Re: 2024 AA tourney

The Hockey Gods.....

Show absolutely no mercy on White Bear Lake.

Probably would have preferred losing 2-0 on an empty netter. Instead, get their hopes up with the tying goal.....and then they jump off the top rope!

Re: Section 4AA

The Gophers play Penn State in Game 2 at 3:30PM on Saturday. You can blame the Big 10 because of TV scheduling I suppose...but I would say that a 3:30 game & the consolation finals would be too tight of a window on the Saturday. I got nothing in terms of Friday; I suppose MSHSL would say they'd rath...

Biggest Section Upsets

Zach Halverson tweeted something to the effect that Chan over Tonka is one of the biggest section upsets ever. While I disagree that it was that big (an upset for sure, but Chan was objectively one of the top-5 teams throughout the year), got me to thinking about those upsets. Here's some off the to...

Re: Section Finals Locations Thought

I would not make the assumption that the colleges give a rat's behind about section finals. Worse they may consider hosting them a pain in the rear. Now someone will post about how they can use it for recruiting players and students, but I'd not be surprised if they are not interested in that at al...

Chan beat Tonka, Edina didn't. I'd vote Chan #1.
I think Edina’s overall strength of schedule will give them the 1, but I don’t think it would be a travesty if they were flipped….

Re: 2024 AA State Tournament Seedings

Well.....certainly have had some wrenches thrown in the plan.

Chanhassen IN / Tonka OUT.
Centennial IN / Maple Grove OUT
Rochester IN / Lakeville South OUT (Not that they would have been a seed).

Hill Murray/White Bear/St Thomas Academy/Cretin: You're up next.

Re: Section 4AA

Parking at Aldrich is way better than anywhere in the West Metro. That part is true. I told a few people at the last game I attended, I'm happy to see consolation there this year. Plenty big and FREE parking. I would be in favor of skipping Mariucci in the future. I completely missed this earlier.....

Re: 2024 AA State Tournament Seedings

If they win on Friday, does Hill Murray have a claim to the #3?

Had one hiccup to Two Rivers; otherwise their losses in '24 have been to Tonka, Benilde & Edina. Also just smacked Maple Grove 2 weeks ago.

Re: Section Finals Streaming Info

I haven't had to either thus far either. But I was also a subscriber last year & the section finals were separate.

Don't know if that was something that is included now, which is why I'm wondering.

I guess I'll find out tonight either way.

Re: On a lighter note -- Odd MSHSL Transfer Policy

Who cares? The kid played football and wrestled (his brother too) at EP until this season. He’s already gotten his schollies so maybe they moved for legit reasons or maybe they’ve lived in Shakopee the entire time. Not saying I know the details, but if you play within the rules there’s not much tha...

Re: 2024 AA State Tournament Seedings

You're probably right on.

I think Centennial would nab a seed if they won. Will be interesting if someone other than Hill Murray wins 4AA.

I had actually heard this in the past few weeks also. Shouldn't be hard to find out who it is (look up heavyweight wrestlers). I don't understand how it's possible either, unless they specifically moved into the Shakopee district? I guess it's no different than if a kid from Lakeville moved during t...

Re: Coaching Changes 2024-25 - Official Thread

Maybe there are higher expectations when enrolling there, but since their ‘12 title, he’s been to multiple section finals (13, 14, 19, 20, 22). They’ve definitely been at a higher level than HF. They were objectively a top-5 team in the state this year & seem to be pretty consistent. I get what you’...

Re: Coaching Changes 2024-25 - Official Thread

It's also the 2nd year in a row they've failed to make the section semis.

Seeing their coaching staff, perhaps help is coming with Sylvia & some buddies.

In the BSM-Chan game, a Chan guy dumped the puck and it hit the ref & went in, but the ref waved it off. Has anyone ever seen that? I watched the replay online & nobody on Chan was offsides and the Chan player was inside the red line. Is thar really a rule to wave it off? I know it’s kind of a bum d...

Re: Games Saturday 1-6-24

I once witnessed Westrum almost start a fight at a 7th grade football game a few years back with an opposing coach.

Clearly a firey competitor, but seems like he needs to realize he's not 22 anymore.

Re: What’s going on in Tonka?

Maple Grove doesn't need to draw open enrollment kids as there are plenty of young families there. Minnetonka was on the verge of closing elementary schools in the late 90's early 2000's due to lack of kids in the district. Open enrollment and referendums that have passed every time for the past 20...

2024 State Tourney Season Tickets

Has anyone gotten a renewal notice regarding 24 tickets? I haven’t seen anything yet & it’s getting closer to the usual renewal deadline.

Figured something would have come out by now.
