Didn't PC Drouin get in a game or two?

KeithK · February 03, 2006, 03:00:25 AM

Yes, he had a cup of coffee with the Bruins.

A few other non-defensemen who played in the NHL - probably listed here in decreasing number of games:
Brian Hayward, Darren Eliot, Brian McCutcheon, Larry Fullan.

Dartmouth/ECAC alumni doing well:

Murray got his first NHL point last night, assisting on a Scott Thornton goal. He finished +2 on the night, but the sharks lost to the wild 3-2 in the shootout.

If only someone had thought to mention that last night. :-P

Haha...my bad. The sudden flurry of activity in this thread distracted me!

Can Murray's first point be discussed enough? The boy deserves lots of mention. I'll have to give the Doug Murray Bobblehead a good shake today! Go Dougie!!!!

Might be a tad out of date.

Excellent list...missing Underhill from 2004 (i think), and only 2006 reference is Leneveu. Tredway's entry is strange with no games played. Didn't he get called up for a playoff game and never play in the regular season? Also, Jason Elliott sat on (near?) the bench as emergency goalie for Detroit during one Stanley Cup drive. I know he never saw the ice, so I am not sure if this counts. I also wonder if that was enough to get Jason's name on the Stanley Cup?

Underhill got called up and played one game for the Blackhawks in '03-'04 when they had their top four goalies hurt.

KeithK · February 03, 2006, 01:48:02 PM

Anyone know exactly what "NHL All-Stars (First Team)" means exactly? I'm guessing that Joe has made a few All-Star teams in his tenure but he's not listed (only Dryden is). So did the NHL use an All-Star system similar to All-Maericans back in the 70's? Or am I just missing something?

Per hockeydb.com, Brock played in one playoff game in 1982 for the L.A. Kings but didn't register a point.

Our friend needs to update this in TBRW. Kind of like updating the fact that Dan Ratushny, likely the most dominant defenseman in Cornell's history, is not listed as playing for the Canadian world junior team in '90 and '91 or as having been a big contributor to Canada's 1992 Olympic team. :-)

I know, I know........the day job gets in the way.

While no one can argue with updating the TBRW data base to reflect Ratushny's achievements, some (Hyla and I, for instance) might disagree with the above assertion.;-)
