Alumni in the pros: November 2011

Quote from: sah67Ben Scrivens will get the start again for Toronto tonight when they host the the struggling Stanley Cup champion Bruins:

Quote from: TSNRon 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.

Thanks. Off to set the DVR.

With Scrivens against Tim Thomas (UVM), it's an ECAC goalie matchup! Cornell got a mention about a minute into the game on NESN (Boston's local coverage).

Not many highlights are going to come from this game, Scrivens pulled with the Bruins up 5-0 in the 2nd.

Scrivens gets yanked with 4:45 left in the 2nd -- Bruins are up 5-0. A couple of those were Scrivens just getting an unlucky night, because Seguin is on fire. But he also let one in 5-hole that was a bit questionable, and the fifth goal was basically from a bad rebound. The first goal of the night was on a PP where you can't really blame Scrivens, though I have seen goalies make that kind of a save on a good night.

So against the 2-win Bluejackets he was a stud, but against a team with actual offense he gave up 2 SETS of goals less than 20 seconds apart? His save percentage was, what, 65% at best?

Gratz to him for making it to the NHL but boo on the circle jerks who continue to yank his chains.

A lot of talk about greening last night during the sabres broadcast last night. He took the hit of the night as well (Caruba Collision). Back to lurking

Scrivens starting tonight against St. Louis.

Quote from: munchkinScrivens starting tonight against St. Louis.

Scrivens played in the Leafs 5-1 loss against Florida on Tuesday. Gustavsson was pulled at 36:47 after giving up the second and third Florida goals 19 seconds apart. Scrivens let in two goals on seven shots.

Scrivens won in a shoot out victory 3-2 tonight.

Scrivens had a great game tonight against St. Louis and Toronto gets the OT shoot-out win. Scrivens was really the only reason this game went to overtime and was voted player of the game by the St. Louis announcers. Overall, I was incredibly impressed and would keep an eye out for videos of the shoot-out later tonight. Scrivens didn't let any in and also it appears that he has a Cornell sticker on the back of his Maple Leafs helmet. Way to bounce back from a tough game against Boston, and relief effort against Florida. Hopefully, he will see some more time with Reimer still out.

Between Murray, Greening, Moulson and Scrivens, we're having a pretty decent presence in the NHL right now.

Dafatone · November 11, 2011, 12:29:05 AM

And O'Byrne, who is -1 on the season. Not too shabby for a team that's -4 (the Avalanche)

I bought tickets to tonight's game once I found out Scrivens was starting. Ben looked really shaky in the first period. A lot of juicy rebounds right in front of the net, and some times when he didn't quite look sure what to do with the puck. But, he settled down nicely in the 2nd and 3rd. I think the Leafs were outshot something like 30-8 over the last two periods. A lot of pressure on Scrivens and he came up with the big saves. The Blues also missed a few open nets. It was cool to hear the Blues fans around me make comments about how well Scrivens was playing.
