is still listed on the roster, but has only played 7 of 23 games. One goal, 2 assists, 16 penalty minutes. They show 6 centers, 7 right wings, and 3 left wings.

According to Pierre LeBrun, Pat Quinn said he would consider coaching in college if he can't get a job in the NHL.

most of cornell's pro-products are stinking it up in the pros right now. its kind of frustrating as a fan, but it does show how insanely hard it is to make an impact at the next level (that is the AHL, not to mention the NHL)
Lenny was stinking it up, albeit under unfair scrutiny, Doug Murray has barely cracked the Sharks lineup. Moulson is a non factor in Manchester.
Only quiet production from Vesce in Bingo-town and some by Mike Iggulden in Worcester are really the highlights.
Hynes has not regained any luster, and Sasha Pokulok is still sidelined with a concussion. McKee is still behind a goalie logjam in the Ducks org, even pink socks Nathan Marsters is ahead of him in the depth charts. sad.

Point of order, pink socks was Steve Silverthorn. Marsters used to do this bizarre mask-flip thing as part of his skate-turn-tap-etc. routine.

Bryan '06 · December 03, 2006, 04:04:32 PM

Speaking of which, last night's sieve Mrazek (or is that Mr. Azek?) wore no socks at all. That led to a few fun chants over in section G.::burnout::

The Rancor · December 03, 2006, 04:22:53 PM

dang! you are right, Banshee.

Murray is on the injured reserve with an upper respiratory infection apparently. That's been posted back on Nov 29th. Think he'd be healthy be now???

It really isn't all that "bizarre." I've seen many goalies do exactly the same thing that Marsters did/does. And many don't wear socks although I always did. :-D
