Farmington 9, Simley 3 Farmington is a very strong club, and they showed that Simley has a lot to work on. Was a good wake-up call early in a week full of solid opponents for Simley. I was most impressed by Flor (who should be playing D1 next year somewhere by my assessment) and E. Johnson is a strong player too - as is the Ripley girl. McNamara made some nice saves as well. If SSP beat this Farmington team 9-0, I'm especially not looking forward to seeing SSP!!! <a href="http://www.esportsdesk.com/leagues/hock ...

Eden Prairie 4 - Eagan 0 EP just has too much depth and talent. Pezon is on another planet. A very impressive shutout against a quality team. Not sure what the shots were, but EP seemed to dominate.

Rochester Mayo/Lourde vs SSP 1-3 The game was 1-1 through 2 periods. SSP put up 2 in the third to come out on top 3-1. Rochester had some good scoring chances but SSP is tough to score on. They don't let you spend a lot of time in their zone. Very solid breakout and defense.

COME ON! E.P. HAS PLAYED ONLY ONE REALLY TOUGH GAME THIS YEAR AND THAT WAS WAYZATA. THEY WERE SCORELESS AFTER 3, WENT INTO OVER TIME AND WON OFF A SOFT GOAL OFF OF A PLAYERS SKATE. SSP WILL BEAT THEM, SO WILL BSM! GUESS I'M JUST KIND OF SICK OF THE E.P. BAND WAGON!

Wow - I question if EP has only played one tough game. They will not get beat by either SSP or BSM if they play to their best ability. Remember that some teams do have bad games/nights so if an they do lose don't just jump on them and say they are not that good. On paper and on the rink EP has the most talent and is the best team in the state.

Not sure how you can say EP is best on paper and rink. I guess by your standards they might be. I havent seen them play yet. But i think a couple other teams might disagree with that. THe problem is paper and ratings mean nothing. You have to bring your best everynight. You cant use that as an excuse for losing, its a poor excuse. And of course they will have to play their best to beat most teams, but you cant say because they lost it was because they didnt. The BEST never use that as an excuse. If i would say the best i have seen so far it would be SSP. On paper it would be Stillwater, but they didnt beat SSP so like i said, it all means nothing.

hibbing 3 cloquet 4 very good game credit goes to hibbings goalie collier as she is a freshman and can you believe it there was only one penalty in the whole game

<blockquote>Quote:<hr>If i would say the best i have seen so far it would be SSP. On paper it would be Stillwater, but they didnt beat SSP so like i said, it all means nothing.<hr></blockquote> I dunno...I attended the SSP / Stillwater game as well and came away thinking Stillwater was the better team but made a couple mistakes (all it takes against SSP, a team that goes all out all the time & never quits...and will almost always take advantage of their opponents lapses) and quit skating after the 2nd period. Maybe an excuse but also maybe factual or reality. I'm not on the team so it's merely an observation rather than an excuse. I'd call it close but give an edge to EP on paper, which is of course is conjecture but all we can do without the two teams actually meeting on the ice...like all comments herein regarding teams that haven't played one another. If I were asked to make a prediction on the outcome in a SSP vs. EP game I'd prolly go with EP...just because when I saw them, SSP looked far more vulnerable than at any time over the last several seasons. Geeez...over an hour later...I can't believe I haven't been beaten up over this post yet. <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/eek.gif ALT=":eek"> Edited by: <A HREF=http://p100.ezboard.com/bmnhs.showUserP ... ookyone</A> at: 12/7/05 5:51 pm

First a disclaimer. I am an EP parent. 411 hockey, obviously it's your right to like or dislike any team you want, but the following is not hype. EP is very deep, aggressive, fast, skilled, works hard, plays good defense, and has had very good goal tending. All things, I think, that make for a good hockey team. Like how they did it or not, they found a way to win the close game you referred to. Maybe that points to an intangible people say has been lacking in the past. Who knows. Several of the teams they've beaten -- Bemidji, Elk River, Eagan, Burnsville, and Wayzata -- are not chopped liver and certainly consider themselves decent teams. EP has greatly out shot every team they've played, including Wayzata, has held a territorial advantage in every game and has allowed very little offense by their opponents. That's a tough combination to beat and is not opinion -- it is borne out statistically. Will EP beat SSP, SW, AHA, RV, BSM, etc.? I don't know -- no one will know until they meet on the ice. What I do know is that they will have as good a chance against those teams as any one. Like many teams this time of year, EP has not played it's best game yet. There are some skilled players who are just beginning to feel their way offensively and if they start producing... Finally, all good teams need to keep their heads screwed on straight. If EP does, and continues to work hard, they will be as tough as any team out there.

