Two pretty evenly-matched teams, and if there's an edge it would have to be the fact that almost every time these teams meet in the post-season, Red Wing's Nemanich outcoaches the Lourdes guy pretty badly. I remember sitting with an NHL scout when RW beat Lourdes in the state semis in 2002 or 2003, ...

I can't believe this discussion has gone on for four pages an no one has mentioned George Nemanich down in Red Wing. He went to a town that had never been to a section final, won a state championship and went to four or five other tournaments, including two other championship games. He's won the Joh...

5-3 Red Wing....Just too much depth on the Wingers, AL sort of a one-trick pony.

goalieguy1

Schammel open-netter for a 5-3 Red Wing win. See you Thursday.

Albert Lea cuts it to 4-3 with 40 seconds left.

4-2 Wingers, Patrick Noesen, 7:30 to play.

3-2 Red Wing...Schammel goal, about 10:00 left to play.

After watching that game, I thought Lakeville South and Hill-Murray might be two of the worst teams ever to come to the state tournament. No skill, no speed...neither of them would have a chance to win the Class A tournament, let alone this one. Just two hours of wretched hockey.

I remember when 206 was clever and funny. Now it's just lame and pathetic. Go hang out at the basketball tournament.

I was at the game and yes, Lapic played the entire 2nd period, and all but about 1:15 of the 3rd period, all at defense, instead of his normal forward position. It appeared to be in response to Lapic's staying on the ice too long during a 1st-period shift, but that's just speculation. In talking wit...

Red Wing 7, New Prague 3.....Something bizarre going on with the New Prague team. The Lapic kid (the junior) apparently took too long a shift in the first period, so the coach made him play D the entire 2nd and 3rd period...He NEVER came off the ice in the 2nd, and only took two breaks of about 45 s...

Dwayne Roloson also was an NCAA goalie (UMass-Lowell, I believe), though he played some juniors before going to school. The problem of adequate goalie coaching is an issue everywhere, but it seems particularly acute in youth and high school settings. Most high schools have no budgets for a goalie co...

Eyeinthesky - Here's a link to a story the Strib did about a year ago on Byfuglien:

http://www.startribune.com/1330/story/948533.html

He never played varsity for Roseau, and left school early to go play midgets. Pretty good story, and he really pulled himself up from a tough situation.

I couldn't believe it when I saw this thread resurrected....Fun to read through the whole thing. Thanks for bumping it. Byfuglien is having a nice year with the Hawks - had a hat trick in the first period the other night.

Agree with 007....Happened to see this game, and while the shot count was overly generous, this freshman goalie was impressive. My understanding is that the senior with the torn ACL will be back mid- to late-December, and then RW will have two solid goalies. RW looked nervous early, then played a st...

Well, hockey59, if you're right, then he'll be a big success in Green Bay...probably win 20-25 games, have a GAA around 2.30 or so...Make sure you let me know when that happens, so that I can admit how much more you know about goaltending than I do.

The people picking the all state teams don't just look at the stats and pick the guys, there's so much more to look at, you know that. In fact, that IS what happens. You have to understand that in order to vote for the AP All-State team, all you need to do is be a sports editor or sports director a...

We've been through this before...He put up great stats with a very good team, but if you break the stats down, there's nothing special there. You could have taken any one of 25 goalies from around the state, put them on STA and they would still have won 24 games and gone to state. I don't have time ...

We've had this discussion before, but the consensus of most scouts is that Crandall is an average goalie at best. He's been protected by playing on very good teams. I remember one scout at their section final saying that if STA and Red Wing had changed goalies, STA would have won 12-0, instead of it...

How is it that the admin locks up interesting, quality threads for silly, arbitrary reasons, yet he allows this useless, juvenile thread continue to exist? Geez, at least show some consistency and have some standards.

I'm not sure if you were watching, but they lost the semifinal game in the 2nd OT. Yes, you are right, they didn't make it. But saying they are unlikely to make it then saying you were right on when they lose in OT is a little far. Great game by both teams, but claiming that it couldn't go to any o...

Wow, what a hockey genius this guy is....Tough loss for Brokeback Academy.

This is sounding sort of prescient right about now.

My sense of it - and I'm willing to admit I might be wrong - is that he was saying there was no one they considered an NHL prospect in THIS YEAR'S Class A tourney. I didn't take it as a general putdown of Class A hockey, because clearly you've had guys like Wyatt Smith and John Pohl come out of the ...
