Are there any Cornellians left in the NHL playoffs (even bench warmers)? I'm not aware of any.

For the last couple of years, keeping us up to date on Cornellians remaining at any level of pro hockey playoffs has been Josh's bag, but he may be busy with other things.

I looked it up. The answer is no.

In the AHL playoffs, the Western Conference final will feature a matchup between Ben Scrivens and the Toronto Marlies and Yann Danis and the Oklahoma City Barons.  (Danis is backed up by David LeNeveu, but Danis has played every minute so far in the playoffs so a Cornellian vs. Cornellian goaltending matchup seems unlikely unless Danis gets injured, despite the fact that LeNeveu was almost as good as Danis during the regular season.)  Both of their teams are packed with former NCAA players.  Scrivens's teammates include Jerry D'Amigo (RPI), Matt Frattin (UND), Jake Gardiner (Wisconsin), Joe Colborne (Denver), Simon Gysbers and Will Acton (LSSU), and Jay Rosehill (UMD), while LeNeveu's include Mark Arcobello (Yale), Tyler Pitlick (Mankato), Chris Vande Velde and Taylor Chorney (UND), Tanner House (Maine), and Dan Ringwald (RIT).

In the Eastern Conference final, Raymond Sawada is now with the St. John's IceCaps (when did that happen?), who play the Norfolk Admirals.  Sawada's teammates up in Newfie country incude Brock Trotter (Denver), John Albert and Jason DeSantis (Ohio State), Zach Redmond (Ferris State), Travis Ramsey (Maine), Marco Rosa (Merrimack), and Kevin Clark (UAA).  Their opponents will include Alex Killorn (Harvard), Trevor Smith (UNH), Cory Conacher (Canisius), Mike Kostka (UMass), Evan Oberg (UMD), and Jeff Dimmen (Maine).  So, while no Cornellians are still activin the NHL playoffs, the odds are good that one will lift the Calder Cup.  Both series start tonight, by the way.  Just remember to root against Norfolk because Harvard sucks.

As for the lower minors and Europe, I don't have time to look into them, though I do remember reading a few weeks ago that the Abbotts' Swedish team had the best record in the regular season but an early exit from the SEL playoffs, and that Cam missed the whole season due to injury.  And here's a video interview with Chris.

Thank you Josh. This made my day **]

Ben Scrivens shutout game one

AHL West Final

The Marlies must have one of those system things.

The Barons should pull their sieve.

Or at least put up a really obnoxious website to advertise how amazing their goaltender is while being on a bad team.

(I know the Barons aren't bad...just let me make my joke, OK?)

Ben Scrivens shutout.

[Roy 82]

Anything else worth mentioning about Scriven's shutout that you may have noticed in the article?

Oh, I don't know, hmmm, maybe this:

"Yann Danis made 10 saves on 12 shots in defeat. He was replaced by David LeNeveu to start the third period."

Nice to see Lenny get some playoff action.  He saw and stopped only three shots in the third; the Marlies scored their third goal after he was pulled for an extra attacker.
