[quote redice]From today's Ithaca Journal:  "There happens to be Big Red connection to goalie goals, as former Cornell keeper Jean-Marc Pelletier was credited with scoring a goal this season with Hamburg in Germany's premier pro hockey league, the Deutsche Eishockey Liga.

But unlike Hextall, who fired a puck directly at an empty net, Pelletier was merely a bystander to hockey's version of an own goal. With a delayed penalty signaled against Hamburg, Berlin pulled its goalie in favor of an extra attacker. Former NHL defenseman Deron Quint then sent a wayward pass into his own net, and since Pelletier was the last member of the Freezers to touch the puck, he was awarded credit for the goal."[/quote]

This situation almost played out in a San Jose game last week. I think it was vs. Phoenix, but my memory is failing. I do remember that it was Craig Rivet (and not Murray) that sent the pass back into his own zone. Unfortunately, the announcers didn't want to go back and see who would have gotten credit for the goal had the puck gone in the net.

From the NCAA rulebook:

During a delayed penalty, a goal may not be scored by the penalized team as a result of a deflection off of a penalized team player.

But I guess it's still ok to stuff it in your own net. More randomness. Marty Brodeur is the only (NHL, anyway) goalie with a game-winning goal. Chew on that. Makes me vomit a little.

This happened during a CU game years ago. I don't remember the player or team, but a penalty was called and then the opposition dropped the puck into their own net. The penalized player got credit for the goal. Anyone with a better memory?

I forget the player's name or details at the moment, but as I recall the penalized Cornellian called it the prettiest goal he'd ever scored.

[quote RichH]Moulson is wearing an "A" for Manchester[/quote]

Speaking of Moulson, I saw that the Kings just sent Gabe Gauthier back down after three games and called up Jeff Giuliano, who has played in 1 game so far.  According to the NHL game rosters, all of three them were at left wing -- are the Kings looking for a permanent one or just brewing coffee for all the AHL left wingers in their system?  It sure seems like they're searching for something.

They are actually looking for a 4th line center, but injuries have pretty much shuffled everything around. Once Frolov and Nagy come back in on the 2nd line, I think Giuliano will be a good fit for 4th line center and there won't be any more transactions. I think Frolov and Nagy are both due back next week.The Kings have finally been getting a little bit of secondary scoring from a few of their guys, so Moulson's chances of getting back up are getting slimmer. If they get in to another secondary scoring slump he may get called up to play 2nd or 3rd line winger.

Dave Crombeen.

It was in the final game of the 1986 RS, at Houston Field House.  Cornell fell behind by 2-3 goals, but Crombeen's goal helped Cornell come all the way back to win in overtime, 7-6.

Crombeen was a very hard checking forward -- he would have been at home on the '03 team.  He had 7 goals that season, which is frankly amazing to me.  But then again, Dan Nichols is on the same pace.

O'byrne had a pretty bad turnover with the puck hopping over his stick which lead to a goal, and he has only gotten one shift since. The coach seems to be messing with the defense pairings to keep him off the ice, but it is intermission now so we'll see what happens in the third.

Thanks, I thought RPI, but, as you get senile, you never know.

Only 2 shifts in the third period.

[amerks127]

pretty bad is an understatement...that was an awful turnover.   had a nice replay of it.

[Cactus12]

I really wish I hadn't posted this...

Don't be too hard on yourself. It could have happened to any of us. In any event, the Habs fans seem a lot more forgiving of his youthful indiscretions than eLF ever was.

Also, they are calling him "Rhino" - how did we not think of that?

It's not because he's fat, not because he's got birds on his back, but because he's horny.

With all the injuries hitting San Jose, I'm surprised Iggulden hasn't been called up yet. I suppose they're just scraping by as is though.
