Sorry I'll never accuse you of sarcasm again ppgPlaying Tartan is a good/bad situation. The good thing is this will now put to rest that Hill doesn't play any powerhouse programs. Bad thing is that this will now likely end our undefeated season. Damn Titans!
I really doubt it'll shake up much of anything.ImissMYhockey wrote:my jaw hit the floor when I saw the score. I heard hill didn't come to play and that is why they lost. They kept making mistakes and the titans were able to capitalize.One thing is for sure is that this game could really shake things up come section time
We all expect that, and we also expect Hill to LOSE 2 and out againAnd Tartan continues this year and finishes with a great .500 record, and Hill makes the state tournament, and nothing that happened today matters.
According to Pointstreak.com, Hill-Murray outshot Tartan 47-15.Hillfan wrote:Typical Tartan fan already on the board...Shouldn't you be out celebrating? Afterall, it was a "manhandling", sure victory from the start..
Wasn't at the game, but heard H-M didn't come ready to play. Even though this was the case, I was told shots were handled by the Pioneers (something like 46-13). This tells me Tartan's goalie must have been on and H-M's must have had an off day.
Don't get too excited about this one, thor. Where it really counts is section time.
Upsets are bound to happen. Although Pioneer fans "cringe" at the thought of losing (especially in the Classic Suburban), it may have been a good time to do it. This should supply a reality check for the boys in green. In other words, it should help them focus better on each and every game rather than just the WBL's and Holy Angels' of the world.
By the way, this loss doesn't prove that they are overrated in anyway. It just proves that anyone in this league can be beat. The Pioneers are still 5-1, have scored 48 goals in 6 games, and are still favored in the section at this point. One upset won't change that.
Good luck the rest of the way, Pioneers!
I don't think there is anyway that Tartan could have totally dominated play like you seem to think they did, for two periods, when they ended up getting outshot by 32thorhockey wrote:lucia4pres wroteWe all expect that, and we also expect Hill to LOSE 2 and out againAnd Tartan continues this year and finishes with a great .500 record, and Hill makes the state tournament, and nothing that happened today matters.
They are over rated , for crying out loud their jv team could have beat em
What matters in todays win is that alot of teams come in scared and play on their heals - Not the Titans We outplayed Hill the first 2 periods. It was obvious that Tartan wanted it more. Harwood stood on his head in the 3rd and I have to hand it to Hill they were better conditioned. The boys in blue were gassed
GOOD GAME HILL YOU GAVE IT YOUR ALL
Hill had 21 shots in the third. Like I said hill was better conditioned and tartan was gassed. Give me a little room for bragging, exaggeration and sarcasm you Hill fans do it all the time (ie pioneer"notso"prideguy, pioneer, etc). The Hill boys would admit it was pretty even through the first 2I don't think there is anyway that Tartan could have totally dominated play like you seem to think they did, for two periods, when they ended up getting outshot by 32
That was a different goalie (sophmore) today was their senior. I was at the game. Tartan in no way dominated any facet of this game. They got an early lead and held on for dear life. Outstanding goaltending and some lucky bounces...the recipe for all upsets like this. Hats off to Tartan, they are a young club and looked pretty damn good today. They seem to have goaltending and a lot of young players getting a lot of playing time. Also some really solid older players. Junior Ryan Abrahmson is really good. Hill is the much better team...no doubt. If they didnt come to play...shame on them. I know this a lot of Hill players were crying when they left the arena. Probably cuz practice on Monday aint gonna be fun.Zamman wrote:The best part about sports is there are always upsets, they happen....I know it. But the season is young ang I am sure that HM will bounce back. I watched Tartan play against Richfield on Thursday and it seems as though their goalie played real well. Congrats to them, but remember that the season has just started.
Stop it Neutron. If Hill would have beat Tartan by 8 like they should have you'd have said they were a patsy too. The thing that is easy to forget is these are high school kids. They have days they don't play well. They have games the should never lose that they do. This can happen to anyone. I still like my squad and they they can beat anyone in the state. We'll get a much better idea of where Hill stands after they play WBL one week from today and the Schwann cup after that...Neutron 14 wrote:I'd start a thread using the F-word but admin would just nuke it. A wise man said scheduling non-conference games like Park wouldn't help. You just can't play patsy after patsy and expect to turn it on when ever you want.
On one hand this loss will help the kids rededicate themselves. On the other hand teams will not be awestruck and more motivated also.
Thanks ppg appreciate the classy responseCongrats Titans, round one goes to you
