Re: 2025 State Tournament Official Seeds

Was cheering for Edina but HM was the better team. Also good to see Dodge come through. It's always fun when a new school gets in because they bring the noise and excitment. Just watched the full game replay. Was a much more interesting game then I thought at the time. Going in, Edina had won 6-3 a...

I'd be in favor of Shakopee replacing PL on our schedule, too.
That was last year. Shakopee graduated everyone and PL should be improved. We'll see though.

2025-2026 Schedules

Hill-Murray (Interestingly it looks like Hill and Edina are forgoing a Christmas tournament this year and playing their back to back right after Christmas). First time Hill and Duluth East have done a regular season game in at least 15 years. They used to play every year when Lee and I were young. N...

Re: AA Title Game- #1 Moorhead vs #2 Stillwater

Congrats to Moorhead, and all the teams that didn't quite make it for them. Not a pretty game, not going to be studied in text books, but they scored just enough to win. Much like the regular season game where HM beat Stillwater, it was a flurry of first period goals that were the difference. After ...

If Stillwater scores early 3rd- strap in for a wild one.
Moorhead doesn't want to win easily. Could get interesting.

Re: AA Title Game- #1 Moorhead vs #2 Stillwater

I'm taking the Spuds about 5-2. Stillwater has looked the part, but neither Shakopee nor STA could hurt them offensively. Moorhead can and will. It’s early but I have to give a huge nod to Spar. Well done sir. 😎 Moorhead was the best team I saw all year (and that was with my green glasses on). Sure...

Re: AA Title Game- #1 Moorhead vs #2 Stillwater

Well I did predict it...

Glad to see other teams can crap the bed too. Good for Moorhead, this is 30 years in the coming.

I think Stillwater got unlucky with Andover and STA who couldn't challenge them. They came into this game thinking they were really something. They are learning differently.

Re: AA SF Game- #2 Stillwater vs #3 St. Thomas Academy

I've read on here that Conway still drives to Stillwater from Andover every day. Wouldn't surprise me. But whatever. STA has nothing to complain about. My team lost, you don't hear us whining. Could have gone either way, but went their way. Keep in mind here, Lutz record in sight. 2 Shutouts so far...

Happy for the Spuds. Brand new champ tomorrow night. I'm pulling for the Spuds, because of their history, but so many best friends from Stillwater. Will be happy either way, but its the Spuds year. Finish it right.

Re: AA SF Game- #2 Stillwater vs #3 St. Thomas Academy

Conway is an amazingly talented goaltender. My only problem is that he shouldn't be playing. He, and/or his parents, cheated and got caught. How he suddenly becomes eligiible for the post-season is one of those mystifying decisions which the MSHSL is famous for. That being said, Stillwater is playi...

Re: AA QF Game- #2 Stillwater vs #7 Andover

I always say the 11 AM game is the most dangerous QF game, especially for a team that isn't used to being there. Stillwater should win by 3+ goals, but look for it to be close and don't be surprised if Andover pulls it out.

How exactly can the brackets be revealed today when there are two AA games left to go tonight? https://www.mnhockeyhub.com/news_article/show/1332848 The headline says "On Saturday," so I'm assuming that's what they mean. That's what happens when I don't have a second cup of coffee.

Re: History Made at the 2025 Tourney

Rosemount played great. Centennial seemed to be gripping their sticks and just couldn't quite score even though they had the better of the play. Somehow my HM team beat Andover, which I didn't see coming. HM beat Rosemount 6-0 earlier this year, but I bet you its far closer tomorrow night...
