I agree that the Rams defense will need help, they are basically left with kids that have a year of varsity experience (state experience as well), but that alone will not help them because from what I have seen they are not fast enough nor big enough to compete with a team like Hill had this year. ...

As for Roseau moving down to A it will never happen, dont ever entertain that idea, and to say that '07 was a fluke because all the GOOD teams lost is a joke, the '07 Rams were far better than this years team both defensively and offensively. They would have won again if the SAME team was back. Wel...

Mass exit in Roseau?...players, coach?....c'mon Ram fans, fill us in. Don't you wish. The boys will be back next year--with a few new faces added. There isn't a better place to play hockey (or team to play for). Word out of EGF has Useldinger leaving town...is he one of your new faces? The new face...

So what does Roseau consider a good team these days? The team that beats the one good team (sometimes not so good) in the section to get to state or a team that legitimatly competes in St Paul? Reason i ask is because a lot of people have been giving STA a real hard time for chasing tropheys by not...

Think of Hill if they had Nick Pryor this year (he did look into coming back prior to this year). I think Hill would have been thought of right there with Edina and Roseau if that were the case. Oh well, can't complain the way it turned out. they were right there with roseau and edina..... They cer...

I hope Hill's defense plays as well against Roseau as they did against WBLake. Hill also plays three full lines and Roseau tends to depend mainly on its top 2 who will get worn down by the 3rd period if the game is fast paced. I think Roseau was too focused on trying to have a shut out and made a h...

Re: Roseau a Lock to Repeat?

Is Roseau a Lock for the State AA Title again? Definitely not a lock. They still have a couple of really good teams to beat. Having said that, I think that they are the best team. They looked good against Blaine, but I've seen them play much better. They were not quite firing on all cylinders--thei...

That shoots down any arguments about the abuse of open enrollment for athletics. It's amazing that they are this good with exclusively Roseau kids. They must have incredible youth coaching.

Re: Roseau v Blaine????

How Blaine wins......Roseau pulls goalie, skates one short for entire third period and Blaine scores twice to win 5-4.
