CHSfan10 .. this is an hilarious effort from either a Mora player, or a Princeton player to create an artificial stimulus to beat SCC... So, whatever,,,, (They saw what it did to get Princeton fired up....) I don't really think that anyone who matters on this discussion thread really believes that this was written by anyone from SCC....<br><br>OK, everyone hates Cathedral, let's let that just settle and go after the real meat of this thread, which is who's going to win the section.<br><br>As I've said, the team with the GUTS to go for it will win...<br><br>But my feelings are still that Princeton should do it. If they don't they probably won't have another chance in a while. The same for Sauk... Mora is dangerous, but do NOT forget Sartell and SCC! Both have the potential to knock off the favorites... So, let's see the predictions...<br><br>Priceton and SCC in the final.... OR Princeton and SR.... Depends on Mora...<br><br>Let's DROP THE PUCK!!<br><br><!--EZCODE EMOTICON START ;) --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... s/wink.gif ALT=";)"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <p></p><i></i>

My look at every team in Section 2A

Post by The hockeywriter » Sun Feb 16, 2003 11:09 pm

Ok there are reasons teams will win and loss and i am here to try to inform you on them.<br><br>#1 Sauk Rapids <br>Key Players- Ryan Pecskamp, Matt Wocken and Joe Dagneis<br>Why they will win. Because Dangeies will be solid in the nets and keep them in the game. Pesckmap will get his oppuetinies because Wocken is so good at setting him up they can play you tough and have played alot of good team and they have been in alot of close games this year and have won.<br>Why they will lose. No depth you can wear them down which alot of teams have done latlty forcheck them hard they will cough uop the puick and have soemone on Peskamp at all times you shut him down you shut Sauk down.<br><br>#2 Princeton<br>Key Players- Karl Larsen, Joey Bacon and Kevin Englund<br>Why they will win. They have th emost talent in this Section they have 3 solid lines and I think the best Defesive duo in the state in Larsen and Brown they can shut down other teams. ANd Bacon and Englund can really put the puck away. They will play solid D and they have been there they know what it takes to get to the SHOW.<br>WHy they will lose. Shoot lots of rubber at the goalies you will get some weak ones in one them also. put your first lines out agiant there second D pair in Ross and Jorgenson they are strong but Ross is slow and Jorgenson can cough up the puck you could get many oppertunites on them, Also I think after watching them on there first line if you can can take Bacon away and keep Englund in the corners you can let Schneider roam around he seems to be snake bit on the scoring I think he is the one you want shooting. I say these things but it seesm espesically with this team it is very hard to do.<br><br>#3 Sartell<br>Key Players- Brian Bruss, Chris Legatt and Micheal Sauer<br>WHy they will win. they are very fast can make you make mistakes and as the year has gone on there goaltending situation has gotten very good. they play very well on both ends of the ice but there speed is there best asset they have great speed and they have liek sauk played the better teams all year long.<br>WHy they will lose. They are still a yougn team they make mistakes and reall good tema will captilize on there mistakes. They have a very young D core and you must pressure them and they wilkl cough it up cyle down low just our power them and you can beat them.<br><br>#4 SCC<br>Key Players- Eric Dahl, Adam Kooppmeiners and Adam Schlepler<br>Why they will win. they are very well coached they have very good special temas there power play is real good dont give them chances they play a real aggersive penalty kill they can run many forchecks and just have a lot of hockey knowledge they make the other teams make mistakes and are really good at capitilzing on them.<br>Why they will lose. Speed if you got a really fast team you can make them scrable cause they cant keep up this is a real problem for SCC if you got a good fast team use it to your advantage and you will beat them also shoot puckls there goalie is weak as well.<br><br>#5 Mora<br>Key Players- Nick Hjelle, Rickey Akkerman and Shaun Corbett<br>Why they will win. Hjelle can shut any team down and Akkerman is the best player in this section he is so skilled has got the whole package. They can beat any team on any night it depends on what team will show up you never knw whcih team will show up.<br>How to beat them. Wear them down very easy to do also they are very undisplined they will do alot of stpid things pressuer them and they will tire down and then they will get stupid it has been the formula that has beating the Mustangs all year long.<br><br>#6 Proctor<br>Key Players- Travis Olson, Ryan Olson and Jeff Quale ??( if he plays)<br>WHy they will win. If they get Quale back these guys are dangerous they play that tough nose northern hockey beat you up scoring like 2 goals and the goalie can shut you down. They are nto a bad team but as there year has gone on they seem to bee getting bet more easily and I think they have lost confidence.<br>Why they will lose. If the other kid is in shoot the puck and espisecally in Sartell's case use you speed you got great team speed make these guys skate they have trouble kjeeping up with fast teams.<br><br>#7 Moose Lake<br>Key Players- Jake Dankiesson<br>WHy they will win. He is a real good goailie if he gets hot eh could maybe shut you down and get a goal and they could win but he need sto play perfect he is very good but he doesnt get alot of hepl but if he gets hot and they could get a qwuick goal the rebels could upset you.<br>Why they will lose. Just not enough depth or talent keep shooting and skatign and you will this team out they jus tdont have the skill of others.<br><br>#8 Duluth Denfeld<br>Key players- Bushey<br>Why they will win. If bushy can lead them he is a real nic eplayer and can do alot of nice thingsd has alot of good skill if he can have a big game teams will have trouble with him and the team around him is starting to play better which is a good sign because the hunters have alot of talent young talent though.<br>Why they will lose. Just shut down Bushey and there goaltendign is weak if you get lots of shots you can beat them but dont take them lightly they are playing good hovkey as of late they can knock off anybody.<br><br>#9 Pine City<br>Key Players- David Gross, Corey Brandt and Beau Berglund<br>WHy they will win. This a really dangerous twema they got a really good first line and real good goalie if you get a biug game from the forst line in Sameluson in the nets they are really dangerous team that cna beat anyone I think this a team no one wants to play espically after last years playoff run.<br>WHy they will lose. No depth whenever the first line isnt out there attack this team is very weak when the first line isnt out there pressure ther D as well they dont have alot of skill but look for Pine to be tough Voce will have these boys ready to play.<br><br>Well there it is tell em what you think please I will ahve my scouting report for DD vs PC on Tommrow it should be fun I will be at the DECC I cant wait it is Playoffs now new season anyones to win and oh yeah who do I think is going to t win 2A _______?????? <p></p><i></i>

