Alumni in the Pros - November 2007

[Jacob '06]

Moulson just scored his first NHL goal in his first NHL game.

Moulson scores.

Well Matt Moulson gets a souvenier from his first NHL game ::banana::.

Matt's goal makes it 2-1 Kings with 5 minutes left in the 2nd.

Not a Cornell alum, but Ithaca native Dustin Brown just scored to make it 3-1 at the end of 2 periods.

Have fun at the game tomorrow night Jacob. If you wear your Cornell jersey, it would be cool if Matt and/or Douglas acknowledged it with a stick tap or something.

ps.. take good notes. If I just heard the Sharks announcers, there will not be any TV coverage tomorrow night.

Good luck getting picked up out of the crowd, though... I'm not that convinced the players on the ice really see the fans in the stands.  But definitely wear the jersey!

FWIW, the radio call for the game should be online somewhere tomorrow.  It's crazy to me that the could be no TV broadcast of an NHL game... very sad comment on the state of the league's TV deals.

LGR, and congrats to Matt!

The audio feed will be available on NHL.com. As for the video... blame Pac 10 football. Fox Sports Net is the main carrier of Pac10 football and tomorrow night there is a "double header" with games at 6:30 pm EDT and 10:00 pm EDT.

Watched the LA-San Jose game on NHL Center Ice last night.  Matt's goal came on a bit of a lazy play by SJ.  Their defenseman passed the puck out from behind their net that was picked off and then fed to LA's Michal Handzus who found Matt in the high slot just above the hash marks (where else)!  Nice shot into the top left hand corner of the net.  Murray didn't play last night for SJ.  He's on injured reserve.

[quote Jacob '06]According to the NHL.com rosters it looks like Moulson is actually getting in the game tonight despite not even practicing with the team yet. Unfortunately Douglas is out tonight because the Sharks signed Sandis Ozolinsh today and he is playing.[/quote]

I'll stop adding things soon, but I'm pleased for Matt.  Part of a story I found online included more info on how little prep time he had:

Streaking! Kings Knock Off San Jose
Nov 2, 2007 11:30 pm US/Pacific

(AP) SAN JOSE A backup goalie and a sleep-deprived rookie made sure the San Jose Sharks stayed stuck in their early-season slump.



Moulson, a former Cornell star, was called up by the Kings on Thursday -- his 24th birthday -- when Kyle Calder went on injured reserve.

Moulson had just stepped out of the shower after a minor-league practice in Manchester, N.H., when he got orders to get on a plane to the Bay Area, where he spent a sleepless night before his debut.

"I was just trying to think about calming my nerves down out there," Moulson said. "It felt good to get on the ice and just try to concentrate on the game."

Moulson got his first goal on a feed from Michal Handzus late in the second period, firing a shot from the slot.

It says on on yahoo sports news feed on the sharks that Murray was placed on injured reserve yesterday with an undisclosed injury.  :-/  Hope he can get himself fixed up soon.

At least we have Moulson to cheer for now.

I think he has a hangnail.

Very nice. Thank you.

You might consider a key to the league abbreviations for those who don't know beyond NHL, AHL, and ECAC.

Moulson taking a regular shift tonight against the Sharks in LA and seeing time on the power play.  +1 on the night through the first period, but no goals or assists so far.  Two shots on goal at even strength and two blocked shots.

According to the folks on the Kings board at HF, he drew two penalties.  He must be turning some heads.
