Not doing too hot in the AHL either according to this stat sheet.  46th out of 46.

You have to give that Coyotes organization credit.   They've done a masterful job of f#@king up a perfectly fine goaltender!!   I hope some other organization is able to recognize his ability & steal him away from the Coyotes......Before he passes that magic age where many teams will not give him a good chance.

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.[/quote]The implication that Lenny "flamed out" in a fashion anywhere near as "spectacular" as Morrison is laughable.

[cth95]

If LeNeveau is strong-minded (and stubborn) enough he still might get his chance in the right situation.  Tim Thomas is finally being rewarded and he has about 10 years on Lenny.

Was at the kings-sharks game tonight. Doug Murray got a decent amount of playing time. He had a rip of a slapshot from near the boards that ended up in a goal and I thought he got his first career goal, but it turns out it was redirected and he only ended up with an assist . Well at least it was a point.

And LeNeveu would be able to keep his mack face on while playing.

Great article - thanks!  It's nice to hear that he's settling in.  Our best wishes for a successful rookie year go out to Dave.

[quote miniteam8s]Great article - thanks! [/quote]
Yes.  Surprisingly so.  I thought David came across quite well in his comments.  A style change like that is not easy to make (see Tiger Woods's initial problems retooling his swing).  Hope he can pull it off.

Doug's on a roll all of a sudden.  Let's hope there is more to come.

Against Phoenix:

"Clowe broke a 1-1 tie at 14:28 of the second period when he one-timed Doug Murray's pass from the left boards off a defenseman's stick and over Curtis Joseph's right shoulder for his eighth goal in five games."

Lenny is on a roll right now!  He was the #1 star the last to games 33 of 35 saves on Friday and 35 of 35 today.

[calgARI '07]

Seems like the Coyotes got it right.  Didn't make sense at the time they appeared to be placing a lot of blame on LeNeveu but since they've brought in Tellqvist to split with Joseph, the Coyotes are a few games above .500 including that 7-game winning streak that ended this week.

A poster over on HF said he spoke with the Kings GM and he said that Moulson has been their most improved player ahead of future star Patrick O'Sullivan.

So if O'Sullivan is the #2 most improved player who is #1? He told me Matt Moulson. Has stepped his game up 2 or 3 levels and that his development was going along very smoothly said he is great in both ends and hes very excited about his progression. Said that he was like a -5 at the beginning of the season with 7 points and now hes up to 27 points and a +8 or 9.

Consider the source, but nevertheless Matt seems to be doing well.

Doug continued his good play of late tonight against Phoenix.  He picked up the game's 2nd star even though he was only on the ice for a little less than 8 minutes.
