I BELIEVE THAT MINNETONKA, EDEN PRAIRIE,JEFFERSON AND EAGAN AND A FEW OTHER TEAMS NEED TO BE INCLUDED IN THIS CONVERSATION.
Lets look at this
WBL lost to EP (4-3) (WBL also beat EP in the tonka tourney)
Jefferson has lost to EP Twice (1-0 and 2-1)
Eagan has lost to EP (2-0) Dont quote me on this score
Jefferson Tied B'ville (3-3)
Jefferson Beat Eagan (2-0)
Tonka Beat B'Ville (4-2)
Eagan Beat WBL (2-1)
Eagan beat B'ville (4-3)
Eagan Beat Tonka (2-0)
AND THESE TEAMS ARE NOT IN THIS POLL. AGAINST YOUR TOP 4 ALL WERE BEATEN BY AT LEAST ONE ON THIS LIST. And Bville and WBL both beat edina.
THere are about 8 top teams so far...

look at who EP has played in the metro its been a joke and there loss was to Champlin. Who i personally is at the same skill level as Andover and Anoka. EP's scores havent impressed me at all when they play Edina, Wessys, and Jefferson and beat them then they can be on a top junior gold A list but right now beating a weak wayzata team this year and losing to a pathetic pathetic pathetic champlin team then they can get some credit.
EP did beat jefferson twice i see but i have heard they lost there goalie to JV and EP is only averaging 3 goals a game.....seems they dont have the same offense of last year.....so once a again once you can start average 5 goals a game like wessys and 6 goals a game like edina....you can stop complaining about EP not being up there.
I agree Lance. EP needs to play Wessys or Edina or B'ville and win. Although i don't agree they need to score 6 goals a game to do it. Some team do it with scoring and others win with defense and hard work. SO lets let EP play their way into the top. BUT you must agree that TONKA AND EAGAN AND JEFFERSON NEED TO BE INCLUDED.lance wrote:EP did beat jefferson twice i see but i have heard they lost there goalie to JV and EP is only averaging 3 goals a game.....seems they dont have the same offense of last year.....so once a again once you can start average 5 goals a game like wessys and 6 goals a game like edina....you can stop complaining about EP not being up there.

Basically there seems to be a group of 8 or 9 teams in the metro that should be on this list. Edina, EP, Jefferson, Tonka, Centennial, Burnsville, Eagan, WBL, Wessys. With some of the scores I've seen I'd say Wessy's right now, although I haven't seen them play. Two big games tonight - EP at Tonka and Burnsville at Jefferson.

to be honest... edina and wessy's who are the top 2 teams according to metrohockeyleague they haven't played the tough teams.. they've only played the teams that get blown out thats why they have so many goals... so when they start playin the tough teams then put the ranks up... but there is a lot of teams who aren't on here who should be thats for sure...

Ya that puzzled me as well. But it looks like EP is not winning any games by blow out. SO i guess that is just their game. Surprising because in the past EP has always won with scoring teams. Well each group is different.puckhead77 wrote:I don't know about EP anymore. They only beat Andover by a goal?!! I'm not sure what happened there....
On a side note i noticed that the Jefferson B'Ville score was only 3-2. Therefore i stand by my earlier statement that not every "good" teams needs to score 6 goals a game as was stated by lance earlier.

you make a good point, but we (burnsville) played pathetic in the games you listed, but those teams who have beat us are good teamsJGACoach wrote:I BELIEVE THAT MINNETONKA, EDEN PRAIRIE,JEFFERSON AND EAGAN AND A FEW OTHER TEAMS NEED TO BE INCLUDED IN THIS CONVERSATION.

the andover team has had a tough time because of goalies - they started the season with a goalie that played c bantams last year (FYI he played vs. EP L3-1) then they found another one from Becker/Big Lake for 3-4 games and he struggled as well and quit. Now they have a senior that quit HS in the spring (some say to go out on his own terms) and he is a good goalie. they took third in moorhead beating moorhead and blaine. if you look at their website you'll see they seem to save their best hockey for the weekends!

Is there a way to put close this thread and converge the two Junior Gold A polls?
Lance, it would be wise to just close this one and make a last post referring all new posts to the other poll. The reason I state that is because the other poll includes a better list of teams and that is where these discussions ought to take place.
