It's almost here. If people post after the month, why can't I start it early?::uhoh::

Troy Davenport goes to Italy.

Aside from the Davenport item, the ECAC homepage is a complete QPac love-fest today.

Not every night you see this: a too-many-men call with eight skaters caught on the ice. Islanders at Devils, Islanders' Tavares-Moulson line is slow getting off ice with 1:30 to play and next line is on too quick, Islanders whistled for too many men. Islanders still win 5-4 on their own PPG in OT. Moulson got a goal (4th) and also was the victim of the OT cross-check that led to the Islanders' winning PP.

I saw that.  I haven't even seen that many skaters on the ice in my boys' youth hockey games.  Tavares is a beast and Moulson is playing well.  Not sure if it's too soon to say anything but the Islanders look much improved......

It's way too early.  The pp looks great and the offense is a wonder, but the defense is having troubles and we are always one Nabokov away from the endless torment that is DP.

It's great to see Matt playing well, and playing with such a perfect linemate.

The lockout helps them. Late-October to November has period the last couple seasons where they decide not to win any games.

To be honest, 1994-2012 was the period where we decided not to win any games.

Because of the upcoming Ragnaraugh or Harbaugeddon or Super Baugh or whatever you want to call the Harbaugh brothers coaching against each other on Sunday, Ken Dryden wrote about playing against his brother in the NHL.

Thanks for posting this.  It is so much better than anything else I have read this week on the suject.

Damn it!  Nailed me in the last paragraph after setting me up in the fourth-to-last.

That tall, goofy goalie might be onto something with this writing thing.

Don Cherry gave props to Moulson and Tavares during Hockey Night in Canada last night as the reason the Islanders are winning this year.  He then showed some examples of Moulson scoring goals because he keeps his stick on the ice, saying that most players would have it in the air on those plays.  Cherry later mentioned chatting with Moulson's dad recently at a midget skate.

Wow, playing hockey in Italy sounds SO MUCH BETTER than playing hockey in Russia/Estonia/Lithuania. Although it's probably not.

I have a feeling there are more varied extracurriculars, although supposedly nobody is harder partying than Latvian hockey players and fans.  They destroy the Olympic village every four years.
