They will probably only have to run them for a period then. Brucie should just bring the JV down for Wednesday's game.Jeffy95 wrote:Chicken Hawks - 11
Cards - 0
Prediction:
Brucie will run two lines during running time until each of the forwards on the top line polish off their Hat Tricks. He's ready to make a statement this year!

You also picked LDC to hang a Touchdown on Luverne in the Section game, of which they didn't even make. Let's just let them play the game and see what happens.InigoMontoya wrote:3A came in under the radar last year and kept up with Hermantown pretty well until they ran out of gas (and Hermantown stepped on it) with about 5 left in the 2nd. 3A is all over the radar this year; I don't think Hermantown will get surprised. This game will be over early. Hermantown kids will be trying to keep pace with Delano point scorers to make the all-tourney team. Unless the loser of the #4-#5 game loses interest in the consolation bracket, the Cards could give up a couple dozen goals in a couple days.GoldyGopher wrote:I'm thinking the most you're referring to are all from Luverne.

Do you think Luverne can come back from 17 down in 2nd period?fastncrash wrote:EVERYONE knew Atlanta was going to win the Superbowl at halftime.elliott70 wrote:We know Hermantown is going to win.

Don't they play in a rink?
Moral of the story don't bet against Tom Brady; don't bet against Bruce Plante until the final game>

You think hermantown is more liked than Luverne? You think Luverne keeps this close at the end the whole state won't be pulling for the upset? C'mon man.

I'm referring to people in southern MN who get the "privilege" of dealing with the Luverne hockey program.notTONIGHT wrote:GoldyGopher wrote:I'm thinking the most you're referring to are all from Luverne.

Generally speaking those in southern Minnesota who deal with the Luverne hockey program share a common feeling with those that try and compete with Hermantown.GoldyGopher wrote:I'm referring to people in southern MN who get the "privilege" of dealing with the Luverne hockey program.notTONIGHT wrote:GoldyGopher wrote: I'm thinking the most you're referring to are all from Luverne.

Yeah, totally. All 2 trips to state have Luverne on another level than the rest of the southern MN teams.....................................notTONIGHT wrote:Generally speaking those in southern Minnesota who deal with the Luverne hockey program share a common feeling with those that try and compete with Hermantown.GoldyGopher wrote:I'm referring to people in southern MN who get the "privilege" of dealing with the Luverne hockey program.notTONIGHT wrote:

How about congratulations to Luverne for getting back to the X and being the only 3A team (that I remember) that has had any success there. That game a couple years ago vs Htown was not close because Hermantown was surprised. It was close because Luverne had some good players that worked as a team and a very good powerplay. Hopefully it will be that way again. No one likes a blowout at state. I don't expect them to win, but you must play it out to see.

Success isn't measured in terms of how close the game is. It's measured in wins and losses. That's piss poor logic you're using. Note that Hermantown lost by 4 goals to EGF that same year. If you want to use logic like that then you can congratulate New Ulm from 14-15 who lost to Mahtomedi in Rd 1 by the same 6-3 score.hawkenjonny wrote:How about congratulations to Luverne for getting back to the X and being the only 3A team (that I remember) that has had any success there.

Yes, hats off to the cards, a true small town, successful program. But that team a couple years ago had a lot more talent and great goaltending. No, nobody likes a blowout at State. But that's most likely what you're going to get playing a Quasi-Private Metro team with free tuition.hawkenjonny wrote:How about congratulations to Luverne for getting back to the X and being the only 3A team (that I remember) that has had any success there.

Fill us in? The sun will come up again on Thursday right?I aint no Bender wrote:Hermantown 9 to possibly 12
Luverne O to possibly 1
Whatever happens its not going to be close. Its the facts people. SWMN hockey still has a ways to go to catch up to the rest, but in the so distant future.....5.....6 years??? Lookout there is promise on the horizon. Trust me.

My point, "faulty logic" aside, was that the game was not a blowout and the cardinals won a game and lost the third in OT at that state tournament which no other team from 3A has ever done. The growth of that program is something to smile about if you care about MN high school hockey. No argument here regarding the differences between this years team and that one.

Tourney
Luverne is so far out in the (Carbon Fibre) Sticks that the Entire Tourney is going to be on Cable TV here!
