Alumni in the pros: November 2011

Douglas Murray on hits to the head: "I never target someone's head. It's such a dumb play, anyway, because you'd be going after such a small target when you have the whole rest of the body there. It makes no sense."

I like the way he thinks.

Interesting stat, that I hadn't thought about,  mentioned in the ECAC Team Notes for this weekends games.

All seven players who graduated after playing with the Big Red last season have played professionally this season.

Haven't seen it posted yet but for Movember, a pretty spectacular Matt Moulson centered T-shirt is up for sale at https://www.sportschirps.com/detail.php?id=110 . For every shirt sold $5 is donated.

They nailed the eyebrows and the "flow"

At the other end of the ice in this game is former RPI goalie Allan York. Columbus announcers doing well to give Ben Scrivens his props.

Ben Scrivens will get the start again for Toronto tonight when they host the the struggling Stanley Cup champion Bruins:

Ron Wilson said the decision to start Scrivens ahead of Jonas Gustavsson was part "gut feel" and part his desire to see what the 25-year-old was able to do with two games in a row.
