EP. 1-0 in OT. CM all alone.

Almost expecting a GR-EP semi-final rematch. Good thing I am just a fan. I'll take Rapids 4-2.

This has to be close to the 15th year of the event. FSN televised one of the games in 2007.

Told you

EP #1, throw the rest in a hat and draw them out. While it will be interesting to see just how the seeding works out, all that really matters is who draws EP. They are clearly #1, but I've seen stronger #1's. It would be interesting to see the final tally on the voting, compared to previous years. ...

Time for the MSHSL to start making teams opt-up and not just in hockey. Have some sort of specific criteria (with the biggest factor being state championships in a certain amount of time) where dominant teams have to move up. Not just a Hermantown thing: look at Blake in girls hockey or DeLaSalle i...

Seems like everybody who doesn't like something has a protest! Maybe enough people can close the roads so they can't get to the X?? That is true. Whenever I have something I'm against I just pick up another bottle of Whiskey. :) hahaha! you and a GR assistant. HAHAHAHAHA I'll take out of place comm...

When has petition or protest ever caused the actual desired change?

You don't understand the system in place then. Coaches rank the seven teams besides their own, the high and low rankings are thrown out giving each team 5 scores. The 5 scores are then totaled up and the teams are placed 1-5 accordingly. One coach can not, by himself, influence the rankings. I unde...

Yea, likely splitting hairs on this one. But one thing that bugged me the past two games watching Rapids was McLaughlin and Hain continually taking the puck wide when entering the offensive zone. Too often, (McLaughlin, in particular) ended up behind the net with the puck with nowhere to put it exc...

Yep, just my opinion, Bob, but I would take Worth over any kid I saw last night. Too bad the rest of the State won't see him on the big stage until next year :D I wonder how many people would definitively choose Worth over Miller, Mageau, Hain and McLaughlin. Not saying he isn't good or anything, b...

The hole in a lot of the logic on here is that it isn't a ranking system. It is a coaches vote. Coaches have biases for many reasons. EP, for example, was beaten by Grand Rapids. it's likely that they seed Rapids higher. Some teams also want to try to dictate matchups, which can wrench the whole th...

To find a weakness in a 45 save, 3-2 OT win for a goalie is silly. Also might be silly to say Worth was the best player in that game. If I was Trent, I'd play Stejskal the rest of the way. You ride the hot hand. If he gives up two quick ones on Thursday, put in Holum. Great problem to have. Yep, ju...

I'd rather have the coaches decide than Let's Play Hockey or a computer or YHH or FollowThePuck or Karl. Those teams got there. Those teams are the ones that play. Isn't the Let's Play Hockey rankings also the coaches poll? I see the Minnesota Hockey Coaches Association (MCHA) logo next to the rank...

Impressive hockey game. These two teams had a lot to live up to after last year's game. It wasn't quite as crazy of a game, but the recency factor helps. Some quick (and maybe obvious) thoughts. -Goalies were outstanding -The game was very physical -Rapids has some dudes that CAN FLY -Randolph was m...

Couldn't we save some of this "home ice" thing if no teams were allowed to practice at Amsoil at least during the section tournament?

BobLee, depends who shows up which night I guess. I can remember 2 games this year where Blakes performance and multiple shift endurance was pretty remarkable Miller has more goals, assists and points. He is one of the fastest kids in the state and he is outstanding on special teams. Hain has two f...

Link not working. My guess on the 5 Skaters: Anderson - HF Meyers - Del Middlestadt - Ep Miller - GR Sandelin - Herm Goalie: Begley - HM The five are: Begley-Hill-Murray McLaughlin-GR Mittelstadt-EP Meyers-Del Sandelin-Herm No disrespect, but McLaughlin might be the third best player on his own team.

To clean up one rumor - Rapids wasn't OK with being 4. In fact, there was a lot of anger and frustration with the process. They couldn't believe they weren't 3.

As for the games... I don't think either will be all that close.

High end talent along doesn't win games. That was proven when Avery Peterson won Mr. Hockey and Shep won the Brimsek and Rapids got housed in the section semis.

Two dads whose boys were going at it thought they should. A couple of punches some pushing, lots of f bombs. Serious for a few minutes than diffused. Idiots. I, unfortunately, find myself loosing respect for Grand Rapids boys high school hockey. I tell you this, I'm thinking Hain and McLaughlin wil...