Thanks!! I have to say that this is probably the best, and Very accurate in my opinion, playoff overview that we will see. Hockeywriter, I really appreciate the time that this must have taken.. And not ONE snipe at any team or player... just honest opinions... that's why you get the "We <heart> hockeywriter" signs at the games... gotta love that.. <br><br>Tell you what, this is probably going to be one of the best, and tightest playoff in years. You can throw a blanket over the top five and any one of them could come out first..<br><br>OK, a bit of advice to the players..... get off the internet, don't read any more of this stuff, and get mentally prepared to play some of the toughest games of the season. Don't think ahead to any game except for the one coming up. Not one team can think beyond the second game, and shouldn't think beyond the first. SCC and Mora will probably be the toughest first round game, but the other three games could be full of surprises...<br><br>Boys, it's in your hands now!!!

good advice

Post by theIceBarren » Mon Feb 17, 2003 10:30 am

that was some good advice. i hope that all the players tack it and use it even the kids on JV cuz if your V team dont have a full roster then you need to kick is in the as* and make it hard for the coch to pick who he wants on the roster. but if you still dont make it you will know that you did your best and that next year you will just have to try harder. <br><br>dose anyone know of any good camps?<br> <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :hat --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... s/pimp.gif ALT=":hat"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <p></p><i></i>

Post by ptown tigers » Mon Feb 17, 2003 1:22 pm

Accleration Minnesota is a good camp. It really helps your speed, and stride. My brother went to it after his Junior year(he was on JV) and it helped him alot, and last year he was a very solid player on Varisty. Played alot, I think he started at State. <p>Good Teams Would be Nothin without Good Water.....</p><i></i>

