Re: Games Thursday 2-15-24

I saw Rapids lose a game in the late ‘70’s on a goal that clearly went off a ref’s skate. Players were not happy but it was considered a bad break then I believe. It definitely didn’t get waved off. I don’t know if it should’ve or not at that time.

Re: games Saturday 2-10-24

Shortly after BSM went up 3-1 they took a penalty and 1:10 later to a 2nd one. GR had 50 seconds of 5 on 3 and couldn’t score as Benilde killed them both off. I felt they really needed one there. The Red Knights looked pretty comfortable all game. Benilde has flown under the radar a little this yea...

Re: AA Rankings for 2/4/24

It’s been fun watching Rapids throughout the year. They were decent to start the season and have been noticeably better as the calendar winds down. Clafton’s consistency to roll the majority of the roster seems to be paying off as time rolls on. They were outshot by quite a bit early on but have im...

Re: Section 4AA

It’s pretty hard to argue against a team that’s been relevant since the 70’s. That’s a long run.

I wouldn’t bet against them.

Re: 1AA and 8AA

I don’t think it’s time to make huge changes yet. Like was posted earlier it’s always been cyclical. Tonka has some great things happening now and are a heck of a team. I doubt they will win most games in running time for 5 straight years though. I would say that the last team to dominate for a long...

Re: Section 7A Final (3/1/23)- #1 Hermantown vs #2 Rock Ridge

Almost guaranteed trip to St. Paul every year. But they're a little shaky this year unlike years past. See last night's game with Hibbing. I respectfully disagree on Hermantown being a little shaky. I watched the game against Hibbing and thought the Hawks actually looked sharp. Their passing and sh...

Re: Discussion of Official Seeding

I don’t see a problem with these seedings . East has earned the 1 in my opinion. Either they or Andover will make a nice team at state. We all know Andover is St. Paul worthy but this Duluth team could be fun to watch down there. They are my dark horse pick. I’m obviously not a a huge East fan but o...

Re: Class A semifinal--EGF vs Gentry Academy

I see there are some of you that think that Gentry took it to em’ today, but that was a very even game that could’ve went either way. EGF had as many good looks as Gentry and actually more shots on net and more high quality scoring chances. I agree that with Hermantown out of the picture, that was ...

Re: Honor seedings and bracket integrity

East had removed themselves quite awhile before sections which made changes easier I would guess.
