Re: Congrats

Congrats to Moorhead. I hope the Spuds can beat Hill Murray tomorrow. After this game, I'm reminded how great it is that Roseau won't have to face Bitzer anymore. He is one very good goalie. MOST GOOD COACHES PLAY THEIR BEST GOALIE AT PLAYOFFS EXCEPTION BEING THAT DANDY AT GRAND RAPIDS :wink: :lol:...

Re: Kicking the puck into the net

If they allowed kicking the puck into the net, the goal crease would have to be about double the size because everyone would just try and deflect it off a skate. This is hockey, not soccer. The object of the game is to shoot the puck into the goal with a stick if that was already clearly obvious. T...

I'm sure the Rapid faithful feel they have a lot of talent, but non bias people see average hs talent and this is reflected by their record. Two state runnerups are pretty good. Where did Trent Klatt go? This group was in the state title game as pee wees and bantams. I think Rapids fans had every r...

Wayzata has a very strong football tradition during the 2000's and this hurts their hockey program in some ways. Some good hockey players have tried to play both hockey and football which in turn hurts their hockey development somewhat. The student body gets more excited about the football games as...

IMO - Not sure the new rules will help GR, they've always had success when their physicality disrupts the flow of the other team. That's been their formula for success against East in the last few years. Now that physicality comes with higher risk, I don't think it'll be advantageous for them. The ...

Slyer obviously has something against the good ol' halloween machine. Facts don't lie, whether AA or A teams they play, look at the strength of schedule. Currently 16th out of every team in the state, both AA and A. 4 of the 5 losses were to two top 5 AA teams (DE was #1 at the time), #1 ranked A te...
