The original statement was that if there were state tournaments for winter sports this year, but fall sports did not have state tournaments then lawsuits would be filed by fall sports parents. I was asking why that would be other than we live in a litigious world? Is it unfortunate that fall sports...

Anyone know what River Lakes has coming back? They've been giving the Flyers fits the last several seasons.

Next to nothing, except the two goalies. RL had 7 double-digit scorers, and 6 graduated. Tangen will need to be Superman in net for them to be a factor.

Yep, I don't see a State Tournament being played this year either. If they decide to have one for hockey, you will see lawsuits filed left and right by the fall sports' parents. Out of curiosity, what grounds do you believe the lawsuit would be on? It would be worth reading the pleadings (which I h...

https://www.duluthnewstribune.com/sports/hockey/6671876-Minnesota-Hockey-Coaches-Association-has-proposals-for-MSHSL-to-try-to-have-safe-hockey-season Good job to the coaches association for coming out with some reasonable proposals that deal with the reality of the situation and give the opportuni...

With football ending Nov. 28, what’s the semi-educated guess on starting date for hockey games?

What a PLEASE BAN ME Madison has been for a long time now. Just speculating but they are either folding or building from the ground up, which may be the best choice. The Caps have indeed been a dumpster fire pretty much since the start of their reboot. Sadly, Suter has run that franchise into the g...

On the other hand, college hockey has been delayed until late November: https://www.collegehockeynews.com/news/2020/09/10_Hockey-Officially-Delayed.php Not that it is a huge hit to the prospect of completing a reasonably full season, culminating in some form of championship, but it seems like hocke...

Not a shocker, but nonetheless disappointing to actually see in print. Hopefully those “culminating events” will be a somewhat satisfying resolution to the various sports seasons. Those COVID installment fees are going to be rough on school athletic departments, and I’m sure student participation fe...

The final Class A section that has yet to be previewed, and what tends to the weakest section looks to be even more down than usual. Hutchinson romped through the section tournament last year, but suffered huge graduation losses. Marshall’s talented goalie is gone. New Ulm looks to be the most compl...

OK, I know no one wants to do this, but I’ll bring it up anyway. This section will probably be messy again, but more like messy ugly than messy fun. After an epic section final, the top few programs are down this year. Monticello Chisago Lakes North Branch Princeton Monticello : I guess they’re the ...

Brody Lamb is in a class of players with a tough decision......gamble on the MSHSL having a normal season or move to a league that has made a decision. Assuming there is a “normal” season I like East with their depth and pedigree. Dodge County, Minnesota River, West, and Faribault will also be in t...

I have no secrets here, do I?! (Or at least now I know which of you read the non-hockey stuff I write.) :lol: Ha, sorry to spill the beans and spoil your big news at the top of the podcast! I did get a laugh about your new living situation being a major topic of discussion after my comment above. G...

Stang- 100 there today dropping to high 20s Tuesday with snow ?!?!?! WTH?

I know, hard to believe! I guess Mother Nature really wants summer to end here after Labor Day. She can be cruel here in Colorado sometimes.

Karl Faithful - have you made a sighting today ? Does he have his location turned on? Duluth apartment with Zoom viewable through window ? Bloomington strip mall? I do believe Karl made a move further up the east side (though not to a deluxe apartment in the sky), and is now a homeowner. Pretty soo...

North loses nearly every player of consequence and will be rebuilding. I wouldn’t be shocked to see Hastings finally break the Lakeville title game monopoly, but South should roll through everyone regardless. Edit: duh, I just remembered that Hastings was in the 1AA final last year, and nearly took ...

A/C's bantams had 3 good 9th grade D, 2 should play varsity for sure this year. Their best two-way player left for BSM which is a bummer but they had another 9th grade F that is big and should see varsity minutes this season. The 8th grade line has two kids that will tryout for varsity this year, i...

Going to be a very deep Section Delano- Looks to be the favorite they bring back Brown, Paulson, Keranen and more. They just need a goalie Delano after Mahtomedi's breakthrough last year is the next blue blood in Class A lacking a title. This Tiger team will look to be the first to try and break th...

Cade Ahrenholz from Lakeville South committed to Colorado College back on August 10. (So there was a Section 1 commit that we as a collective forum already missed )

Based on this article, we can now add Jake Ratzlaff to the early departure list, as pretty much expected https://www.therinklive.com/college/gophers/6641525-Gophers-prospect-Jake-Ratzlaff-faces-tough-choice-blocked-shots-or-zone-blitzes Yeah, that one was pretty much a foregone conclusion once foot...

Jackson Hallum commits to Michigan

Interesting. The Wolverines seem to be making some recruiting inroads into Minnesota under Pearson, whereas old Red essentially ignored the state.

Congratulations to Hallum. He is an electric player and a great get for Michigan.

Galatz to Hermentown? Are you kidding me? Mommy and daddy trying to chase something or run from something? Isn't this the same kid that moved to Cloquet from a range town a few years ago? Complete joke on behalf of both Hermantown & that family! Both should be extremely embarrassed if true!! Hibbin...

Hermantown vs Monticello Maple Lake,
Moose road a packed Xcel crowd to OT in 98, Hermantown came from behind and had a goal called off. One of the greatest modern day games.

I think packed Xcel would not be quite accurate. There was not an Xcel in 98 what year?

2017

Speaking of epic OT games, I found highlights of the 1985 4OT quarterfinal between Jefferson and Minnetonka , the only state tournament game I’m aware of that extended to a second day. I felt bad for Tonka, since they carried play through the first three OT periods during the evening session (and it...

It's fun to hack on Hermantown in A for sure, but I do have to involve them in two games that I've always thought were as entertaining as it gets when it comes to St. Paul: -2010: Hermantown vs. Mahtomedi. Lots of scoring, the emotion of the waved off goal. First A game I remember where they opened...
