Alumni in the Pros -- Dec 2005

[Al DeFlorio]

Sharks-Ducks tied at 3 after two.  No hits or points for Dougie, but he was on the ice both times the Sharks were playing two-men down.

Grant Stevenson, of 2003 Mankato fame, has two of the Sharks goals.

Doug is apparently impressing the coaches.  I just notice that his ice time keeps going up.  He didn't get any shots or hits in last night's game, but he was 3rd in ice time, which looks to me like he's playing in the 2nd defensive pairing.  He also had 6 minutes of PK time, so they're looking to him as one of the primary penalty killers.   Lookin' good!

Doug picks up a five-minute fighting penalty for getting into it with the Coyotes' Doan after leveling Nagy with a big check.  Dumped Doan right on his butt.

Great hit, and Melrose's "Hit of the Night" on Sportscenter.  Yeah Dougie.

If interested, the hit is part of the NHL.com game highlights reel.

Solid night for Leneveu last night, he stopped 28 of 30 shots he faced in regulation and OT, and stoned all 5 shooters he faced in the shootout, helping San Antonio get a 3-2 win over Omaha.  Leneveu was named 1st star of the game.

Since getting sent back down to the AHL, Lenny is 2-1 with a 1.63 GAA and a .939 SV%

How about the fight?  Did he win?  The only evidence that I have seen so far is from the NHL photo wire on espn that shows Murray on top of Doan (I think) and Murray's helmet was knocked off.

The SportsCenter clip showed Doan skated over to Dougie who immediately pushed him on his back.  Doan threw a punch while on his back that hit Dougie but he was sitting on top of him and about to pound him.  The refs skated in and held him back since Doan was in a very vulnerable position.

By the way, Melrose's quote when showing the best hit of the night was too funny:  "Vladislov Nagy comes across, he dipsy doodles, he thinks everything is fine.  Big Dougie Murray comes across and lays the Rudy Poo (sp?) on him. What a hit!  Clean hit, no penalty.  Nagy's head is down and nearly taken off!"

That was priceless.  Go Dougie!!

In the traditional defense of his team's "honor," Captain Doan skated over to Murray after the hit looking to do battle.  Doug dropped his gloves, removed his helmet, and immediately dumped Doan on his ass.  As Doan started to swing up at Doug the scrap was broken up by the linesmen.

Troy Nickerson once won an all-star match against his high school opponent from Indiana with a pin in five seconds.  Doug came close to matching that last night.

The Murray Nagy hit and Doan take down can be found on the Sharks website.

thats one baaad...shut your mouth!

I know someone asks for this in every discussion of a video clip, but does anyone have the clip NOT in streaming video?  It's so choppy that all I see is the first few seconds, then it cuts out before the hit, then I see Doug taking off his helmet and then it skips to him laying on top of Doan.  Please help!

You know, I'm happy for Doug and all, but I really wish he'd stop beating up my fantasy players...
