[ The main adjustment the Gophers have made in the last year or so is they have focused recruiting more on smaller forwards with elite skill. The types of players that have the kind of skill that could get to the NHL some day but maybe not the prototypical size to leave college after a year or two. ...

Congrats to Benilde. They got the job done--and did it with style. They have been through a lot this year--at the beginning they looked like a disorganized mess. But they pulled it all together, and no doubt Jack Jablonski's injury played a key role in getting them to rally together and go win a ti...

Let him in the team photo for chrissakes. The kid has worked hard the whole year, check that, his whole life for this opportunity. He made a mistake within the confines of competition. All these self righteous people who think he was rightfully punished need to relax and get a clue....

Yeah, not sure why Wally Shaver was ever let go in the first place. I'd take Wally back in a heartbeat over Matvick!

Lou Nanne is one of the most knowledgable hockey guys around. Absolutely love listening to him, he gives fantastic insight. As far as his bias towards Edina I can forgive it and understand it given that his two grandsons play for the Hornets. It's hard to blame any parent or grandparent for being a ...

Gophers do not have big players coming in, but highly skilled offensive players that display better puck control than the current roster... Kloos and Connor Reilly should be solid to good scorers in college. Maybe not right away but in time. Lucia was smart to spend wisely on forwards for the 2012 ...

I see a recurring theme on here that Nate Schmidt has come into his own this year and improved a great deal from his freshman year and the hope seems to be that Marshall makes similar progress. However, there is a fundamental difference. Marshall has played in 35 of 37 games this year while Schmidt ...

I just wish channel 45 would put the drawing on it's website. Or MSHSL could put it on You Tube. Then the conspiracy theories would mostly end. Channel 45 blew the wrestling finals tonight, it rarely worked. I hope they get it fixed before the hockey tournament as this was an embarrassment for the ...

Gross and whoever happens to be his partner. That kid is legit...

whenever somebody tries to smoke him, he does the smoking of the other kid. Beese nearly never gets laid out, NEVER.

He got beat in the corners plenty against Tonka...

Besse best by far? thats a little over the top I don't think so, watch him play he dominates every aspect of the game. He is willing to block shots and be in good position in the D-zone. Way better at that aspect of the game than Kloos. Besse is a great player, but shies away from contact a little ...

Who deserves to be on the 1st team? Pick 3 forwards, 2 D, and 1 goalie? I think who deserves to be on it are: F Kloos F Besse F Hurley D Gross D Schurhamer G Franke Connor Hurley is the only one who I have not seen on previous posters list and am sure he won't make it as he is only a sophomore, but...

I would also not rule out the possibility that the state high school league wanted to be sure it didn't "insult" teams by seeding them last as part of why they only seed 1-4. That seems exactly like the kind of thing they'd do (sort of like how the classes in high school football have to ...

For you to say Hermantown dominated the whole game is embarrasing. Rogers out played Hermantown for the first two periods of that game. Missing on two breakaways and several other great scoring chances. Hermantown absolutey poured it on in the third period as Rogers went into a shell and Hermantown...

Hermantown is going to absolutely roll them. Was at the first game between these two teams and despite the score being 2-1 Hermantown dominated the play. Final 6-1.

Hard to believe that fourth line didn't do much again,huh? Go figure. I'm confused. Is this a shot at Eagan's 4th line? 3 lines are putting up numbers is called depth in high school hockey. How many high school hockey teams have their 4th line putting up points in the 3rd period of a section semi-f...

Spuds 4- 1. They will be a dangerous darkhorse rolling into the tourney...

I am not impressed... To me he is another big goalie... Alot of pucks hit him because of his size... I have not been impressed with his performances I have seen... Good teams know how to wait him out and put good shots on goal... I would expect for him to stay pretty much idle from where he is and ...

Who does he play for?

Really liked the way STA looked against East when I saw them in the Schwan's Cup. St. Thomas takes this one, 3-2.

Can anybody offer any insight or shed any light on what the relationship is between Don Lucia and Mike Guentzel? It seems as though Guentzel was the scapegoat in 2008 when he got fired after the Gophers lost in the first round of the NCAA tourney. Now, after they've failed to reach the NCAA's the la...

Not so sure if Warroad pick the right coach for the job.....The Warroad team needs some work on D but they are young boys one sr..Hayden Timm can't play the hole game..Sr Andy Foster is 4 and 6 with save percentage .894 and Sr Chris Larson is 4 and 1 with a save percentage .894...I'm pretty sure i ...
