This couldn't have felt too good for Riley:

Kerfoot on the Avs keep making me think of Carefoot.

Kerfoot was Hahvahd '17. I have an even easier rooting against the Avs because of that.

Ryan and the Sharks move on to round 3 with a 3-2 defeat of the Avs in game 7. They'll face the St. Louis Blues. Ryan's the sole remaining Cornellian in the Cup fight, as Riley Nash and the Blue Jackets dropped three in a row to the Bruins to lose 4 games to 2.

According to the Ivy League's tweet, Ryan is the only remaining Ivy Leaguer in the playoffs.

He is seeing limited playing time but, if IIRC (I can't find the stats to verify), not a single opponent's goal has been scored while he is on the ice.

Yeah, well....that's what limited playing time will do.  None have been scored while I was on the ice, either.

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.]

And it seems that Krueger père will be returning to Western New York: https://buffalonews.com/2019/05/14/buffalo-sabres-ralph-krueger-jason-botterill-nhl-news-2019/

From a companion article:

'When Ralph Krueger sought to find out more about the Sabres and the City of Buffalo, he went undercover in a handful of bars during a visit late last month.

The 59-year-old coach watched two Stanley Cup playoff games, switching venues at the conclusion of each period, and asked patrons about the team he could coach next season. The fact-finding mission revealed a passionate fan base in a city that embodies the blue-collar values he has instilled in players during his decades of coaching.

Krueger called the experience "enlightening," a visit that showed he and his wife, Glenda, they would feel comfortable calling Western New York home.'

BTW, an interview with Justin Krueger did show up (in Bärndütsch, in case you'd like to hear what that sounds like with a Canadian/German accent) after the team returned from their post-championship vacation in Madrid:

I guess it was a very good trip, given that he's still wearing sunglasses in the rain. B-]

Colin Greening, assistant captain,  scored a goal for the Toronto Marlies in game #1 of the conference finals on 5/18

[Swampy]

Didn't know where else to put this.

Jim Crozier '91, played goalie, won the Sam Woodside Award in 1991, and was drafted 19th by the Hartford Whalers in the NHL supplemental draft. His son Tristan plays for Brown, and another son, Maxwell, was just drafted 120th by Tampa Bay. As a defenseman in the USHL, he scored 43 points in 60 games. He will be attending Providence College this fall. At least it's nice the two brothers can see each other regularly.
