Re: Fluid AA Offseason Rankings: 2024-25

Let's see HM since 2006 19 consecutive appearances in the section final 14 state tournament appearances in that time Played in the state championship game four times Won two state titles Yep, definitely sounds like a team that is constantly overrated. Yeah, but how did the SEC do during those years?

Mariucci should hold the events. Have the games on alternate nights.
Um, what in the world are you talking about? What night should the AA consolation semis be held? Sunday night? Monday night?

Re: TV Coverage

If any organization is going to hang onto a dying medium, and resist a new medium, that would be the MSHSL.

It's good to have more than one hobby or avocation. Especially it only lasts for a few months of the year.

Re: 2024 AA tourney

The more I think about it, this tournament resembled Womens Olympic hockey. The only drama in that is if it's the US or Canada winning the gold medal game, provided there isn't an upset before that game.

Re: 2024 AA tourney

7AA has one one bad game in the semifinals in decades and 8AA has one bad game in quarterfinals in years and now we need to fix the sections , where was this uproar in 2006,2007,2008 when a top 4 Moorhead team lost to Roseau.

Re: 2024 AA tourney

I think what some people are saying is the rich are getting richer. We can agree or disagree but those that can and will recruit are going to have a huge advantage over the rest of the teams who can't or won't. But we all have to admit Minnesota HS hockey is in a transition from what used to be a z...

Re: Tourney tickets

I went online and bought a pair on Vivid Seats. Very expensive but I seldom get the chance to go to it and figured what the heck. At my age I tried to estimate how many more chances I would have to see the Rapids play. I decided to get them and take it all in. Thanks. Didn't realize they were avail...

Re: 2024 AA tourney

Before the Christmas presents were wrapped, we knew it would be sections 2 and 6 in the title game. And a few weeks ago, it became apparent that the #3-unseeded game and the #4 - #5 would be competitive, the semis would not be competitive, and the final would be very close. Switch the coaches, and y...

Re: Greatest Ever Upsets at State

I recall that at the consolation game, the Edina West kids had a banner: "We make not take state but we still eat cake" What I found odd was that a lot of people were pulling for Edina West. They had been the better Edina for a few seasons, but Ike had always gotten the best of them in region play*....

I will be viewing at my own crib tonight, for several reasons. I make my own garlic cheese bread for about a buck forty-five, and I can wash it down with a beer.

Re: 2024 AA tourney

Edina will need to step it up tonight, especially if Chanhassen plays the way they did in the semi. Two nights in a row, Edina got sloppy and undisciplined in the 3rd period with large leads. They had a parade to the penalty box last night. But I've seen enough tournaments to know that tonight could...

Re: 2024 AA tourney

CDH 100% deserved to win that game. They’ve completely dominated since Centennial took 3-0 lead in 1st period. Were it not for Centennial’s goalie, CDH would have won comfortably. Centennial is one-line team. Not criticizing that, just stating fact. They got to tourney on that one line and power pl...

Jeez was that a brutal game 1, and game 2 isn't looking much better. At least these two have some skating ability.
I know, right? All these upsets today show what a joke seeding the teams is.

I've just done a little bit of research, and it turns out, I was wrong. Actually, just kidding. I was right, and the nattering naybobs of negativity are wrong.
