Alumni in the Pros - November 2007

Iggy's doing well for someone once deemed "useless" on this forum.**]

[Josh '99]

Murray is +3 so far in tonight's Sharks game that's tied 3-3 going to overtime.  Considering how many goals the Sharks seem to score when he's on the ice (as indicated by his very good +/-), it'd be nice if he figured in more of them, but I guess you take what you can get.

Edit:  Doug's otherwise good night was somewhat tempered by the fact that he took a penalty late in overtime, but the Sharks were able to kill it off.

So, Murray's solidifying his place in the line-up, Moulson bursts onto the scene in LA, and Iggulden appears soon headed to the Big Show.  All three finished their college eligibility, while the Cornellians who left school early in recent years are, by and large, floundering.  Coincidence?

I think so.  But speaking of floundering, there was a headline about one of our favorite flounders in the Hartford Courant today:

Boxing?  "Mental Training," I can see.

Must we return to this?  Some of us are Ranger fans, as we as Cornell fans.  Do we really need to be reminded, over and over again, that our organization managed to screw up the 12th overall pick in one of the greatest drafts in NHL history?  sigh...

or Getzlaf, or Perry, or Brown, or Seabrook, or Richards...  The number of great players drafted in the first round that year (not to mention guys like Bergeron, Weber and Carl that went in the second) will go down as historic.

I also vote to relegate this topic to the depths of eLynah obscurity (and hypocritically bump it in the process)

I'd say that this is a little unfair. Hynes shredded his knee and Pokulok had a serious concussion.  O'Byrne is on track for a quick arrival in the NHL. LeNeveu's slow progress is unfortunate but I don't think another year at Cornell was going to help him. McKee left at the perfect time - a year behind a depleted defense would have exposed him.

Some of us are Flyers fans, so yes.  ::laugh::

Moulson Interview

Matt Moulson interview (audio)- talks about moving up to the NHL

[Rita]

[quote cbuckser]In other Sharks news, Douglas Murray leads the team in +/-.  He is a +9.  Joe Thornton and Milan Michalek are tied for second at +5.  Kyle McLaren's +! is the second best +/- among Sharks defensemen.[/quote]

Sharks @ Phoenix for their 3rd meeting in the last week or so. 2-0 Sharks after a very fast moving 1st period. Murray is a +2 and has an assist on the Marleau goal.

Just turned on the Ducks and Kings on HDNet, and Moulson's in the box.

Looks like he's on a line with O'Sullivan and Frolov.

Pretty terrible game for the Kings, but Moulson did pick up an assist. I'm pretty sure he was on the ice for at least one of the Duckso goals.
