Barron had the late go-ahead goal for the Jets against Anaheim last night:

I was watching the replay of the Jets-Caps game the other day.  Barron was getting a lot of ice time, including both on the power play and the PK.

Also, Riley Nash was playing with the Charlotte Checkers this past weekend.

Barron scored his third goal of the season last night in a loss to Las Vegas. As noted he's getting lots of ice time, and is one of the regulars on the PK. Nice to see his pro career starting to take off.

Even better that he's not doing it for the Rangers.

Apparently Riley Nash on the Team Canada Spengler Cup team, as a captain.

Looks like Canada went 0-2, but they may not be done

Barron with an empty net shortie on the PK to seal Winnipeg's 4-2 win over the Lightning last night. He's settled in as an effective player on the Jets' 3rd line and is one of the team's key penalty killers. And a couple of days ago he won the Jets' fastest skating competition, which is something considering the biggest knock on him coming out of Cornell was whether his skating was NHL quality.

Great for Barron and the Jets, but as a Rangers fan this is more evidence that Gerard Gallant is poison for young players.

Didn't Colin Greening win a fastest skater competition at an NHL all star game?

I also think GG is a meathead but not convinced of that take of him as poison for young players.  Fox, Lindgren, Miller, Schneider, Chytil, Kakko all thriving.  He's also giving Blais a lot more chances than he's earned and finally giving Gauthier and Kravtsov time. I wish Morgan got more of a shot with the Rangers but I think it's more timing than a bias by GG. Barron is actually the type of player Gg and most coaches are biased in favor of-big, physical, good defensively with some offense thrown in.

I think GG makes it harder for young players to flourish. And as for Blais, Barron is turning into the player the Rangers thought they were trading for when they acquired Blais in that god-awful trade for Bucenevich

[arugula]

Yes. Perhaps Blais would've gone to Winnipeg instead of MB if PK Subban hadn't torn Blais' ACL

Figured I'd ask this here, although it's not "pros yet.

I'm "watching" the women's U18 match between the US and Sweden.  The announcers mentioned that one of the US players was heading to Cornell.  They also said that her mother went there.  Anybody know which player she is?

It's goalie Annelies Bergmann.

According to USCHO, there are 4 players on the Canadian and U.S. U18 teams committed to Cornell:
* Canada D Piper Grober
* U.S. G Annelies Bergmann
* U.S. D Rose Dwyer (younger sister of current D Grace, and another sister, Lucy, plays for the lacrosse team)
* U.S. F Lindzi Avar

Looks like Dwyer might be a Fall 2024 commit and the rest are Fall 2023.

I was hesitant to post this, as eLynah is largely a politics-free zone, but attacking hockey goes just too far!  Disney is one thing, but the NHL?

[Governor Ron] DeSantis' office was made aware of a diversity program the NHL runs to draw job talent from outside of its workforce, which is disproportionately white and male. DeSantis press secretary Bryan Griffin said the upcoming Pathway to Hockey Summit, which is set to take place in Fort Lauderdale on Feb. 2 during the NHL's All-Star Game festivities, amounts to discrimination.

DeSantis' office zeroed in on a new culprit in the anti-white culture war: the National Hockey League. Why? Because in a LinkedIn post, the NHL marketed the event specifically to people who are women, veterans, Black, Asian, Pacific Islander, Hispanic, Latino, Indigenous, LGBTQ or disabled.

According to Fox News, the NHL deleted its post from LinkedIn on Friday night, with a league spokesperson saying the Pathway to Hockey Summit is open to anyone 18 and older.
