Roseau at Moorhead, Tues. Dec. 11, 2012
The two frontrunners in 8AA collide for the first of two (perhaps three) meetings this season. The Spuds are two-time defending champs and return some good firepower, but the Rams are probably a bit more balanced and have some great top-end players, though they are a bit thin. Who wins?

Roseau by periods
So far this season, Roseau has outscored their opponent in the first and second periods, but have been outscored in the third. Hopefully they can turn around that trend in this game.

They both moved the puck well, forchecked well & made good transitions. The only "flaw" I saw was that, at times in their own zone, the Taters let too many Sheep gather in the slot down low. Otherwise, I watched a well-played game between two hard-working, evenly matched teams. Best one I've seen in a while & it could have gone either way.

Saw Roseau play Rapids and Hibbing last weekend. Not impressed with the Rams at this point in the season, especially against a Bluejackets team missing a boatload of players. If Adam Johnson's shot, which he roofed off the back of the crossbar, deflects in instead of out, that game is tied 2-2 midway thru the 2nd. To their credit, they did shut out the Jackets on two, abbreviated 5 on 3s, though the game was slow and ugly due to penalty after penalty after . . .
Johnson played most of that game at defense and he looked as if he was saving himself. He made a couple nice rushes towards the end of the game, though.

FYI: It's physically impossible for a puck that deflects off the "back of the crossbar" to deflect "out". It's already in the net and accross the goal line at that time.
I can't argue with you, Spud. I'm just relaying to you what I saw. But if the ref and the goal judge don't see it that way, it ain't gonna be called a goal. And if the whole puck is not over the line, it also ain't a goal.SPUDNUT wrote:mnmouth wrote:Saw Roseau play Rapids and Hibbing last weekend.
