LOL.  I think he'll be hearing about that for a long, long time...

Moulson got his official welcome to Buffalo as he (and the rest of the top line) were benched for the last period-and-a-quarter of the Sabres' ugly 6-2 loss to Anaheim:

And Moulson responds: "It's the most embarrassed I've been in my career."

We have better alumni news tonight. Sean Collins got his first NHL point tonight in Washington.

In addition, Jonathan Quick left tonight's Kings game with a lower-body injury. If the injury is significant, Ben Scrivens will get a lot of playing time.

If the injury is significant, Ben Scrivens will get a lot of playing time.

Unfortunately for Scrivens, he didn't have a whole lot of time to get into the game after replacing Quick near the end of regulation. Matt Moulson scored the deciding shootout goal on him, giving Buffalo their first home win of the season. Moulson also had two assists in regulation.

And America will suffer in the Olympics. So here's to a quick recovery for the best American goalie.

Matt could have ended the game, but missed the back-door lay-up on a 2 on 1 break.  It was pretty embarrassing.  I felt bad for him, and was happy he scored as Buffalo's first shootout shooter.

Was Ted Nolan the coach of the Islanders when Moulson was brought in?

Was Ted Nolan the coach of the Islanders when Moulson was brought in?

No.

According to Wikipedia, Nolan was hired in NY in June of '06 and fired in July of '08.  Moulson signed with the Islanders in July 2009.

Quick was sent home for medical evaluation.  Scrivens should start tonight at the Islanders.  The Kings called up Martin Jones from Manchester.
