Re: Class AA QF - Hill-Murray vs #1 Minnetonka

Absolutely shocked to have seen this game go into OT. Was thinking HM would get slaughtered, but they played tough. Excited for years to come Yup. Great experience for the kids. They played the near perfect game for what they needed to do. The team should be super proud of this year. They had to di...

Re: Class AA QF - Hill-Murray vs #1 Minnetonka

Sheesh. This is a Tonka shooting gallery. Could be 4-1 easily if not for Erickson.

Tonka on pace for about 75 shots on goal.

Re: Class AA QF - Moorhead vs #3 Edina

Not much the Spuds goalie could do on most of those Edina goals, but he looks jittery. There’s at least once or twice a puck has trickled out behind him. And on a play toward the end of the 2nd he was looking up and over his shoulder when the puck was in front of him.

Re: Coach Lechner

14 of the past 18 season Hill has made it to state Either they have one very large recruiting budget or it's time to seriously think about realignment But SEC Scotty is correct. I'm bored with the AA tournament and probably won't watch a game this year It isn't the fault of Hill that White Bear and...

Re: Class A QF #2 seed 7A Hermantown (25-2-1) vs 3A Luverne (21-6-1)

Have to give the Xcel staff credit. I was at the Wild game last night, which went to OT/shootout. I walked out of there after 10PM. And they had to get everything ready for the state tourney in essentially less than 12 hours. I see the on-ice Jager logo is gone from the home-ice corner where I norma...

Re: Class AA QF - Hill-Murray vs #1 Minnetonka

Oh I'm not giving them a pass whatsoever. I will take the Krebsbach kid's points with a grain of salt at Mound, they played a very below average schedule, and it hasn't really translated over to Minnetonka in point production for him (3-5-8 in 28 games played). I know you're not. Just making my obs...

Re: Coach Lechner

In most cases, coaching success is a direct byproduct of talent level on the team. Bill Belichick & Phil Jackson are roundly considered great coaches - or at least successful coaches - but saddle them with the Lions or Twolves rosters back in the day and they'd have far fewer wins and a lot less...

Re: Class AA QF - Hill-Murray vs #1 Minnetonka

This is one of those years where I feel great about getting to State. There were people thinking East Ridge would beat Hill in the opening round of sections. Then Woodbury upset Stillwater, who I pegged to beat Hill, giving them an easier path to the finals. And I would have thought for sure WB woul...

Re: State Tourney AA Seeding Predictions

Also, pretty happy actually that Hill got the #1 6PM game. As others have said, I'm not expecting a lot. So I suppose I'd rather lose in primetime than at 11AM. This gives me something to look forward to during the morning sessions. Minnetonka absolutely shellacked Hill in their regular season meeti...

Re: State Tourney AA Seeding Predictions

The "random draw" strikes again!! Those pairings look eerily similar to what they would look like if all eight teams were seeded. Moorhead would be 6, Cretin 7 and Hill 8. Why doesn't the MSHSL spare us all teh BS and seed all eight teams? I so wish the MSHSL would just put the random dra...

Re: 2023 Section 4AA Playoffs

I'm sticking with Hill 2-1 tonight. One of these teams will enter the X next week without a quality win. I discount any HDM win, and while there may be a slight argument that Hill's win over STA and Gentry's win over WB are quality wins, they are very marginal in that respect. Looking at Gentry's r...
