Agreed 100%. It is an affront to the hockey gods that teams as good as the Hawks have been the last two years weren't given a shot at AA. An opt up two years ago would have cemented Plante's status as a MN hockey legend. Now to anyone outside of Hermantown he's just a hypocrite who took the easy way out, letting his players and the MN hockey community down in the process.Rocketwrister wrote:Agreed, Hermantown has too much fire power. It's been said a million times; but i'll say it again, sure would of been interesting if they opted up 2 years ago to see what they really could of done.
A sad ending...

Eden Prairie wouldn't beat Hermantown in this game. I don't care what sad stories are coming out of Greenway. I like Greenway, don't get me wrong, but Hermantown hockey is elite.Duluthguy wrote:From this morning's Duluth paper on Greenway:

Clafton had a great game plan. Don't let Hermantown have control of the zone for too long: ice the puck if you have to. They were able to frustrate Hermantown for 1/2 the game. The bad line change at the end of their power play was the killer. You just can't make a mistake against Hermantown. Anick played a heckuva game in goal. I was a little surprised that Plante put out his first unit on the powerplay with about 3 1/2 minutes left in the game. He must have been a little frustrated that the game was not in running time. Great effort by the Raiders and they played until the final horn. Thought that Jacques was the best player on the ice for Hermantown. That kid sure made some great plays.

It was a competitive hockey game for two periods, which is a lot more than I was hoping for. Real credit to Greenway for their effort tonight and their season. Those four senior defensemen and Anick were very strong and did a great job of avoiding mistakes or letting things snowball. This was a special senior class for the Raiders, and they've done a lot of good work for the program. If there were no Hermantown in their way, I think they could've done some serious damage at State.
Hermantown, meanwhile, marches on. Give them credit, when the other team starts to build some momentum or plant some hints that it could be an interesting game, they have an immediate response, always. Jacques had a fantastic night. We'll see if anyone can give them any sort of a game.
