Love him or hate him, at least he has informed the world that the giant sucking sound that we are all hearing is indeed Harvard.

Moulson with his first goal of the season, and also an assist on the Isles' only other goal tonight.

Since no one posted it, Douglas Murray got an assist on the first San Jose goal last night. Considering how rare points are for him, I figured it was worth a post.

I noticed the goal was scored by Dan Boyle. Can someone who watched the game tell me whether he is regularly skating with Boyle or if it was in the middle of a line change or the pairings were screwed up after a penalty or something? If he plays with Boyle regularly he may be able to put up 15-20 points.

I did not watch last night, but the first 2 games he was paired with Boyle at even strength.

I seem to remember him playing with Boyle a lot last year. Alas it will take more than a good defensive pairing for Murray to get 20 NHL points.

It's Moulson vs. Bitz on Saturday night as the B's host the Islanders. The game will be on MSG+ and NESN.

Bitz with a goal!

ftyuv · October 10, 2009, 09:20:12 PM

Against Moulson, no less :-)

Trotsky · October 10, 2009, 09:24:19 PM

Great effort by Bitz ::cheer::, with the Isles blowing a 3-goal lead in 6 minutes. ::bang::

scoop85 · October 10, 2009, 10:05:06 PM

Both Bitz and Moulson played solid games, with Bitz making a tremendous move on his goal.

What a treat to see two Cornellians, playing, playing well, even scoring, in an exciting hockey game that could be watched from multiple HD camera angles without worrying about the quality of the Internet connection out of Tompkins County. This turned out to be a tastier alternative to watching the snoozy battle of No. 1 Florida (only another concussion to Tebow or a bunch of U of Miami style misconduct arrests will keep them out of BCS title game) vs. No. 4 LSU (whose inability to move the ball or do much else on offense reminded me of the Big Red, unfortunately). You knew Tebow was going to play once Wm C Rhoden of the NY Times opined from afar that Tebow absolutely positively should not play; what he had to say that was new and original could have been in a Tweet with enough space left to say hello to his mom. (Sorry for the drift.)

Depends on how real Alabama is, but you're probably right.

We were at the Bruins-Islanders game on Saturday, and it was definitely a fun one to watch, with a lot of intensity at the end. Moulson had some really good chances, and his line continues to move the puck well. I felt bad about his penalty, since it seemed like it gave the Bruins a little extra energy that eventually led to their comeback. When we watched the replay later, the NESN announcers indicated that they thought it was a bullshit call, which was our impression as well. Bitz's goal was really pretty, and it was nice to see him get the point just after we had been remarking that he hadn't had a shift in awhile.

There were a few knowledgeable fans at the game who actually seemed to get why we were there in our Cornell jerseys. After the game, in the T station, two guys approached us and asked if we were fans of Moulson and Bitz. It turned out that they were Jeremy Russell and Devin Timberlake of Brown's hockey team. I didn't have the presence of mind to ask them how their coaching change was going so far.

Also amusingly, we chose our seats randomly on StubHub, but somehow ended up sitting next to Matt's father's cousins, as well as a member of the Manchester Monarchs management, who had come down to see him play. Five Moulson fans in a row--completely coincidentally!
