Lakeville South..surprise team ??
I think Lakeville South has a chance to be the surprise team of the year, not that they are totally under the radar, but I think they could potentially be a solid top ten team. They return almost 80% of their scoring from last year with Kloos and Harvey leading the way, 75 goals last year. If they can get some decent defensive play and goaltending. Anyone else agree with me or am I off on my thinking ??

I think if you asked the kids this age they wouldn't call it a big surprise if South had a good year. Back before there was an Eastside team to play for, this group of kids achieved at every level. The loss of Osterberg would be felt on any team but for a little background.....they won the silver stick as squirts, won two out of three at state as peewees...knocking of this same group of peewees from Eagan on the way to get there and won the Bantam VFW state. While youth success does not always carry over to high school this will be the most skilled team South has ever fielded.

South has a number of talented players. The question mark is if the coaches are good enough to lead them? This team will have two big tests at the start of the year, Edina Dec 3rd, and Eagan Dec. 10th. Time will tell.Redlight wrote:Have to agree.

Watching South occasionally over the years since they became a school it has always seem like they are a decent team but just lacking in part of their game. In the early years, they had a great goalie (Yumusaklar) that kept them in most games and got them to state but struggled offensively. In recent years, they have had great goal scorers and playmakers but couldn't get the goaltending. This year they seem pretty well rounded and since they aren't considered a top 10 team in the state they could sneak up on teams like Edina, Eagan or EP. I am really hoping the represent 1AA this year, would love to see Kloos and Harvey on the big stage

Don't think they will have to worry about sneaking up on anyone if they play the way they did today against in my opinion, a very average edina team. They got hammered 5-1. Their goaltending looked rough, but nontheless, they were outplayed in every facet of the game. Kloos (of course) tallied their only goal and was the best player on the ice, although edina did a nice job containing him today.
Thought Nanne really blended in and if I didn't know his # probably wouldn't have even noticed him. Both teams have a lot of work to do. South was very undisciplined today as well.

You must have watched a different game. First game jitters for Lakeville and their goalie vs. 4th game confidence for Edina. Throw out the first period and South outplayed them the rest of the way.Sats81 wrote:Don't think they will have to worry about sneaking up on anyone if they play the way they did today against in my opinion, a very average edina team.

they still got outscored the last two periods and there only goal was by the player we all expected to score. kloos is there team and was the best on the ice but he himself was not better then the whole edina team

Throw out the first period and the score was 2-1 Edina. We all know the score does not always reflect the play on the ice. First game vs. Fourth game was a big difference here. It was no worse than even play after the first and I think a slight edge to South. There will be ups abd downs but Lakeville will be a strong contender at season's end.green4 wrote:your saying lakeville out played them in 2 periods even though they lost 5-1Jimbo99 wrote:You must have watched a different game.

I agree with Jimbo.. I was at the game and in the 1st period it was very obvious that this was South's first game of the season and Edina's 4th (especially in goaltending). Had South started their senior goalie that came in in the 2nd period and only let up one goal it may of been a different game.. I really don't think South has anything to worry about and I expect a much better game against Eagan next week

I have a hard time believing if LS played four more games prior to the game last night against Edina, the outcome would have been different. These players now a day’s train and play games year round. LS was ready to play. Let’s quit sugar coating it. LS lost the game in the first, second, and third period. What until Eagan!RickyTicky wrote:I agree with Jimbo..

the fact you say that makes me wonder if you ever played a sport. Yes, players train for games year round but training and playing in a big game are not even comparable. The anticipation and the nerves of playing in your 1st big game against a ranked opponent (especially for younger players) can cause mental mistake, shaky and tentative play and poor execution and that was evident from LS (especially their goalie) in the 1st period. And if you asked anyone that was there LS had the better of chance in the 2nd and 3rd... and I'm not saying they would of won hands down if they had 4 more games of experience but I think it would of been a much closer game either way

The goalie was shaky in the first period, but Edina beat them to the puck consistently.

What kind of goals were they? Did he go coast to coast, beat a D one on one, and deke the goalie? Snipe one from the top of the circle? Or were they rebound goals? ....perhaps I didn't read enough of the post, but why does this matter?oldshad77 wrote:....BTW - 2 of the Edina goals came from Malmquist -- a freshman.

your missing the big picture at least to me, LS needs someone to step up because they have one great player take him off the team, its a 5-0 win for edina or 2-0 throw out the first period, without Kloos its a regular LS team we have all seen and edina did a fairly good job with Kloos but better teams will be able to handle him even betterJimbo99 wrote:Throw out the first period and the score was 2-1 Edina.

Hey - This just isn't that big a deal. South lost. It's a game and Edina was better yesterday, as keepyourheadup said above. Kloos is a great player, arguably best in the state. There is no doubt there is a gap between him and the rest of his team (as there would be on virtually every team in the state). If you take the top guy or two off any team I think most all of them change pretty dramatically. That doesn't mean the rest of his team is lousy by any measure. There are plenty of players on that team that top teams would love to add to their lineups. Give it all a few weeks.green4 wrote:your missing the big picture at least to me, LS needs someone to step up because they have one great player take him off the team, its a 5-0 win for edina or 2-0 throw out the first period, without Kloos its a regular LS team we have all seen and edina did a fairly good job with Kloos but better teams will be able to handle him even betterJimbo99 wrote:Throw out the first period and the score was 2-1 Edina.
