Alumni in the Pros Nov. '04

[jbeaber1998]

Just got back from the Baron's game against Edmonton out in San Jose.  Yes, weird combination.  Murray was out after having hip surgery last week.  He thinks he'll be back in a week or so.  He took time to chat with a bunch of Cornell alum who came to the game.  He visited between the 2nd and 3rd period as well as a meet an greet after the game.  I just want to say thanks to him and all the people who set it up.  It's great to have players who still appreciate their fans and make time for them.  And, man, the Barons looked lost without their assistant captain....  0-2 and it wasn't pretty....

I am heading out to Cleveland for Murray bobblhead night, what are the chances we could meet Murray after the game?  I just hope we actually get to see him play!

Yeah, the Barons game last night was ugly.  I would've tried to stop by the meet-and-greet but I had no idea where it was and the friend I came with had two kids waiting at hime, so he didn't want to loiter.

I agree with Keith and John, ugly game last night.  However, it was nice to be able to see live hockey!  It's probably the only game I'll get to see this year, so I'm not going to complain too much.  Having said that, the power play was terrible (my friend and I agreed they were better off at full strength) and they really need to learn how to play against the boards.  Regardless, it was great to meet Murray and get my jersey signed.  :-)

Brian, I'm guessing there's a place where fans can get autographs as the players leave the arena if you want to meet Murray.  In San Jose, it's behind the arena outside the gated players parking lot.

Greg Hornby was picked up by the Florida Everblades and played his first professional game last night...the Everblades lost to Idaho, 3-2, and Hornby was -1 with 2 SOG...but more importantly, he picked up a pair of fighting majors...nice to see he hasn't skipped a beat.

Wondering if anybody knows what exactly Murray did to his hip flexor.  I found an article saying he is not expected back any time this month.  I've also heard that he had to have surgery.  Any truth to these statements and what does that mean for his future in the long run.

The surgery was in May and it was to repair a damaged Labrum in his shoulder.  I believe he had finished his rehab and then injured his hip.

I was already aware of the shoulder injury but I heard that he had to have surgery on his hip.

Is that Baby or Hornby?::fight::

I didn't get a chace to talk to Murray much at the meet-and-greet, but he did say that he had skated that afternoon.

Rough night for Leneveu, as he gave up 6 goals on 26 shots before being pulled for Pelletier (who stopped 4 of 5 shots he faced).   Utah lost to Milwaukee 7-3.

Murray played tonight and assisted on a PPG, but Cleveland lost to Grand Rapids 3-2.  

Baby continues to rack up the penalty minutes, he's got 43 in 13 games played so far this season...last year he had a total of 72 in 68 games played.

Vesce still leads Rogle in Sweden's Tier II league in scoring with 7g/14a.

I can't find standings to see how the team is doing in the league overall though.

[Brian]

Lenny rebounded from his last outing with 31 saves on 32 shots and got the win in a shootout.  I noticed Murray is out of the lineup again in Cleveland after a brief stint.

[Brian]

Baby scored a goal enroute to a 3-0 win last night.  Lenny was 32 for 33 in a 1-0 loss, his team is horrible!  The opposing goalie only made 22 saves!
