It's the "David vs Goliath" concept that I'm talking about.Zeke16 wrote:I don't get the big draw for this game. The AA title game has way more interest for me that some "scrimmage" after the state tourney.
A vs AA for the big one

david /goliath
Not necessaily David/Goliath.
If the Rams win the AA(which is possible) and the Warriors win A(which is possible) you would have a David/David game, but it should certainly not be played in the Metro area.
The Ralph in Grand Forks would be a very suitable site even if AHA played Edina. Let the Metro fans travel and fill the hotels for one game.

hawkfan, although I have no idea what you're talking about, I know you're referring to me. Not sure why though, because I'm always the one who says "they aren't played on paper that's why we play the game" and other sorta stuff like that.
One thing you all are forgetting is what the State Tournament is. It is a 64 team bracket where the one team that is crowned champion is the one who did no lose in any of the 6 games they played. On average AA teams are better, so how does the A team who beat 6 A teams all of a sudden get to play the team who beat 6 AA teams? It doesn't prove anything either. Good A teams have beaten good AA teams. If the AA team won, people would say that's what should happen, and if the A team won people would make excuses and say it was lucky or something like that.
Two different classes cannot be compared.

This is very simple. There is a topic for recruiting. Want to talk about it? Do it there. That particular topic was created to keep that crap out of all the other topics. Any posts I see in other topics where someone plays the R word will be deleted. If an individual keeps it up and doesn't get the message, they're gone.Stiches3507 wrote:What the heck...why was the delted...cuz i said recruit...everyone knows they do...why try to hide it...gosh...that was a serious post...ugh...w.e

The problem is simply that 9 times out of 10 the AA school will crush the A champ (exception of the '05 Warriors). If your an A school and you make a trip to state and win, that is the greatest feeling in the world of hockey. It's not right to completely demoralize that team a week later when AHA (recruits and all) kick the living crap out of them. I'm all for moving up to AA to play with the best, and the whole single A vs. AA championship game, but it's never gonna happen.
I think they should just have a 16 team tourney, make it really interesting. Then teams like Warroad, St. Thomas, and Duluth Marshall can really show what they're made of against the big dogs. Could make for some really interesting tournements. Just a thought

A true class a school would not compete due to the enrollment size, unless they had a bunch of kids that were very talented stay together and pull off an upset. Now the class A school that seems to pick up these talented players and run around beating up small schools might do it. We all know who they are. Never happen.
