I don't buy into the whole "Ford is the best goalie in the state" thing. His stats are very marginal, at best. First game on 45 they said he had a 2.71 GAA and .88 S%. That is horrible. then last night they said, I think 2.40 GAA and .88 S%, so who knows what the real stats are, but they s...

Wasn't the State Tournament hosted at Target Center for a year or two before the X was built? yes, it has been hosted at Target Center, as well as the WCHA Final Five a few years back. I haven't actually been to a game played there. Do you think it is a good place for this venue? I just gagged a li...

Per MSHSL both finals (2AA & 6AA) are at Target Center this year. Must be in response to the overflow crowd last year. Should be a great atmosphere, hopefully they get some good attendance. Is there something I'm missing here? Has Target Center ever had an ice rink put in? Will they lay one dow...

If he didn't know he probably would be more interested in truly finding out "how Burnsville is" as a team rather than who is actually good on the team.

So yes, as the first response said, you tell us.

While this is definitely true, everybody I have ever played with on Junior Gold (three years worth) that has played JV, or VARSITY, has said they would have rather played another year of JG than a year of JV for sure. A couple have even said JG was more fun than varsity. I can't see how that would b...

You do of course realize that Benilde is where all the public school rejects go, right? All the kids from the Western suburbs who aren't quite good enough to play varsity in their city go to Benilde.

I think they should mandate a change to the rubber stoppers during games that most College and Professional teams now do...they require a little more work during intermission, but it is so much more effective, because the net will never be slightly off, if it gets nudged it will just move right bac...

The reffing was far from "legit". The ref was making phantom calls on Eden Prairie all night long, the most ridiculous being with 20 seconds left. When you have a tight game, no way to get tighter than a tie, you basically put the whistle away unless there is a terribly obvious call. That ...

Eden Prairie loses players for a couple reasons. 1) Head Coach Lee Smith is a moron. During last year's section playoffs, scouts from Ann Arbor were attending a game, to be the last, or close to, game of the year, to watch Jason Clark. For no reason at all Smith decided this would be a great opportu...
