Previewing the State Tourney SEEDS - 2/28

elliott70 · Post by **elliott70** » Thu Feb 28, 2008 3:59 pm

How tough can the cidiot teams be?
Minnetonka could not even get by Benilde.

I think some give themselves (albeit via a surrogate) way too much credit.

No wonder some of those little peewees get such an attitude!

St Thomas is how good?
Let's ask the Hilltoppers.
Who won the state last year?
Some little A school playing in the state AA finals the last two years.

See you at the Liffey boys, and we'll show you how the world looks from under the table.

Roseau played many teams that are weaker than SSP.

Kinda shot yourself in the foot on that one, eh?
Name ONE??

Roseau had the 8th toughest schedule in MSHS hockey this season.

Ill name more than one:

LOW, Farmington, Hibbing(a tie), EGF, Bemidji, Crookston, River Lakes and maybe more.

Any other questions?

This is an example of something that can be taken in a number of different ways.

I, for one, will withhold comment.

But were talking about whats been proven here, and not because "watchdog or BIAFP says". To say Roseau is #1 is an opinion, and its arguable due to a less than stellar SOS. And one thing I know about packerboy is that if its arguable, he will argue it. It just so happens I agree with him.
You are right Neut but all seriousness aside, I am not saying Roseau shouldnt be #1 just to be difficult or argue something. I really dont believe that they deserve it.

If Edinas was 19-6 or something, fine but they lose 2 games by one goal each to BSM and Tonka and so that puts them at #2 because Roseau is undefeated with that schedule. Bullship.

TWO losses - enough said regardless of schedule.

Sure strength of schedule will be discussed - so will many other considerations. You're only point is Roseau should be seeded lower because of schedule ALONE - weak in my opinion.

Trust me Hook, with these clowns, your first thought was correct!

Pawlenty should officially declare St Paul to be renamed Gettysburg from Weds through Sat.

I'll drink to that above the table of course. None of the funny Northern stuff.

The Rams are the defending champions with zero losses. How could they not be #1? Until someone beats the champ they deserve the #1 seed. It's that simple.

Compelling discussion regarding the #2 seed. I think Edina should get it over BSM despite the Christmas loss. Edina has one less loss.

Question: Could BSM move over to the Classic Lake? It's a good school; sports are good. It's in the neighborhood. Why not? Obviously, they had nothing to do with the "classic" part of the Classic Lake. (That's not a rip on not being classy.) But there's only 5 teams.

Interesting thought. I would bet that they might like their current conference affiliation a bit better speaking of strength of schedule

Agreed! Usually head-to-head means more to me not this time cause I'm from Edina, but Edina has been ranked ahead of BSM all year and played a very hard schedule.

And I'll buy you one as long as you can stay above the table.

Heck, I might even buy Angus one or two.

All 8 coaches will vote Roseau the #1 seed, it's a no-brainer. People have their opinions and are pretty passionate about it, but i doubt the coaches will seed Roseau #3 because of Packerboy's opinion. Actually, i think at least 7 of the 8 coaches would laugh at Packerboy's opinion.

No, at least 8 of the 8 coaches would laugh at that opinion

packer boy i said roseau schedule would be weaker if we played ssp. i wasnt wrong. other than the bottom few we played you take out a vast majority and add ssp schedule is weaker.

who cares i only have to wait alittle over a week now.

Svenster · Post by **Svenster** » Thu Feb 28, 2008 8:07 pm

No matter how you slice the seeding, Roseau and Edina will be in different brackets. There is no way any of the following is going to happen:

#1: Roseau
#2: XXX
#3: XXX
#4: Edina

or

#1: Edina
#2: XXX
#3: XXX
#4: Roseau

or

#1: XXX
#2: Edina
#3: Roseau
#4: XXX

or

#1: XXX
#2: Roseau
#3: Edina
#4: XXX

I see a Green and White versus Green and White State Championship Game coming our way...

Svensta,

I believe that 2&3 are in the day bracket and 1&4 in the evening. (according to what I read on MSHSL.org)

Take yo' pick: Blaine/Cenennial/Anoka
other half of Section 5 (Centennial/Blaine) and 7 (Cloquet/Anoka)
Rosemount/Woodbury
Lakeville N or S

There is a good chance Benilde gets seeded #3 and they swap with Hill-Murray. B-SM owns wins over Shattuck, Minnetonka, and Edina - very impressive.

IF White Bear beats Hill-Murray it looks a little different.

1. Roseau
2. Edina
3. Benilde-St. Margaret's
4. Centennial/Blaine winner or Anoka, if they beat Cloquet

if hill loses it will be

1. Roseau
2. Edina
3. Benilde
4. Centennial/Blaine winner
