On Wednesday, the Omaha Lancers defeated the Tri-City Storm 4-3 (2-1) in a shootout. Drew Melanson had no points or penalties, but he scored the winning goal in the shootout. http://ushl2011.stats.pointstreak.co...gameid=1978309

Melanson's line is now 52-12-15-27-4.

That wasn't yet up when I posted. Then I lost my internet connection again.

Ralph, do you remember there was a discussion a while back about whether or not the winning shoot-out goal was credited to the players season stats? Was that question ever resolved?

IIRC, it was resolved that it does not count, but I will check in the morning to be sure.

Re: RPI Recruit Thread 2012-13 (Part III)

Thanks.

The boxscore now says Final, and he was not credited with a goal on either the boxscore or stats page.

That was indeed my opinion also. I admit that I could be wrong since I never played competitive athletics myself.

I did as a youngster-but was neve a captain of anything. I have too much of a hot headed temper that is too hard to control to be put in any position of leadership in a group. At least that is what my psychiatrist said when i was analyzed during my psychiatry residency. He also said i was a true pleasure seeker-that i would do anything to have a good time, and anything to avoid a painful situation. All of whidch made my 25 years in the Army Reserves quite a chore. I suspect that SA understands that having one strong voice in the locker room and on the ice is far more effective than a bunch of screaming MiMi's.

Melanson's line is now 52-12-15-27-4.

Would love to see how he scored in the shootout. In high school when he did get the chance to come in alone on the goaltender he started with great speed but then slowed and came in quite deliberately. But you just never knew which way he would go-he has great control on the back hand and can elevate his shot enough or he can go forehand and try to open up the goalie for a 5-hole attempt or elevate and go top shelf. I always got the impression that he had made his decision what to do before he ever touched the puck-but then changed as he saw what the goalie was doing in response. I've said this for 2+ years-this kid is talented. The only question for me is size. Can he do this at the NCAA level where the boys are almost as fast as he is, and outweigh him by 30+ pounds. I am very much looking forward to next year's incoming group. I think we have a good class-to add to the last 2 very good classes.

Re: RPI Recruit Thread 2012-13 (Part III)

Would love to see how he scored in the shootout. In high school when he did get the chance to come in alone on the goaltender he started with great speed but then slowed and came in quite deliberately. But you just never knew which way he would go-he has great control on the back hand and can elevate his shot enough or he can go forehand and try to open up the goalie for a 5-hole attempt or elevate and go top shelf. I always got the impression that he had made his decision what to do before he ever touched the puck-but then changed as he saw what the goalie was doing in response. I've said this for 2+ years-this kid is talented. The only question for me is size. Can he do this at the NCAA level where the boys are almost as fast as he is, and outweigh him by 30+ pounds. I am very much looking forward to next year's incoming group. I think we have a good class-to add to the last 2 very good classes.

Almost everything makes to the net these days (except Manley's stats) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LBtqTtakG3g. It starts at about the 3:00 mark. His celebration is much better than his first goal of the season too.

I bet, once he gets to RPI, the only people that will know are us, as well as any people he plays that were once on that Omaha team.
