I would appreciate your thoughts if you would include a valid argument as to why you think I am wrong or whatever instead of doing a drive by. But hey, if that's all ya got then whatever. You don’t think they beat Eden Prairie or Hill-Murray. The rest of us recognize OT wins. Ok, give them the EP w...

Edina game was a weird one in the early going, but they eventually beat Eden Prairie 6-3. Hornets on the board second shift. On a PK, Jungels passed across to Walker on a 2-on-1. 10 bangs it into the empty net. Or so it seemed. Dietrich actually got over to make a save with the leg pad. Still 1-0. ...

Yeah, I hear what all you guys are saying, Holum and Fitzgerald have been great, but so have the kids who were nominated for the award. Kelly and Garrity have the best stats of anyone in the state this year. Garrity of Rosemount is 1st in the state for save percentage with .945. He is 2nd in GAA wit...

As I recall MSHSL has some rules about a school not playing with their conference for just one sport, like they have some hoops to jump through. But reasonable people should be able to figure something out. Maybe teams should be able to trade places for one sport. Benilde is down this year so this ...

Well in the end it doesnt really matter, I treat all teams the same, in this case all teams are awarded points based on regulation time. Why should a team get the same credit for a win when it took them extra time to get the win than another team that did it in regulation time? Thats why I use regu...

Overall the other teams you listed have a stronger body of work than Elk River, they have earned more points in my formula. If Elk River can pick off Duluth East coming up that would probably move them back into the top twenty, until then, they are outside looking in. They only have one significant...

No Elk River in top 20 but DM , EP and Cloquet. What are you smoking that makes you Happy Overall the other teams you listed have a stronger body of work than Elk River, they have earned more points in my formula.

7-1 now, CDH is 3-3 on the Powerplay this period. Holy Family was given up a ton of odd man rushes

What I meant to say is do you think they will become the preferred private school west of the Mississippi for hockey families Is Blake the new Breck? They moved up to AA, so no. I think with the Minneapolis youth teams looking better you can expect a good amount of them to end up at Blake. Accordin...

I think it is interesting that Hermantown is ahead of St.Thomas lol

I think a key difference between Osseo and Maple Grove has to do with demographics. The city of Osseo area and population wise is tiny. Osseo high school has kids from Maple Grove, but it also takes a lot of kids from Brooklyn Park. The Maple Grove high school takes kids from Dayton, Rogers, Corcor...

Ok, so here is a question, do you basically agree with my top 5 teams? Maybe not in exact order but the correct 5 teams? If you do, then why would my formula correctly place those teams there but not correctly place the other 15 teams in general? My top 5 basically matches the top 5 of other polls,...

I think you undervalue Rosemount, Rochester Century, and Tartan. Tartan had a better result against Mahtomedi than Hill Murray did. Rosemount is in the toughest conference, top to bottom, in the state and is on top so far. The Suburban East is awful, WBL lost to Century, Eastridge lost to Owatonna....

What about Blake? Wins over Orono and Wayzata. Maybe losses matter in these rankings. Losing to Minneapolis and Blake is not great. So you mean Wayzata losing to Blake and Brainerd [and Hermantown] in their last 4 games should matter, right? Blake is still a question mark for me in AA. I don’t thin...
