Chicago Showcase
Capt Mudshark: Thanks for the reports on the Chicago Showcase. It sounds like the boys are playing very well so far. Many people on this board thought this was gonna be a weak team. Glad to see them representing MN so well. Any scores from this weekend's action? <p></p><i></i>
Team Minnesota Loses 3-1 To Wisconsin In Finale
Just a quick note that Team Minnesota lost 3-1 on an empty netter to Team Wisconsin Red. Sounds like the MN boys played well throughout the week. Congrat's on a great tournament Team MN. Thanks for all the memories this past year. <p></p><i></i>
Re: Team Minnesota Loses 3-1 To Wisconsin In Finale
Good work fellas. You guys represented the state of hockey well. <br><br>I just hope Wisconsin doesn't get too uppity. After all, a lot of our guys are still playing, because they're already in the USHL. <p></p><i></i>

Re: Team Minnesota Loses 3-1 To Wisconsin In Finale
Team Minnesota was fun to watch when they had it going. They put on an exhibition against Colorado in the quarterfinals and in the first period against California.<br><br>Wisconsin did a good job of limiting second chance opportunities and their goaltender (from Hudson) played very well.<br><br>Does anyone here have a list of the players that played high school hockey THIS YEAR that have played/are playing in the USHL this spring?<br><br>In the past, there have been a dozen or so players with D1 commitments who could not play in Chicago and I am wondering if it is about the same number that are now playing after the high school season in the USHL (now that college teams seem to be passing on taking any players straight from high school hockey).<br><br> <p></p><i>Edited by: <A HREF=http://pub33.ezboard.com/bmnhs.showUser ... wker>Mitch Hawker</A> at: 4/21/03 11:09:10 am<br></i>
Re: Team Minnesota Loses 3-1 To Wisconsin In Finale
It is a credit to the Minnesota player that a team that many felt was not as strong as it could be did so well. I am sure we could do better but I really get tired of the constant birage of how we arent developing players and we should do this and that and how Minnesota is behind everybody else. Maybe the NCAA championship and successes like this will cause some to chill out for a short time anyway. <p></p><i></i>

Six first place finishes and one second in the last seven Chicago Showcase events is not too bad a performance for the boys from Minnesota. <p></p><i></i>

Re: Troy
Yes, Kaufman and Budish were there. Click on the team name in the scores page to get all the stats for the team.<br><br>Kaufman took a game misconduct and missed one game (semifinals?).<br><br>Davenport was named MVP. Awards were given on Saturday and he played well, but it still seemed a strange choice to me.<br><br>Interesting Factoids:<br><br>Minnesota had averaged almost 9 goals scored in the prior six championship games with an average margin of victory of 6 goals. Closest of those six was an 8-6 victory over Michigan in 2001.<br> <p></p><i></i>
Re: Troy
Several of the Minnesota games were closer than in year's past. I don't think you have to look much farther than the fact that literally an entire team's worth of kids went directly to play in the USHL after the season. I know that things like that have happened in the past, but never can I recall it happening on such a large scale. Plus, other than those 14 guys listed above, you've still got guys like Dey, Garrity, Anderson, Van Bockel, Becker, etc. who have commitments already, so they couldn't go either. Furthermore, there were about 30 some guys playing in various junior leagues during the season who would have been eligible to play as well (like Howe, Hartman, Fallon, Zacharias, Beaverson, Madsen, Pohl, etc). <br><br>Having literally some 50 guys at the top end of the talent pool who were not eligible to play did not help the team in any way whatsoever, I'm sure. The fact that the talent pool in the state is so good that the boys STILL got to the championship game in pretty convincing fashion says a lot about the state of HS hockey in general. <p></p><i></i>
