Gee, Ralph, I'm real sorry I didn't look back 100 freaking posts to find something you already said.

You didn't read it back then? You're too young to be getting senile.

Senility is popular with people even younger than me. It's the new hotness.

To be fair, I forgot the rating until RC re-posted it.

Apparently this is the next version of the draft ranking with Reno placed in the same grouping as he was in the earlier one. In the past, only the first one ranked players A, B, and C. Sorry.

Reading some more tweets, it sounds like he will be playing two more games for Waterloo. https://twitter.com/cmansSHA22/statu...37055579492352

That would be on 11/21 and 11/22.

Makes sense -- given the school holiday. Hope this means they like what they see!

Hopefully he also will grow. I have trouble believing that a 5'7" 150 lb d-man will be successful at either the USHL or NCAA level. Waterloo is playing to ight as indicated in the post you quoted. Also Omaha is playing Lincoln.

Melanson with a goal (I believe it was still on the PP) as Omaha takes a 1-0 lead over Lincoln.

Jake Wood with the assist as Lincoln cuts Omaha's lead to 2-1. There was only 1 assist given on Omaha's 2nd goal but I thought for sure DM had a hand in the play, maybe an assist will be given later.

Over the past few years i have not gotten to see many of our prospects very often. Turk-you are going to like this kid. You are going to like him a lot.

I'm certainly looking forward to it Doc. Doc, do you know the proper pronunciation of Melanson? Is it, Mellon-son (that's the way the radio guys are saying it) or Meh-lahn-son?

I have heard the second way several times, but it might be because others pronounce it that way.

Now that is interesting. It goes well with his celebration on his first goal early in the year. As a klutz myself, I appreciate that.