brookyone, looking vulnerable and actually being vulnerable are two different things. you saw ssp play stillwater and the ssp vulnerability led to two stillwater goals. i don't know about you but i would think any team in state would take that kind of vulnerability... how can a supposedly deeper and more talented team get blown out in the third period by a team with less talent and depth? one would think the team with the depth would have a great advantage in the third period, but the opposite happened... ssp certainly isn't as good as they have been in past years since much skill and depth has left the program, but one thing that hasn't left is a confidence and belief that they can and will beat anyone they play. that belief is really the only reason stillwater couldn't pull out a win against them, and it will be the only thing that carries ssp to victories in this remaining year. as far as ep matching up with them i would take ssp to somehow beat them. sure ssp would be a step or two slower, wouldn't have the depth and talent but they have enough and they know it. as in the past i think ep will get extremely cocky if they continue to win and this will be its downfall, themselves.... the best thing that could happen to ep is if they lost a couple games soon to show them they can be beat...

hockeyhead · Post by **hockeyhead** » Thu Dec 08, 2005 9:28 am

Hubba, Are we talking about the same "Cocky" that SSP was after winning 86 games and thinking they couldn't be beat, but lost to a less talented EP team and Anoka team in the 2004 state tourney? If this is what you're talking about, I understand. Being cocky was the downfall of the SSP team in 2004. With this defeat they learned their lesson. You're right, maybe EP needs to lose a game to find their "A" game. I think this is what is happening with both Roseville and Wayzata.... Early loses will allow them to find their "A" game. In conclusion... SSP isn't and wasn't unfamiliar with the "Too Cocky phase! It is probably the reason they didn't win 100 plus games. The great thing about hockey is the best team doesn't always win! The best prepared in combination with talented team usually wins. Good luck to all teams, and may the best prepared/talented team prevail. SSP vs. Wayzata should be a barn burner tonight! Those that can get there should get there to watch a great game of hockey! SSP has always had problems stopping #10 of Wayzata. My prediction... A 1 goal game either way! Agree... People lets start talking about other teams... What about Roseville? They seem to be on a roll now! How about Cloquet.... Nobody expected them to reload as well as they have!?! Hockeyhead

hubbaa · Post by **hubbaa** » Thu Dec 08, 2005 9:45 am

head, ssp did get cocky in '04 i certainly agree. after winning how many games in a row and these kids being so young it would have been hard not to be. the thing i find amazing is ep far exceeded ssp in its attitude with accomplishing almost nothing. i don't know what has happened to wayzata this year. they have a tough schedule and will give anyone a good game. roseville always starts the season a little slow and improves much during the year. looks like lately they have been playing some good hockey. today's game should be very good and you're right ssp has had a ton of problems with #10. what about roseville? i have them as the state champs...

I'm not giving any consideration to what's going on inside players heads or their attitudes and how it effects their games, not addressing that in any way...don't know the players and I wouldn't go there even if I did.

brookyone, playing poorly is acceptable, not working hard in a tight game in the third period isn't. i would think and hope stillwater learned something from this game. they are an excellent team that just needs a little more and if they ever get it they easily can win state.

Such a loss can ultimately be the best thing to happen to a team in that regard.

hubbaa · Post by **hubbaa** » Thu Dec 08, 2005 10:58 am

i think within a couple weeks we will know if the loss was used to stillwater's advantage. i'm sure they have some very tough opponents in this time and i would bet they perform a bit better under similar circumstances... if they don't i would be very concerned.

brookyone · Post by **brookyone** » Thu Dec 08, 2005 11:32 am

No question, the impending schedule is challenging enough to show us the answer to that. On the horizon it's Hibbing, WBL, CDH, Roseville. I haven't been paying enough attention to CDH yet this season as to results etc. but figure they're definitely gonna be a player in the Sub. East title chase... among the usual suspects.

hubbaa · Post by **hubbaa** » Thu Dec 08, 2005 12:54 pm

tough conference. wbl is vastly improved and cdh seems to be getting better with each passing game. hibbing is always tough and i think roseville is the team this year. it is a great schedule for them though because in the region they will only have one soft game and the rest will be against good competition. these games should get them well prepared for it.
