They make a fortune on Maui Wowies. Never had one. I'm a malt guy and now Snuffies is gone too.
Two diet cokes and a water was $25. I about fell over.

Re: AA QF - #5 Grand Rapids vs. #4 Rosemount

Looked at the replays and was disappointed to see how blatant the trip on Carlson was in overtime that wasn't called. Rosemount guy stuck his leg way out intentionally and sent him flying. Not even a questionable call. They called an interference penalty on the biggest hit of the night with 3 min le...

Re: AA QF - #5 Grand Rapids vs. #4 Rosemount

What a game from a hockey perspective! Obviously disappointed with the result being a GR fan and some of the late game calls or non calls. Rats. Go get the consolation now! A meeting between GR and Andover for consolation title would be INTENSE. Agree NB. Thanks for the grandpa congrats also. Him a...

Re: AA QF - #5 Grand Rapids vs. #4 Rosemount

I'm biased but I like Rapids in this one. I really like the way they have been playing down the stretch. I think they'll embrace the underdog role. I could see the moment and lights being too bright for Rosemount. It is not uncommon for newcomers to trip up at the X, even good teams.

Re: A QF- #1 Hibbing vs #8 Dodge County

I went back and looked. You're right, Gentry beat Dodge County 8-1 in the championship game. No mention of Hermantown in that tournament. Hermantown was 19-1 and the #1 seed. Lost to DC in the quarters due to covid exposures 7-3! It was HTowns JV team + Zam I believe. That's correct. But I doubt th...

Re: 7AA Final - #1 Grand Rapids vs. #2 Rock Ridge

Winner of this game likely gets a Thursday game with either Moorhead, Minnetonka ( Chanhassen has a say yet), or possibly Edina. Whoever wins tonight will need to play even better next week. I’ll be following as close as possible tonight while waiting for my first grandson to be born. He could show...

Re: 7A Final - #1 Hibbing vs. #3 CEC

Do we want to bring up the elephant in the room. Was that goaltender interference or not? 8) That's gotta be GI 7 out of 10 times. From what I saw the defender pushed or guided the Hibbing player toward the crease, goalie contact was made, but there was no effort from the Hibbing player to evacuate...

Re: 4AA semi-finals

WBL beats Stillwater in OT. Seems like another year of upsets. That stretches the definition of 'upset', to put it mildly. It's a near even money game in most years, and even more so this year. No one who paid attention to Stillwater down the stretch was surprised by this in the least. Good to know...

I'm picking Cloquet in this one

Lee
That was a 2-0 at the end of the rush, I really thought he was gonna pass it over.

Re: 7AA Final - #1 Grand Rapids vs. #2 Rock Ridge

Should be a fun one! In late January Rock Ridge edged GR 4-3 in Virginia. I would say GR is peaking right now but will it be enough? Rock ridge has some higher end players.

I'll take GR 4-3 this go around.

Re: AA Rankings for 12/14/25

Also, as I’ve complained in previous posts, 7AA is hot garbage this year. 1AA and 7AA are the jokes of the state. Think how much better 1AA would be this year if Rosemount was in it and Lakeville South didn’t get a free pass to state every year. In 7AA, until Hermantown mans up and finally moves up...

Hibbing seemed to run out of steam. I bet they'll be back. Good fuel to make another run next year.
