I was in the building and this should have been 2:00. Anderson was leaning on the Ep the player, the hit took place before they crossed the redline. It looked worse than what it really was, This was a 2 players going hard for the puck. Anderson looked fine when he came back out. He is a smart playe...

I don't think he did it intentionally, but that looked really bad. Might be a result of the refs really letting them play. They could have called a handful of other penalties let alone another 5 minute major earlier in the game Everyone in the building except the ref knew that should have been 5 an...

Any word on what's going on down in Farmington? Leading scorer dismissed from team, and Coach not on the bench for final game of season. Anyone have ny information on this? I know Lee had a problem early in the year over swearing between periods and a parent went nucular when he benched a star play...

At work, if your company hires someone more talented than you and that person is promoted ahead of you, do you complain? So are these parents who are complaining telling their kids "life ain't fair little Johnny! You was robbed!" Also, in one breath, complaining that the coach makes money...

Even more interesting, is I would wager the vast majority of that "5%" don't even need scholarships anyway per their background. :wink: problem is the athletes home town (Rosemont) sends the tax dollars approximately $4800 to the new school (Lakeville). Transferring tax dollars for kids t...

There are less than 2000 college (D1 or 2) hockey players. In all, probably 40,000 US high school age players. About 5% assuming all are coming from US which we know is not happening. Schools have 18 scholarships that can be split up to more than 18 kids. Which they do (Ivy league schools do not of...

Re: Class AA State Tournament is all Public Schools

This should be a great tournament and it just shows that playing with your buddies and for your school and not always for yourself works out. Yeah, cuz if you transfer or go to a private school for any reason and play a sport there you are selfish. Whereas if you play for a public school, especiall...

Here is my take on the HF/EP. Like someone earlier, I had no dog in that fight and was simply there to watch hockey Refs make mistakes and miss calls many times during a game. This happens at every level of hockey from Mites on up to pros. Get over it. Quit acting like a spoiled fan just because yo...

Re: Sorry I disagree.

I can count on very few fingers how many times officials have truly had a final impact on a game. The EP/HF game was one of those. Not to bash but it was just puzzling. The first coincidental penalty the EP shoved HF mask up over his nose and the HF didn't even react except for skating back to the ...

I was a teacher for 10 years at White Bear and I was referring to the 8th grade transfer. Sports play a more important role than an education? Really? Why can't the student get the same bennefit out of a sport at his home school. I think reading & writing play a bigger role than anything you lea...

The $6800 question.

The intent of open enrollment program in Minnesota was educational. I have yet to meet a child who opened enrolled and didn't play sports. As a former teacher my chances of meeting a student who came to my school for an education and was not heavily focused on a sprt where we excelled at was very hi...