Post by 2ahockeydude » Mon Feb 17, 2003 5:00 pm

Mr. IceBarron.... You should start a thread just asking about camps. That is a VERY tough subject because.. and you're gonna love this.... IT DEPENDS..... Not one camp is right for everyone.. I bet it you ask this as a new thread, you'll get fifty different options...<br><br>Acceleration MN is probably the number one answer, however. You will not go wrong attending this program. BUT, it doesn't do it all, but it will help the most where it matters, in the skating and strength area... If a player can only do ONE thing between seasons, go to Acceleration... the work on the other skills as you can... <br><br>OK, that's one opinion, but I would suggest taking this to a totally new thread so that everyone can participate and give you some quality suggestions...<br><br><!--EZCODE EMOTICON START ;) --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... s/wink.gif ALT=";)"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <p></p><i></i>

If PC wins tomorrow night stay after, Gross and I (Brant) would like to meet you. But if we lose, you probably wouldn't want to talk to us afterwards. Tell me what you think. <br><br>p.s. Do you think that Sauk Rapids will be up there scouting? My assumption is that they don't care who wins and thinks we are both teams they WILL beat and have nothing to worry about. <p></p><i></i>

Pine City vs Duluth Denfeld In depth scouting report

Post by The hockeywriter » Mon Feb 17, 2003 11:14 pm

Ok I am heading up to the DECC tommrow night when <!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>PINE CITY (10-13-2)</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END--> VS <!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>DULUTH DENFELD (5-20-0)</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END--> Should be a really good first round playoff game. Here is my scouting report breaking it down by postion.<br><br>GOALTENDING: For <!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>DENFELD</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END--> In the nets will be senior Brett Omundson this kid is not a very strong goaltender you need to get lots of rubber on him he will give up a weak one here and there I think he will be on his game though tommrow nbight I mean this could be his last game he knows he does bad he is done I think he will be stronger than usally but still get shoots cross the blueline and shoot.<br>For <!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>PINE CITY</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END--> In the nets will be Junior Tony Samuelson this kid has the potenial to be great if he gets hot for 4 games he could very easily take this team to the show. If he is on watch out DD cause yopu will be trouble cause it seems as he only gets stronger as the game goes on he is very good at angles the one thing I noticed when watching him if he is on he barly every gives up a rebound but if he isnt rebounds will be there that is how I can tell if he is hot he is one of the best goalies around.<br><br>DEFENSE: For <!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>DENFELD</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END--> There is lots of young promising talent for the hunters but they are lead by there only senior back there in Tom Kalkbrenner he is very solid good with the puck has a nice shot he briongs the D unit alot of leadership. Other standouts are Josh Wick this kid is very good he has gotten better as the year has gone on. There are many young talented players back there they have took there lumps this year but have gotten alot better.<br>For <!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>PINE CITY</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END--> This is the reason Pine has not been better this year this group has been awful all year long and hasnt seemed to improve at all you dump it in and attack and the Dragons will cough up the puck The 2 bright spots on the group that have shown improvement are both Seniors in Trent Laugerman and Andrerw Stevens I think you will see big games from these guys tommrow being this could be there last games. The rest of the D unit needs alot of work but if they play within themseleves they wont hurt Pine in this game.<br><br>FORWARDS: For <!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>DENFELD</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END--> Up front the Hunters are strong with a couple real good kids the last time I saw them play there fiorst line had really gotten good it was Ridgewell, Bushey and Chiaverini this was a real solid line it could be different now I have heard Ridgewell is on d but at the time this was there #1 line and they are very nice strong group. The star here is Bushey the kid will be ready to go in his final home senior game I think we will see a real strong performance from him. Other good forwardss for the hunters are Aaron Ballantine, Carlin Page and Kevin Johnson all real stront players.<br>For <!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>PINE CITY</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END--> They are leads up front by there big line of Brant, Berglund and Gross this is a very good line one of the top in the section these guys need to have a big game for the Dragons which I think they will If they are on the Hunters will have nothing to stop them I think they will all have big nights they need to use there speed and skill and they will be big for the Dragons. Other good forwards for the Dragons are Seth Peterson, Dan Dreyer and Steven Nowling.<br><br>MY PREDICTION: I think this will be game that the Dragons make a statement to the Storm saying you cant take us lightly they better be there scouting this game or else the Dragons will teach them a lesson in the game on thurday. My score for this game <!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>PINE CITY 5 DENFELD 1</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END--> big game from the Pine City first line and Samuelson will be solid I am thinking that Pine will be ready Voce wont let them not be ready. ANd I think this is a real dangerous team that like I said earlier Sauk will need to scout or else the dragons will dump them to it should be a fun one tommrow night I cant wait.<br><br>On some personal notes: I would be glad to meet you guys you are very fine hockey players are you guys still thinking about going to Princeton next year cause I hate to look towards next year but if you guys all got together you would be quite a team because right now if everyone stays where there at SCC will be the big favorites wondering of you guys and mora guys are heading to Princeton just curious?? but I will be glad to meet you boys and goodluck it should be fun I think you guys will win.<br><br>Tell me what you think I am curious cause like you guys out there I am tring to step up my game for Playoffs. <p></p><i>Edited by: <A HREF=http://pub33.ezboard.com/bmnhs.showUser ... writer>The hockeywriter</A> at: 2/18/03 12:49:18 am<br></i>

