Matt Moulson just scored on a pretty forehand-to-backhand move off a feed from Tavares to put the Islanders up 1-0 over the Leafs.

And, via the ECAC site, here's another article about his name being mentioned on 30 Rock.

Speaking of Bitz, I just checked the Panthers' site, and it looks like he is on injured reserve (elbow).

How long must one stay on the NHL IR list before being activated? I periodically check the Panther's website, but havent' seen anything about when he is expected to return.

Bitz will be out for 6 more weeks after undergoing surgery to repair a sports hernia, per Kevin Allen's tweet.

Thanks for the update. Bummer that he will be out that long. With the new GM and coaching staff, I wonder if that will affect how Bitz fits into the new plan and his chances of remaining with the organization.

Well then... same question?

This should give you a good sense for how it's going in Ottawa.  It's focused on the defense, but maybe they could use a solid winger who is defensively responsible.  Ottawa GM Not Happy

Yikes.

One of the hosts on the XM Home Ice show is a suffering Sens fan, so the audience gets to hear about how bad they are, in every phase of the game, every day.  Apparently (sez him) their fans suck, too.

David LeNeveu just got put on waivers by Columbus.

I thought this meant that he was put on waivers pending release but he was assigned to Springfield (AHL).

As a rule of thumb, older or experienced players cannot get sent to the minors without clearing waivers.  The quality of goaltenders getting waived this month was unusually high; the Blue Jackets faced little risk of him getting claimed.

Matt Moulson featured inPuck Daddy, the Yahoo Hockey Blog.  Fun story.

Sure. My assumption stemmed more from the fact that nobody updated the assignment. I assumed he'd have resigned somewhere else by now and when nobody posted anything I went to teh Googles.

Moulson scores in  overtime (after a lengthy review on what was originally called no goal) to beat the Lightning.

That's 4-2-6 in 7 games for Matt.

He provides a nice Cornell presence on my fantasy team :-)

Despite giving up five goals, Ben Scrivens won his first start as a pro last Saturday for the Reading Royals of the ECHL.  He came on in relief on Sunday and played much better (23/24 in 50:42).  Overall his GAA is 3.40 with a SV% .898.  Not bad in a league with terrible defense.

Brendon Nash also scored his first professional goal last night on the power play.

A great start indeed to lead the first place Islanders. :-D

(Gotta get that in there while it lasts!)
