Both of STA's goalies this year are from Edina (Snow and Hallett).green4 wrote:Not much different then it is now. Edina has kids who leave early for ushl, and currently one who would have been a senior in the Whl. They have Mishmash at Shattuck. About 1/3rd the Benilde team is from Edina, including 3 of their 4 captains. Snow, the STA goaltender is from Edina and I'm guessing one or two more for the cadets. Holy Angels best player is from Edina, I would guess there might be one or two at Breck and Blake too.57special wrote:The kids from the Edina program have already started to scatter. One is at Shattuck, a couple of others at privates. By the time they reach Varsity age others will go, too.
So really, it won't be a huge change to what they have now.

Was LN's whole team an "elite" league team??? (the answer is NO)keepyourheadup wrote:SSM was 8-5-2 in the Elite league this year so they clearly aren't unbeatable.
No doubt that there is unbelievable talent in MN HS hockey. Just not all on one team like SSM has this year. If you took the top 18 skaters and two goalies from MN HS hockey and turned them loose...now you might have the best U18 team in the country.

On one side, I agree with you. To support that, The Blades kept it close with only 13 skaters and 1 goalie tonight. Shattuck had 9 or 10 college commitments skating tonight to the Blades 3. With all that said, it was still very good back and forth action all night. Fun game and good high quality hockey. It would've been considered a classic game if it was in front of 21,000 at the X last week.green4 wrote:Shattuck just beat the u18 blades team 3-2 on a last minute goal. If you take a look at the Blades roster you will see it is not exactly a star studded lineup, so I think it is very possible that North could beat them.
However, on the flip side, Shattuck outshot the Blades badly - something like 41-18. Shattuck also probably just missed on 4 or 5 good scoring chances before they scored their first goal. Goalie was making some great saves. There were a couple pipes, and a few scrums where the puck sat briefly in front of a half-open net. Could have easily been 4 to nothing before the Blades got on the board.

To be fair to the blades how much practice time did they have to get ready to play a team that's been together since September? SSM has the same advantage in the fall Elite league, they practice more than all the Elite league teams combined! PP, PK, all their systems honed over 6 months of practice against a talented group thrown together for a tourney. The fact they kept it close is encouraging!

They'd kill SSM with that line-up. Really, LVN just needs a third forward line and a second defensive pair and they'd be the favorite. LVN's second line is quite solid.Froggy Richards wrote:The practice time and how long a team is together is always a huge factor. So, what if we took Lakeville North's top line, Edina's top line and EGF's top line and put them on a team and they played Shattuck? Edquist in Goal. I think we would have ourselves a game!

Does Lakeville North have any new ones coming in for next season or is it to early to say?

How did the weekend go for the Twins? After their HUGE night Saturday, were they healthy scratch's yesterday? LOLSats81 wrote:You need to learn to be a better agitator.

JP with a point in his first USHL game sat night, not bad for him and Nick playing on the 4th line and only practicing 2 days with the team. If you were at the game, go ahead, comment. If you are simply reading a meaningless box score you are only proving what I already thought of you. Healthy Scratches yesterday? Nope, not at all. Came home for the LN STATE CHAMPIONS team banquet to celebrate with their TEAMMATES. (Missed you there) Good try though! You are getting better.Karma 29 wrote:How did the weekend go for the Twins?

Owe I think I touched a nerve. If not, try this... meaningless box score (-2) for both.Sats81 wrote:JP with a point in his first USHL game sat night, not bad for him and Nick playing on the 4th line and only practicing 2 days with the team.

You two need to quit this back-and-forth sniping in this and other topics. Go find another sandbox to fight in.Karma 29 wrote:Owe I think I touched a nerve.
