And Andover loses to Rogers. Was Andover put on too high of a pedestal this season just because they won it (some might say unexpectedly) last year? From what I’ve seen. Andover is ranked properly. Losing to Rogers 3-1 with an EN goal without their top 2 centers and playing right along with them wi...

Rogers was #2 and has now beaten LVS and Andover so maybe a little high but losing to Rogers isn't a huge upset

MAML up 3-1 Delano having trouble with MAML top line.

We know Hermantown is going to win. BUT Luverne has made HS hockey a bit more exciting. Most of here like the Cards. EVERYONE knew Atlanta was going to win the Superbowl at halftime. "That's why we have to actually PLAY the games". Do you think Luverne can come back from 17 down in 2nd pe...

Bemidji came out flying and their goalie played well. Roseau gave up too many odd man rushes and had a tough night. With that said, the officials had a tough night too. Penalties had to be around 8-2 and they did not seem to know when to blow plays dead when penalties were called. Then net was off ...

As usual, EGF getting called for all the penalties when they play in Bem

Don't feel like yoru singled out ... it apparently happens to others

STMA did deserve the 3-seed, yes. But the Buffalo and Rogers? They play junk schedules, and their only section wins are over each other (both in OT). Roseau split with Brainerd, who beat up on Buffalo early in the season, and also tied STMA. Shouldn't this guy be happy that the mighty metro teams g...

In my best John McEnroe voice, "you cannot be serious!" :roll: Seems like a valid question. You derisively write "the family thinks that their little superstar is a certain lock for Division I fame" while using the terms superstar or "the next big thing" when referring...

Snyper, interesting response. Seems from your previous posts you have a part in this ranking system. You would think you might want to watch Hermantown play before passing such comments. I also think that your boys in the cities might be a little upset with you for the lack respect you have for the...

Pinky - don't you think stinkhandling a ball or puck in the garage develops hand to eye coordination MUCH more than take a couple of swings at a baseball??? And as far as your second comment, that's a cop-out and you know it....unless you think ALL kids are the same, and ALL kids MUST be playing ad...

So far the best associations are Kennedy, Luvurne, and Hutchinson. The average association has about 42 kids that make about 3 teams. The 3 best association average 23 kids on 2 teams. In the best associations, why are kids staying away in droves? Perhaps the other way around ... only the more dedi...

Long time reader, first time poster! I was in Rosemount last week at the Pond...There was a goalie camp going on the ice called MVP goaltending...I have never heard of it, but was very impressed how the camp was being operated...great drills, organization was great and coach to player ratio was 2-1...

Which part of the ADM says they shouldn't be "scouted"? What part of a "scout/spectator" being at a game tells you that their long term success is being helped or hampered by their training methods? Ask the people "scouting" what their opinion is. Find me one professio...

in short - let the kids dream, parents allow them to dream and support their dreams balancing with a pragmatic view but DO NOT stop stop the KIDS from dreaming. Ask anyone who has made it if kids should stop dreaming and if parents should stop them from dreaming and supporting the KIDS ( not the par...

Who really cares about kids coming in from the outside? First we hear the complaints that AAA hockey is watered down, then we hear it is not fair that ringers are brought in. Summer hockey has jungle rules when it comes to participation, so just deal with it. BTW-I don't have my kids playing AAA. I...

But it won't if people can find an advantage they will use it. Right or wrong. its a fact. unless you have somebody to police it and make rules Isn't that sad? People KNOW it's wrong, but will do it anyway because there is no governing body to police it. Let me ask you a question...do you play golf...

(Just like an "A" association team would never enter a "B" tournament. To further your association analogy: a B association team would never take two or three players from their A team to a B tournament. The whole idea of AAA v. AA, or Tier 1 v. Tier 2, or Alliance, that has bee...

You are what they call a pot stirrer. Nothin wrong with that. It is fun to read. But who were you before you became BI? You seem much wiser than your 9 post history would indicate? pot stirrer, devils advocate ... probably true. I was no one before i was blunt. Just a long time lurker decided to po...

"would you ever hear your boss say,"It wouldn't be good for our business if we hired xyz to improve us, it just wouldn't be fair, besides, he has his MBA and it's more then any of us have." NO" But you might hear your boss say, "Get off that blasted hockey forum and get som...

Opinion based is fine, as long as you state it is "your opinion". You have seen how many 99 Wisconsin teams? I have seen Caps, Madison Stars, Jr Badgers, NWW Bucks, WW Blue Devils, Flyers, Green Bay, Appleton Ice, NW Blizzards, most I have seen at least 2 times. I have not seen Blaze or A...

No enough with the Jr.Badgers, any team with the name Badgers should not be mentioned on this forum. And any Minnesota parent showcasing their kid around to play in an open tournament for kicks should be deported to Milwaukee. Oh, FYI those are not some of the best players in Minnesota :oops: I bel...
