BSM (2-1) @ AHA (1-1) 12-13-12 7:30pm

Post by HShockeywatcher » Wed Dec 12, 2012 5:45 pm

Very little is known about Holy Angels this year as they recently lost to a good Eden Prairie team by 1 and this pre-season #1 is coming off a recent loss. With the game being played in Richfield, seems like the right conditions for the upset to happen. Should be a great game tomorrow night!

AHA vs. BSM

Post by blueblood » Wed Dec 12, 2012 10:17 pm

BSM too deep for AHA. They might hang in 1st period. Shut down Mork on D and you control the game against AHA. He is the catalyst that gets the puck to Bianchi and Haeg.

BSM - 6
AHA - 2

I'm going to have to say that if the AHA's goalie comes out and plays and BSM's doesn't then it will be a tight game and from what I've seen that's how it will be.

I never say my team will lose, but this will be a tough game. Avenging last years 17 -2 will be the goal tonight. Should be fun any outcome.
Just a note if you are planning on coming: Richfield plays at home tonight also on Rink 2. Parking will be tough. Take advantage of the American Legion and possibly Veterans Park behind the rink. No grass parking this year. Too much snow.

My kid knows some JV players so we're going for that game. I hope we'll be OK with parking getting there that early.

BSM @AHA

Post by mnhckyguy » Thu Dec 13, 2012 11:58 am

Don't get me wrong BSM is a well built team, they have many skilled players such as Besse and Naas. But your over looking the talent of AHA. If AHA shuts down BSM's first and second line, this could be a real surprising game. Where the real battle lies is back on defense, AHA has skilled defense men as well as a very skilled goalie. Many of you may be surprised tonight.

In ANY high school hockey game if you shut down the opponents #1 and #2 lines you will have a chance. It goes without saying. The challenge is doing that.

Two years ago....it was an all out BCHL style shoot out - defensive play for both teams looked similar to what you see in an NHL All Star Game with BSM winning 8-6.

Last year, well, wasn't much of a game.

This year, I see it rolling back to a BCHL style game with BSM having too much firepower.....8-4 BSM.

The biggest problem for BSM opponents this year is that they can check the first line and hold them in line, but their second line has proven to be pretty lethal with all of the defensive attention thrown at the first line and most teams don't have the depth to check two lines.

Its great to see the hockey vibe back at AHA and Hengen has done a great job in short time. If they can stay away from any 5 min penalties BSM should power its way past AHA with little problem.

I think BSM will come out thinking AHA is the say team as last year; a mediocre, far from strong team. I've been to one of AHA's game this year (EP @ AHA) I thought AHA would be out skated and out scored but AHA hung in there and came back. AHA can hang with the big teams.

If BSM tightens up on D it will be fine moving forward. The 3rd line would easily be most schools 2nd line which show further depth.

This will not be a contest. BSM will be coming hard after losing to HM. AHA still has a ways to go. 10-3.

Not a fan of either team in this post - but to say BSM 3rd line would be 2nd line on most teams is funny - as they could barely skate........

That must be why they got paired with HM's first line numerous times. I don't think that was a coaching error.

Didn't see that game so can't comment - did see the BSM / BV game though and while BSM third line did get on the scoreboard - I am sticking to my point that they could barely skate... just my opinion

3-0 Benilde after 1st. Benilde's 3rd line is Zach Hale (elite league) Marke Kaske (US select 15 team) and Evan Fleming (good 2 way player with speed). One of the better 3rd lines in the state. *ctually4th line Chumley Arnason and Meyer or Duda is good line. They need to develope their D and when Hickok can move back to D when Kaske is back will help a ton.

7-0 now towards the end of the 2nd with things getting a little dirty out there. Period belonged entirely to Benilde, Chumley with a great individual powerforward effort and Besse looking fantastic on the PK and also great physical play. Naas just made it 8-0 as I typed this and has been a beast tonight too.

HA is a joke, bunch of cheap shots. They look like s JV team out here. Maybe Benilde varsity should have stayed home and had the JV play HA varsity. With out HA goalie playing great it would be 14-15 to nothing. Haeg Bianchi and Mork are dirty players.

Appreciate the opinion but can't see any merit in it. The 2nd line would be most schools 1st line and the 3rd would easily be most schools 2nd line. This is really the same case for the top 4-5 teams. I get a kick out of the " barely skate comment". Here is my beef. What game are you watching? These guys can edge better than the vast majority of skaters in the state. Wake up! If your opinion meant anything than these guys would be done with hockey vs playing on a top 10 team.
