Re: Class AA QF - St. Thomas Academy vs Eden Prairie

Who? It is a reference to former HermAntown coach Bruce Plante who complained about STA when they were beating the Hawks at the A State Tournament for a number of years. :lol: thestickler is quite aware of who Bruce Plante is, I assure you. Never heard of the guy! [-X Congrats to the Eagles on thei...

Re: Honor seedings and bracket integrity

I hear what you are saying but it’s basically a bye by another name in my eyes. With the first game not being until 1 pm now tomorrow there is time to reconfigure the games given Hill’s exit. I am not, however, stupid enough to believe the MSHSL will do anything of the sort given their inflexibilit...

Will MShSL make an official statement on this matter at some point? It is under 17 hours until game time. If there is a forfeit, will the Moorhead game time be moved up to 11? 12?

A little communication wouldn't hurt.
I bet the most mention this will get is in the notes section of a Millea blog.

Re: The Gentry Academy Thread

Look, the bottom line is Gentry should not be allowed to exist in the MSHSL. It is no secret that their entire existence revolves around recruiting kids specifically to play hockey at their school. EVERYONE knows it. Elite prospects says a lot of kids on their roster come from out of state, as far ...

Re: Hill-Murray Update

That's the standard that has to be met for a TRO to issue. You would be surprised how low the bar is for a lot of orders. Yup. And actually they seem to have done quite a good job of arguing irreparable harm. Citing Charlie Strobel from last year is brilliant. Charlie only got a scholarship after h...

Re: Hermantown JV to play Dodge Co.

Strikes me less likely as a chance at revenge rather than a face saving step taken by Hermantown to dodge Gentry the last year they're in A. They already had one game with them canceled this year for Covid too IIRC. Bet Plante organized the extra tests to avoid getting shelled 6-0 in the championship.

Re: Hermantown JV to play Dodge Co.

We knew this was a possibility with sport, saw it in the college ranks with Michigan, but it's jarring to have the top seed bounced.

I suppose congrats to Gentry on their state title - can't imagine I'll watch many of the Class A games with this development unfortunately.

Re: Class AA QF - St. Thomas Academy vs Eden Prairie

STAA has the firepower to score with the best but enough concerns on the blueline to be vulnerable to anyone as well. The Eagles have already beaten the Cadets twice this season but I'm going with the old "it's tough to beat a team three times in a season" adage and pick STAA to win in a barnburner....
