The NHL 2009/2010 party two matches stars AHL held for "sharks" of 9 games in which they noted three abandoned washers and 2 tally. In addition, 28-year-old striker has played 35 matches for farm-club (Worcester Sharks) and they scored 30 points (14 +16).

The fan comments sound just like any other place, too, enthusiastic, questioning, responsive.

NHL network is showing three Canadiens' Stanley Cup games from the '70s tonight, Wednesday, and Thursday, giving a chance to see Ken Dryden in action.  Note how Ken in his pads looks pretty much like a human being, not the Pillsbury doughboy.  Check your local listings for times.  They're shown multiple times each.

It didn't need it's own thread, but CU announced Steve Wilson to join the CU Athletic Hall of Fame. Here's his bio from the release:

Steve Wilson '97, Men's Ice Hockey
Wilson was a three-time first-team All-Ivy and a two-time All-ECAC first-team selection. A defenseman, he had 16 goals, 74 assists, and 91 points for his career. He also graduated with the most games played in Cornell history (128), missing only one contest in four years. Wilson played on two ECAC championship teams (1996 and '97), two Ivy League championship teams (1996 and '97) and two NCAA tournament squads. Wilson was named to the 1993-94 All-ECAC Rookie Team. A three-time recipient of the Wendell and Francella Earle Award for outstanding academic achievement, he served as co-captain his senior year when the Big Red made it to the NCAA quarterfinals before falling to North Dakota.

I didn't realize Mitchell Alva posted the whole release on "Other Sports", sorry.

Great news..If he doesn't make the NHL, we'll be able to go to Syracuse to watch him play.  YAY!!!

Unfortunately, when Edmonton moved its affiliate Oklahoma, Columbus moved its prospects to Springfield and Syracuse is now affiliated with the Anaheim Ducks.  So here's hoping he gets traded?

Even with Riley Nash in the system, I still can't bring myself to root for the Hurricanes. Yeah, I do still hold a grudge about their leaving Hartford ::pissed::. The rest of my family, however, is more forgiving, so when Riley does join the Hurricanes (hopefully for the 2011-2012 season!!), I can get my nephew a "NASH" jersey to replace the "STAAL" one that he will have outgrown by then.

I think the more realistic attitude is seen in other recent stories about Nash, which have expected him to compete with several other Canes prospects for the two open spots at center. As much as it would be nice to see him jump straight into the third line, I think that's a little ridiculous.

Do people really think Riley will play centre in the NHL?  I always assumed he would move to wing.  I can't find the statistics to back me up or prove me wrong anywhere, but my impression from watching is that he never wins a big faceoff.

That used to be the case, but he definitely improved last season.