The only thing I see wrong with your scouting report is the score. I think Pine will win, but it will be much closer then that. With Pine's severe lack of Defense I am predicting Bushey has a hatrick, in a 5-4 game. Samuelson is great goalie, but with no D I dont see him holding DD to only one goal. <p>Good Teams Would be Nothin without Good Water.....</p><i></i>

re: Denfeld

Post by IceDog » Tue Feb 18, 2003 5:49 pm

I really don't think Bushey will get a hat trick tonight. With the line he is playing on, he is more of a setup guy. He is easily the most talented skater for Denfeld, but not necessarily the biggest scoring threat. The only way I see him getting more than 1 is if Pine City lets him get inside a lot. Otherwise I would look for Denfeld to pick up a goal from either Chieverini or Feick, with one thrown in by someone on defense. <br><br>Denfeld has played much better the second half of the season, and has found a way to put the puck in the net. The biggest problem is goaltending. If they could have found a way to stop the puck this year, they had the talent to be a .500 team. If they still had Jake Burke and Brandon Johnson on this team, they would have been a real threat in 2A. <br><br>I hate to say it but I really think Denfeld is going to bow out to Pine City for the second year in a row. My prediction is 6-3....hope I am wrong though.<br> <p></p><i></i>

Well...I am taking back everything I said....Denfeld is up 4-0 with 8 minutes to go in the 1st period. Bushey has 2, Wick has 1 and not sure who got the other. <br>Wick scored 20 seconds into the game. <br>Sounds like the PC goalie is having a rough night<br><br>I officially resign my position as prognosticator and psychic<br><br> <p></p><i></i>

Post by IceDog » Tue Feb 18, 2003 7:58 pm

Denfeld defeated Pine City 5-2<br>Pine City was outshot 39-15 and never got on their game. It sounded like their goalie really had a rough night and had trouble holding onto the puck.<br><br>Denfeld scored 4 in the first period, followed by 2 quick goals to start the 2nd by Pine City. <br><br>Scoring for Denfeld was Bushy with 2, Wick, Page and Chiaverini<br><br>Brandt scored both of the goals for Pine City.<br> <p></p><i></i>

theres things about moose lake never winning a playoff game. i think that they could have had a chance this year if labounty, and swendsen would have stayed there, but they both went to the hilltoppers, and as for serrett, well they might as well dump him cause hes a little piece of garbage that they would probably do better without. <p></p><i></i>

