Re: Section 4AA
If the gophers have an evening game, both the gophers and their opponents will have daytime skates. Give it up. That was not a problem in the past. Why is it a problem now? Never coincided in the past. I could be wrong. But since 1994 this has never happened? The Gophs have never been at home the w...

Re: Section 4AA
The point I was trying to make was that the women's tournament at Ridder has games at 1:00 and 4:30. Due to traffic and other concerns, they try to avoid having games in Mariucci and Ridder at the same time. Not saying it's a valid concern, just that it is a concern. The 500 people at consolation a...

Re: Section 4AA
In addition to the Gophers playing at Mariucci in the evening, the WCHA women's tournament is at Ridder Friday afternoon Egads, this nonsense again? A evening Gophs game, whether playoff of regular season, in the evening does not prohibit high school games at 10 and noon. It does not take long to c...

Re: Tourney parking
There are thousands of parking spaces in downtown St Paul. S lot of people mindlessly drive to to River Centre ramp; you wait in a long line to get in, then again to get out. A good ramp is the one east across the street from the Intercontinental Hotel. A lifetime resident of the Saintly City, I'll ...

Re: Biggest Section Upsets
If we're talking about greatest upsets, it's got to be an upset of a team that was a real threat to win the state championship, and that was not the case with White Bear. The '86 Richfield over Edina upset was big, and it came on the heels of a nearly as big upset of a very good Tonka in the semis. ...

Re: 2024 AA State Tournament Seedings
The more I look at this, the muddled it seems beyond 1 & 2, other than C/JM being a random draw. And if Cre-TINE (hat tip to Bro Francis) or White Bear win, it gets worse.

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.

Re: Section 4AA
The Gophers can't finish any lower than 4, so they will either be the 3 hosting the 6, or the 4 hosting the 5. Again, this is all immaterial.

Re: 2024 AA State Tournament Seedings
Normally a first time team coming in at #2 is dangerous. But it's hard to see Chanhassan losing to one of the random draws.

Re: Section 4AA
Has to be late conflict. Otherwise I'd imagine selling 8kish season tickets to a 3500 capacity arena would be kind of sketchy even if 8k attending is not a reality. This is always why I thought they've kept it at Mariucci. It's not too hard for someone to contact the attorney general and call bee e...

Re: Playoff Games Wednesday 2/28/24
I thought the exact same thing. They said it went off the pipe but there was no clank, the puck came out soft. Just the opposite thing happened in the WBL/SW game--clank, bounce of goalie, puck swept out of the zone and they came back and called it a goal. Well in the latter case the refs consulted...

Re: Section 4AA
There is an important update:
To avoid overloading the network server, tickets will go on sale at 1:00 Thursday FOR HILL FANS ONLY.
Tickets will go on sale on Friday at 1:00 FOR WHITE BEAR FANS.
I am calling on all Hill fans to honor this by not waiting until Friday to get their tickets!
