WBL was outcoached and outplayed in this one. Strong goaltending, and Roseville not capatilizing on some grade A chances were the only reasons for a WBL win. I think the strong two man forecheck really caught them offguard, it shouldn't, but if I was coaching against WBL that's exactly how I would ...

In a broader sense, if the trend of the most talented Minnesota kids jumping ship for greener pastures continues, we will be left with what in essence a big JV league. That would eventually make the game (and state tournament) a lot less attractive for me as a fan, and would cause me to lose intere...

Re: Major Juniors vs. MN high school coach's assoc. - 2/26 S

Pauly said his decision to dismiss Baer "is related to Major Junior hockey" but declined to comment further because Baer remains a student. Speaking as the president of the coaches' group, Pauly said: "A trip to a college is in keeping with the overall mission and vision of high scho...

However, this statement is false... Out of playing options, Baer signed with Vancouver on Feb. 15. Baer still had plenty of playing options outside of Vancouver. How many BCHL, NAHL, USHL, or Midget Major programs would have loved to have him come mid-season? That statement is actually true. USA Ho...

Re: Major Juniors vs. MN high school coach's assoc. - 2/26 S

hockey hub has reposted a detailed, well-written article in the Strib about the tension between WHL/Major Juniors and the MN high school hockey coaches association (and, indirectly, NCAA hockey). It focuses on Alec Baer's situation as the lead-in, but also touches on what others have faced (e.g. Bi...

To acknowledge that KP is the head of the coach's association and then suggest that he shouldn't have an opinion about Canadian major juniors is just silly. No one is suggesting he shouldn't have an opinion. The suggestion is that he shouldn't substitute HIS OPINION for that of the player/family. I...

D3PO, its tough to respect your opinion for a number of reasons. Firstly, you spent significant time on Mn Hockey Hub literally calling our players names during spotlight games. Secondly, you step all over your own points constantly. In earlier posts you said HM would get upset by Lakeville North i...

Last night Brown was able to finish on a couple of great chances and Dugas made 2-3 keys saves at critical times. I am still baffled on why Funk does not get more credit as he does things game in and game out that do not show up on the score sheet but are difference makers. I thought Joey came down...

Yeah this one is over. Stillwater had some tremendous opportunities but a couple saves by Dugas and a Pony lost an edge with an empty net.

Then Willie Brown comes down and makes it 3-1

Then immediately a Stillwater goal is called back on an early whistle.

Not Housley's night ... what else is new