Denfeld-Pine City

Post by classAhockey » Tue Feb 18, 2003 11:07 pm

I made it up to the DECC to catch this first round action between Duluth Denfeld and Pine City. Real rough night for Pine City's Samuelson, he let in some very weak goals early on and it looked as if Pine City might get back into the game scoring two goals right away in the second, both by David Gross. But couldn't muster any more than that...big win for Duluth Denfeld, they moved the puck real well tonight up and down the ice, and goaltending looked to be shaky at moments but made some real key saves on Pine City's top line. Bushy had a real good night for Denfeld, he set up alot of nice plays and controlled the puck when he had it, real nice player in that kid. Overall it was a pretty good game...it looked to me that Pine City only ran about 2 lines all game long, while Denfeld was running 3 to 4 i think. I don't think Sauk should have a problem beating these guys if they can get alot of shots, but good luck to both teams. <p></p><i></i>

section finals

Post by djp1321 » Wed Feb 19, 2003 1:34 am

About time Sartell gets recognized in section 2a!!! They've been getting screwed on section seedings for a very long time, mainly because of mediocor (sp?) records against (at the time) STRONG CLC teams. (SR is lucky they entered when the conferense is the worst it's been in alot of years) In past years, for some reason, 2a coaches couldn't understand the quality of Tech, Apollo, Willmar, Brainerd, and Alexandria. <br><br>But I think that Sartell has a very good chance to come out on top for sections this year. I think everyone is underating the amount of speed they have. What they lack in size is made up in speed, but at the same time are not afraid to make big hits!<br><br>For anyone that has watched Sartell play, they will admit that the tallent of this young team is in the sophmores. The majority of these guys moved up to play high school hockey as eighth graders, therefore giving them the confidence to play against all these older guys (Also heard rumors that sophmore Tyler Treudel may come back, this kid nearly led Sartell in points as an 8th and 9th grader. (Comparable to Peckscamp, but better being he's been exposed to CLC longer) Besides the point, but that could be the iceing on the cake for domination in the next 2 years. <br><br>Sophmores Hockeywriter missed in reports:<br>Forwards:<br>Sean Bryant-the most complete package of all around ability on the team.(skating/stickhandling)<br>David Lanctun-brick s*$t house, no one can take this kid down<br>David Hines-is a sniper, leading team with points<br>.... and thats just the second line <br>Defense: Charlie Binsfield is an errorless defensemen who is starting with Freshmen Michael Sauer who is straight from a Dynasty family of professional players. This combination could shut down any Peckscamp.<br>Goalie: Eric "Eddy" Anderson makes up for his size with his unbelievable speed and agility. Timing and angles are amazing. Making his seem like a 6'2'' goalie (j/k) <br> <br>As for the first line: the only kid I've heard about on this forum from Sartell is Bruss: He also has a senior winger on the other side of him who is the fastest kid on this fast team (AJ Hedstrom). Along with an all around senior centering them (Jon Stoebe). <br> <br>*Lacking third line for both offence and defence..may hurt against Princeton<br><br>As for the playoffs:<br><br>Sartell vs. Princeton! Can anyone remember the last time these teams have met and have not gone into OVERTIME!! This team is very solid. And if I remember Princeton has won everyone of these close games. (But recall, they didn't exactly have a walk through the park last year in the first game of sections) I think this game could go either way, but they just can't keep winning these OT games! Luck has to bounce the other way sooner or later. 3-2 Sartell in OT <br><br>Finals:<br>Sartell vs. Sauk Rapids This is by far the biggest rivalry match up. Many of you may wonder how? Being they first met just this year. The fued has been going on for alot longer than that!! SR and Sartell were combined in youth hockey. Almost everyone from both teams played with each other growing up. Once high school came, the much debated topic of who was better was always in question. (Sheldon would never agree to a scrimage, untill forced to play them in CLC this year). Of course both teams would bring their A game and but alot of heart into it. But, I don't think SR has enough come clutch time with only one Pecksy on the team. Peaked too early (example-awesome game against Tech in Holiday Classic)<br>4-3 Sartell on top. w/ maybe a hatter out of pecks (can't deny it the kid is good)<br><br>P.S. I just found this forum, and spent all last night reading and catching up on things that have been said. It has been very enjoyable, especially Hockeywriter comments.<br><br>P.S.S. (I hate to say this but, Catherdral, you have been over-rated for a couple years now. It has been down hill once the "team," Hartman left for Apollo) <p></p><i></i>

Big Win For The Hunters!!!!!!

