Hill never got better at any point this year. I didn’t witness any growth from game 1 to last night’s loss. Usually Hill teams round into form late in the year. Whether that’s better D, or a feeling of more depth, etc. Never happened this year and I’m not sure why. I also never felt like Hanggi live...

Gentry is always a bit of an enigma due to scheduling. They seemed to be coming together and playing well to end the year. They beat the pants off Hill last night. They were faster to pucks, won almost every contested puck, were far bigger hitters, and were way more aggressive - especially on penalt...

Early 2nd period- Gentry up 3-1 on Hill. At the game, and can tell you that Gentry is thoroughly outplaying Hill so far. More aggressive, harder to the puck. Better goaltending. Hill looks overmatched so far. Gentry looks great.

I know. I was being silly

Third #1 seed to go down!!!!

HM 7 Mounds View 0 The score was expected - but I think Godbout was back for Hill. He got hurt against Duluth East at the end of January and hadn't played since. Overheard his gramps at Aldrich during that game say he'd be out 4-6 weeks. If he did return against MV (he didn't register a pt, and I di...

In case anyone was planning to watch Maple Grove vs. Hill Murray on Tuesday at Aldrich, the game has been re-scheduled due to Precinct Caucuses in Minnespta. I heard the game was going to be played on Thursday at 4:00 at Maple Grove, but have not confirmed that. WTH? Crud. Update: The game will be ...

I'm tempted to head down to Aldrich on my last day in town. I haven't seen a good HM v East matchup in many a moon. Anyone else going? Of course, I'm also tempted by Centennial and HM in girl's, which is a #1 v #2 matchup tonight up in Lino Lakes. Dang, sorry Spar. I was there but didn’t see your m...

EP is lethal on the powerplay this year. They're scoring at like a 36% clip on powerplays. I don't know that another team in the state is that successful with a man advantage.

Last thing I'll say about Hill's penalty kills. This is the first season in a while where I dread seeing them take a penalty. Good teams seem to torch them. A couple of games that stood out for me where opposing teams badly hurt Hill on the PP Eden Prairie 3 for 4 STA 2 for 2 Grand Rapids 2 for 3 Th...

The STA vs Rockridge result should be treated as a scrimmage. It tells us little to nothing of consequence. The HM vs Stillwater game was more entertaining than I had hoped. Of course when Stillwater scored early on the PP they acted like it was a state tournament game because, hey, we scored on Hi...

I'm pretty good with Hill at #7 Regardless of circumstance, you can't lose to an unranked Holy Family team and expect not to get dinged. This week will tell us a lot about the top teams. Moorhead, STA, Stillwater, Edina, Shakopee & Rogers all have tough games, mostly because of the Tradition Hol...

Hill Murray just lost to Holy Family, 3-2. Yikes. And then they beat Edina. Make it make sense. Hill dominated play against Holy Family. 57 shots. Reminds me of a couple years ago when Two Rivers beat them. It was a similar type game. For whatever reason, Hill’s top line- where you figured most of ...

Hill 1 Rogers 0 Final. I really can't put my finger on this Hill team through 4 games. The concerning: there's been a bit of a power outage on offense the last 3 games. The promising: the D seems locked in and Hanggi is looking good. The good: they don't have a loss. The bad: I haven't felt like any...

I wouldn't read too much into the Hill EP game. Eden Prairie scored 3 goals on the powerplay, which is impressive. Nothing wrong with getting a little penalty killing experience early in the season if you're Hill. I remember reading that EP has a few freshman on the varsity squad. Will be interesti...

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?

I kindly doubt it. Gonna need that NIL money....

0-5 on good games so far in class A. Let’s hope tonight and the champ game provides some entertainment You need a new bookie! Lol! Well I hardly think 3 shutouts (with all 3 being wins by 3 or more goals) and a running time game to open things up screams excitement. Orono v SCC is providing some la...

It sure looks like everyone was right about the Zephyrs and their season-long challenge putting pucks in the net.

I don't think HS hockey in Minnesota has faded in popularity. Arenas are still packed for big games, there is excitement and people seem to be engaged. What does seem to have faded in popularity is bantering with strangers about it. I do feel like there's just a desire to consume content rather tha...
