Alumni News 2018-19

[Jim Hyla]

New title :-) but I won't start a list till after Thursday. The wife tore a muscle above her knee replacement and has surgery this Thursday.

Here's last years list and if you know of changes, or if you know that it's the same, post it and I'll try and accumulate all the data and keep it up to date going forward. After Thursday I'll try going thru the old thread and grab what's been mentioned. But there are a lot of names that haven't been discussed. So if you know something, please post it, so I don't have to check all the rosters to see if an alum is still there.

Thanks

A few updates. Riley Nash now with Columbus (NHL), Alex Rauter with the Wheeling Nailers (ECHL), and Jacob McDonald with Florida (NHL). And it's the Worcester Railers, not Mailers, for Kubiak, Gillam and Tschantz.

I think this was already shared elsewhere on eLF, but Scrivens has apparently retired and is now Denver's team manager, in addition to being a master's student there: https://denverpioneers.com/news/2018/9/6/mens-ice-hockey-ben-scrivens-named-team-manager.aspx

Another story on the Denver site reported on then-up-coming student hockey ticket camp-out.  https://denverpioneers.com/news/2018/9/18/mens-ice-hockey-student-ticket-camp-out-set-for-friday-september-28.aspx  Not suppressed, not tolerated, but encouraged.

Ryan, Joakim San Jose Barracuda (AHL)--10/12/17 San Jose Sharks (NHL)

Ryan is getting some ice time tonight in the Sharks/Kings game.

On the Sharks broadcast, the 2nd intermission featured Douglas "Crankshaft/Cranky" Murray as studio analyst.  A bit stiff in his analyis (or delivery of it). I'm not sure if the talking head gig is permanent or if he will be a rotating analyst.

The calendar says it is football and hockey season, but it is still hot, humid with our daily dose of afternoon rain in Southwest Florida .

Congrats to Jacob MacDonald, who scored in his NHL debut (video below)! The Panthers ended up losing 2-1 in a shootout to Tampa.

At first I too thought that Douglas was kind of stiff. But I listened to him a bit more and in the postgame show. He actually has a very dry and somewhat snarky sense of humor. He was kind of fun to listen too. He was just filling in for another person and so I am not sure how much more we will get to listen to him.

MacDonald sent down.

Ryan gets the crap beat out of him by Bogosian but the Sharks kicked butt and so he had the last laugh.

Joakim Ryan on the verge of losing his spot in the Sharks' lineup:

Throughout most of the first two months of the season, DeBoer cut his blue line down to five guys late in games, keeping Ryan pinned to the bench. He's already showing more trust in Simek, and after Monday's win, the Sharks coach made it clear that he wants Simek to lock down the job on a permanent basis.

Ryan displayed similar poise in that spot as a rookie last season, but he hasn't played with enough assertiveness, in DeBoer's eyes, this year to keep his grip on the job. As a result, the door opened up for Simek and he's bursting through.

DeBoer is overplaying Karlsson, Burns and Pickles.  Everyone needs to earn their ice time.  Karlsson's ice time is down somewhat versus Ottawa, but you have multiple stud defensemen now.  Ryan's ice time is down 5 minutes per game compared to last year.  That's huge.  I find it hard to believe that he's gotten worse.  

I'd have Karlsson and Burns earn their way to 23-24 mins a night versus just handing them that time every game.  Playing their 6th defenseman as little as they do (particularly in the 3rd period) is a good way to make a talented team a .500 team.

Karlsson isn't off to a very effective start in San Jose (understatement).

[Jeff Hopkins '82]

Went to the Lehigh Valley - Springfield game tonight here in Allentown.  Jake MacDonald scored Springfield's only goal.  Reece Willcox had two assists for LV and earned 2nd Star of the game.

I got aa couple dirty looks when I cheered when I heard MacDonald's name.

[RatushnyFan]

Truly fantastic response from Riley Nash on Twitter......directed at an individual who bemoaned the CBJs signing him

Riley's response

I saw Riley play Dec 23rd vs the New Jersey Devils.  Played 7 minutes in a dominating 3-0 CBJ win.  Tough to score when you're not on the ice much, you're on the fourth line, and your job is to dump the puck deep and not let the other team score.  His numbers will change when his role changes.

[Trotsky]

That is great.
