Re: RPI Recruit Thread 2012-13

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.

Lincoln's HC didn't. PxP guy said he was irate on the bench that DM was allowed to continue with his attempt. I think DM's line should be 16-4-2-6 RB.

I noticed that missing assist from an earlier game and had fixed it a couple of mintues ago. Thanks for also pointing it out. It seems that the USHL does a lot of after-game switching. (I think that hoky attributes it to parents. )

Re: RPI Recruit Thread 2012-13

gonna have to find the video for Melanson's GWG in the SO. Apparently he fell when picking up the puck at center ice

Melanson's SO goal is at the 2:28 mark http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LtU2B...layer_embedded

Nice. I am pretty sure that the rule is you have to continually skate towards the goal, but that probably only applies after touching the puck, and it looked like he didn't actually touch it before falling.

BTW, I am too lazy to look, but I am 99% sure that when he was interviewed after scoring the first goal of the USHL season, the interviewer used Meh-lahn-son, and he didnt correct it.

Re: RPI Recruit Thread 2012-13

Question. If you look at the Game Live details of the Omaha-Lincoln game at http://www.pointstreak.com/flashapp/...ointstreak.com. they have awarded Melanson a goal for scoring the deciding goal in the shootout. (It says it's his fifth goal and a line of 16-5-2-7.) Yet on the team stats page http://ushl2011.stats.pointstreak.co...&seasonid=9358, he is still at 4 goals. Does anyone know if the winning shootout goal is considered a goal in the stats? (I am not asking if people think it should count, just does it count?)

Watching what happened, and seeing this happen in the pros before, that was the correct call. He did not touch the puck, therefore the penalty shot did not begin.

Re: RPI Recruit Thread 2012-13

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?

At Delbarton it was almost always pronounced the second way(Accented second syllable). But when you hear others talking about him-then you hear the other pronunciation. If he can score for us like I think he will-we will get to hear it alot.

Perhaps it has something to do with skate sharpening? In the years at Delbarton he never seemed to be off his feet so much.(and with zero contact too)

It's actually amazing that he did not touch considering where he fell.

I attribute it to nerves.

In this case it also could be the fact that he was skating on a section of ice that was recently cleaned whicle the rest wasn't.

This Melanson kid is gonna fit in well at RPI....cannot wait to see him fall on a puck in front of a wide open net.

If it's the opponent's net -- no problem.

If you can't score a goal, score yourself!
