Losses to Century 5-3(eng) and Lourdes (4-2).

'Handler, You're right, that's looks pretty solid to me.

yeah good point... 11 out of 13 is a great way to end the season. but 9 of the 11 teams they beat are under .500. just to throw that out there. a win is a win especially in section play, but i just wanted to throw that little statistic out there.

ZAMBONI,
If a loss is a loss, isn't a win a win?

ILOVELIFE23. As you can see, some of the Albert Lea people have what I call TUNNEL VISION. They don't look at things with reality. You are rite about there strenght of schedule and the weakness of it. For the future of albert lea hockey they should try and get more games with new prauge,northfield ,richfield and farmington. They had a home and away games with farmington the last two years and the results were albert lea won 5-6 and farmington won 5-0. I asked head coach Roy Nystrom why there not playing the Farmington team anymore and he told me that he did'nt like the Farmington head coach. I told him, You play the team not the coach. Also a few years ago he told me that none of the south metro teams would come to Albert Lea to play and now that they did he won't play them anymore??? Don't come crying to me that the southern metro teams will not come to albert lea to play anymore. 'EH'

Zamboni, you sure do talk to Roy Nystrom alot, are you guys neighbors? Maybe good friends? You have referenced many conversations with him, which means you guys must get along well.

With all of the inside information you have from conversations with him, how can you come on here and badmouth him, his program, his decisions and tactics on a weekly basis? Don't you think you'll lose your "insider information" from all your conversations if keep bashing him, his program and his players?

ZAMBONI · Post by **ZAMBONI** » Fri Feb 16, 2007 7:36 pm

PUCKHANDLER. When I talk hockey with coach nystrom it don't mean we always agree. I'am not a YES MAN to him like some of the others in town. I say it like it is. I'am in the reality of things and I don't sugar coat things either. If your good your good and if your ok your ok and if you suck you suck. I stay in the reality of things. If I'am part of a team and we get beat I'am not going to say it was this and that, we got beat.

I kinda feel sorry for Roy because he is a good coach and he's stuck down here in Albert Lea. Just think if he was to coach one of the top metro class AA teams with his skills and years of coaching. FUN 'EH'

Well ZAMBONI,
We finally agree. I tell it like it is too and you are a complete idiot.

Albert Lea may want to play more teams like you suggest, but that doesn't mean that they want to play Albert Lea. That's not a shot at AL but a matter of fiscal responsibility. Loureds is a perennial top 10 team and the only played 21 games not counting their tournament, more on the road than at home for the third time in four years. Scheduling is getting tougher and that's not going to change.

Albert Lea is a small town and even in the large metro schools very few have both wrestling and hockey teams playing at a high level year after year because they both need so many kids. Albert Lea has a good chance to have both in the state tournament this year and for both to be successfull. What Nystrom and Goodnature do, considering they're both competing for the same athletes, is nothing short of amazing.

ZAMBONI,
I have the utmost respect for Roy Nystrom and the entire coaching staff for AL. I don't agree with everything they do. The difference between me and you is that I show it in a much classier way than you ever have. Just becasue your son moved from AL to Farmington and then watched Jonny Breur lead the team to state twice in a row.

bigbabyblue · Post by **bigbabyblue** » Fri Feb 16, 2007 11:25 pm

Zamboni what was that like watching your kid move away from you and his old team go to state back to back years.....? why does it have to be AA? whats wrong with single A? i bet it is fun for him to develope a team that does not have a lot of kids come out for the team and a smaller town who doesnt have top 5 kids in the state transfer to his team every year... so maybe this is how he always wanted to coach EH?

U LIVE IN ALBERT LEA, WHY IS IT THAT ALL YOU DO IS BASH THIS TOWN AND THE TOWNS HOCKEY TEAM???

May I ask in a polite and classy manner why you disagree with Roy and always talk negative towards the team? Is there a player you just dont get along with? Is it jealousy?

slapnasty · Post by **slapnasty** » Fri Feb 16, 2007 11:30 pm

good call, i am pretty sure jealousy and mad that his kid moved away then the team his kid would have been apart of goes to the big tourny and his kids team (farmington) never did ya no you would be mad and disappointed to if that were to happen to you and your kid....and why do you bash on AL and then go work at the HS that you bash on 24/7..... i dont get it!! hmm..... (someone on methamphetamine?)

Just to state that 18 win and 7 losses all year isnt bad at all when you have injuries and line changes the majority of the games. You can argue that AL doesnt play tough enough teams, but look at the good teams they played. They were all close games, no blowouts all year long. Can't get much more solid than that. But sections is a different story. Anyone can upset anyone else throughout. It reminds me of the NCAA basketball tournament... does the favorite always win? No... Does it happen? Yes! So just sit back, watch, and complain later. Lets talk some hockey and not coaches or what happened in the past.

ITS PLAYOFF TIME!

tonight mankato west was the first team in 1a this year to beat faribault. pavak was playing in the junior varsity game which confused me a little bit. nevertheless west controlleld the play and did a good job on 5 on 5. powerplay was a little weak for west but helgeson wasnt a factor tonight. good way for west to end the regular season. something albert lea didnt accomplish this year... something to maybe think about.

something else to think about west lost to jm and mayo which AL swept them both and helgeson didnt play rite cuz US 17 and under team and pavek played JV so thats like sayin Austin beat west tonight but west didnt have litch, anderson,leivermen,trembley....thats about equal to helgeson and pavek not being there make for west to have a little advantage... rite?

stud-lee · Post by **stud-lee** » Sat Feb 17, 2007 1:42 am

big baby face blue. Helgeson played tonite against West. Non factor. Pavek did play JV as a punishment for some 10 minute misconducts in the past few games from what i have heard. Guess what, he had a 10 minute misconduct in the JV game

i know this is kind of old news but this is when the marshall player alledgedy was pushed into trembley at the west game....the only extended arms are those of the marshall player in trembley's face

Hey guys the regular season is behind us, time to start fresh on the ice and here as well. Anyone want to suggest who may bring the first upsets in the Section 1 tourney.

golfreak · Post by **golfreak** » Sat Feb 17, 2007 11:12 am

I'll take Waseca over East to start...

i got a question doesnt helgeson supposed to sit out 4 game suspension for playing with another hockey team during his HS season isnt that a rule or something or did he already sit 4 games?

I think some of you should start a new post. Maybe just a AL or West site?
On to section one things.
SCC 2 NU 1 Good game for NU heading into playoffs. They had chances to win it but came up short. They have another tough one today at Orono. Does anyone else play?

LetsPlayHockey · Post by **LetsPlayHockey** » Sat Feb 17, 2007 12:08 pm

I think Waseca over East is a good pick! However I wouldn't mind seeing East over Waseca just for the fact that East and AL would play again! I was at that game and it was pretty intense!
