Let me get this straight. I get to start a "hockey school." I can choose from the best players in the city/region that I want to play for me. Those player do not have restrictions on where they live...in fact they don't even have to live in my school’s "district." I can recruit t...

2-2 after 2? Sounds like East is not quite where they were earlier this year if that's how they fared against an unranked team. Do they have everybody back now? Were the CEC goals weak? How many shots did they face? If they played a shaky game vs. CEC I'd be a little concerned next time they come up...

Great job this week as always Karl!

Right, I forgot...DE is the only team that has any injured players all season long. I know, let's go through all the games during a season and add and subtract goals for all teams who have injured players. Then, let's take away all the "weak" goals where the goalie "should have made t...

I love to root for northern teams just because of the David vs. Goliath notion vs. some of the big metro schools. Maybe that's overblown since there are quite a few hockey factories up north, but I love it when a Roseau or Rapids has a shot at the title. I also like to root for public vs. private......

I'm a little surprised at the responses regarding East. I was quick to say Tonka got their butts kicked by east at the X in December. Now East gets blown out, and there are a lot of excuses and reasons why today’s game wasn't a real test on this board. Yes, East had a few key players out, but maybe ...

Wow, my Skippers got schooled tonight. Hat’s off to East. East played fast, nearly flawless hockey. They are as advertised for sure. East did several things well tonight. They are really fast, and they kept skating all night long. They move together extremely well as a team and support the puck ever...

They need his size up front. His WCHA learning curve will be faster than many believe. I think he will score more goals than people think and create some much needed havoc in front of opposing nets. How does 10G + 10A = 20pts sound from a freshman on a team that is in desperate need of scoring. I th...

Congrats to Tonka too on a great year. 27-2-2. Nice. They add a tough to get Section 6 title and a 2nd place finish at state. That's the best finish in school history. Just couldn't quite get it done in the end. Great season. It will be fun to see how Prochno, Gardiner, Hesketh and Holl do in the WC...

Hey...does anybody know where to find CH 45 on HD on Mediacom????

I don't even know where to begin to make a prediction for this potential classic tonight. Since the seeds were set, I fully expected a Tonka-Edina final. In an ideal world, both teams would be "rested" and ready to play their best game. But that's not how this tourney goes sometimes as we ...

I was given this info directly during a personal phone call with a high level person at MSHSL. The source also told me they are working on a system to prevent a repeat, and may look at changing the way situations like this are handled regarding reversing a clear rules error in the future. In defens...

inthestands asked me "Junior, what if the right call was made?" My answer to him is simply this: This thread would not exist; Fergus Falls and Alexandria would have played for the right to go to the State Tournament; and the result may have been different. That scenerio would seem apparen...

Well written letter.

I sent an email inquiry to David Stead, the Executive Director of MSHSL on Monday. I have not even received the courtesy of a reply.

Thanks for the info Gabby. It doesn't need to be a protest. MSHSL should just step up and do what's right. Let the team that EARNED the right to play on advance. You see this in sports and elswhere. Everybody knows they blew it, but there's this whole notion that "we don't want to open that can...

I HATE this stuff. If they botched the rule...change the call...NOW.

Somebody call the section office and MSHSL and get them to change it. They blew it, they can correct it.

Kesler actually tipped Kane's shot past Luongo, don't know who got credit for the goal though

I also saw something today I didn't see in the last two years section playoffs with Tonka. Determination.

On the faces of the coaches and players. I think this team is mentally tough enough to get the job done this year.

I really like the way Tonka handled a tough BSM team today. If they bring that same brand of speed, physical play and attacking the net I think they will get by EP this year.

I'll take Tonka 5-3.

Canada woke up after the USA beating, but I still like the way Team USA matches up against Canada.

I think they can match Canada with size, speed, attacking style, physical play and goaltending.

I say USA wins gold...5-4.

Hopefully they won't get to use it much...but the Finns have no power play. They laid an egg against the Swedes and were not too impressive beating a depleted CZE. I like Team USA's chances here to reach the gold medal game. USA has too much speed and intensity and physical play for the Finns, I hop...

NBC put the game on MSNBC because of advertising revenue, ever notice how many commercial breaks there are on NBC? It seems 1 every 5 minutes, they'd miss half of the game or sell far less commercials and NBC paid a ton for the broadcast rights. If the US makes the gold medal game I bet NBC gets bi...

That would be "medal" games...
