Re: Spring HP Rosters - By the numbers (and schools)

I did not watch any games. Bring in coaches that are not recruiting HS kids to their NCAA schools and are not friends with the Canadian National team staff and players. I nominate a psychologist (it will be a tough camp for a bunch of the kids who have always dominated and some that do not always pl...

Great post j4241. I appreciate the time it probably took you to address a couple of individual posters and had not heard the Dan Dennett thing...that is good stuff!

Re: 2022 Class AA State Tournament

There's not enough quality in HS girls hockey for these kind of State tournament brackets. Take the top 64 teams in the state (ranked by the computers) and put them in the "AA" bracket. Take the rest and put them in "A." Teams like Holy Family, Wayzata and Benilde shouldn't be punished by geography...

Re: Scoring by top HS players - grades 12, 11 and 10

How about Lorelei Nelson (8th grade) from Edina? 12 points for the year (8 goals and 4 assists). Goals agains Minnetonka, Holy Family, and Wayzata (2). All even strength and playing as a 3rd/4th liner.

Re: Recruiting Update Tommies > Gophers?

Gophers to Badgers?!?

Vivian Jungles to Wisconsin.

I am guessing it is complicated but might not be as complicated as one would think...

Appears to have been several unhappy girls leaving the Gophers over the last 2 seasons. Very likely some should have never been there in the first place.

Re: Recruiting Update Tommies > Gophers?

Tommies - taking advantage of a relatively clean roster (not clogged up by COVID and extra eligibility), grabbing top end kids that normally would be going to a school like the U (or an Ivy). Could be relevant in the WCHA a lot sooner than some expected (especially if the rink gets built). <<<LOTS ...

Re: Andover vs. Edina: Who will take home the trophy?

I'm with the J's. Both of their analysis is rock solid. Courneia is the difference maker in this game. As she goes the game goes. If she is magical Edina win, if she is not then Andover wins. Feels like both of these teams were better last year after watching both play their state tourney games but ...

Re: Blake from EP

I heard thru someone that hockey players needed to be back in school by a certain date (feels like it was the first Monday in February this season?). If not then not eligible. I believe that Blake left his USHL team more than a week or two before that date.

Re: State Seeding Predictions

It appears as if P/H got the shaft tin the seedings. Not a strong regular season schedule but look what they did to Rapids when they played them. Anyway, more motivation for the Mirage. MNHSL wants an outstate team to play in the A final. Made the most sense to have Warroad + P/H in same side of br...

Re: Section Winners and upsets

With respect to Breck you can say what you want about their schedule, but the bottom line is they've won once since Valentine's Day and have dropped eight straight since the resignation of Coach Persian and most of his staff. Doesn't look much like seeding material to me. Perhaps they miss the 250 ...

Would be great to hear about the Tonka/EP game too. I was surprised that it ended in a 1-1 tie.

At least on paper it looks like a bad outcome for Tonka and a great one for EP.

[Blake scoring 3 against Edina/Uma with a shot difference of only 38-24 no doubt caught some people by surprise. Edina is very strong, but a huge portion of their offense goes through Conner. She is a fantastic hockey player. I believe that 2 of the Blake were on the power play. This years team alr...
