Running Time versus Moorhead is more than a little concerning, but they are playing much better now. Time will tell. Have the warriors play a team within 50 miles of the cities and then we'll see if they can contend. There record is a direct result of not playing ONE metro team. The few losses they ...

The fans there know that there is not much hope. They have been great when they were winning. One would have thought that it would have created more enthusiasm in LF. But, it really didn't even drive up their youth numbers at all. It is too bad that it has not stuck more with the people there. Litt...

Re: Little Falls In 09-10 Season.

Alex and Sartell will be the favorites next year. LF will be down, they will be young and inexperienced but after a year or two should be right back in the hunt for a section title. I will agree with that except for the Alex part. Do you think that Sartell has no challengers or that someone else be...

Now I get it. Recruiting is really only a problem if the privates all move to AA. Then good AA programs like East would have even a smaller chance of ever winning state. I have no problem with open enrollment and kids playing where they want to, just put them up with the big boys..... :roll: Very w...

I know this may have been said ages ago, but someone needs to break up this little cat fight going on here :lol: . Anyway, people who use Breck's enrollment as a reason for them being "equal" with other class A teams is ignorant. Do you honestly think that people don't go to Breck to play...

Sartell and Alex will battle for the section title next year. Sartell returns almost their entire team which was pretty good. Don't underestimate Alex and coach scott woods. Alex will be tough, & if they get good goalie play may knock sartell off. I think LF has little chance to repeat. They hav...

SCC2009 Could not agree with you more. Ben looked good, not great. Not impressed with the rest of the team. They hit way to many pipes, didn't finish every check, and did not hustle the whole game (especially when they were up 6-0). Disgusting. I was also upset that even though their 3rd & 4th l...

It's funny how LF is getting ripped for their performance in section play while Virginia is not. Oh, that's right, they are the "Hot" team. So let's look at how Virginia did in their section play. First game with Silver Bay/CC (9-14-2) 5-0. Wow, Impressive. Was this is a team they beat 12-...

Pretty strong statement, I assume you've watched both teams play this year?

Of course they have a chance, unless they don't get out before the storm hits!

PuckRanger - Great points. I think I might be wrong on the point I made about LF's 1st and 2nd lines seeing just as much if not more ice time as their first meeting. I assume (and hope) that 18 - 20 penalites are not called in this game. LF's 3rd line does not PK and is seldom out on PP. Unless the ...

PuckRanger Very good take on Virginia/LF game. I have not seen Virginia play, and it sounds as if they are a very tough out. But I am curious to know if you have seen Alex or SCC play this year, because you could describe both of those teams almost the same as you did Virginia (except for maybe the ...
