Mostly agree with you but Jungels would be the other one who had 2 good games and a quiet final.
Quiet final other than digging behind the net, bring the puck round and patiently setting up the game winner in OT?

Re: Video Replay

Much as I wanted Greenway to win, the Cathedral goal that was initially waved-off and followed quickly by an apparent Greenway goal is a great illustration of why if the technology is available, it should be used. I can understand why the ref waived it off initially--popped out immediately, sounded ...

Re: Eden Prairie vs Blaine

That Richels shortside snipe might be the goal of the tourney for me so far. No idea how he got that in.

Re: McLeod, W. Shaver & Matvick To Call Tourney

Ad hominem. Excellent work. I envy your superior intellect. Forum readers: MrBoDingleberries hereby declares lynching is non-racist. Woe to anyone who questions his towering brain pan! I'm out with this nonsense. As noted above by another poster, the vehement responses by some posters here is a tell.

Re: McLeod, W. Shaver & Matvick To Call Tourney

Can you point out where I said that? Here's what you said: "Or do you think he's a white guy thinking about a hangin?" What does that even mean? I'm only too familiar with the sordid history of lynching in this country. And yes, a central part of that history is the racist killing of African America...

Re: McLeod, W. Shaver & Matvick To Call Tourney

"One way"? I really have no idea what you're getting at. Lynching is hanging, pull out a dictionary.

And, yes, I would expect most "white guys" would know the history of lynching in this country.

As I said, a dumb remark. He apologized and I'm fine with moving on.

KSTP's article does not say he was banned, only that he was pulled from the broadcast:

McLeod has apologized. It was a stupid remark.

Some folks will never get it.

One advantage of the 105 the Ticket feed at work is that you find out that it hasn't officially been renamed the Polymet State High School Hockey Tournament.

No Skippers on top of it, but I was sitting in that corner and the puck was totally uncovered, with the goaltender and defenseman standing and looking for it. No way that whistle should have been blown, but the ref was on the far side of the net and had no idea where the puck was himself.

How you guys like the weird bounce off the Tonka dump when Dorucher skated behind the net, but decided not to play & instead skated back to his crease. Little did he know the puck bounced & came with him. And getting back into position he nearly kicked it in, clueless as to where it was. The arena ...

Seeing the video that was posted I would probably put more of the blame on EP, but that's just my opinion. Pretty stupid either way. Among the participants was Eden Prairie goalie Shaun Durocher, who received a major penalty but was not suspended. “There was a lot of stuff going on in the corner th...

There is no way #20 from Eden Prairie should be allowed to play again this season. Even setting aside his leaving the penalty box.
