Re: 2020 Section Tournament Scores Thread

That makes 4 of the current top 10 teams out today... Edina, Cretin, Rosemount and Prior Lake. I have no idea what to think about this year. Burnsville could still win it all... Probably depends which ranking you're looking at. Karl has Rosemount at 11 and Edina 13. GR was 10, who also lost today. ...

Re: 7AA 2019-2020

You go to that alignment and it just about becomes an all metro state tournament being there is rarely a participant from the southern part of the state. There needs to be two schools potentially representing the north down at the Excel! Yeah I would agree. Better to have 2 mostly northern sections...

Re: 7AA 2019-2020

Hockey is already metro centric as is all the sports, that is where the population resides. Out state is getting older by the year and school enrollments dwindle each passing year. makes zero sense to have 2 northern team in one section. Where are your big hockey numbers coming from with no industr...

Re: 7AA 2019-2020

Rapids firing on all cylinders heading into playoffs. Biggest collapse tonight was the opening 20 seconds. Great game. Both teams had flurries of control and chances. Rapids looked better to close it out. If it comes to it, I think Andover will have a hefty challenge in front of them. This team has ...

Re: 7AA 2019-2020

Can someone with better knowledge clarify something for me? I see Duluth East finished with a regular season record of 10-12-2. Is that the first sub-.500 regular season record ever in the program's history or, the first in a very long time? First one since 1952-53. Lee I've been waiting all year f...

Re: 7AA 2019-2020

If Cloquet can't attract or retain good players moving to single A will not help that cause one bit. If good kids wanna trophy chase on a single A team in the area they'll go to hermantown.

And come on, if they quit opting up then the 7AA thread will miss out on all this awesome banter with kniven!

Re: 7AA 2019-2020

Rapids is definitely locked in as we roll into sections. Playing lights out defense. Haven't allowed more than 2 goals in over a month. Clafton GAA below 1.70. Cloquet was getting pretty frustrated late in the game, couldn't buy a goal so laid a cheap cross check against Young in the closing minute....

Re: 7AA 2019-2020

I have heard Bischoff will be back soon. Losing DelGreco would hurt. He's been the spark plug lately. Thought they finally had the top line figured out after the Wayzata game but injuries keep piling up! Jeez

No he is from Hibbing I believe his dad still works at mintac, sometimes you just wonder what could have been if he would have went down 169 instead that’s the horse this Rapids team is missing a natural goal scorer.

Re: 7AA 2019-2020

Grand Rapids with a big win against Wayzata should almost lock the two seed. I would think so too. The shot counter heavily favored Wayzata but scoring chances favored Rapids, especially capitalizing on those chances: scored on a breakaway, scored after winning a puck race in wayzatas end while the...

Re: 7AA 2019-2020

That's why they play the game! I agree with you on this one for the most part. But the one big thing is home ice advantage in that QF game can be huge. In the end if the team is good enough, they should be alright. I think that is a coaching issue. I get that home ice, last change and etc are all f...

Right score, wrong teams.

Rapids in control most of the game. Aside from the first 30 seconds and a pp goal, galatz and co were held in check. Cloquet doesn't look very deep beyond that top line.
