AHA 6 RW 1<br>AHA 3 Tonka 2 <p></p><i></i>

While I didn't see the game it seems like people are making too much out of the score. It's not uncommon especially mid-way through the season for higher ranked teams to come into a game a little less focused while their opponants are always looking for the upset. Conference games in particular are ...

Hey B'Buddy, it looks pretty cold in that picture!!<br><br> <p></p><i></i>

I agree, this is a no-win situation for Warroad, although I'm sure it will be fun and memorable for the kids. <br><br>The game sounds like it is asking them to play by girls rules - ie no checking which will be hard to adjust. They are playing THE best women's team in the nation, one that has been t...

This is gonna be a great game, best in Class A for 2 weeks. I'll take H'town here, by a goal.<br><br>These are probably the best two teams in class A. <p></p><i></i>

I'm surprised on this one. I think STA is the better team. <p></p><i></i>

You dont know what you're talking about. I've seen them play 3 times. There top two lines are very strong, they can score against anyone. They probably wont beat AHA - who will? But they can certainly play with anyone in Class A.<br><br>Breck is good, Blake +/-, TG is good, SLP is probably the best ...

I'm not sure which team is "best" but I'm curious - what stats are the best indictor of a team's defensive effectiveness?<br><br>Goals against average is an overall indicator, obviously including goaltending.<br><br>Save percentage obviously is the best measure of goaltending.<br><br>Shots...

Right, what I mean of course is that from the 500 kids in the program eventually 30 come out. The chances of those 30 being better than a community where they have 100 kids is - duh - 5 to 1.<br><br>That said, there is more to it than that. Obviously many programs have great amateur programs that re...

THere's really no mystery here. Look at the size of the amateur programs - numbers wise, and you'll get a gooidea of where the top programs are going to be. Centenial is good now not because Centennial is "special", they just choose from many many more kids. <p></p><i></i>

Good points all, but I'm not yet convinced.<br><br>Responding first to : "It is obvious that many northern teams are hurting for players and for that, we have co-op programs. I can only assume that the south and western teams have some of the same problems. This seems to have solved alot of pro...

Hey, that's an encouraging thought ... "<!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>How about one class and kids learning that part of life is learning to lose</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END-->." <br><br>A system that encourages migration to the super teams - a la AHA, HM, etc and tells all the kids in c...

After the first third of the season, seeing some of the scores I've heard several people comment on the 2 class system. Obviously when you see a team like AHA so clearly dominate all of their opponants, teams like STA beat up on So Saint Paul - what 14 - 0 it makes you wonder if the current system w...

Nice win for the guys. Clearly Shakopee has proven that they are a real contender in the Missota, obviously AHA is the 3000lb gorilla in the conference, but other than them they definately have a chance against Northfield, RW, etc.<br><br>I think they may suprise AHA, although not necessarily win. D...

STA is 2-3-1 or something like that, with wins over Lourdes and Greenway 13 - 1! <br><br>RW had to go to OT to beat Mahtomehdi, tied Lourdes. They did beat Breck who is 3-4 and Blake who is 3-4, oh yeah, they beat Roch JM - at best a very weak team, maybe the worst of the 4 in Rochester this year.<b...

Definately for real. I've had them in top ten for a week or two, this should remove or at least give pause to those doubters out there. Certainly can make a case for the best A team in southern Minnesota and that includes STA and Blake.<!--EZCODE EMOTICON START 8) --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/...

Glad to hear he's ok. Sounds like a Grade 2-3 concussion, moderate to severe, depending on other symptoms. Typically out for at least 2 weeks after all symptoms resolve. Many programs now using the software package to assess post concussion effects. Hoep they have it available.<br><br>Good luck to h...

How'd he do? Anyone know? <p></p><i></i>

I look to JM to dominate this - JM had a terrible game against Red Wing - overrated in class A.<br><br>Century just doesn't have it, I hate to see Rochester hockey diluted to this extent.<!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :| --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/indifferent.gif ALT=":|&quo...

Obviously it will be a 3 horse race with STA, RW, and Lourdes via for the state berth. None of the teams have played particularly well and at this point you could reasonable make a case for any of them.<br><br>STA definately has the most offensive talent, adequate defense and good goaltending.<br><b...
