AA Rankings for 12/23/12

I think the rankings look very good. Once you get past the top few teams, I'm sure its quite difficult to rank. And of course it seems to change weekly. Always look forward to these; thanks for taking the time to do them.

I do think these holiday tournaments will go a long way in determining the cream of the crop. A lot of tough games and teams that are looking to cement their place will have to win several games against great competition over a few-day stretch.

It doesn't matter that they're not playing anyone "ahead" of them their remaining schedule still dwarfs Eagan's.

Ummm, ok ...

That's been established several times over in this thread. Edina, and some other Lake Conference teams have the States toughest schedules. Nobody is arguing otherwise

Plenty of good hockey this week. Schwann Cup play will answer a lot of questions this week .

Blaine is looking quite weak this tournament, losing to Burnsville 2-0 and losing to Minnetonka 4-0 at the end of the second period. I have not seen them play prior to this week. They must've had the game of their lives against Benilde because I do not see how this team could've beat them.

Blaine played a good game vs BSM. A big factor in that game was that BSM had 6 penalties to Blaine's 1

Well I did notice they played without there top defensemen today this was the worst I had seen them look by far maybe Copa is even better than I thought or if the team just struggled.

I hope you reconsider your rankings for Wayzata next week.

They don't deserve to be ranked 8th.

Maybe your rankings should resemble lets play hockey.

A thumping against Jefferson and up 4 to 1 in the 2nd vs Moorhead.

Go Trojans.....,.

If Wayzata wins tomorrow night, they deserve the #2 spot, possibly even #1 if Hill loses tonight. I don't know how much I agree about having Eagan ahead of Tonka because they handled em pretty good. I may be biased though

Your bias. Eagan outshot the Skippers despite being shortahdned and flu-ridden. If it weren't for the shorthanded scoop by Coata it's a different result. I would still say Tonka deserved to edge Eagan out though, as a win is a win, however, with the Skippers recent struggles, I do think it's time for an adjustment.

Trojans eeked out the win over Moorhead 4-3

Umm...ok

sog after 2 28-8 for Wayzata and a 4-1 lead. They let in 2 goals on 4 shots in the third. Not what I would call a classic eek.
