I hope Team Manager doesn't mean getting towels and water bottles to tired players.

That was a pretty goal.

Watching the Phantoms game right now.  The announcers refer to "The feisty one out of Cornell" after Bardreau makes a play.  :-D  He's definitely a fan favorite here in allentown.

Joakim Ryan picked up an assist in San Jose's 5-2 win over Vegas in game 5 last night.

Justin Krueger played his 400th game for SC Bern on Thursday, in SCB's 3-1 win on the road over EV Zug, which gave them a 3-1 lead in the championship series of the top league in Switzerland.  There was apparently a ceremony to honor him before tonight's Game Six back in Bern:

... and SCB won the match 2-1 to become Swiss Champions for the third time in four years: https://mysports.ch/a/5WDQDV68 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PIXDgmFlZNI

There's a postgame interview with his father (former Swiss national team coach and recent manager of Southampton Football Club in the English Premier League Ralph Krueger).  It's in German, but his Canadian accent might make it easier to follow: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aa5aLEbVr-g [FWIW, he speaks German faster and better than I remember him doing 20 years ago.  And considerably better than I do, of course.]

One other item of note: SCB's top scorer Marc Arcobello graduated from Yale in 2010 and kicked around the AHL and NHL for six years before landing in Bern.  I assume there was some sort of Krueger connection in the recruiting there, either from his ECAC days or his cup of coffee in Edmonton, which overlapped slightly with Ralph K's year coaching the Oilers.  (If I'm getting the timing right, Krueger coached Arcobello's first game in the show.)

Quote from: TrotskyA sophomore from Fitchburg State just jumped ship to sign with Thurgau, which is Swiss tier 2.  Gotta be a story behind that.

Homesick?

I should have thought of that.  Born: Uster, Sui.

Joakim Ryan '15 didn't have much ice time during the series, but the Sharks eliminated the Golden Nights last night, so Joakim joins Riley Nash of the Blue Jackets in the Stanley Cup second round.

I know this has been covered before, but which alumni besides Nash and Ryan played in the NHL this year?  Just Moulson?
