As I mentioned above, D Becker was out because of his Misconduct penalty against B'ville. A very weak call at that - it was more of a push check.

Sounds like a check to me.

It'll be a two horse race between 2/6 and 4/7. That 1/3 team looks like Seabiscuit to make another horse analogy.

Here's to him going on to greener pastures. The only direction that program is going is downwards. Just look at the bounty of youth players coming their way

Leave it to someone from Texas to show up out of the blue and try to impose his superiority complex on everyone else. People like Ganderif with all of their matter-of-fact attempts to prove themselves right and look better than everyone else drive me nuts.

Any team that plays New Ulm in this tournament is in a good spot.

He's making fun of his lame play on words.

I get that, but I'm pointing out the obviousness of the first sentence.

Attitude can make a huge difference in the consolation bracket. It will be a lot harder for a favorite like DE to pick themselves up than it would have been for Lakeville South.

The grammar in this thread is horrid.

Zaleznikar (#4) has really impressed me.

Any college commitments/potential on the ice for this game?

Let's assume the MSHSL does exactly what you propose and then the AA state tournament is composed of a private school majority. People like yourself would be complaining all over again.

Looks like Woodbury's long-anticipated descent to the bottom is complete

District 833 is allergic to having good hockey teams, I swear.

So who are you trying to put in hot water, eh? A coach, the player, or the referees? I find it hard to believe that any serious writer would use such a laughably bad analogy as you did.

Hopkins had great jerseys that looked like almost exactly like Nordiques jerseys. They put crowns where all the fleur-de-lis were.

Assuming they still use them, my favorites, in no particular order: Hopkins, Warroad, Jefferson, and Burnsville.

And all I'm saying is: The Pioneer Press isn't worth the paper it's printed on. What a rag. In addition to his family, I also feel terrible for the ER football team. Imagine taking the field after losing a teammate the night before. I think the driver, Blake Sowle, also plays for the hockey team, an...

This in no way is an attack on referees! As I said, every one I have asked about it hates the system. Some have apologized in advacne during warm-ups that they will be missing alot of the game with only 1 ref and to please go easy on them. Call me over to the bench to tell me what I missed, please ...

Well, they do have a point that MN doesn't develop enough elite goalies. Very few Minnesotan goalies have forged decent NHL careers recently. Stalock looks like our best hope at the moment if he can recover from that awful knee injury. As far as the ELITE league goalies having bad stats, I would bla...

Wonder what he thinks of going to Johnson instead of Mounds View.

Beer League, $250 Parenteau probably should of just played in the beer leagues instead of playing for the Lakers of the MNJHL.... Parenteau is a success story of a very unlikely path. Hardly any players move out of the Tier 3 MNJHL and go play D1, in fact, he is the only one in recent memory of doi...

Boy if only some of those amped up AAA parents would read Jack McCartan's story. As a partial aside, he made the all-conference team as a junior and senior, I believe. Here's the conference standings and team records from the 52-53 season, and it's obvious that his team was dreadful. Look at all the...

You can add Travis Morin and Trent Klatt of Osseo to that list.

For one thing the Bantam A team was the top team in District 2 this past season. The HS team needs coaches that will keep tons of kids from heading to private schools. Aaron Fulton and Aaron Lewicki have been a great 1-2 punch at the Bantam A level for the last couple of years. Both are relatively y...

I would bet that given no economic or social factors Johnson, Southwest, or Sibley could produce a state champion quality team again. Sibley has Mendota Heights, which is quite nice, not to mention Sunfish Lake, but I'm not sure if those two areas are large enough to make a difference. Plus, that a...

It could be Tonka,Wayzata, Edina and Eden Prairie It could be Eagan, Burnsville, Apple Valley, and Jefferson. It could also be Maple Grove, Blaine, Centennial, and Osseo. They would basically be televising games that anyone in the metro could see twice a year in person, which would be stupid. I wou...
