Blake vs Edina - The real Girls HS Champion
If both Blake and Edina win today, this would make Blake the unanimous girls HS champion regardless of class. They beat Edina 2-1 this year.

If they played one another again I would put my money on Edina. Watching both tourneys all the way through, Edina was the deeper and more talented team, having no weaknesses top to bottom. Of course Blake was an excellent team as well, but until they step up and play with the big girls they cannot lay claim to being this year's overall State Champ. Simply put, to be dominant at AA is more impressive than being dominate at A.wolfman wrote:Blake girls team best in state.
Well, Blake did beat them in the regular season. Though I do agree with everything you said.MNHockeyFan wrote:If they played one another again I would put my money on Edina.

The shots were 24-11 Hornets and all the goals scored in the game were PP... More like Bizal was better than Goldstein that day... You don't know hockey if you think Blake is a deeper, more skilled and complete hockey team. Next year? I'd give the early nod to Blake

Here is a link to a paper that explains how some rating systems are computed and how to use those ratings to statistically test the quality of one team against another.goaline wrote:The shots were 24-11 Hornets and all the goals scored in the game were PP...

Thank goodness they do not play the game in math class, with your statistical bias, it does not matter what happens on the ice head-to-head does it. One question I have for you that is simple, who won when Blake played Edina this year at Edina's home rink?LSQRANK wrote:Here is a link to a paper that explains how some rating systems are computed and how to use those ratings to statistically test the quality of one team against another.goaline wrote:The shots were 24-11 Hornets and all the goals scored in the game were PP...

And you actually received credit for this paper, wow what they teach in school these days.
Ha! I would be very interested in your reasoning for bashing his analysis other than "I don't like the result". My money is on the fact that you couldn't follow a single thing going on in the paper and just skimmed to the results, which you did not like.thegreatone99 wrote:Thank goodness they do not play the game in math class, with your statistical bias, it does not matter what happens on the ice head-to-head does it.

Head to head results do matter. They just don't matter any more than a victory against a another team of equal quality. Victories against good teams mean more than victories against weak teams. Statistically it doesn't matter who you play, just how good they are.thegreatone99 wrote:[Thank goodness they do not play the game in math class, with your statistical bias, it does not matter what happens on the ice head-to-head does it.

I'm happy Blake opted up. They are good enough to play in the AA tournament. I hope not making it through sections doesn't hurt their hockey program.
