Wow, that was very well done. I remember that '84 state quarter final. Durose absolutely stood on his head that game, and his glove was the size of a bushel basket. I bet Curella still sees that shot (near the buzzer) in his sleep; he should have filed a report of robbery. I also recall the double o...

Yes and YES! Like a REAL tourney. Mix it up. Already too predictable - otherwise, same 5 teams every year, guaranteed...esp moving forward. Alas, now we know why Rogers to Sec 6 ?!?!!?. Traditionalists will pine, but too bad. Turn the page and lets ROLL! Speculating on that is about as useful as me...

Two things can be true at the same time.

Who at the MSHSL thought 6AA needed a fifth top 10 team?

The Group of Death

If only there were a simple solution. Like, just having one class. Nah, that's just crazy talk.

Seemed odd the goalie wasn’t given the time to fix broken skate lace. The goal they gave up 5 seconds later was pretty big. Although I must admit it was a nice tip in that I couldn’t fault Airey. Just what does "fixing a skate lace" entail? If it means a complete replacement, that's somet...

The latest in what is becoming a trend: the Gophers underachieving at the end of the season.Was there some shaky officiating? Sure, but that's part of hockey. The fact of the matter is that the Gophers controlled the game for two periods hten, as noted above, they went into a shell in the third per...

I will never understand the naive idea that "the refs shouldn't decide it". We want games to be won by the team that exhibits the best hockey skills. Tripping, roughing, holding, & hooking, are not hockey skills. When refs overlook penalties, they ARE deciding the game, full stop. Ther...

Believe so. For sure the same family. Name is on the main gym too.

Does that mean there will be no advertising inside the new UST Lee and Penny Anderson Arena?

That is... kinda mind blowing.

If someone has to move into Section 1AA, the Pioneers will take one for the team. We'd have no problem heading down Hwy 52 for a final. And then y'all wouldn't be whining about a home ice section final.

When it comes to Jeds, I'm a Clampett loyalist.

Breck: the only arena I'm aware of that doesn't have a single ad on the ice, the resurfacer, or the boards.

Talk about Daddy's money.

Just some a few things as we get closer to 4/3 when the official section new assignments are out from MSHSL- Rumor Heard the Appeals Committee was much tougher on appeals down this year they really looked at the recent success of programs as schools have voiced displeasure with some of the larger s...

Hockey writer Jess Meyers is reporting that Roseau will be in AA. I trust the sources in Roseau that he trusts.

Why can't there be holiday tournaments/showcases this year? (ESPG is correct. If you're not playing down to a champion, it is not a tournament). Christmas Eve is Wednesday, Christmas Day is Thursday. You could play Monday, Tuesday and Friday. There's no law that says games have to be played on thre...

Better question is when and why did these things stop being a bracket style tournament type event? Haven't been paying that close of attention to know when the switch was made but I do know that at some point relatively recently that switch was made. I suspect that this had something to do with hav...

I believe the holiday tournaments are a week later than usual since Christmas Eve/Day fall on a Wednesday/Thursday, preventing a three day tournament from being played that week. So that’s why the Edina/Hill back to back is that Friday and Saturday immediately following Christmas. Will be interesti...

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. ...

Don't have any first hand knowledge, but judging from what some talk has been over the year(s) & even the post tourney Rink of Fire podcast, chance that Freddie Schneider is a flight risk. Edina certainly is a reload, not rebuild program, but he's a high end player that would obviously hurt los...

I'd be in favor of Shakopee replacing PL on our schedule, too.

Anyone who gets a grandchild to Mickey's is a legend in my book. Bonus points for getting them to the Mickey's on W 7th, too.
