[tomASS]

would like to believe icebreakers prediction, but the way the Chaska boys are playing I think blueblood's might be more accurate.

[HockeyGuru#6]

i think that chaska will come around and win this tourny and get some confidence before playoffs

[ice00breaker]

Yeah, its almost impossible to predict the way Chaska will play, I can see them dominating everyone but I can also see them making it to the Toilet Bowl.

[Letsrepresent19]

one thing to say.

im ready..

[tomASS]

one thing to say.

im ready..

sorry to be a pest meeeee boy

But remember; actions always speak louder than words - let your passing, skating, checking, back checking, shooting, and making your teammates around you better speak loud and clear.

WBL orange will be an extremely good team that wants to earn more respect.

I hope you are!

[wild06]

i agree
letsrep19 listen to tomass hes alot wiser than u
u need to BACKCHECK,PASS,SKATE and have EFFORT the whole game usually u just shoot
its about the front of ur jersey not the back

WHITE BEAR LAKE ORANGE- 6

CHASKA- 4

[stabears]

#19 is very fast and very cheap

[tomASS]

Same as under the B1 review:

Blueblood is the new Jimmy The Greek

White Bear Lake Orange 6
Chaska 4

WBL scores 3 on first 5 shots of the game to start the game 3-0
Two were on 3-1 odd man rushes and one was on a breakaway.
The other goals were on a 2-0, a point blank shot from a man wide open in the slot, and the final goal on a stop made on another point blank shot with the rebound slammed home.

Chaska did have 3 clankers of the metal and 2-3 wide open shots go wide (but I don't think those go on scoreboard do they)

Chaska found it difficult skating and passing with the severe aerodynamic drag from some large heads slowing them down tonight.

WBL came ready to play, out skated the Hawks most of the game and what was really impressive was the way they played the body. There were more perfectly executed finishes of body checks tonight than I have seen all year. Good clean hard checks where the player took the right angle and just made sure the check seperated the man from the puck.

WBL earned the victory over a Chaska team that did not even come close to resembling the team from Tuesday night. Guess it was the ugly sister's turn to play tonight.

Congrats WBL well done! We needed that lesson taught to us tonight.

Hopkins 3, Anoka 1

I wouldn't say that Jefferson has a cake-walk, they produce with a
ice-pounding first line of 2nd years and their second and third lines are just above average when they aren't on their game. When they all come to play, I don't think anybody except good ol' Edina could hold them back. Chaska for sure hasn't improved to the degree that these boys have. It's the self confidance and focus they seem to lack on bad days.

From what I saw at the Midwest tourney, these are fantastic skaters (#13, #8 and #18 for forwards and #17 and #19 on d). These guys have more passion and skills on this team than the Bantam A team....but unfortunately the Jaguar program is infiltrated with political aspirations of father's who can afford buying off the coaches. This isn't something new, just more exposed in my estimation. Whatever happen to names on the jerseys for the blue-crew...I like the new "old" style jerseys but I miss the names.

Speaking of coaches - who are these young guys on the bench? I haven't seen them before this year, but I love the passion and 'old school' style coaching I've seen out of them. They aren't afraid to get in the face of bad ref'ing...which I sure saw at the Edina game (but yes, the Hornets outskated them handily).

When does Jefferson play this weekend? I'd like to catch a few games to see if my money is where my mouth is.

[dirtydangler13]

tomorrow (today actually since it is 12:09) jefferson plays at 11:30,anyone is welcome to come watch the game and hopefully see them pull another W.

[ohMY]

#19 appears to be fast because he starts every transition from "d" to "o" at the red line. That's not fast, that's just a head start. With one hand on the stick almost all the time, fairly easy to knock the puck off him. For that matter, fairly easy to knock him off the puck too.

[wild06]

i agree he is fast cuz he has so much energy stored up from gliding so when he gets the puck he trys and then he looks fast

ive seen him a few times and hes good when he trys but he doesnt try when he doesnt hav the puck

[theoneandonly]

Jefferson 5, Hokins 0

[tomASS]

Chaska 5
Hermantown 2

Open net goal for the 5th one.

Chaska played the same uninspired sloppy hockey as last night.

Hermantown's goalie had an excellent game and 2-3 stops that were
ESPN top 10 worthy.

Early in the first WBL was up 1-0 over Eagan.

[stabears]

wbl- 5
eagan- 3
wbl demolished them first period, then let back in the second, forchecked really well in the third to win the game
wbl played kinda sloppy but found a way to put the puck in the net
