I didn't think Connor looked very good but he still should have made the final 54. You can't afford to not look sharp. I talked to Connor after tryouts and he predicted that he wouldn’t make it. When I asked why, he said “I won't make it because the coach made it pretty clear by not saying one good ...
A few people have pointed to the SI article. I'm curious if anyone has asked the kids that stayed behind with their HS team, because of the so called pact they made to each other, if they could do it all over again, would they do it again or would they have bailed? Also, how many of the group got le...
I'm surprised that some people try to defend the Section 1 Advanced 17 tryouts, the coaches hate Rochester kids, that's why all the Mayo, JM and all but 1 non-Lourdes kids got cut, most only had two days to show what they could do, the coaching staff was Lourdes dominated / biased. I'm shocked Matt...
Howdy, You obviously can't read, I'm not the father of 2 boys. In fact, I only have 1 daughter. So don’t get me confused with the Mr. Faupel, I have however seen my share of their games. In case you haven’t heard, Mr. Faupel has been banned from this sight for speaking his mind. You've obviously hav...
For those curious of who on the Select 17 festival who made it to Select 16 Nationals: Those having made Select 16 Nationals Section Name: Points: "Rank (points only):" 5A-5AA (Gold) Nick Bjugstad 6 23 1A-1AA (Orange) Connor Faupel 5 35 7A-7AA (Teal) Derek Forbort 4 46 7A-7AA (Teal) Garret...
I for one find it very interesting that ZERO Century players made the cut, not even Tyler Anderson, but yet 4 players from Mayo made it. MMmmmm, I wonder if it has anything to do with Whitney counting the votes himself, afterall he's the number one big kahuna. :?: What a farce! Tyler Anderson deserv...
Lets see . . . At state with Grimstad/Knoepke, Joe Faupel did exactly what they wanted, just the way they asked of him. His job was simple, get to the front of the net and be ready, don't go to the corners don't go up the ice, just get in front of the net and battle. Had anyone else been able to do ...
Goldy and Pepper, WAKE UP! You clearly don't have any idea what you're talking about. To say that Connor Faupel was a 6th D is like calling Eric Ordahl a 3rd or 4th line player. When was the last time you saw a freshman make 1st line varsity? To play your first varsity game on TV against Edina, have...