Post by The hockeywriter » Wed Feb 19, 2003 3:49 am

Sorry about the lateness of this article but I needed my rest I am an old man so I woke up this morning before I go to work and wrote this so sorry about that lateness.<br><br><!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>Denfeld 5 Pine City 2</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END--><br>Well I went up to the DECC and man was I surpirsed at what I saw My prediction was way off. But I also knew that what happened to Pine City tonight could happen as Samuelson was a little weak earlier and the Pine City defense got walked all night. The first period Pine City came out flat and the Hunters were fyling as they scored right away in the game on a nice shot by Wick. And after that the period belonged to the Hunters when it was done it was 4-0 in Favor of Denfeld. Also during the first period Bushey had 2 goals what a game he had was the best player on the ice he was all over making plays he was not ready to end his High School Hockey career just yet. But then the second period came and it looked like Pine City was going to get back in it getting 2 goals from Gross to make it 4-2. The Pine City first line had a very nice game tonight but weak goaltending early on and Bad defense throughout were just to much to overcome. As they had more chances but a real nice game form the Denfeld senior goalie Brett Omundson yes he was shaky but when it came to crunch time he shut the door. The final ended up being 5-2 in favor of Denfeld with the Hunters adding another goal. Scoring for Denfeld was Bushy with 2, Wick, Page and Chiaverini. Real Nice job by the Hunters tonight as they were not about to let the Dragons end there season 2 years in a row. they came out flying got on top and didnt let Pine City back in the game.<br><br>My 3 Stars Of The Game<br>1.) Dane Bushey (DD) Big night for the senior he was all over the ice he was the best player out there I was very impressed by him.<br>2.) David Gross (PC) You cant let a 2 goal effort go not noticed he and the whole first line of Pine city had a real fine game.<br>3.) Brett Omundson (DD) Though he was shaky still came up big a few times a nice game from the Senior.<br><br>My Thoughts: Well it is playoff time and if you take a period off you will be done if you dont believe me just ask the Dragon Boys. When looking at Pine City's season you knew if there D didnt improve that they would not go anywhere. As You found out tonight One line is not going to carry you through playoffs you need a total team effort. But good season Berglund, Gross, Barndt and Sameulson you really carried the Dragons nothing to hang your heads about. As for Denfeld good job Men big win tonight but now you have the tough task of the Storm from Sauk Rapids this will be a much tougher team I think you will need to shadow Bushey on Peckscamp he seems to be the only player who can keep up with Peckscamp. You will also need an even better game game from Omundson in the nets. But enjoy this win for now but once practice starts tommrow you need to get focused again cause Sauk will be much tougher.<br><br>Just Some Words of Wisdom: Well one is done and 4 are soon to come and I love Playoff hockey just as much as the next hockey nut but it is still hard to watch a young mens dreams be broken and see there tears of pain and the look of great disapointment on there face. You should not be disapointed cause your a varsity hockey player I mean when you get older you can tell your kids yes I played on those historic Minnesota hockey nights. Heck I still rember all the High school games and I was just the manager. So more teams will fall until the the one reaches the ultiment goal of the State Tornament. So my advice is to have fun and not get tight cause in the end it is just a game and if you really think about the team having fun will win in the long run regardless of the score on the ice.<br><br>Well Boys it is Playoff time and we are down to the final 8 I will have scouting reports on all the games ready for tommrow it should be fun!!! The game i will be going to is the SCC vs Mora game should be a good one I cant wait!!!!!!<br><br>Well tell me wait you guys all think. Cause like I said earlier like you guys I am tring to step up my game for Playoffs. <br> <p></p><i></i>

