I've seen him play. He's a smart player. A strong player. And he must be coachable to be an NHL pick.

After watching the Virginia vs Procter game, Virginia needs some work. Westin line lacked chemistry, Stoks line needs teamwork and Henrickson line needs to play both ends of the rink. Some of their defensemen need to stay home and protect the line.

Matt Dye - Hibbing
Jake Williams - Duluth East
Christian Belobaba - Virginia

These players have done well for their teams.
Grivette from Virginia would be here too if he hadn't been moved to wing.

[quote]what you are asking in my mind would be horrible, you would loose lots of rival games, that mean so much to the teams, and make the whole year worth waiting for.

What rival games would be missed if all privates played AA? I said if AA teams want to play A teams, let them.[/quote]

A change that I would like to see is all private schools should be in the higher class. Most parents put their kids in private schools for the athletics and a chance to go to the state tournament. If a private school starts a new program, let them play in the class they fall into for five years or i...

Hibbing 5 Greenway 2

Gr 11
EG/ME 0

GR shopuld give the net to the JV back up goalie in this one.

Int. Falls was a common opponent. The first LOW/IF game was the same as the Two EG-ME vs IF. Blowouts by the Falls. The 2nd game between LOW and IF was 4-3. It also sounds as if EG/ME is missing a key player or two or may have players playing hurt. What will make this game worth watching is the hist...

Don't hear much about LOW hockey history like you do with Eveleth, and they haven't done much to prove themselves lately to be part of that great history.
It may be a close scoring game, but not a good game.

Must be a reason the U.S. H.H.of F. is in Eveleth.

Maybe I am crazy to think that.It's just a gut feeling I have. Everyone thinks Virginia is overrated? If anything, they are underrated. They,ve won games they've been picked to lose. Games they've lost have been close or they've out shot their opponent. Like I said before, the GR and IF games were a...

Should be a better game than the first. Virginia was making some serious adjustments after injuries to Grivette and Buccanero.

Virginia 4
Falls 3

He's a very good player. He plays both ends of the rink well, and compliments any team he's played for. He should get a look, but I hear he needs to hit the books a little harder. No D-1 school will look at a kid with a poor GPA.

Yeah pacman, the refs missed some calls. Both ways. None more obvious than two near the end of the game that would have kept Virginia on the power play for the last few minutes. And Hibbing was crashing the goalie all night.
Save it for the rematch.

virginia isn't as great as u all think..... :lol:

They are better than most people thought they would be. And comparing the complete strength of schedule both teams have played and the outcomes of those games, I'd have to give a huge edge to Virginia in this one.

First road game for Virginia.
Hermantown 5-3

It sounded like Boese had a good game also.
Good play by play on 610 AM.

Don't count out Greenway. They played Virginia on the back rink and finished 20 minutes before hitting the ice against EG/ME at the IRC jamboree, but couldn't do to Little Falls what Virginia did.

Virginia played well until CEC took the timeout. Hendrickson should have called one himself when the game got to 5-3 to try to settle this young team. Virginia played well in the third. Had more shots on goal. Thompson played well in relief for CEC. Had some nice saves including one off the handle t...

Marriucci, Loe, Spragg, and Hendrickson

My old school doesn't have team. Playing the game on paper usually has a different outcome after playing it on the rink. Agreed, Squirt?
