All kidding aside, he was considered as Blue as a Blue Chip recruit can be when he picked BU over BC and others, so even though he may not be on the same trajectory as predicted, am sure he'll still be a good college player, just not nearly as good as Cangelosi :p

Don't worry. Once Parker and Bavis work their magic, the kid will be barely able to skate. :D

I firmly believe this guy is an act just like that weird Maine fan who writes with a French accent. No one can be this stupid. So kudos to you for sticking to it. You've been around for a while and I haven't seen one post out of character. Well done.

Team USA beat Canada 5-3 in its final preliminary round game at the World U18s. Matt Lane assisted on the game-winner and added an open-netter. Earlier in the game he had a penalty shot, but was stoned by Canada's goalie. Matt Grzelcyk scored Team USA's first goal. Lane leads the team in scoring with 3-3-6 in four games.

I was highly impressed with Grzelcyk in today's game. Definitely underrated because of his size. I had always heard he had such a great defensive game (which he does), but his PPG today was also incredible. Looks like he's got a bomb of a shot if he wants to use it, which I guess means he's going to fit in nicely with the dmen we have currently.

I just wanna know why Rogie only posts in the recruiting thread and not the BU season thread...

He posts under a different name so he can flame people and not have anyone lose respect for his copy and paste from ushr abilities

Lane really stood out against Canada to me. I missed the 1st period but he had a lot of energy and seems to win more battles than you may think for his size. He really puts his speed to use without the puck.

I agree with that, mysterious beer man.

But, considering this year, really happy to see that O'Regan did great with faceoffs. Finished with like 75% of wins on the night or something. Anyways, should be a good game on Friday.

....and BC recruit Frankie Vatrano scored the game winner :p:D
 
Re: BU Recruiting Update, Part 3

Lane got on the stat sheet again today with an assist. Also ended up being the US star of the game. Great speed, but even better grit. Think that'll work well for us, something we can lack at times. Chris Peters called Lane "Team USA's most consistent forward" and I can't say I don't disagree.

Sounds like he could be another John Sabo, the second coming of Paul Kariya when he committed and the second coming of Travis Banga when he actually showed up :D

When prospects are committing at a very young age it is hard to determine where they are and whether they will continue to improve or flatten out. I recall a prospect who had 100 goals as a Bantam (this was referenced in a media guide entry). The particular individual played 1 varsity game in college.

Recruiting is not an exact science depsite the plethora of web sites and the overflow of information as opposed to 50 years ago where it was more catch as catch can especially with those who were geographically beyond driving range in the local area.
 
Re: BU Recruiting Update, Part 3

Kind of afraid to even post this here, since the "BU Recruiting Update" usually discusses all things NOT recruiting, but...

O'Regan got a goal today, Team USA's second of the day. Lane ended up getting one of the top three players on Team USA for the tourney. Oh, and they all got gold medals. 4 in a row.

But for real, I'll take Lane right now. Hope he keeps up the good work when he gets there. Could benefit a lot from his determination, speed, and skill.

So you're saying you disagree, right? :D
 
Re: BU Recruiting Update, Part 3

O'Regan, originally a 2013, will come aboard in September. United State of Hockey's comments on the three BU World U18s gold-medal winners:

Matthew Lane — If you didn’t know much about Lane before, you better start learning. He was named one of Team USA’s best three players at the tournament and was more than deserving of that honor. Lane posted seven points (3g-4a), but was so much more than that. With his strong forechecking and ability to win just about every puck battle he was in shows that he can be a force. Lane’s speed is his standout tool. He might be Team USA’s fastest forward. He’s not just fast though, as he knows how to use his speed to generate offense. Lane’s line with J.T. Compher and Frankie Vatrano had a lot to do with Team USA’s success at the tournament. It is likely that Lane jumped up a round or two with his play at the U18 Worlds. Committed to Boston University.

Daniel O’Regan — The lone non-NTDP player on the roster may have been the biggest surprise of the tournament. O’Regan has some incredible puck skills and creativity and may have been Team USA’s best center at the tournament. O’Regan had four points including a dazzling goal against Sweden’s Oscar Dansk in which the American forward put his skills on display. After picking up a loose puck, O’Regan skated in and deked Dansk out of his jock before stuffing it five-hole. O’Regan has a high upside because of his puck skills and good hockey sense. As he builds strength, he could become an offensive force. Committed to Boston University.

Matthew Grzelcyk – This tournament provided Grzelcyk to show that he can hack it at a high level. It was a very strong event for the somewhat under-sized defenseman. Though he posted just one goal, Grzelcyk showed off his tremendous hockey sense and ability to make smart, calm decisions with the puck. He absorbs pressure well and can get away from traffic with good foot work and puck handling. The offensive tools are there for Grzelcyk to be a point-producer, too. His lone goal came on the power play against Canada in the prelims. It was a well-placed heavy slap shot, showing that he can really hammer it. His size never really appeared to be an issue despite seeing a lot of time against bigger, stronger forwards. Committed to Boston University