I don't think Cathedral has been overrated at all until this year. When Hartman was at Cathedral sure he was a bright spot, yet they played a lot tougher schedule than they do now. I believe the ear he was there, in the Granite City Classic, Cathedral played Tech, Cloquet, and Bemidji. Those are all tough opponents for a small Class A school. Now as for Sartell, Cathedral was not a very good team last year and beat Sartell 3-0. Yet this year in the first game of the year Sartell won. You cannot say Cathedral has always been overrated. They never have been rated or thought of until this year when they played a weak schedule and won most of their games. Sartell is very underrated and if I was them wouldn't want to be recognized. Not being noticed is far better than everyone in the State knowing about your true potential. Sartell will SUPRISE everyone. <p></p><i></i>

Sauk Rapids vs Duluth Denfeld

Post by The hockeywriter » Wed Feb 19, 2003 11:12 pm

Ok over at Sauk Rapids tommrow night it will be the <!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>Sauk Rapids Storm (13-11-1) vs Duluth Denfeld Hunters (6-20-0)</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END--> it should be a better game then people think here is the break down on Players by Postion.<br><br>GOALTENDING: For <!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>Denfeld</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END--> In the nets will be senior Brett Omundson this kid is not a very strong goaltender you need to get lots of rubber on him he will give up a weak one here and there I think he will be on his game though tommrow night I mean this could be his last game he knows he does bad he is done I think he will be stronger than usally but still get shoots cross the blueline and shoot the puck.<br>For <!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>Sauk Rapids</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END--> in the nets will be Senior Joe Dagenais he is a very strong goaltender. He is very good at coming out and challeneging the shooters. He is a bigger kid so he takes up alot of the net plays his angles real well. To beat him your going to need to get lots of shots I think you go at him hard get good shots from the point and crash the net.<br><br>DEFENSE: For <!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>Denfeld</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END--> There is lots of young promising talent for the hunters but they are lead by there only senior back there in Tom Kalkbrenner he is very solid good with the puck has a nice shot he briongs the D unit alot of leadership. Other standouts are Josh Wick this kid is very good he has gotten better as the year has gone on. There are many young talented players back there they have took there lumps this year but have gotten alot better.<br>For <!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>Sauk Rapids</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END--> They are a very thin but solid group of D the Storm are lead by Senior Matt Wocken this kid is real good player he is always on the ice makes real nice plays out there one of the better passers i have seen also. The Storm will need to to play big games in the playoffs. Other real nice D in Sauk are Josh Walek and Jacob Meierhofer. The Storm have played well on the Blueline all year look for that to continue.<br><br>FORWARDS: For <!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>Denfeld</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END--> Up front the Hunters are strong with a couple real good kids the last time I saw them play there fiorst line had really gotten good it was Ridgewell, Bushey and Chiaverini this was a real solid line it could be different now I have heard Ridgewell is on d but at the time this was there #1 line and they are very nice strong group. The star here is Bushey the kid will be ready to go in his final home senior game I think we will see a real strong performance from him. Other good forwardss for the hunters are Aaron Ballantine, Carlin Page and Kevin Johnson all real stront players.<br>For <!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>Sauk Rapids</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END--> It is Ryan Peckskamp up front for the Strom but he is the most skilled player in this section he is in one word AMAZING he does so many nice things out there he makes up more then 90% of the Stroms scoring he flys out there is real strong on his skates and has real nice accrurate shot. If you can shut him down you will beat the strom but I have not seen or heard of a team do it yet he is a real big time player if the Storm go to the show it will be because of this kid. Some real tough Injures for the storm are Senior Koepp and Streit bopth suffering broken legs which really hurt this team. Other good forwards for the storm are Corey Cook and Peter Abel.<br><br>MY PREDICTION: i think this game will be closer then perople think I think that DD needs to shadow Bushey on Peckscamp I think he ius skilled enough to keep up and maybe shut down Peckskamp. I think if they can do this and shut down Peckskamp You may see sauk Panic a little might give them a little scare. But in the end I think Sauk has to good of D and Goaltending to lose I will say <!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>Sauk Rapids 6 Denfeld 1</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END--> In the end Peckskamp wil have a big night I think on tghe weak goalie of Denfeld but it should be fun to see how the Bushey vs Peckskamp matchup goes.<br><br>Tell me what you think I am curious cause like you guys out there I am tring to step up my game for Playoffs. <p></p><i></i>

