Every section should have a tournament at the end of February. All the winners could meet for a state-wide tournament in early March. The winner would be called the #1 team in the state. If this were done we could avoid many threads of retarded comments.

They actually did that up until about 1990 when they decided that each section would hold two tournaments and threw a monkey wrench in the whole process

Agreed! I think you may be on to something there!

Strongly disagree... you clearly haven't been around here long enough. If you were, you'd know that this will never happen. There's always something.
If all you guys have to rip on is Roseau's schedule, we know the Rams are good. Your arguments are fair, Roseau's schedule is pretty weak. That doesn't mean they're not the best team. It's their schedule, been the same for years, get over it. Champs in 90', 99', and 07' with virtually the same schedule. Roseau is about as far north as you can get in this state, so they play local teams. It's a ranking, it doesn't matter! Do you understand that or no? Roseau could be ranked 24th, which means diddly squat, that's why they play the games. The metro area has good teams this year, like every other year in the past. Edina and Tonka are very good teams this year and will be a very tough match up for the Rams. Roseau is solid though, probably a better team than the championship team last year, so to write them off because of their schedule is pretty dumb IMO. I hope the Edina players take the Rams just as lightly as you are, because they'll get dominated if that's the case. I'm just a flannel brain though. Calling yourself sophisticated in a hockey forum sounds like you might listen to a lot of Elton John on your hockey trips.
