Alumni in the Pros: November 2012

Ben Scrivens was, unfortunately, on the the wrong side of history last night, as the Abbotsford Heat tied a North American record by scoring two goals on him (both short-handed) in the span of 3 seconds. The second goal was scored off the center ice faceoff that resulted from the first goal:

Man, "rant" is definitely the right word.

Evan Barlow is a hot commodity.

Evan Barlow is a hot commodity.

Damn. Had I known that Barlow was a Bull I would have gone to see them sooner. Went to my first game on Friday.

The best parts were that they sell cowbells for use as noisemakers and the cheerleader-like ice crew is called the Cowbelles. A natural marketing fit.

Via ECAC, Scriven's highlight video.

In case anyone else is wondering, as I was, why the name of Barlow's teammate David Marshall rings a bell, he was one of the top scorers in the ECAC for Quinnipiac in 2008-09.

Was he there in 06-07?  I'm pretty sure I accused a Marshall on Quinnipiac of medalling in Women's Diving during the postseason that year.  Which, in retrospect, sounds fairly misogynistic.  Man, being a grad student in English takes the fun outta everything.

Keep with it, the kneejerk stuff stops being taken seriously* after about 1998, and by the 4th wave your joke is funny again, at least to hockey fans.

(* granted, most of your professors got their degrees before 1998 and will still be laying down the Orthodoxy.  Be gentle with them; they have not long to go.)

I'd still be throwing out the same comment if I were at a game today.  Dude was diving like whoa.  But I might feel slightly bad about it after.

Dude was diving like whoa.

I misread that as "Dude was diving like a whoa" at first, with the last word being a phonetic spelling of a Boston accent. That would be stepping up the misogyny a bit!
