Nice article on Scrivens's call up. Hopefully he stays up long enough to play in a game.

For those longing for the days of Joey Nieuwendyk, turn into the NHL Network and then CBC.com. Tonight, as part of the Heritage Classic, is the alumni game between the Calgary Flames and the Montreal Canadiens. The first period is being shown live now as part of CBC's HNIC. Periods 2 and 3 will be stream on the internet.

and an interview coming up on MSG plus. Former NY Ranger Mike Backman has two daughters - one married to Matt, one married to LA Kings goalie Jonathan Quick - who Matt scored on tonite.

Edit -- make that two goals against brother in law -- #23.

And #23 on a very nice spin-around shot from the slot.

Greening got a shift in the final minute of regulation. He must be doing something right.

Nash got sent back down to Hamilton yesterday as Gill is returning from his injury and Mara will be joining the lineup, so he won't be playing in today's Heritage Classic.

Was there a brief period of time with 7 Cornell players on NHL rosters?

For the year we're up to 8. Not sure about simultaneity.

Bitz is still listed on the Florida roster, even if he's on IR. Officially, it should be 9.

Trotsky,

How come Eliot does not have any red bars associated with him on the page? (on TBRW)

Thanks, I added him. This brings up a philosophical issue. I have been using "dressed for a game" as the rule. Another standard would be "played in a game," another would be "was on the roster" (is this like the 40-man roster in baseball).

I dunno, what do others think? What's the appropriate metric for measuring a Cornell presence in the NHL?

Oversight. Added now. Thank you!

Well this brings up a philosophical issue. I have been using "dressed for a game" as the rule. Another standard would be "played in a game," another would be "was on the roster" (is this like the 50-man roster in baseball).

Getting paid as an NHLer. If he's paid NHL wages being on the roster, he should be listed as in the NHL. I suspect if he's paid, it's the NHL club that counts him as an expense.

Bobby Bonilla's going to get paid as a Met until 2025... but he also isn't on the roster.

Also, I meant "40-man roster."
