What if we limited the voting to folks who attended everyone of the games. Or we could just ask Elliot straight up...

There is a recency bias in the voting, which is too bad...

We're any of the choices Class A? There haven been some good Class A finals...

SOME WERE THERE. Statistically, it is likely that no one at that game is still alive. The factors at play are that total tournament attendance was not even 9K, so maybe 2K for the final. Most attendees in 1945 would have been male, and men have shorter life expectancy. Few MN males survive to age 9...

What a comeback for the Spuds. In my long high school memory, this is the biggest comeback in championship history. Before it was HM beating DE in 1991 twice having a two goal deficit. Spuds... Love it!

I gave up at 4-1 and turned it off. Back now. Thanks to my son who texted and said turn it on!

To be fair, I'd be fine if Moorhead put Tonka on running time. But that's just me.

A great game. I was pulling for the other squad, but it didn't happen. Congrats to both teams.

What a game. Both teams playing their hearts out. When does Warroad get too tired as Hibbing is deeper?

I keep watching Hibbing dominate and Warroad score. So crazy.

They do. They sell it through NSPN.tv

Just check this link in a few weeks. They sell you a digital copy.

Reminds of me sitting in the student section in high school. The players looked like ants...

That said, we can still all be happy with HD tv which was made for hockey. Going back and watching video from the 80's is awful...

As a Greenway grad, it was fun to watch the references and screenshot of the bracket to the 1992 tournament. At that time, I happened to be living in an area called Valley Park, which is a sort of subdivision of Rosemount and went to the championship game at Target Center. Rosemount got hot at just...

Had only the board called out Edina's cheap play halfway through the season. Oh wait, you did!

Total lack of class. I get the frustration of losing, but that's really not good to see.

To be honest, Edina is really looking forward to playing Tonka in the 3rd place game. Must see tv!

Curious: How many Tonka players did NOT play youth hockey for Tonka? Same question for Rosemount, to be fair. Since they said during the broadcast the Rosemount theme was something like "Home Grown", I imagine most of them were local. Its a Lake Conference tradition to look across the cou...

Not a good goal to give up there. Backhand from the bottom of the circle. Wow.


High score is good for Tonka, not Rosemount. Need to hunker down and play defensively.

I posted a preview of the state tourney talking about how I expected Rosemount to put Tonka on running time, but that post got a weird db error and never got saved.


3-1. Crazy. Good for those kids.

And btw, thank you for your team beating Gentry today. I was sorry to see the hockey factory go 0-2 but it happens.

Great start for Rosemount. I thought there was a possible hand pass at the net on that goal. Probably not, it wasn’t mentioned. Anyone else notice that? It didn't matter, because the Tonka goalie touched the puck. That was my recollection. Tonka touches, it goes back to the crease and then kid from...

Heart says Hibbing. Head says Warroad. Lee Head says Warroad, heart says Warroad. Growing up Hibbing was the enemy. I doubt I'll watch with no cities teams in it. Just kidding. I'm pulling hard for Hibbing, because I'm still pissed about Warroad beating Hill in the '87 tourney. Never liked them sin...

Never doubted Rosemount. You can go back earlier in the year where I said they were my pick to win it all. A strong favorite over STA... That said, they played a great first period. I already sense a little frustration in Tonka. Tonka is deeper, which may pay off late, but Rosemount is giving them e...

Karl is right. Gentry loses 2 skaters off this team going into next year. I assume they'll be the favorite in 4AA once again. Curious to see how they show up today against the Skippers.

Go Woodbury. Lot of HM names on those teams.

I saw Gentry beat East Ridge on Saturday night. Gentry doesn't have a lot a size but can skate and have several high-end skill guys. White Bear better pack their lunch Friday. Hill not going to state for 3rd straight year. Trouble in Paradise? Not really. Every team goes through down seasons. Last ...
