Only way trf wins is through their goalie. He carried the team in the sections.
Otherwise, the team is more or less mediocre talent.

Egf beats trf (again) on Tuesday. Egf takes the section. Not that it matters; any team that gets it will be trounced in St. Paul. Very mediocre teams throughout the section. Trounced by who? Single A as a whole seems to be mediocre as a whole this year compared to other years. That isn’t just limit...

TRF will be terrible again. PR's to lose

I can understand that ticket sales are not as important as TV contracts. I also get why the U had a ton of empty seats for a game against Penn State when it started in the 4th quarter of a Packer/Viking game. The series in Grand Forks is quite a bit different though. There won't be a ticket availab...

I heard its out of FSN's hands. Both Duluth's MY9 (games last weekend) and Midco (ND series) won't let them have access to it. Then they wonder why the fans lose interest. There was nothing but bitching and moaning for 5 years because that series was interrupted and now that the Gophers are going t...

They were lucky if they had 5,000 people in the building on Sunday. Interest in Gopher men's hockey has definitely dropped. Comments on the game: Nanne scares the crap out of me in the defensive zone. He wanders all over the place with no regard to position. Mittelstadt is the real deal. The kid ha...

Ask Tommy Vannelli. Oh wait.......

Apparently, you were not as good of a player as he was or as smart either.

Apparently you don't know much about him.

Never thought of that. You may very well be correct. Do you mean MSHSL? Once you start 7th Grade repeating a grade doesn't get you an extra year. He would be out of eligibility after his Junior year. Not sure how this would help him from a Hockey standpoint, must be some other reason if true. What?...

You may as well lose respect for the entire system then because it isn't just one school.

Already there myself

RIP. Way to young.

It would have to improve to reach the level of laughable.

Does anyone know if they ever built that private ice rink for their kids? I remember reading about the public hearing farce, but never heard if they actually went through with it and built it. They bought one of the rinks at Vadnais Sports Center. Their school is a new building adjacent to the rink...

Only difference between the Gophers and Badgers who are both handing out scholarships like Halloween candy to kids that still want Halloween candy is that the Badgers aren't going to have a coaching change in the next two years. Only so many scholarships to go around. Verbals mean nothing other tha...

I don't deny the kids talent vs their peers and if they stay on the same projection they're currently at I believe they'd probably end up at the U of M anyway. But let's call it what it is...a publicity stunt by their parents to draw attention to their other baby...Gentry Academy. "Gentry...wh...

I realize these early verbal commitments are essentially meaningless, but have Lucia and the formerly proud Gopher program been reduced to publicity stunts like this? The younger brother, Cruz, looks comically tiny and young even for age 13. Projecting the physical and skill growth of a player 5+ y...

Grandpa is going to have to pull out all the strings to get grandkid playing time.

The fact that he's even on the team is a joke.

So never underestimate the power of the Lou

Great kid !

Great family !

(first)

No one in this forum, but anyway........get a kick out of how this league announces all the d3 "commitments" players are having.

Bit of a reach, that.

The best 54 hockey players that play both ends of the rink. And sometimes, they don't even have to be there that weekend. :P It is what it is though. This is USAH doings. They want certain players advancing and they move them up - it is their program. And you would be hard pressed to argue against ...
