redwing77 Posted October 30, 2003 Posted October 30, 2003 Too bad the Penguins only have Mario. He's too old to be effective defensively and so Fleury is high and dry. That being said, BLAKE RULES! Quote
schmidtdoggydog Posted October 31, 2003 Author Posted October 31, 2003 Florida recalled Lee Goren today. Quote
PCM Posted October 31, 2003 Posted October 31, 2003 During one of its game breaks, ESPN showed Greg Johnson scoring a goal for Nashville and noted that he scored 74 goals while at North Dakota. Quote
Wantagh Posted October 31, 2003 Posted October 31, 2003 Lee Goren had a power play assist in the game tonight. It's nice to see him getting the chance to play some. But anyhow, Way to go Lee. Quote
Goon Posted October 31, 2003 Posted October 31, 2003 Actually Greg Johnson scored 2 goals against Detroit tonight. Quote
southpaw Posted October 31, 2003 Posted October 31, 2003 The Devils activated RW Turner Stevenson off the injured list and placed rookie D David Hale on it with a groin injury Quote
sioux fan in phoenix Posted October 31, 2003 Posted October 31, 2003 That sucked, Devils are finally on tv & Hale injures his groin a couple days b4 it's televised... Quote
redwing77 Posted October 31, 2003 Posted October 31, 2003 Pretty stoked about the point. I hope his AHL days are at a close. Off to the races in the NHL. Quote
Smoggy Posted November 1, 2003 Posted November 1, 2003 Blake scored his fourth of the year today. Looks like he's on his way to another solid season. Quote
sprig Posted November 1, 2003 Posted November 1, 2003 Hale, back off the IR, played in NJ's 4-3 win over Colorado today. Quote
kr Posted November 1, 2003 Posted November 1, 2003 During one of its game breaks, ESPN showed Greg Johnson scoring a goal for Nashville and noted that he scored 74 goals while at North Dakota. Saw/heard that too... NHL2 crew mentioned Gregg's goal, then showed the 2nd one and mentioned UND ..... just about fell out of the chair when Barry Melrose and his buddies gave props to a college player. Quote
redwing77 Posted November 3, 2003 Posted November 3, 2003 Lee Goren was sent down to the AHL today Quote
CoteauRinkRat Posted November 3, 2003 Posted November 3, 2003 I watched Lee Goren play while he was up and did not play well at all. In his second shift up, he tried a cross-ice pass in his own zone which was picked off and the Senators scored on. Quote
Canuck Posted November 3, 2003 Posted November 3, 2003 Hard to believe we were watching the same game, because I couldn't disagree more. The giveaway occured later in the game - definitely not his second shift. He had been logging a ton of minutes to that point and was on the top line with Kozlov and Huselius, as well as regular PP minutes. With the exception of the defensive-zone giveaway, he played outstanding and was described in one game story as being a force on the power play. He finished with 20+ minutes and took a regular shift even after the giveaway. Things didn't go as well Sat. night against San Jose...I believe he was -3 and the line he was matched up against lit up the Panthers. He said it seemed like everytime he stepped on the ice, the puck went in the net before he had a chance to even get involved in the play. Hopefully he gets back to the show sooner than later. Quote
CoteauRinkRat Posted November 3, 2003 Posted November 3, 2003 Loved how you glossed over the fact that he might have been the worst player on the ice against San Jose. His lack of speed and agility really hurt his game when he is up playing big time hockey. Quote
jk Posted November 3, 2003 Posted November 3, 2003 Actually I don't think he glossed over it so much as he directly disagreed with it. It's just a difference of opinion, and I think I like his version better, what with me being a fan of former Sioux players. Quote
CoteauRinkRat Posted November 3, 2003 Posted November 3, 2003 I'm a huge fan of the fighting sioux, but that doesn't mean you have to always drink the kool-aid. Lee Goren was a very good goal scorer in college. His game evolved a great deal from when he first started playing, but his game at various levels in the pro has been very very inconsistent. Do I want him to succeed? Of course, but that doesn't mean I can't point out when he has a bad game. Quote
Canuck Posted November 3, 2003 Posted November 3, 2003 I said he was -3 and his line got lit up. How exactly is that glossing over it? The only part I disagreed with you on was your summary of his play against the Senators. You stated he did not play well at all in that game, when in fact he was one of the best players on the ice, with the exception of one giveaway. Quote
schmidtdoggydog Posted November 4, 2003 Author Posted November 4, 2003 8:19 PM EST, 11/03/2003 Jason Blake sprains right knee, knocked out of game against Ottawa UNIONDALE, N.Y. (AP) -- New York Islanders forward Jason Blake was knocked out of Monday night's game with a sprained right knee when he was checked into the boards in the first period Monday night. Blake was skating along the left-wing half boards when he was hit with a low hip check by Ottawa forward Daniel Alfredsson. Blake was on his back when attended to by Islanders trainers. He skated to the bench and sat there for a few minutes before being escorted to the dressing room. He is expected to be re-evaluated Tuesday morning. The left winger is tied for second on the Islanders with four goals and is fourth with eight points. Blake is coming off a stellar campaign last season when he had career highs of 25 goals and 30 assists. Quote
CoteauRinkRat Posted November 4, 2003 Posted November 4, 2003 I thought Blake might have been hurt worse than it sounds like he was. Hoping he makes it back soon. Quote
Goon Posted November 6, 2003 Posted November 6, 2003 Nov. 4) LW Jason Blake will miss two weeks with a knee sprain after suffering the injury on Monday vs. Ottawa. He will be placed on injured reserve. The Islanders have recalled C Justin Mapletoft from the Bridgeport Sound Tigers (AHL). In 10 games this season, Mapletoft has recorded 10 points (7-3-10). The 6-1, 200-pound Mapletoft has appeared in 11 NHL games, recording two goals and two assists. Quote

Or am I wrong? Quote

redwing77 Posted November 6, 2003 Posted November 6, 2003 The post was half serious. I don't know who he is really. He must have been here or around either before 1998 or between 200 and 2002 Quote
