Re: The Hermantown Thread

I wonder two things here. 1. Why do so many people care so much about this? 2. How many of the hundreds of posts can Rainer2 claim? 1. Because when Hermantown was losing to STA and Breck in the title game every year, Bruce Plante and the Hermantown faithful wailed to the heavens that it wasn't fair...

Re: The Hermantown Thread

Point being 1900+ posts to date. Everyone who tunes in knows what most posters opinions are. At what point do we all just move on? Ya they sandbag. Yah they have kids enroll from outside.

No way they can Move up now :D :D :D :D :D :D :D And it's about to get so much worse for those 9th graders. Not only do they not get to ...

And be able to beat the AA champ almost every year? Because that's what they would need to do get on the same level as Hermantown. ...

Re: The Hermantown Thread

If you watched the final, it was clear that HTown was head and shoulders above their opponent in all facets of the game. Not only were they faster, deeper and more “skilled”, but their decision making and overall hockey IQ clearly were on a completely different level. Is this the fault of the kids?...

Name me one goalie from htown that has had amazing success. Htown is a goalie cemetary
I can't disagree. It does make me wonder why anyone would transfer there. (Other than for the guaranteed trip to state, that is.) :-k

TBH....Andrews is no Plante. And as usual, goaltending is their weakness. But when u out shoot ur opponents 2or 3 to 1 no worries there
Very true. Andrews has yet to complain on TV about metro tourney teams getting "kids from everywhere", and that his team is all "hometown" kids. :mrgreen:

Streaming this 7AA final. Sad to say but north eastern MN hockey is dead other than Hermantown. Yet they still choose to sand bag. If they move up, the area might not be considered an after thought in hockey circles. Here’s to hoping they move up for northerners prides sake. Maybe I'm taking your s...

Re: Hermanweird

Especially when they've spent their entire hockey lives beating EP, Tonka, Edina, Wayzata, DE, etc. Hermantown decision makers continue to rob these kids of a chance to really show what they have against top competition when it really matters. :oops: I’d say Beth Clark the AD is the main one.

Poor Hunters. 3-0 already. HTown is on a completely different level…
Hawks put this one away early... WOW
6-0 HTown at the end of the 1st. Coach Jago going nuts during intermission interview.
In what way?
