[quote Beeeej]The Anaheim Ducks have sent David LeNeveu back to Iowa for training camp with the Iowa Chops (AHL).[/quote]

ANAHEIM, CA -- The Ducks announced on Wednesday that they have recalled former Cornell goaltender David LeNeveu from the Iowa Chops, Anaheim's primary development affiliate in the American Hockey League (AHL).

****

LeNeveu appeared in 46 career Eastern Collegiate Athletic Conference (ECAC) contests over two seasons with the Cornell Big Red. A runner-up for the 2003 Hobey Baker Award, his 1.20 GAA that season set a then-NCAA Division 1 record. He also helped lead Cornell to the Semifinal game of the NCAA Frozen Four Tournament in 2002-03 in addition to being named to the NCAA East First All-American Team. Earning accolades such as the 2003 ECAC Player of the Year and the Ken Dryden Award (ECAC's Top Goaltender), LeNeveu also owns the NCAA Division 1 record for the best career GAA (1.29).

And Lenny is back down to Iowa after a day. Why? Weird salary cap rules.

Contract extension metaphorically in hand, Douglas Murray was on the lineup for the Sharks on opening day.  15:24 in ice time, including (oddly) only 40 seconds on the PK - I'm confused because I expected him to do a lot of that this year.  No penalties, 3 shots on goal (and one off target), 2 hits, 2 blocked shots.  No giveaways or takeaways.  Even plus/minus.

Edit to add:  The LA Kings and (I hope) Matt Moulson start their season on Saturday against Murray's Sharks.

Moulson -3 and Murray +3 midway through the third in tonight's Kings-Sharks game.

I believe there was one shift in which all three former Ithaca residents were on the ice at the same time.  Douglas Murray had a good night.  Late in the 3rd, he put a hard shot on goal from about 10 feet inside the blue line.

Dustin Brown, early in the 1st, had a brilliant moment of stick-handling that got the TV broadcasters very excited and impressed.  Moulson was on the Kings top penalty-kill line.

[Jacob '06]

Moulson did end up playing on the top line with Dustin Brown and Anze Kopitar because O'Sullivan hasn't been declared fit to play yet. I assume that will be the case for today's game against the Sharks also. Moulson looked a little shaky out there in the first and second periods that I watched, but then again so did all of the Kings players.

[Jacob '06]

Moulson does manage to score for the Kings tonight, but it was a kick-in. It gets called back.

An amusing mention of Matt Moulson in the Toronto Sun's fantasy hockey column (http://www.torontosun.com/sports/hockey/2008/10/12/7063171.html):

FOXY BY PROXY: MATT MOULSON - Who?? What, you didn't draft Matt Moulson? Every year certain players without any real fantasy value get promoted to play with a team's best players and just like that, they have some value. The best example this season may be Miro Satan. His hands went south years ago, but if he sticks on Sid The Kid's line then he immediately becomes Foxy By Proxy, and a fantasy destination. Kopitar and Brown, the top dogs in Los Angeles, have a new linemate in Matt Moulson, for the time being, and Matt just may enjoy the same sort of points boost that Satan should experience in Pittsburgh. +/- is always a concern with L.A. players, but there may be some sneaky points to be had there and I can pretty much guarantee that Matty's available on your free agent list, waiting for some savvy owner, like you, to take a chance on him. Low-risk, hi-reward.

Here's a (sad) tangent to the alumni thread............isn't this the goalie from BU that was in the '91 game, when BU beat us 5-4 @ Lynah?  As I recall, at the end of the game, he skated around the rink giving the Lynah crowd the finger.  Hate to bring that up, but it was a very memorable game with Ryan Hughes scoring 4 goals.  RIP Scott.
