Around SBN: Shaq As Orlando Magic General Manager? Don't Bet On It

Daily Cupcakes- November 2nd, 2011

An update on Andy Sutton on Gabriel Landeskog's hit, and a quote by Andy. 

He wasn’t deemed a repeat offender because he was outside the 18-month window, having been suspended for two games for hitting the Pittsburgh PenguinsPascal Dupuis from behind while playing with the New York Islanders in January 2010.

A preview of the Colorado - Phoenix game.

The Avalanche, the league leaders with six road wins, had scored twice while dropping their first three in Denver.

"Even though we're 1-3 at home we've been in every game and probably should have won two or three," said center Matt Duchene, whose winner in the third period was his first goal in seven games. "We want to be a good home team."

Newcomer Semyon Varlamov could help make that happen. The former Washington Capital matched a career high for wins in a month with five after making 30 saves Sunday.

The monthly award for October have been handed out for the month of OHL.

Goaltender Of The Month: Brandon Maxwell (Sarnia Sting) Playing behind a guy like Nail Yakupov certainly makes it hard to get some love, but the play of goaltender Brandon Maxwell has been equally as important to the Sting’s success. The former Kitchener Rangers net-minder went 9-1 in October with a 1.85 GAA and a sizzling 0.95 save percentage helpnig backstop Sarnia to the second best record in the OHL.

The 20-year-old draftee of the Colorado Avalanche is second in the league in wins and save percentage, and ranks first in goals against.

Wow, an actual goalie in the system? How on earth could the Avs screw this up? I kid, I kid. But this team has had a pretty poor track record of developing goalies

Aebischer. Nope. Salo? Ha! Sauve? Nah. Theodore. Meh. Kolesnik? Hey bud, nice shootout against the Devils, but no. Budaj? You kidding? Anderson, close, but no cigar. Elliott? GET THE TANK!!! Varlamov and Giguere? To the playoffs...AND BEYOND!!

Unless I am mistaken, he was doing very poorly until this year.

A man who stole my whisky used the defense that no one could resist a bottle of Scotch. I had no choice but to testify on his behalf.

And the Avs had his right until this year? Hmmm, coincidence?

Wasn’t Maxwell released by Avs?

It was actually more of a “whose internet dick is bigger?” type argument…

Small sample size.

Datsyuk may have done it first, but he learned it from Peter Forsberg.

Thanks for everything Foppa!

Despite the height differential, we kept our elbows down and at our sides.

Datsyuk may have done it first, but he learned it from Peter Forsberg.

I had forgotten how ugly Sutton’s hit on Dupuis was.
