Makes sense. The AHL season ended yesterday.

Go Cole. Beat the Pens!

...except that article is from last Tuesday, and Cole didn't get any ice time yesterday. But maybe he'll get the nod soon.
He was not on the roster as of yesterday; maybe there was a problem with his call-up?

I'd love him to get TOI.

He's not mentioned on this ECAC tweet either https://twitter.com/ecachockey/status/1394288167054942213 They obviously tried to pad the list including RPI's Jeremy Coupal who played a total of one game on the varsity and now is a video coordinator. They also state that 12 teams are represented, and I don't see a certain school in Schenectady.

He's on the team's roster webpage, but I don't know how official that is.

Bardreau is eligible to play, but 24 forwards are. With many who have played this year having been healthy scratches recently (Zajac, Bellows, Dal Colle, Johnston), it's not likely he's in the first 16 from which to choose 12.

No goalies?

The NHL has a thing for tall goalies. Our goalies, while excellent, don't meet the height limit to ride the roller coaster.

Which reminds me, apropos of nothing in particular - after watching "Miracle" for the eleventy-hundredth time this weekend, dss28 and I tracked down the actual 1980 broadcast of the US vs. USSR medal round game and watched the entire thing. The few snippets we got of Ken Dryden in the Disney film were not an aberration - he was a Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad™ color commentator. Just awful. It's no wonder nobody hired him to do it again.

That said, he was one of the all-time great goaltenders, and a very nice guy when I met him. But UGH.

It takes a special kind of bad color commentating performance to bust in and clomp all over one of the greatest, most poetic, and most quoted play-by-play calls of all time. I hear Ken's clumsy "unbe-LEEEV-uble" at the end of Al Michaels exalting "YES!" every. single. time.

And those tight smurf-blue turtlenecks. At least that was decidedly not Ken's fault.

Wayne Gretzky is not a very good bridge player either. So?

No, but he seems to be excellent at peeing in your corn flakes.

Some say Dryden's political career plateaued because he was not considered a charismatic speaker. But he had other talent.s

Riley Nash signed a 1-year contract with the Jets.

Gotta be better than what they have.::cheer::

My point exactly.

Not gonna start a new thread.

Just watched the third period of the Canada - Finland women's game. Brianne Jenner with the empty netter to clinch Canada's 5-3 win and also an assist on the 3rd goal. Rebecca Johnston and Jill Saulnier got ice time, but didn't score (I believe).

Jamie Bourbonnais and Micah Zandee-Hart also on the roster, but I think they were healthy scratches
