UAH Dog Days of Summer 2010: All By Myself....

So Uusivirta committed...

Okay, he's gonna need a nickname, and fast. Can you imagine what Ross would do to that name? Remember when he spelled Dave Nicoletti's name on the back of his jersey Nicolete? Makes me laugh just thinking about it...

No. Link?

It's from the comment thread on the CCHA's new playoff format. I believe that particular poster was referring to the initial application. To my knowledge the issue of UAH's application to the CCHA has not been brought up for reconsideration by the league.

1. I vote Goose.

2. I really love how, after four years, Doug kept calling Joel Bresciani "Bres-kee-annie", rather than "Bresh-ee-ah-nee". FOUR YEARS!

That's my understanding as well. A formal application, or a reconsideration of the previous one, would quite likely have been publicly commented upon by Anastos after a vote by the schools. Likewise, if it had been an issue, I think I would have heard from Danton by now.

Hey, that's one for the CHA All-name team--oh, wait...

So Uusivirta committed. I saw him at the 2010 NCAA selection show with Matti, but did not speak to him at all.

More seriously, I hope Matti's decision to leave doesn't affect Uusivirta's decision to come to UAH.

Given that Goose is listed as committed after it was public knowledge that Matti was leaving, I don't think it's an issue. To wit: I didn't know the kid's name until I saw it on Heisenberg's site.

1. I can live with Goose but I'll bet we don't get to "nick-name" him... the coaches and/or the other players will end up calling him something other than his given surname. And you can take that to the bank!!

2. What about Dwayne Blais (pronounced "Blah"). Ross called him Blaze for four years... though I must admit, I liked Blaze better.

A. I'm gonna pre-empt that, man.

B. Pretty much everyone in the student body called him Blaze. That or Moose.

Wrote a wee bit about the Finnish connection tonight. Uusivirta : Finnish :: Nystrom : Swedish :: "new stream" : English. I'm still callin' him Goose.

I've seen a single report that Scott Munroe is headed to the Russian KHL next year, but just the one report. It's a shame that I don't still have a working cell number on Muny, or I'd just call him.

If true, that is a real shame...

I know Scott's been called up by Philly before - any chance he gets called up to back-up Leighton, or be a practice goalie with Boucher hurt? Or is he not with the Flyers anymore?

Signed with the Isles prior to the 2009-10 season, before the Isles picked up more NHL-experienced guys to sub for DiPietro.

On a UAH note: Jared Ross has been recalled to PHI to play with the Flyers against the Bruins. ...

The good news was that Jared had no -'s in his three games. The bad news was that the Flyers were 0-3 with him in the lineup, that he averaged less than 5 min. of ice time each game, and that the value of a Simon Gagne over a Jared Ross was highlighted. I'm still hoping that the Flyers make it to the finals, that an injury/suspension lets Jared get at least one game in the finals, and that the Flyers win it. It might be a "rinky dink" way for a guy to get his name on the cup, but it'd still be cool.
