Re: Edina's Michael Risteau

It started at the Hlinka a few years ago. Some major character issues - where he was almost sent home. Fast forward to this year - left for BCHL - then came home - but didn't go back to BSM. Why? So 3 teams in 8 months. Heard some things on why he finished on 4th line this year - but watching him i...

Re: Fluid AA Offseason Rankings: 2024-25

Is Chanhassen really losing that much star power to fall out of the preliminary top 25?? Yes. They lose 10 or 11 forwards out of their top 12, all 6 D, and a goalie who played all but 120 minutes in net (equivalent to about 2.5 games). Along with a bantam team that was below .500 and sends kids to ...

Re: 2024 AA tourney

Too bad Minnetonka and Wayzata not there as well. You guys were mad because Minnetonka recruited too many guys from other teams and I watched Edina beat Wayzata 4-1 I believe to get to state. Why would you want them in? Who said I did? Anyone with eyes can see that the sections in AA are horribly u...

The venue for the Big 10 tourney is not set in stone till the reg season is over, but it appears the hopes will have home ice creating the conflict
The Gophers can't finish any lower than 4, so they will either be the 3 hosting the 6, or the 4 hosting the 5.

That part is true. I told a few people at the last game I attended, I'm happy to see consolation there this year. Plenty big and FREE parking. I would be in favor of skipping Mariucci in the future.

Re: Section 8A Final (2/29/24)- #1 EGF vs #2 Warroad

Is this game actually at Warroad? Seems it should be on a neutral site. they rotate the section final between Warroad, EGF, and TRF on a 3 year basis. going back the last 10 years (including this year) the host team has played in their home rink for the section final 4 times (2023/2024 Warroad in W...

Re: Playoff Games Monday 2/27/24

The 3AA games were really ebb and flow. No one team controlled either game. I thought Rosemount was the better team for the majority of the game against STA, but couldn't overcome the early deficit. I also liked Eastview's Brothers (#11), he had a solid game. Looks like the unranked state teams wil...

I agree. I used to pick up tickets the day before and catch two games at Braemar and 1 at BIG or vice versa. I have a feeling I will be shut out this year and the same for the finals. I wish they would move the finals back to Mariucci. The 2AA/6AA finals at Mariucci were awesome! They need to get b...

While some of his past teams underachieved, I thought he did a great job with this year's squad. The Red Knights seemed to have a philosophy shift this season, in addition to personnel changes.

But the thing to keep in mind is that this Tonka team is on par with the Jefferson 90's dynasty. In a few weeks, we will likely reflect on the season and say, "Yep, it was Tonka all along. I knew it."
Except for when Tonka loses to Chan in the section final

In the BSM-Chan game, a Chan guy dumped the puck and it hit the ref & went in, but the ref waved it off. Has anyone ever seen that?

Re: The Minnetonka Machine, and where they came from

To add a little clarity, Klaers played with Burrows on Orono’s. Peewee state team and left for Tonka after peewees ( dad played with Goldy at St.Olaf). Nothing wrong with that in my opinion…also with the current Benilde goalie being an Orono transfer, that Orono team while a top 5 class A team this...

Same reason state trny cons are moving out of U of M to Aldrich . 💰 Say BIG and Braemar capacity combined is 6,100 (2,500 at BIG and 3,600 at Braemar, which I think is being generous), another 900 combined standing room for 7,000 total, and every entry is $10.

They moved to Aldrich this year because there’s potential the gophers host a first round BIG tournament series
