Jr. Gold 'B' Scores Listing

SLP Coach · Post by **SLP Coach** » Mon Jan 12, 2004 10:37 am

"CGS" You are right, next time, I'll be more carefull on the assumptions that I make. Seems like Tartan pretty much walked though the SSP Tourney, Congrads to them. SLP was in the Hutch Tourney and didn't really play a single game well. SLP went 0-3 losing to EP-Red 0-7, Souix Falls 1-2, and Edina 3-6. (More updates, as per usual coming soon) EP-Red was playing Chaska in the Championship Game, I would be interested in hearing about that outcome, if anybody has any info. It really is great to see more activity on this board. MJBTartan, It is great to see someone from a team come on here and talk about their games and their team. I would like to see some of our players on here discussing these things as well. Edited by: <A HREF=http://pub33.ezboard.com/bmnhs.showUser ... h@mnhs>SLP Coach</A> at: 1/12/04 11:56 am

SLP Coach, [thanks for changing the EP team] Early on I heard Red was the better of the two. Watch for Minnetonka, I keep hearing good things about them. They continue to develop and improve as a team. I think they are headed your way soon, too, SLP. Rankings (opinions, scores and heresay - stay off my back) 1. Elk River 2. Tartan 3. South St. Paul 4. Burnsville 5. Eden Prairie Red 6. Hastings 7. WBL Orange 8. Centennial 9. Minnetonka 10. Eden Prairie Black Also receiving votes: Roseville, Edina, Brooklyn Park, RAVE, IGH, Chaska Some might seem out of place, but this is what I am hearing. Y'all are welcome to question my rankings, but hopefully you will post your own rankings for comparison. Good Luck to those of you associated with teams and those of you who just read the board everyday! Edited by: <A HREF=http://pub33.ezboard.com/bmnhs.showUser ... bserver</A> at: 1/12/04 12:37 pm

Thanks for noticing the EP teams, Sorry bout that, just kinda got mixed up. It was the EP-Red Team. I kinda hope that they are the better of the two, we play them in the reg season but do not play the Black team. They were a pretty solid group. I would predict that they would beat Chaska to take the Hutch Tourney. "Park was down 0-1 when EP-R took a bounce and the puck went over our D's stick and they scored on a Breakaway with 3 secs left in the 2nd to make it 0-2. The 3rd period, our team came out REAL flat, for the first time all year, and EP-R walked all over us, scoring 5 more to take the win 7-0." (excert from SLP's game journal) Yeah, we play Minnetonka on Tuesday 6pm at SLP East Rink. This should be a real good game as long as both teams come ready to play. It seems as though both squads have had times when they don't really bring their game. Let's hope that doesn't happen Tuesday.

EP won the championship 3-2 by scoring two goals in 40 seconds in the last 1:30 of the game. They just keep finding a way to win. That seems to be the story of the top 5-6 teams.

Well we beat O/MG the saturday night 6-2, but managed to lose out leading scorer till at least the 18th of january. Bummer. Kids keep you damned heads screwed on strait and dont retalitate, it doesnt do you any good! Anyways we have two games this week. N. St. Paul, and TC Wessy's at Mariucci, which should be a blast. Then its the Super Rink Tourney. Tartan nice win in the SSP tourney, IGH nice win over SSP, and Go post a poll on that TOP 10 JGB thread

mjbtartan · Post by **mjbtartan** » Mon Jan 12, 2004 8:59 pm

Tartan (6) vs. North St. Paul (6) By far our worst game of the year, we definately weren't ready. I scored right at the buzzer in the 3rd period to tie the game or else we would have lost (hat trick for me<img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... tongue.gif ALT=":b"> ). Usually when we play North it is high intensity (they are our rivals) and we judged them to be a cakewalk looking at their record, which we were wrong undoubtedly. CoachGuy, some advice - you guys really shouldn't take them lightly. There record doesn't give them any credit, they're pretty quick and right now there goalie is hot. We out shot them 37-22. By the way, thanks for the comments on the SSP tourney. Too bad we couldn't continue it into our game tonight...

NTaylor · Post by **NTaylor** » Mon Jan 12, 2004 9:12 pm

the tartan team didn't play well at all. they did score 3 goals that where called off. they need to play better deffense and learn how to take the body more. the goalie didn't play that good either. he let in the first 2 shots of the game.

CoachGuy · Post by **CoachGuy** » Mon Jan 12, 2004 9:21 pm

thanks for the advice mjbtartan, sounds like you guys just had a bit of a let down after a big weekend. I'm sure your coach will get you guys back on track though. You'll have to jump on tomorrow night again and let me know how Wessys is. We have a very similar schedule this week, so let me know how you turn out and we will see you friday night out at the super rink. You guys play right after us.

freighttrain · Post by **freighttrain** » Tue Jan 13, 2004 1:13 am

I would also like to know about Wessys too. We got them friday night down at the albert lea tourney.

