Section 7AA: Andover vs Duluth East
Who will take this one home?
Re: Section 7AA: Andover vs Duluth East
I want Dulut East 218 puck to represent the 218 north at state out of section 7AA. That’s only right to have the “boys from the north” represented by “boys from the north”! I don’t care by how much or the score....just do your job boys and let’s get this thing to the X !

I agree, just cheering for the Andover coach a bit.GettinHiggyWithIt wrote:for the sake of an entertaining state tournement, we need Edina STA Minnetonka and DE in there. That would be the best tourney for the fans.elliott70 wrote:Would love to see Andover but DEast by 5.

Single A almost got it.
Tourney has their Cinderella in STMA. We in NE MN need East as the rep, though personally I also am supporting the Andover coach.elliott70 wrote:I agree, just cheering for the Andover coach a bit.GettinHiggyWithIt wrote:for the sake of an entertaining state tournement, we need Edina STA Minnetonka and DE in there.

They definitely have a chance. Were it not for Lukan Hanson coming up big on several occasions that game in December would likely have been closer than 9-3.O-townClown wrote:Andover must have a chance. Duluth East dropped one to Eden Prairie and couldn't tidy things up twice against Cloquet-Esko-Carlton. Always interesting to see what happens!elliott70 wrote:Would love to see Andover but DEast by 5.

Agreed. East and Andover will be clearly 1 and 2.hockey59 wrote:While I see Andover as a long shot to win tonight...I wouldn’t at all be surprised...seeing Andover as the #1 seed in 7AA when sections roll around in 2018-2019.duluth dave wrote:You are right Kniven its a northern section and should be represented by a northern team.

Certainly not mine. I grew up in the Northland, and would like to see them send at least one team to State every year.Schotzy wrote:That is the goal.....right?MNHockeyFan wrote:With STMA already knocking off Moorhead, and IF Andover could do the same to DE (not likely, but IF) would this be the first ever AA Tournament without ANY Northern representation?

Not sure how anyone can credibly say that anyone's "goal" (who? the high school league?) is to have an all metro tournament. There are just four truly northern teams in section seven and four in section eight. Obviously, they could guarantee a northern team at state if they combined them, but I doubt anyone from the north would prefer losing a section. So as it stands, you need to add teams on the far fringes of the metro to sections seven and eight. As long as they are weak, I hear no complaints. But the addition of a single merely decent team like Andover or Elk River results in fears of metro conspiracy. If the teams are the best, they should win regardless. If they don't, it's not because the MSHSL dressed up the Boston Bruins in Andover uniforms as a conspiracy to keep deserving northern schools from competing. I doubt in the extremely unlikely event that Duluth East loses tonight that Mike Randolph will blame anyone other than himself and his team's play. But maybe I'm wrong. Maybe he'll say that no school could get through a gauntlet that goes through the likes of Andover or Elk River. Then again, maybe not.
Pretty sure he was making a joke Richie.Rich Clarke wrote:Not sure how anyone can credibly say that anyone's "goal" (who? the high school league?) is to have an all metro tournament.
