Alumni in the Pros -- January 2007

[redhair34]

The San Jose Sharks sent Hobey Baker winner Matt Carle down to Worcester today.  Carle started the season well, but he has really struggled (along with the team) as of late.  Hopefully, this will give Doug a chance to log some more ice time and stay in the lineup.

Doug Murray replaced Matt Carle in the lineup on Sunday after Doug presumably watched from the press box as Carle compiled a -4 in the Sharks' 8-0 loss to the Coyotes.

If the Sharks really lost 8-0 to Phoenix they should send everyone down to Worcester.

Phoenix to Worcester is a double demotion.

The 5-8 minutes of ice time that Doug has played the last six games since his return don't suggest major confidence in his game right now.  He was a +2 before his time on IR with far more significant ice time, I don't know why they don't give him more minutes.  5-8 minutes is goon ice time.

cool! congrats for Mike Iggulden for being one of the AHL.com 3 stars of the night with a pair of goals against Springfield.

Of course, he did almost get into a fight within the first few shifts in the game I watched on Canadian television a week or so ago.  ::starwars::

Good news from Augusta- David McKee makes 35 saves in a win over Gwinnett  and Shane Hynes grabs the #3 Star for his 2 points, the GWG and an assist. Unfortunately they BOTH got penalties for unsportsmanlike conduct, but in diffrent periods, Shane in the 2nd and David in the 3rd. what gives? what happened?

Doug is in the line-up for the Sharks tonight. Thus far ~ 4 shifts and ~ 3:30 min. A few shots on goal, but not on the ice for any goals.

The Sharks had a good first shift then played like they all wanted a trip to Worcester as Detroit scored 3 goals in 10 minutes. However, the Sharks have woken up and mid-way through the 2nd it is tied 3-3.

[Avash]

Murray with a primary assist on the PP, on San Jose's 9th goal of the evening (they're 6-of-9 on the power play, and 15 of the 18 players in the lineup have at least a point). It's his second career NHL point (48 games played).

[RatushnyFan]

6 minutes of play in a 9-4 victory.  Blah.  Give the kid some ice time.

[CU at Stanford]

I was at the Sharks game on Thurs night.  It was ugly...Sharks down 0-3 not even half way through the 1st, but then, something happened, and they scored 9 (yes, NINE) unanswered goals.  Doug Murray (wearing No. 3) was a starter, but saw very limited action.  I did not even spot him on that 9th-goal power play.

I wore my Cornell jersey (with Doug's name and No. 6 on the back, along with his autograph) to the game, and got a few not-so-friendly stares.  Oh yeah, CU's jersey looks almost like a Red Wings jersey.  Sorry, Sharks fans!  ::rolleyes::

I agree...Give Doug more ice time, man!

When I saw Telqvist play in LA he was terrible. Couldn't hold on to the puck when he tried to catch it at all. This article is surprising.

Lenny seems to be getting the shaft here:
[q] the article states:
backup netminders David LeNeveu and Mike Morrison had flamed out in spectacular fashion.[/q]
While Morrison's save % was .790, Lenny's was .894, about the same as CuJo's .895.
