Missing the usual big time goalie and thin after 5 and 11 in back. Very impressed with EGf and assume they will be back next year, looking at
their age. Can't say I feel bad for Plante though...

5 years in a row as the runner up pretty well makes them the perennial runner up in most people's books.SPUDNUT wrote:Didn't they win it in 07 ?northwoods oldtimer wrote:East Grand 3 - Hermantown 1
Plante can whine about losing once again. Hermantown is perennial runner ups.
Open mouth, change feet !
I wonder if some of those talented 11th graders are going to see the writing on the wall and leave for greener pastures next year rather than spend the year blowing up cupcakes and then losing when/if they get to the big dance.
EGF should be AA, but i thought that before this season. And I don't hate em for it. Congratulations boysNorthhcky wrote:A big congrats to EGF, you deserve this one!!!

Calls for them in aa are uninformed.
After next year, their cycle will be over.

I can't stand egf
Nah...he dressed most games this year...don't think he played. Didn't dress at the tournament. I think it was simply a reward for sticking with it...even though Lieberg and Weber were the clearly the top two goalies. Actually, I think there were two other senior goalies who didn't even try out because of goalie depth, but Gaasvig stuck it out.puckbreath wrote:Kid not on the varsity/dressed ?Deathblow wrote:Classy move by Oliver...gave his medal to 3rd string, senior goalie.
On a side note, I don't think Weber made an 'A' team until second year of Bantams...really worked hard to get where he is.

i think what this year in class A and in prior years also shows is that the top class A teams can easily play with the top class AA in any given year the problem for most class A teams is that there maybe a big gap in years in which they could compete with the big AA teams year in and year out. I would suspect that EGF could have played at least as well as say Stillwater or a few other AA teams this year, which makes the 16 team tourney a compeling alternative, 8 AA, 8 A seed them and see what happens. We have to get rid of this superior AA mentality. The AA tourney is certainly deeper but by no means the best 8 teams A or AA in the state
