This season, the Adirondack Thunder have been notorious for bringing games to shootout only to lose every time. This was not the case on February 28th, when the Thunder were down against the visiting Reading Royals.
Matt Salhany, Adirondack forward, scored 4 goals on the day. Salhany has been quite the productive wing, having 13 points in the last 7 games, 9 being goals.
Eamon McAdam has been playing his strongest, while this game he was overwhelmed but held it together, having a 40 save game, letting in 5 goals. The Thunder would come back to tie it and McAdam would serve as a brick wall to allow the Thunder to rally in shootout. McAdam has grown to be a strong favorite for the Thunder fanbase, as he has been performing solidly in net. Evan Cormier, who now serves as the backup, has been arguably struggling, despite his 25 save game in Atlanta. Cormier has only been seen playing in net once at home recently, which was when McAdam was ejected. Cormier only made a couple stops, along with letting a goal by him in a controversial night hosting Newfoundland.
James Henry has checked back in the lineup, having been reportedly out due to injury. Henry has been rather quiet, nonetheless good for the Thunder to have their serving captain back in their starting lineup.
February 29th was a different story, as the Thunder went down 4-2 against the visiting Reading. The fanbase continues to be frustrated with the referees calls, as they seemingly lack their ability to call fairly. Shots on goal were at an even 26 for both teams. McAdam was 22 for 26, with an 84.615 SV%. Tom McCollum was 24 for 26, with a 92.308 SV%.
