David LeNeveu got some positive press to begin the month. He is the Springfield Falcons' starting goaltender and seems to be number 3 on the Columbus Blue Jackets' depth chart.

It can be awfully tough for even good goaltenders to crack the NHL. For example, most would have predicted Al Montoya to have made it by now, but that hasn't panned out.

Dammit!!! His Reading team is scheduled to be in Elmira for two games this weekend. I had planned on making at least one of them....If anyone hears that he's been sent back to Reading, please get it posted on here.

Douglas Murray in a real heavyweight battle - he didn't really start but he sure finished it!

Moulson scored the Isles' lone goal tonight. He's now 6-4-10 in 14 GP.

And he had another going toward an empty net that was knocked out of the air by a Flyers' D-man. Good game by Matt. The Isles outplayed the Flyers (except for Bobrovsky) for 2 periods.

Thanks to Yahoo Sports adding content to their stats webpages, I can tell you that he also leads the Sharks in hits (28) and blocked shots (19). Also, for a physical defenseman without great speed, just 4 minors through 12 games seems very impressive.

Still getting away with all that clutching a grabbing!

In Binghamton, Greening is playing on the top line with Bobby Butler. Lots of quotes in the article.

Quote"I think what we did makes perfect sense," coach Kurt Kleinendorst said. "Colin Greening is the perfect fit for Corey Locke and Bobby Butler. He's big, he's strong, he competes, he works, he's a great first man in on the forecheck. He really elevated both Corey's and Bobby's games. They certainly had something to do with it, but I think Colin made a big difference."

Added Greening, "Locke is just so skilled with the puck, and he's able to find guys and make plays, then Bobby's just a natural scorer, so I think how I complement them is by getting the puck back to them. I'm able to force turnovers on the forecheck and make the defense cough up the puck so I can get the puck to those guys, and once they get the puck, they can obviously make plays with it."

Nice article about Greening. A lot of familiar names (some of which I would like to forget). I seem to vaguely recall Kurt Kleinendorst from his playing days at Providence.

Quote from: espn.comThe injury-depleted Colorado Avalanche acquired defenseman Ryan O'Byrne from the Montreal Canadiens Thursday in exchange for prospect Michael Bournival.

O'Byrne, 26, had appeared in only three games for the Canadiens this season. The 6-foot-5, 234-pound defenseman was Montreal's third-round pick (79th overall) in the 2003 entry draft.

He played in in a career-high 55 games last season (four points) and 13 of Montreal's 19 games during its surprising playoff run.

"Ryan is another young defenseman who will add size and depth to our team," Avalanche general manager Greg Sherman said in a team statement.
