Forward Matt Reid got in the Underhill's way and guided the goalie back to his crease as he continued to shout at the referee.

For trivia's sake, Matt Reid played for Clarkson.

Just FYI....right now in the Boston area on CN8 is a replay of the ECHL allstar game w/ Paolini and Mark Macrae!!

[cornelldavy]

I happened to turn that on just in time to catch Paolini's goal...kind of a soft goal, actually...the goalie got a piece of it.

FYI...you can bid on the game-worn jerseys from the ECHL all-star game, as well as the 13 pucks used to score goals (unfortunately, it doesn't tell you which puck was which goal, they're just called pucks 1-13, and I'm not sure that they're in order). http://members.ebay.com/aboutme/echlgameworn/
The jerseys are signed, and the proceeds go to charity.

Kind of out of my price range, but Paolini's #13 is here:

[q]Baby lifts Wolves past Grizzlies
Daily Herald Reports
Posted 1/24/04

WEST VALLEY CITY, Utah - A late third-period goal by Stephen Baby gave the Chicago Wolves a 2-1 victory over the Utah Grizzlies at The "E" Center on Friday night.

The victory snapped the Wolves' five-game road winless streak.

The Wolves (22-14-6-3) won their ninth consecutive game over the Grizzlies, dating to last season. The Grizzlies (14-24-4-3) have lost four consecutive games.

Baby notched the game-winning goal when he fired a pass from Eric Healey past goalie Jason Bacashihua at 15:44 of the final period.

Not sure if he's been mentioned in this thread, but Bullets Over Bradway got an assist last night, his 6th point of the season:

Well this will probably be the last post for this thread, since January is coming to an end....

Anyway, nothing too exciting to write about, but.....in the AHL last night, Springfield lost its fourth game in its last five. LeNeveu had 22 saves on 24 shots in the 2-1 loss to Worcester. Last weekend, he had 29 saves on 32 shots in a 3-2 loss while Pelletier had 34 saves in a 2-1 win.

Doug Murray, who I've noticed has had a minus rating for several of the past few games for Cleveland had a good night last night, with a +2 rating in a 4-1 win. (And it wasn't just the current Cornell players getting 5 minute majors last night....Murray had a 5 minute major penalty for fighting).

By the way, Chicago (Baby) and Cleveland (Murray) will play each other a couple times next month. That should be interesting...

With two assists, Nieuwendyk was one of the 'three stars' in last night's Leafs win.

Brad Chartrand with 7 seconds left in the first period of the Kings-Oilers game.  The Kings don't play on Hockey Night in Canada often, so I'd imagine this goal was especially sweet.

And his daughter Tyra was given one of the other stars too? =)

Last night, Baby had a goal and an assist in a Chicago win, and Murray had an assist in a Cleveland win. Go Barons!!  They're coming on strong down the stretch.

I know it's not January, but this involves January success:

* Defenseman Mark McRae has six assists in his last five games.

On Jan. 31st, Baby recorded his third GWG at 19:59 of the first period in a 5-3 win against the Mighty Ducks.  IIRC, that's also his birthday.  Nice birthday present, I'd say
