David LeNeveu Traded

[Riz1282]

The AHL homepage announced that Lenny was traded to Planet USA for tonight's game!  Each side only has two goalie's now.  More playing time perhaps?

Bait and switch. :-(  You bastard. :-P

[Jordan 04]

Clever.  Very clever.

Wrong.  Very wrong.

Lenny's gonna be playing alongside former Hobey Baker winner Ryan Miller, who may be inadvertently responsible for Lenny *not* getting the Hobey last year.  I know it's not really Miller's fault, but still...grr...

Uh-oh, does this mean Melissa will have to root for the USA? :-}

[Ben Doyle 03]

she has no choice ... ;-)

Lenny didn't sound too excited about the switch in his pre-game interview.

At least someone finally figured out that LeNeveu's CU is Cornell, not Colgate.

I thought that was pretty funny...
Interviewer:  So for tonight, you're proud to be an American, right?!
Lenny:  ...
Lenny:  ...I guess so.

Those of us sitting in #lynah are taking credit for that, since we all simultaneously used the Fox Sports feedback form to notify them of their error. :-D

Thanks.  I wanted to call someone, but didn't know who tho bitch to.  I figured that the way they repeatedly mentioned Cornell at the end of the period meant somebody got to them.

Come on John. You know better than that! :-P

I was perplexed when I saw him playing for planetUSA last nite. Cheered loud for Canada all the same. One player (albeit a Cornellian) does not a traitor make!

Really?  I rooted for both Canadian teams in the Olympics because of Joe and Dana.

I was also cheering for the Swiss guy on PlanetUSA. B-]

And that's cool - but Canadians seem to align themselves with their national hockey teams to a huger extent than Americans do. Despite having Lenny on the team I was rooting against PLUSA wholeheartedly. I cheered everytime we scored on him - and then felt a little bad for doing it but was happy all the same. For a country that prides itself on hockey and views it as such an integral part of its identity there are few reasons whatsoever to cheer for the opposition - tho I'm sure Lenny's parents were at least riding the fence - and rightfully so with a famaily member playing!

I should also point out that when Canada is out of contention I normaly cheer for the US. I'm not a hater - just have to exhibit my "true patriot love"!
