Based on the way the bears have been playing this season, I sure would not assume they will be in the section finals... Just way to inconsistant to predict that! I know that in the past few years, not sure how many, that Ben Butters was coaching the D. I heard he is now coaching the JV and Nitti mov...

Wow, a lot of different ways to take this thread, though Im going to disagree with the last post. I think taking a group of JV kids, and winning the schwans cup two years ago, and then many of those same kids not performing now as seniors says a lot about this program. Sam Swanson, Chad Lowell, Mike...

First of all I would agree that the post was right on..... but lets take a look at what causes people to lose focus! FANTATICS=fans...... and as we all know fanatical people dont logically think all the time. Matter of fact these are fanatics that want to make excuses for kids, or are are fanatics w...

Nitti, Mounds View And Sager with WBL... all on the bench, all in the rinks with them at practice day in and day out.... Please tell me that these three guys, with their experi...

What the heck is up with this team... my god! If they make it through the first round of sections they will be lucky..... Perhaps those three "varsity" coaches should take a look in the mirror and try to see what the problem is!

"FAIR" I love that word... what is fair, what isnt? The fact is that a coach made each kid sign a letter of commitment and integrity. If the players choose to take it lightly, and the staff chooses to uphold these kids to the highest standard so be it. I think lets not forget that these ki...

"should of, would of, and a dollar fify you can go get a cup of coffee..."

in other words you can talk about shots on net, close games, that they dominate etc.... none of it matters unless the bears start winning some close games... oh wait, they squeeked by mounds view!

I dont particularly get into silly banter, but when one talks about all the conference titles Hill has won... lets be real.... look who is in that conference... Im not taking away from what they have... but dont try to grind in the conference title thing... its really not relavent. Secondly... It is...

Bears

I would have to say the Bears lead the pack. Whats more frustrating than being bad. Being inconsistantly bad. Look like world beaters one night and then the next nigth they look like they can be beat by any team in the world. From lack of upperclass leadership to poor goaltending this team has seen ...

I think Hill will be in the section finals with WBL... and If I was Hill I would not take the bears for granted. I was really impressed with the last two games they played. Should be a fun finish!

Personally I dont care if those kids scored goals or not. A shootout should be reserved for your snipers.... and if the case is that the two sophomores, and the senior are it, then I will accept that!

This game was really all WBL. The score really did not reflect the how well the Bears played. They outshot, out hustled, and out worked the Stars, but again defensive breakdowns really hurt the bears. I thought they played MUCH better than they did agains HILL last week. Im not much on ripping on ki...

I attended the Hill game. I felt a few mins before the 5 min major, that WBL was starting to slow. Hill was stretching the ice, and WBL's D was NO match for that! Its the first I have seen them play this year and found their D to be bery average at best. #26 Hoffman completely UNIMPRESSED me, took a...

In the WBL press "season preview" Coach Sager said that his upper classmen would be the differnece with this seasons team. Let me just say as I watched the game with the program in hand, that the upper classmand were a huge dissapointment. Two sophs basically outplayed the enitire uppercla...

I find it rather interesting how peolple from Minnesota rip on a Fargo team, and lost, then make excuses why they lost.... I dont care if the bears outshot them by 100 shots... they still lost... Anyone recall their state playoff game against duluth east a few years back..... Yep bears lost and outs...

Ok, am I missing something here or what? They go to Fargo, start out slow, and end up getting beat. Then they cross the river, and basically decide to play the last 7 mins of the game, and at least try to make it close before the spuds pop in a couple goals? Im no profit, but what I said earlier sur...

Typical Twin Cities Attitude... "sweep" thats all I heard this week... I said if they got a split on the road they would be lucky..... I will be curious to see what happens tomorrow! Blame the officials, the play or the "Trying not to hit the net" (might be the best thing I heard...

My guess....

How about against South on Friday first.... if they split on this trip I think it would be a good weekend. My guess is they beat South, and Lose to the spuds!

Typical Bears Team

This will be a typical bears team. They will look great one game, and the next fans will wonder what team showed up! I think they have potential, yet the team will find a way to blow the games they should win! I hope Im wrong! With three coaches which were all "head coaches" Long-Stillwate...
