I am glad he stayed in Alex... too much moving around. Stay with your friends and compete with the kids you grew up with.

If Alex stays out of the penalty box there is no way that the flyers stay with them 
If you only knew the power of the dark side!
AP the reason he said that is just based off the last game that was played. when it was 5 on 5 alex absolutely pounded LF. shots were something like 19-6 when it was even strength. Sperl played very well that game. I do agree if they stay out of the box they have a really good shot at winning. I think the second and third lines for alex are better. If alex can hold the hanos and that first line in check to something like 2 goals they have a good shot. Really looking forward to it.
Good luck holding the hanos in check bruceybruce06 wrote:AP the reason he said that is just based off the last game that was played. when it was 5 on 5 alex absolutely pounded LF. shots were something like 19-6 when it was even strength.

If that is the case they will have to do better than the 0.5 goals per game they are averaging against the Flyers this yearbruce06 wrote:....... If alex can hold the hanos and that first line in check to something like 2 goals they have a good shot.
I think it would be objective to say that Alex looked like the better team when they played in Alex, but LF still found a way to win. LF looked quite a bit better the first go round and has been much more consistent this season (longest win streak in class A).
Looking forward to a good game. If the Alex D can pitch a shutout or hold them to one goal they can win.... more than that and I can't see it happening.
The difference in the game in Alex that you refer to WAS totally attributable to penalties on Alex. LF scored both their goals on the PP, the first of which Alex was 2 men short. Take away those 2 penalties in less than 1 minute and it's Alex 1 - 0 over LF. LF has the Flying Hanowski brothers, and they can play, but I thinks Alex is deeper. Should be a great game if both teams show up to play and I think they will. Good luck to both.shins wrote:If that is the case they will have to do better than the 0.5 goals per game they are averaging against the Flyers this yearbruce06 wrote:.......

I am a little nervous for my boys from LF. I think they should win, but I just have a bad gut feeling. I hope I am wrong and we win big, but I don't see that happening.
I am picking LF 5-3 with an empty netter. I hope they come out and play with their pants on fire. Crush Alex's spirits in the first and then have their pure talent take over the rest of the game.

is that you cleo? (SCSUHUSKYFAN15)
I dont see why everyone thinks sperl is just going to fall apart every game, I mean 1-2 games a season he finishes horribly but for the last 3 weeks all i've heard on here is how sperl is going to Fall apart EVERYGAME and well it hasnt happened yet and i dont expect it to against Alex.
Alex wont be able to shut down the flyers offense, and in 2 games The Flyers have scored 7 goals to alex's 1, I think its going to be a repeat of the game plaied in Alex.
Flyers 4
Alex 1

First off Alex is not deeper than the Flyers at all the flyers are the deepest team in this section. Also I could see Alex beating Little Falls on the Alexandria ice but anywhere else in the state its LF by 2. Yes Hemminway is good but there have been a ton of good goaltenders beat by the Flyers. The Fergus vs LF matchup would make me a little more tense about the flyers taking the section because Fergus plays a physical game the type of game needed to beat the flyers. Alex doesn't play that type of hockey they rely on their goaltender which is what Apollo had planned to do against Little Falls and it obviously didn't work. This is the year that Ben Hanowski shows us what he is all about 7 goals in the first two games of the section and after Thursday night he will have 10 goals in the section tourney. Yes another hattie 
I just hope Alex can keep up and they must stay out of the penalty box and they better keep their eyes on the Hanos when they are on the powerplay too. 
Little Falls 5
Alex 3
Sorry Alex you may have to wait another year.

ok first off. Apollo is no where near as quality of team as alex or LF or whatever. So in order for them to win they did need to rely on their goalie. Alex has been playing good hockey as of late. Little falls has a long win streak yes but at this time that means absolutely nothing. Hemingway will need to play well in order to get a win. But if Alex stays out of the box I think the two teams are very even. Little falls has a better offense. Alex has better goaltending. Both teams defenses are equal. It will be a good hard faught game. Im expecting a 1 or 2 goal game that can go either way. Alex plays a harder schedule and has been battle tested all year. It prepares them for this part of the year.

scrimmages with warroad and roseau and grafton. brainerd twice, moorhead, very physical and rough bemidji team, can be good at times but physical, fergus 3 times now which is a physical team. Scrimmages are not games no but they are part of the season. and they dont play the MBA and DL and PC and wadena
Yes, mite-dad. Sperl has his moments and is still considered a good goalie. But Hemingway is a great goalie. He faces more shots than sperl faces. And the first game between alex and lf alex was in a big slump if you just look. The second game was very even, with hemingway giving up 2 pp goals. Sperl may have outplayed him in 1 game but overall I don think hemingway has to prove anymore that he is the better goalie.
By the way brucey Little Falls has also scrimmaged warroad, roseau, EGF and numberous other teams they always make a trip up north before the season starts. Also your points about playing phyiscal teams where is the comparison in this game LF plays a wide open offensive game not a tight checking game. LF is also very good with their sticks on defense i don't know how many times the defensemen poke away the puck on good scoring chances. Only one team has held Little Falls to one goal that was St. Cloud Cathedral. I doubt Alex will be able to do that if Alex had better defensemen they would most likely win this game but they don't. Hemminway better be ready to be peppered by a ton of shots. Like i said before Alex could beat LF on their home ice with the home team advantage but no where else.bruce06 wrote:scrimmages with warroad and roseau and grafton. brainerd twice, moorhead, very physical and rough bemidji team, can be good at times but physical, fergus 3 times now which is a physical team.

I'm just talking out my butt, cuz my mouth knows better. But you can't argue, head to head, Sperl has come out on top. And not because he faced fewer shots. Seems to me Alex outshot LF significantly in game 2. And where's Alex's offense going to come from? 1 goal in two games vs. the Flyers? Alex will have to play their best game of the year to beat the Flyers.

yes mite-dad. Little falls has a much better offense so hemingway sees alot more quality shots than sperl. Shots in that game were 29-21 and about 15 of LF shots were on pp and there pp is deadly all give them that. And shins. If you look at the strength of schedule page alex is ranked 21 spots higher than little falls. so yes they do have a harder schedule.
Everyone has there opinions. Little falls and alex are both good teams. I just dont like how some people like HasNoMoves says it will be a landslide. All in all it will be a great game and I can bet everyone cannot wait til 7:00 at the mac on thursday.
