The better team lost. Just a simple case of kids being kids. Any team can beat any other on any given night, especially with a hot goalie. Upset's have been happening since the beginning of time. 7 out of 10 times STA wins. The Z's don't have near the talent that STA does. The goalie played well for...

Pondhockey-There in lies the problem. No leadership from Welch and his Posse.. Now some would say the whole reason there so bad is they have no talent. I've seen them play.. And with the exception of a couple kids i would agree.. The people in the know down there will tell you, Welch quit caring whe...

Yea, they came out and really "battled" last night didn't they? And on several other occasions this year? Of the 12 games the've played they have lost by 3 or more goals 7 times. Maybe if they got a little coaching at the high school level they may win some games. I'll bet you if you asked...

Don't give Hastings "the team" too much credit in their quset to upset Woodbury earlier. Hastings was outshot like 52-12. The goalie is the only player Hastings has. If it weren't for him they could easily be 0-12. Hastings is the worst coached unskilled team i have seen in many year's. I ...

How about from the U? Was he fired, or did he......Step Down? ;-) "wink-wink" Cause he couldn't bring home the hardware. Of course Step Down sound's alot better than- Fired,Terminated, Canned, Axed..

Point well made Big Al!! Although, wasn't Woog fired??

Great game! The pack is back i must say. I would not want to face this team come playoff time.

I was at the game and just one's man's opinion, but i didn't think Isaccson or Alt played with much intensity. Especially Alt. For as big and strong as he is it didn't look to me like he really wanted to get his nose dirty. He was really a non factor from what i saw. He certainly wasn't any kind of ...

88 you must got mannure for your brains. Here's my prediction. You won't get out of the 3rd grade.

Sorry boys i have to side with coach on this one. You need to look at it from the school's side as well. When they are shelling out 75-100,000 for a free education, you bet they should be able to put pressure on these kids not to play other sports. Pro sports teams don't allow Jet ski's-Downhill Ski...

Wes Bolin by far. "69" your one of the reason's this board gets no respect. Russ Welsh 3rd? come on! Junkie said it right. He was fortunate to be in Sec 4 all the years he went to State. I think he had to get through Humbolt-St.Agnes and St. Paul Monroe WOW! impressive.. Since the late 90'...

I heard Providence may have some interest. I too saw this kid a few times this year. He's got a boatload of talent and a heart to match. Works his tail off. If he's got a weakness, maybe skating but his work ethic makes up for it. If i'm coach Lucia i'm on the phone with this kids dad yesterday. Fro...

C.N.T Guys like you are the reason everything gets watered down. You think your a hockey purist when in reality your just another guy who's jealous and envious of the Hill Murray's STA's D.Marshalls. Correct me if i'm wrong, but STA D.M S.C.C fall into that smaller school category that you refer to,...

Bring em, now!! With the loss of all the talented seniors- Walters and maybe Issacson. They will be just another team next year, in my opinion. But my point is, why wreck the A tourney? I saw a few of the A games at the X last week. There were alot of very good hockey players in the A bracket. It wa...

I say quit your P----n & M---n and let it go! If STA-Marshall-SCC etc. move up, the Class A tourney is junk. What's left? Caledonia and Moose Lake/Sandstone in your championship. The Class A tourney is here to stay why not leave it alone. Otherwise all the goods teams, with all this talent beat ...

For STA to win they must protect their goal. I seen this D group at X-Mas vs. Benilde. Very solid. But i seen them Wed. vs. LF and a couple of these guys were all over the ice. They need to stay home and protect the Soph. goalie. Have the Vanelli's forgot Crandell left?

I would agree with Mr. BO Jangles. Aaron Ness is a very gifted player, but I for one don't think College hockey will any kind of push over for him. He's a fabulous skater, but struggles to contain his man in the corners. He got beat out of the corner at least twice last night that I saw, and this is...

I think Schwan's should take a little of that Corn dog money and use it on some goalie clinics. The Blaine golies were Horrible! If they get even average goaltending this team is in the game.

That's because they have coaching. When you actually have a coaching staff that teaches kids ,they don't leave. We seem to have solved that problem here in Woodbury, but for Hastings-Park-Mound's View, etc. this will continue until they find coach's that teach instead of scream.

O.K Russ whatever you say..

I was at the game. The Hastings coaching staff should be ashamed at how this team quit.. I saw Hastings earlier in the year get lucky against the Royals. Wow! has this team taken a dump the last month.. Last night they looked like a team unwilling to give anything for their coach. This is a very ave...

Pack The trouble with your annalogy is both Trebil and O'neil have something to brag about. Their programs have been to the top. Housley needs to earn the respect first. Until he can show he belongs in that class their's no need to compare.

HOCKEY SCOUT I can appreciate your point of view and I respect that. And Thank You for the life lesson thing. But these coaches, many with Ego's larger than the sheet of ice their playing on, know full well what they are getting into. And many, like Housley coach for a variety of reasons. Yes, some ...

This is the "State of Hockey" correct? Everyone's an expert. I would offer to help him coach, but no Coach want's an assistant that knows more than he does. They all want puppets today.. It is what it is boy's. Phil Housley was a much better player than he is a coach. Micky Mouse could hav...

Not so fast on the "he may have a slight edge on the hockey knowledge" He needs to prove it first.. Being a great player does not mean your a plethra of hockey knowledge. He's been here what, 4 year's now? The best he can do is 5th place? Now he's got the ship heading back the other direct...