SCC vs Mora

Post by The hockeywriter » Thu Feb 20, 2003 12:09 am

Well I am going to the MAC tommrow it should be a good game between <!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>Mora Mustangs (13-9-2) vs St. Cloud Cathedral Crusaders (15-7-1)</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END--> Should be a real good game here is the teams broke down by postions.<br><br>GOALTENDING:<!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>Mora</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END--> Nick Hjelle he is a very good goaltender if you look at the scores and see like 3 or 5 goals against you don't understand that Mora this year is giving up an average of 30 shots a game which is very bad this kid can take over I think he will be on tommrow night and will make it very hard on SCC. <br><!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>SCC</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END--> Rindelaub the kid has gotten better as the year has gone as well but still lack the abilty to control his rebounds teams who shot from the point and and crash the net will eat this kid alive but if he can just face one shot is very good wont beat him on very many first shots.<br><br>DEFENSE: <!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>Mora</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END--> the groups are like this Mora has Akkerman real nice player has alot of skill and a real good overall game. Then it goes M. Horbacz another real good player who is young and is a rising star if he can control his temper still lots of skill here. The other D is Grabowski him and Akkerman will be switching off betwen forward and D through out the game. The loss of Crawford and Kastenbauer really hurts this unit but still The will be solid on the Blueline tomrrow night I mean this is there season.<br><!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>SCC</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END--> Ok there first unit is Schleper and Crandell a very nice combo. They do a nice job Schleper is very good at hooking and slowing down kids to make up for his lack of speed can rough it up in the corners usally comes out with the puck. Crandell I am not very high on this kid just cause he is young doesnt mean he is good makes alot of mental errors out there seems to not like to take hits. Hit this kid and he will be done Schleper covers for him alot. Second Unit is Mach and Schmidt very good second unit Mach is alot like Cradell very rough on the edges and really doesnt impress me much but he seems to be able to control players out there. But the star of the SCC defensive unit is by far Schmidt he is really solid good with the puck can make things happen really does a nice job I like him alot.<br><br>FORWARDS:<!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>Mora</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END--> well Mora's first line is not as strong now without N. Horbacz but still a good line in Akkerman or Graboski, Corbett, Nordstrom (who is a 10th grader filling in) the line is still very good even without Horbacz look out for Corbett he has got a real nice scorers touch. The second line for Mora consits of J. Horbacz, Greski, Kirschner a decent pretty underated line they do a nice job and are alot better then people think. And the third line Mora's which is Raivo, Hosley, and Peterson or Akkerman this line is not good young and not experinced and they wont play alot Mora will run 2 lines.<br><!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>SCC</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END--> Koopmieners, Dahl and Hall a real nice first line for SCC they do alot of nice things out there I have been very impressed by them. They run all there systems so well they are not a very skilled group but they know how to play the game and you make a mistake they are ready to captilize and they always seem to find a way to score much like the Mora line. There second line is a good one as well with Curtis, Wartin and Hengel they again are not a real skilled unit but they run systems so well they make you make mistakes and can captilize this is the story for the whole SCC team. There third and second line are about the same with Anderson, Grahek and Noack. I like this line they really have little if any skill but they get the job done run the systems well and play just really good all around hockey.<br><br>My Prediction: I think this will be a really good game will both teams getting lots of chances. I think in the end though that SCC depth will win them the game they will be ablt to wear down Mora. My Score <!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>SCC 3 Mora 2 OT</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END--> I think that in the end Mora will just wear down. but it should be fun I will be there I cant wait.<br><br>Tell me what you guys all think I am tring hard to give good reports. <br><br><br><br> <p></p><i></i>
