If Brainerd loses to another weak opponent, it won't matter how they do vs CEC and East. The Warriors almost made me begin to think JLS 81 was right until the Forest Lake game, which proved Brainerd isn't there yet, and JLS 81 is as wrong as ever. Don't learn do ya boy!
The Wariors do need to be consistent to party in 7AA but all teams have their ups and downs. It only counts who's the best [and healthy] in February after Bowling. I'm going out on a limb to say the Warriors will be in the 7AA finals.

I think ol' GR19 has the beer goggles on, why else would someone fall for a 6'4" redhead with buck teeth like dangslow "Don't learn do ya boy"
Speakin' of goggles look for Landon to pitch another shutout tonight as the Worriors cruise past the Tiggers 5 to 0
final 5-2 tech. tech pretty much took it to brd tonight. brd took way too many penalties. i think it will be 1 and done come section time. 18 and 19 looked really good for tech.
19 is a sophomore Jared Maetche and 18 is a junior Alex Coulter. Coulter hasnt been playing well until the warroad game on saturday where he scored the lone goal and he had 4 goals against river lakes.
Wow. This is kind of an embarassing loss for Brainerd. Tech is a decent team and I'm not surprised by their victory. I'm just surprised by the score. Especially after Small Falls smoked Tech by the same score last week.
Brainerd has work to do - they have the skills (or so it appears) but need to get focused on what it takes to win! The game was officiated by father Gueido Sarduchi and a couple of his most loyal alter boys. They called an extremely tight game - tighter than sister mary elizabeth on the day she took her vows, if you know what I mean! I am not saying they called a bad game, although the sneezing and groping penalties were firsts for me! And, I don't think the calls were biased. Brainerd needs to get some power in their power play! Last night they were 1 for 8, actually 2 for 8 as Tech scored a man short goal on the brainerd power play. Of the 4 goals that Tech scored on the brainerd goalie, one was the above man-short goal, one was a 5 on 4 power play and 2 were 5 on 3 power plays. It's tough to win a game from the penalty box. If these are the new rules, the brainerd boys need to get their power play in order and capitalize on the opportunities that come their way.
It seems like Brainerd may have been overconfident. They were doing just enough to get by until Tech's hard work paid off early in the third and they never looked back. Congrats Tech on a deserved win.
Well brd only had like 3 checking from behind penalties. 1 they called behind the other 2 they gave crosschecks. their were some ticky-tack calls in their though, and i felt some blatant ones they missed.
Brainerd is missing their best defensemen, Jarred Hoppe. He missed the Fergus, forrest lake, and Tech game. Brainerd is not very deep on the blue line and miss Jarred alot. Hopefully he is back next week. they are a different team with-out him.

Are you just saying that because he is a key player or do you really think he is better than Drew Olson. I saw Olson play earlier this year and I thought he was outstanding.
Made the trip to see this game, especially Brainerd. One key player wouldn't have changed the outcome, Brainerd appeared to be a very average hockey club. From what I had read I thought Brainerd would dominate this game. Tech is without a doubt the better of the two teams. I was looking forward to seeing the game between Little Falls and Brainerd. Think I'll just save the gas and take in a metro game. Saw Little Falls play earlier this season. Can't see them having much of a problem winning this one.
Syd - Truth hurts, eh? That club from your hometown ends up breaking your heart every year - just wait until they lose the CLC crown to the Flyers this year as well as lose the head/head matchup vs them on 1-18-07. Any chance you, Ernie, Morris, 'Scout and Snake will be @ Sheps prior to the tilt? Looks like the Flyers 1st line is too much for anybody to handle..................................................................................................except for Virginia!