SLP Coach · Post by **SLP Coach** » Tue Jan 13, 2004 8:36 am

That suprises me about the N. St. Paul team, although I know that they played tough against WBL-Black as well in a close 2-1 loss. We play them next week Wednesday at home, sounds like it should be a good game. Ya know, Tartan, that is probably a good game for you guys. I'm sure that it will only make you come and play hard every game and not overlook anybody for the rest of the season.

RinkRat22 · Post by **RinkRat22** » Tue Jan 13, 2004 1:35 pm

What can you tell me about Tonka? They seemed to have picked it up after a stumble early. We play them this weekend and I was wondering what you've heard?

BVILLEJRGOLD · Post by **BVILLEJRGOLD** » Tue Jan 13, 2004 1:45 pm

What can you guys tell me about SSP Jr. Gold B? We play them in a tourny this weekend. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

SLP Coach · Post by **SLP Coach** » Tue Jan 13, 2004 2:39 pm

BVILLEJRGOLD~ I don't really know a whole lot about any of the Dist 8 teams. However, I have heard that SSP is probably the 2nd best Dist 8 team, right behind Hastings. For the most part they are a good bunch of skaters, therefore my guess would be that you can keep them in check with a slower moving physical (clean) game. As long as your goalie continues to play well, I would think that you'll have a very good game on your hands. The IGH coach on this board could probably give you a better idea, they just beat them 3-1 in the SSP Tourney. Rink Rat~ First, I appreciate the "competitive banter" on the other thread. Nothing personal, pretty much just fun'n'games.....ya know. We're all competitive or we wouldn't be involved in the great sport of hockey. As far as Tonka goes, they have been picking things up more and more as the year goes on, as you stated. They have won all their MHL games in Jan.....so far. My thought is that many of them probably didn't play much over the summer and they are starting to get the 'rust' off of their skates now that they have played for a while. If they are anything like Tonka teams from the past, they will be strong in the corners and work well as a team, moving the puck up ice. Things could be different this year, however, seeing from their earlier struggles. Maybe the majority of the players haven't played together much growing up in Youth Hockey. (please see Rink Rat's discription below - this portion has been edited to reflict his post)- That would make much more since being that BAA was in the lower tier while Tonka was in the upper tier. They were in the Wayzata Tourney and played a tough Omaha team and lost 3-5, then played Moundsview Green (who must be playing better each game) and lost 3-4 in OT and then took 7th place whooping BAA 7-1.

Hey BVILLEJRGOLD, i am the IGH coach SLP was talking about. They have a strong team. We lost to them 2-1 and then beat them 3-1. If you want to shut them down you need to stop #13 for them. They try and sneak him as their 3rd line center. If you can shut him down and get up on them they will struggle. They crash the net really hard and well thats were most of their goals come from. Another thing about #13 is that he likes to go wide around the Dmen. He rarely goes to the middle. He will drive to the outside to beat the Dman and then come in on the goalie and he likes to go high with that shot.

RinkRat22 · Post by **RinkRat22** » Tue Jan 13, 2004 4:07 pm

SLP, I have to clarify one thing that was mis-stated on the Wayzata website. Tonka lost to a JGA Omaha team and then to Mounds View Green team in OT and then BAA in the Toliet Bowl. I was at the Tourney and saw it. It's ok, we don't expect you to know everything with all that "Club Hockey" you played. After that, I would like to know more about NSP. How did they play with a great team such as Tartan?? As it looks, they play well only vs their rivals (WB & Tartan)?! Or did Tartan really play that bad??

BVILLEJRGOLD · Post by **BVILLEJRGOLD** » Tue Jan 13, 2004 4:17 pm

Thanks for the Info. Do you know what SSP's record is in league play? Are the comperable to a Hastings or Lakeville? Do they have 3 Solid lines and good goalies? Let me know if you can. Thanks again BVILLEJRGOLD -

SLP Coach · Post by **SLP Coach** » Tue Jan 13, 2004 4:32 pm

Yeah, well for the most part teams in the Midwest from outside MN and W. WI, that have Varsity teams play Jr Gold A and JV teams play Jr Gold B. I can't really speak for the Omaha team or too many Nebraska teams for that matter but that is how it works in the Iowa High School Hockey League when they come to play in MN tourneys. (The league that most of the teams from IA, NE, SD, and some IL teams play in, so I've heard) It's good that you don't expect me to know everything, because guess what? I don't know everything. All it is possible to know is from experience and education. As you can see, I've got nothing to hide. How bout you?

freighttrain · Post by **freighttrain** » Tue Jan 13, 2004 6:10 pm

They are 8-1 in district 8 so far. Their only loss in league play is to Hastings 4-2 and they play them again tomorrow. They have three lines that can score but #13 is their biggest threat and their goalie is pretty good and can be tough if he is on that night. But right now they are struggling. They got some problems with players fighting with eachother. Plus they are starting to take alot of dumb penalties now which they werent earlier in the year.

coach guy sucks · Post by **coach guy sucks** » Tue Jan 13, 2004 10:47 pm

tartan (7) vs. wessy boys (1) shots tartan (55) and wb (10) they are not a very good team. they have a few kids that can skate pretty fast. don't have any kids that can shoot the puck to well. their goalie kept the game a lot closer than it should have been. he isn't that good but he is big and takes up the whole net.

