Re: Early Departures From WCHA

The Gophers get some of the top kids in the country. Inevitable that many would leave before their eligibility is through. I think many of the guys on your list would benefit from another year at the college level (Skille, Kessel, Oshie). I say have an opportunity to shine before taking the next ste...

Frozen Four Preview in Milwaukee paper

The Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel has a nice preview and features about this weekend's event. Somewhat surprising in that Milwaukee is not much of a hockey town, but some good stuff nonetheless. Thought someone might like to check it out.<br><br><!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://www.jsonline...

Re: WCHA playoffs

My mistake - Badgers have won their last 4 (not 6) and in those 4, Elliot gave up only 2 goals. Yes, he came back from injury and had a rough time, but really turned a corner against SCSU. Still, with the way the Gophs pass the puck, they should get to any goalie at least twice, and with Wisconsin's...

Re: WCHA playoffs

With Brian Elliot back in nets for the Badgers, the whole team seems to play differently, and they've won their last 6 after really hurting in January. They are for real. But I agree that the Gophs are playing "unreal hockey" right now, and don't see them losing. So incredibly skilled. Gop...

Re: Some issues should stay in the locker room!......by SS

Disagree with Aus. A good coach, but let's not forget he has been at Centennial for many years and although his teams always competed well in their conference, they'd fall early to the likes of Irondale and Mounds View. Centennial youth program is great, and the HS has become massive. Giving Aus som...

Re: Televising HS Hockey

Even though I live in Wisconsin, I would love to see the games televised here as well. Unfortunately, I'll be stuck with the Milwaukee Bucks (snooze). I left MN 3 years ago and still follow the hockey stats and scores, and thanks to this board I can still learn about what's happening. Seriously, not...

Centennial

The area that Centennial serves has grown immensely over the past 10 years. In the early 90s the school had about 1000 kids, now they're over 2000. Obviously this helps the athletic program. This is not to suggest that numbers alone have created a top-notch hockey program. The youth system is well s...

I have an idea, how about we get through one thread without blasting private schools? Are you that threatened? Private schools exist all over the world and they're not going anywhere. Get over your inferiority complex. It is clear, especially after watching that game, that an argument about private ...

Hatred, or jealousy?

Only one person has it right; the hated teams are the most successful. No one seems to despise Centennial now, but in two years, after what will potentially be three seasons of state appearances (keeping in mind that anything can happen on any given night) they'll be hated as well, and every jealous...
