Rögle BK :s club management and board announce today that sporting director Chris Abbott and head coach Cam Abbott are leaving the club.

Thanks for everything!

A really terse sendoff.  I hope that they're off to bigger and better things.

Here's a really fascinating article about them in The Athletic, March 2021.  It has very nice things to say about Mike Schafer and Cornell.

On the subject of alumni in Europe: Joel Lowry and Jake Weidner are teammates in the German second-tier league, playing for the Kassel Huskies. Weidner is their 3rd leading scorer (and Lowry 5th) in the current season.

I started a Malinski thread on Avs reddit and it is super positive so far.

With Cale Makar temporarily out, Malinski is getting time on the PP2 tonight.

Malinski on the board!

Here is his interview as the first star of the game:

And here's the video of Sam's one-timer bomb from the half boards. Not a bad way to score your first!

Pretty goal.

Red on Red violence.  MacDonald just got a 5 minute major and a game misconduct for boarding Malinski.

An interesting video about a young Matt Stienburg. His health issues predated his time at Cornell.  At 15, he had osteomyelitis and underwent two shoulder surgeries.  A tough kid.

Red on Red violence.  MacDonald just got a 5 minute major and a game misconduct for boarding Malinski.

Malinski did return to the game after getting some repairs. The hit itself didn't actually look too terrible: it was compounded by Malinski tripping and falling into the boards at the same time that MacDonald was finishing his check.

Barron scored the OT winner in the Winnipeg-Montreal game tonight, but not Morgan: his younger brother Justin won it for the Habs (with Morgan on the ice trying to kill the penalty) in the battle of the Barron brothers.

Justin Barron, 22, b. 11/15/01, Morgan's brother:

Ben Berard scored his first professional goal Wednesday for Texas Stars.  He was Third Star after the unassisted goal proved to be the game winner.

Anthony Angello also had an unassisted goal the same night in a separate AHL game for Milwaukee.

Jeff Kubiak assisted on a Cole Bardreau goal that ended up the game winner earlier this evening.

Max Andreev had the game winning goal tonight for Kansas City in the ECHL. In 27 pro games this season he has nine goals and 24 assists for 33 points!

Way to go boys.
