Re: 2023-24 season Early departures
Weird, that similar to Miller, rumors around EP were that Townsend wasn't coming back. But then he was just announced as a captain for next year, so who knows? How much does NHL Central Scouting rankings play a role in a kid deciding whether to stay or go? Teddy's stock dropped from the midterm to ...

Re: Home Ice Advantage
All these shows are on YouTube under the Minnesota Wild channel if you couldn't watch on Ballys. Was really nicely done. I like how they discussed some of the challenges and how youth hockey programs work out east towards the end of the series.

Top AA schools since 2000
I created a metric based on state tourney results through 2023 to determine the top schools in class AA since 2000. 4 points awarded to the champion, 3 points to the runner-up, 2 points for advancing as far as the semi-final, and 1 point for qualifying for the tournament. Here are the top 5 teams: 1...

Re: State Tourney Short Stories
I’m not much into moral victories, but Hill has to be pleased with taking the consolidation title considering they came into the playoffs with a losing record and I don’t think many had them pegged as coming out of 4AA.

Re: Mike McGraw
His wife passed away in March 2021. Not sure if that played a role or anything, but was a significant life event.

Re: CLASS AA SF - #1 Minnetonka vs #4 Andover
Pure juice. Tonka is certainly a beatable team and Andover has the second best top line in the entire tourney (Warroad at the top). If Thoreson, Casey, and Conway are able to get some good scoring chances, I like Andover's chances. 50/50 game. Agree on 50/50 game. Disagree on second best line. Thor...

Dear hockey, more bands and organ music, please. When I go to a hockey game, I don't want to feel like I'm at a rave.

Re: Class AA SF - #3 Edina vs Cretin-Derham Hall
I was most impressed with CDH's play of all the teams on Thursday. Could see CDH making this a game, but Edina will prevail in the end. Trying to figure out how Edina goes from playing a tight game against Wayzata to whatever you call that against Moorhead.

Re: Defending My Honor (Braemar Scoreboard Operator)
Considering the action was in Shakopee's zone for 95% of the game, I can believe the 60+ shots for Tonka - it was an onslaught. Not sure if it was a take just to elicit a reaction for the pod. The tone of the podcast felt kind of ornery (what the fans say, trolls, etc.) and that might be part of tha...

Re: Winter Storm and Thursday's games
So Prior Lake just went to E-Learning on Wed and Thurs. No athletics are to be played. But Shakopee appears to be adamant about playing on Thursday. My guess is the game moves to Friday... Holy Family does not want to move the game either. Guessing Eden Prairie will go to e-learning. Why these 4 sc...

Re: 2AA and 6AA back at Mariucci?
I think the Mariucci days are over. They didn't get the crowds to support continuing to pay the rent on the building. Too bad. Sure was fun when all - or nearly all - the seats were occupied. Yeah, those were the good days. If you came for just the second game, you were left standing in the concour...

Re: AA Rankings for 2/12/23
Would either of Chan and Tonka secretly not deeply covet the #1 assuming EP stays at 5 and likely wins their section QF game? EP could be a sleeper based upon more recent results. No. You want 1 to play Jefferson in quarters as opposed to 2 and get Chaska first round - especially Chan with the riva...

Re: Games Thursday 2-9-23
Hockey Hub says Gentry beat Chan, 3-1. As long as Tonka doesn't stumble, they should have the top seed locked up in section 2AA.

Section playoffs, specifically the semis and finals, in 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 should be really good. Truly a year where anything can happen in AA.

HDM 2025
I saw that Shakopee was awarded Hockey Day in 2025. I curious to see where they host the event. I lived there for almost 15 years...there's not a ton of open lakefront real estate if Bally's wants something that is scenic for television.

Re: AA Rankings for 12/25/22
I can see why PageStat does not like Rogers. They got exposed this week. Two ties against teams they should have beat (Chaska and EP) and a loss to Edina. PageStat don't lie?
