Alumni in the Pros - November 2013

[jeff '84]

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

.... And makes 23 saves in Kings 3-2 win.

.... And another 26 saves in 2-0 shutout of the Devils!

Riley Nash was Carolina's first shooter in the shootout tonight and he converted, with the 'Canes going on to defeat Anaheim 3-2.

Even though it doesn't show up in the box score (just a +1), Colin Greening was key on the forecheck (got the Ottawa radio guys really excited) that led to Chris Neil's unassisted goal to put Ottawa on the scoreboard in what was eventually a 4-2 Sens win.  Ottawa only had 6 shots in the first period, and 7 in the second, so it was almost like listening to Cornell :-P.

Even from way up high in the Prudential Center cheap seats ($55), Ben Scrivens seemed not to have a career night but New Jersey couldn't capitalize on a couple first-period miscues, and Scrivens wound up with 26 saves and 0 GA in the the 2-0 win for the Kings and first star of the game (NJ goalie Cory Schneider 1 late GA + 1 ENG) was second star). When the Devils' Damien Brunner couldn't get his stick on the puck for an in-close shot, the fight fan next to us yelled, "Jesus, that's Ben SCRIVENS you're shooting at." No respect yet, Ben.

Too bad Cornell doesn't have a jumbotron (heresy) in Lynah if only for this: In the third period, the fan cam shows a Devils fan (cheers), a Kings fan (boos), a Devils fan (cheers), a Kings fan wearing a purple crown (louder boos), a good looking Devils fan (louder cheers), and two fans in Islanders and Rangers jerseys (insanely loud boos). This is not good for the NHL in Newark: You bring a bag of food for the homeless, you get a four-pack of tickets to a future game (okay, for the day before Thanksgiving), and the place was just over half full (announced: 12,168).

Riley Nash set up Nathan Gerbe for a shortie tonight, although the Blues would end up winning 4-2.

Watching Scrivens on TV vs. Rangers. Lots of talk about him during first period. "Another one of those Cornell goaltenders," Rangers color announcer Joe Micheletti said. "He's not Ken Dryden yet, but they went to the same school." Scrivens playing well in early going, but also getting lucky on a few near-misses by Rangers.

[sah67]

Scrivens comes away with his second consecutive shutout as the Kings beat the Rangers 1-0.

[ebilmes]

Scrivens and the Kings beat the Rangers, 1-0. Three shutouts for Ben in his first five starts for LA. It was great to see Dominic Moore's goal disallowed (kicked it in).

A nice mention of our 2010 ECAC run!

NYT mentioned he hasn't given up a goal in 2 1/2 games.

"Much like his most recent streak, Scrivens was short on words."

Red Smith, RIP.

Well they have been one of, if not the best, puck possession teams in the NHL since acquiring Jeff Carter at the deadline in 2012. Helps to play behind a team that dominates the run of play.

Scrivens named as the NHL's first star of the week.
