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

What a fantastic hockey game. My younger Greyhound self would cringe to hear me say this, but I loved this Cloquet team for their discipline and steadiness. They are so well coached; sure, they have some very good defensemen, but even the less skilled ones were fantastic at closing down gaps and ne...

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

Would be something to watch if Proctor continues to up their game and we get to see Proctor, CEC, Hibbing and Hermantown slug it out over the next 2 years. Agree. As good as the Hawks are, and they are good, they still have plenty of competition in 7A. Not long ago that seemed almost impossible.

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

Shea Walters needs to be Class A coach of the year. Absolutely incredible what he did with that team. Cloquet has some excellent youth classes about to arrive soon, and they've got the coach to maximize that talent. Outstanding. 100% The way they went toe to toe with the 2 best teams in 2 totally d...

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

Awesome hockey. Had Cloquet won I would have made them the 1 seed.

Yeah, I think that was the game Rewerks scored in OT and then had the greatest post game interview ever.

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

Agree. CEC didn’t get here the easy way. They are trying to slay the dragons themselves. They just might do it.

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

Agree it will be tight until the end but so far it’s the polar opposite of the Hermantown- CEC game. That one was fast paced up and down the whole game. This one feels like trudging through fresh concrete.

Not a dis. Just a totally differed type of game.

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

I’m going Rapids. I really like how they’ve looked the last 6 weeks. Early on this year they were pretty inconsistent finding the back of the net. They have shown they can score as the season wound down. They also played 4 goaltenders a lot this year. All of them were solid when they got the chance....

Re: Any scores

Tonight’s game was different to me than most. Most games have some ebbs and flows. One team has heavy pressure for a while then the other does the same. This one was steady up and down the ice with great goaltending both ways. Cloquet found the back of the net a couple more times. Really well playe...

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

I was looking forward to a Hibbing/ Hermantown game.

Now, after watching how Cloquet played the Hawks, I’m really excited to see this game.

If the Jacks can duplicate that intensity for the whole game, the Bluejackets will have their hands full. 2 very good teams.

3-2 Irish. I think a final.

I didn’t see that coming. St. Thomas is a really good team obviously. Gotta tip your hat sometimes.

Re: Any scores

Is it just me or does Hermantown- Cloquet- Hibbing look as good as anyone in AA? I’m not talking just 7AA either.

This game is good stuff.

Re: 7AA continues (part 2)

Similar to the GR/FL game.
Not a lot of advantage either way.
I’m expecting 2 games coming down to the wire.
All 4 teams know if they play well, they could move on.

Re: 7AA continues

Very wide open section from here on out.
Forest Lake knows they are capable of pulling this off.
GR knows Forest Lake is capable of pulling this off.
Should be a great game.
