Making sense will get you nowhere in this thread breakout.breakout wrote: Goalie is the most important position on a team........correct? Not only that Burnsville lost their best D to graduation. Shut down their top line and you shut down Burnsville. That will be the coaching strategy of every coach that goes up against them.
Yes, from Edina, went to STA, and now back to Edina.MNRinkRat wrote:When did Edina get Anders Lee? Is he originally from Edina? Or is he just trying to go to a team that has a good chance at winning a state championship? What's the story?
Classic Circlewatcher. Who's going to be sucked into this one?HShockeywatcher wrote:As much as I'd love one for the private school community, Edina is close enough to one, I think Edina will make it. Edina and Holy Angels could easily both make it to the section finals both with a 0 in the L column. It's very possible, since Edina opted down from the top Schwan's division. The only team standing in the Stars' way is Shattuck.

HS teams are represented in EL #'s
Edina 7 players
H-M 6 players
Holy Angels, Rosemount, Cent., Anoka, Roseau, all with 4 players.
Having 4 players with invites to the Elite League (including Belisle with 98 career points and EL veteran D Lesmeister)...then throw in a 6"4" 205lbs D (Campbell) and a 6'1 215lb D (Manthey) who were top 4 D last year and a returning goalie (Wells) who started 13-14 varsity games last year...provides a good start to answering CNT's question.
I wouldn't get too wrapped up in how many kids your team has or has not participated in EL, like the market, current projection cannot ensure future success.hockey59 wrote: HS teams are represented in EL #'s

Barnes is an average playerjiffylube131 wrote:just cause they lost there best defensemen doesnt mean they arent better... did every other team in the state discussion other than prolly roseau not lose if not there best player one of them? also not only barnes but the lake points champion jake hendrickson and his 70+ points in the LAKE are coming back..
I disagree, Barnes is a solid player that has a scoring knack. He should have a very good year this year.flatontheice wrote:Barnes is an average playerjiffylube131 wrote:just cause they lost there best defensemen doesnt mean they arent better... did every other team in the state discussion other than prolly roseau not lose if not there best player one of them? also not only barnes but the lake points champion jake hendrickson and his 70+ points in the LAKE are coming back..

This season is about the big green 3. I've got Edina ahead by a nose.
Did you forget who took you to state............Your GOALIE! He got hot at the right time. Holy Angels peppered your squad in the Conference Championship game.jiffylube131 wrote:just cause they lost there best defensemen doesnt mean they arent better... did every other team in the state discussion other than prolly roseau not lose if not there best player one of them? also not only barnes but the lake points champion jake hendrickson and his 70+ points in the LAKE are coming back..
Burnsville lost one impact player-big defenseman #12. They will be better than you think. Plus, they just got a goalie transfer. Don't count them out just yet.flatontheice wrote:Eden Prairie wins the Lake..hands down. Burnsville wont be that good.

I agree Barnes can have a scoring knack at times but doesn't play a complete game and needs to improve his skating. From what I hear he is getting some looks but nothing serious yet. I will push it so far as to say he is slightly above average due to his ability to score in streaks. More coaches will know where he is this year, wont be as easy.breakout wrote:I disagree, Barnes is a solid player that has a scoring knack.

Barnes dominated a team that most considered to be the best in the state at the time he played them - AHA. He looked better than Matson, Brutlag, Polacek, and whoever else you want to name. If that's average to you, lord help your club.flatontheice wrote:Barnes is an average playerjiffylube131 wrote:just cause they lost there best defensemen doesnt mean they arent better... did every other team in the state discussion other than prolly roseau not lose if not there best player one of them? also not only barnes but the lake points champion jake hendrickson and his 70+ points in the LAKE are coming back..
