Season recap?

I've been looking forward to a Karl season recap, is this still incoming or is it a thing of the past? 🤔

It looked like the Tonka coach did some persuading before the captains would accept the trophy.

Re: Tonka Moorhead

2 in a row for Moorhead. Can they make it three? Their roster is young. They may never lose again.

Re: A Championship- #1 Hibbing vs #3 Warroad

Tough when someone has to lose. Both teams very deserving and have been waiting a while for another trophy, Hibbing since 73 though so I would have liked to see them hoist it.

They make a fortune on Maui Wowies. Never had one. I'm a malt guy and now Snuffies is gone too.
Two diet cokes and a water was $25. I about fell over.

Re: AA QF - #5 Grand Rapids vs. #4 Rosemount

Looked at the replays and was disappointed to see how blatant the trip on Carlson was in overtime that wasn't called. Rosemount guy stuck his leg way out intentionally and sent him flying. Not even a questionable call. They called an interference penalty on the biggest hit of the night with 3 min le...

Re: AA QF - #5 Grand Rapids vs. #4 Rosemount

I'm biased but I like Rapids in this one. I really like the way they have been playing down the stretch. I think they'll embrace the underdog role. I could see the moment and lights being too bright for Rosemount. It is not uncommon for newcomers to trip up at the X, even good teams.

I'm not sure about this year but I would assume! They always represent and put on a great show.

Re: A QF- #1 Hibbing vs #8 Dodge County

I went back and looked. You're right, Gentry beat Dodge County 8-1 in the championship game. No mention of Hermantown in that tournament. Hermantown was 19-1 and the #1 seed. Lost to DC in the quarters due to covid exposures 7-3! It was HTowns JV team + Zam I believe. That's correct. But I doubt th...

Re: 7AA Final - #1 Grand Rapids vs. #2 Rock Ridge

Winner of this game likely gets a Thursday game with either Moorhead, Minnetonka ( Chanhassen has a say yet), or possibly Edina. Whoever wins tonight will need to play even better next week. I’ll be following as close as possible tonight while waiting for my first grandson to be born. He could show...

Re: 7A Final - #1 Hibbing vs. #3 CEC

Do we want to bring up the elephant in the room. Was that goaltender interference or not? 8) That's gotta be GI 7 out of 10 times. From what I saw the defender pushed or guided the Hibbing player toward the crease, goalie contact was made, but there was no effort from the Hibbing player to evacuate...

Re: 4AA semi-finals

WBL beats Stillwater in OT. Seems like another year of upsets. That stretches the definition of 'upset', to put it mildly. It's a near even money game in most years, and even more so this year. No one who paid attention to Stillwater down the stretch was surprised by this in the least. Good to know...

I'm picking Cloquet in this one

That was a 2-0 at the end of the rush, I really thought he was gonna pass it over.