MNHockeyObserver · Post by **MNHockeyObserver** » Wed Jan 14, 2004 1:11 am

OK, I'm more confused than before. Watched a little of SLP/Mtka and was not impressed by the Mtka team I had been hearing about. Let's hope it was an off night. Didn't watch enough to evaluate SLP, but SLPC, your guys looked like they were doing just fine. Maybe it'll keep coming together like you want. Then I went over to what the Rat - not Ken Linesman - refers to as the Land of Too Many Hockey Players. Damn Varsity was whooping up on Jefferson, so I had to park near Chaska (. . . as in way out in BFE!) I watched EP-Red dominate the game against WBL-Orange and each time they would go ahead, their goalie would let in a soft one for WBL to tie it up. Finally their goalie settled down and they bulit a nice lead for a 7-3 win over WBL-O. The start of that game was delayed, so it was about 10p when EP-Black and Elk River took the ice. 2 minutes into the game I thought it was over when Elk scored quickly and easily. I expected Elk to blow them out as we had Elk ranked first and WBL-O had beaten EP-Black and now EP-Red had beaten WBL-O. Elk and Black swapped control of the overall play, but Black didn't get many scoring chances or quality shots. Elk went ahead 2-0 early in the third and Black was not getting many more opportunities. They did get a short-handed tally just after Elk scored to cut the lead back to one at 2-1. With 2 minutes on the hour clock, Elk took a penalty and Black pulled their goalie to skate 6-4. 12 seconds later they put one in to tie it. Apparently after they tied it up the arena agreed to let them play the game out 'til the end and Elk agreed. A couple opportunities and Elk hit the crossbar on one, but it ended 2-2. Not sure which EP team is better now, but I am still going with Red and their 7 goal firepower tonight. I'll be watching more of these team though.

BVILLEJRGOLD · Post by **BVILLEJRGOLD** » Wed Jan 14, 2004 8:26 am

From what I heard WB Orange had a few of their better player out with either sickness or just gone for one reason or another. That score suprised me. We have played both teams and WB Orange is a more complete team (or so it seemed). I'm just saying it might be a different story if the two meet up again. -Freighttrain - Thanks for the help. I think we will give SSP a run for their money. I think Elk River will be a good tune-up for us tonight! BVILLEJRGOLD

BVILLEJRGOLD · Post by **BVILLEJRGOLD** » Wed Jan 14, 2004 9:00 am

What's the scoop on Elk River? Anybody played them or see them play? They're obviously pretty good 12-0-1. BVILLE

SLP Coach · Post by **SLP Coach** » Wed Jan 14, 2004 9:20 am

I must say that a 7-3 score suprises me too. We have played both teams as well. And WBLO was 2-1 after two......EPR was 2-0 after two periods (scoring w/ 3 secs left in the 2nd on a breakaway) EPR stepped it up much more than WBLO in the 3rd period (it also helped that our team pretty much dropped off the ice for that period too). EPR beat us 7-0 (scoring 5 in the 3rd) ---- WBLO beat us 4-1. Both teams looked really good to me, but I would have never expected either team to win by 4 goals.

MNHockeyObserver · Post by **MNHockeyObserver** » Wed Jan 14, 2004 9:37 am

SLP - How about your showdown with Tonka? BraveGuy - Are you as unhappy about this whole Blaze-thing as I am? Elk River has about 20-25 players on their roster, so their bench looks ridiculous. I noticed last night and heard previously that they are notorious for shortening the bench to just two lines. But those 10 guys are very good. They have some big shooters, especially from the points. Their 2nd goal last night was an absolute uppper-corner blast from the point during a man-advantage. Their goaltending looked very shaky in warmups and on EP's 2nd goal, but EP didn't seem to get a lot of good offensive opportunities last night. #31 played in goal and he seemed to have perfected the art of flipping an incoming shot over the glass into the netting to stop play. He is huge and takes up a lot of the net, but doesn't move very well and seem to drop down quite a lot. On the other end, EP just kept the Elk forwards to the outside and kept the puck out of the middle. If you have some shooters on your squad you have a good chance of doing very well against them.

Thanks for the info. And yes the Blaze thing pisses me off. It was much cooler when we were the Braves. Anyways, It should be a pretty good game tonight. We need to come out of the gates strong. I have heard good things about Elk River. Are you a coach in the area here? BRAVESCOACH
