Grand Rapid at Forest Lake
Both teams dominated in opening night victories. Rapids was without Jake and Jonah Bischoff as well as elite league defensemen David Horsmann. Hunter Shepard lived up to the hype as an elite goalie with a shutout. Grand Rapids will go into Forest Lake with revenge on their minds. The Rangers lost their two best forwards to graduation and are unranked but might be better than most people anticipate.
I got Rapids 3-0 in this one. Peterson-Holum-Mann are too much for FL to handle upfront and Hunter gets another shutout. If Jake Bischoff plays make it 5-0.

Nope. I heard OG has a year of eligibility left.TheHockeyDJ wrote:Both teams dominated in opening night victories.

Flakes by 42.
Sorry, fresh out, Don't Really Give Any.
A co-workers son plays in the STMA assoc. he said FL had one line that scored their goals and controlled the play. he said defensively they had troubles, not great with the puck and they were out of position to many times. a faster skating club like Grand Rapids could expose that. Also heard FL #1 goalie last year that beat them in section game went to play JR's? I think Rapids 5 - 2.

Forest Lake had a little trouble moving thepuck in the D zone. I think that they better on Friday. The goalie that played against GR last year in sections got kicked off the team for a drug problem amd is now playing for the Maple Grove Energy. I think this game will be a goaltending battle. It will be a close game like it was in the section game

According to grhshockey.com preview it isn't known yet if Jake Bischoff or David Horsmann will play. I didn't see any word on Jonah Bischoff either. I was surprised at how consistent their pressure was on Bemidji with those 3 out and a lot of first time varsity players in. Hunter Shepard didn't see a lot of shots, but made a couple outstanding saves on point blank opportunities to get the shutout.

Are you saying this because of his age or ability?northwoods oldtimer wrote:The youngest Bischoff should be playing Bantams with his buddies where he belongs.TheHockeyDJ wrote:Looks like 7aa will be deeper than we thought. Nice win for FL. GR needs the Bischoff brothers back soon. Would be nice for Rapids to finally play FL with a fully healthy roster.

Is this loss going to knock Rapids down to the 4th or 5th seed?
Or, maybe they just aren't as good as you thought. I believe this makes three 7AA teams (Cloquet, Andover, and your Rapids) that have already lost.TheHockeyDJ wrote:Looks like 7aa will be deeper than we thought. Nice win for FL.

Kind of a big deal for a team to be without a future Gopher and NHL draft pick and his younger brother that is a skilled 2nd line forward. Take Zerban and Jaremko away from Elk River and you think that isn't going to be a huge impact on them?BodyShots wrote:Or, maybe they just aren't as good as you thought.

Plenty of season for Grand Rapids to make this blemish fade into the background. Especially if they get the Bischoffs back and start rattling of a bunch of big wins.MNhockey29 wrote:Great game, the intensity was great. Forest Lake controlled the play for about half the game.
