Alumni in the Pros - March 2006

[Al DeFlorio]

Joe got one last night for the Panthers against the Caps, and needs one more for a 20-goal season.

Lenny makes 37 saves, including one with 7 seconds left, and Coyotes beat Chicago 4-3.

Great job Lenny.  Doug Murray has been a healthy scratch the last four games with San Jose.  Coach Wilson has indicated that Matt Carle is going to get a couple of starts on their current road trip so Doug may not be in the lineup for a while.  It is now official that rookie Josh Gorges is clearly a step ahead of Doug unless his prior injury is lingering (he's been termed a "healthy scratch", however).

And he has a gambling problem!! :-} http://www.mercurynews.com/mld/mercurynews/sports/hockey/nhl/san_jose_sharks/14174491.htm?source=rss&channel=mercurynews_san_jose_sharks

Sounds like he will get the start Saturday, too.  Here is a link to the Phoenix game report with some good words and a cool picture of Lenny.

Just thought I'd check and it seems like our old friend Underhill has really settled into the ECHL and is putting up quite a season. He's on the West division leading Alaska Aces, ranks second in GAA at 2.19, first in wins (33), tied for first in shutouts (5), and appear to be somewhere around 10th in save % (.919).

If he can keep it up, I have to wonder if he may make some appearances in the AHL, so those of us not in ECHL territory can maybe stop in for a game.

[David Harding]

And one of the goals he let in was on a 6x4 towards the end.

Underhill is on a two-way contract w/ Peoria of the AHL -- but he's not on their clear day roster...so he'll almost certainly be in Alaska the rest of the way.

For that matter, Baby was left off the clear day roster in Chicago. He's been out for about a month with an injury -- concussion I think. Not that the Wolves are making the playoffs.

Baby is ( I think) in the last year of his contract with the Thrashers... and to be fair, not very high on the depth chart. He hasn't realy developed the way atlanta hoped and is not concidered a top prospect (any more). Hope he is shopping for a new team.

[redice]

"clear day roster"    That's a new term (to me).  How is that different than just a "roster"?

[The Rancor]

post trade deadline, the AHL has a 'clear day' in which all players clear to play in the playoffs are declared.

[Chris \'03]

Carle scored in his NHL debut. Good for Matt... bad for Murray's playing time.

[Chris 02]

LeNeveu didn't fair so well last night.  He stopped 22 of 27 shots in a 5-2 Phoenix loss to Anaheim.

[cth95]

Phoenix @ San Jose for two games starting tonight.  Don't know if Doug is in the line up, but I imagine Lenny will play one of the games.  It would be pretty cool to see them on the ice at the same time.

In the mean time, you have to like this phrase, "Joseph, who backed up David LeNeveu the previous two games..." from the Phoenix website.  I hope this becomes the norm sometime in the near future, although I am sure it won't be with Cujo.  http://www.phoenixcoyotes.com/news/story_details.php?ID=4870

What's up with the scheduling?  A new definition of home and home?
