Best Line In Lake Conference

[buddish4mrhockey]

Which line has been the most impressive so far this season?

[hockeyjunkie2]

I have yet to see EP, BJ, and Eagan play so I just went through looked at games and who was on the ice together correct me if I'm wrong on these lines.

Apple Valley- Fischer, Warner, Berens = 12 g, 6 a
Jefferson- Sirio, Knutson, Gallus = 9 g, 10 a
Eden Prairie- Rath, Hoffman, Gravelle = 7 g, 12 a
Burnsville- May, Pearson, Smyth = 12 g, 11 a
Eagan- Merchant, Markstrom, Thorn = 11 g, 10 a

Eagan- Merchant, Markstrom, Thorn = 11 g, 10 a

I think all the EP lines are pretty much the same
Erickson, McQuillian, McCartan 8g, 11a
Rogge, Rau, Wolfe 7g, 10a

Also for Jefferson there other line
Herbert, Knight, Dietzler- 11g 9a

[dynamicD]

Herbert, Knight, Dietzlar

This line has my vote for the next "2" years as the top line in the conference seeing that they are all juniors

[Papa Bergundy]

Herbert, Knight, Dietzlar

Does anyone know if Herbert plans on staying?

I don't know for sure but I would guess that he would stick around for next year.

Why would he leave?

[imbetterthenU]

faust and pauluk for jefferson are the best defensive pair and as far as herbert leaving its unlikely but you never know what will happen the outcome of this season will play into his decision i bet.

[str8upballin]

Top line in the state by far is lakeville north's Derek Wypyszynski, Derek Perkins, and Nick Altavilla. This is a fierce line and all have already commited to D-1 colleges.

Haha what colleges have they commited to?

[str8upballin]

Derek Perkins- University of MN-Duluth
Derek Wyp- St. Cloud State
Nick Altavilla- Western Mass State

[koho snipe]

western mass state is D1?

[hermy]

none of them are going d1. i have never heard of any of these guys

[scoreboard33]

Derek Perkins- University of MN-Duluth
Derek Wyp- St. Cloud State
Nick Altavilla- Western Mass State

Neither of those first two have committed and Western Mass State does not exist.

Why would he leave?

Herbert is expected to be playing for UMD in 2010, so if he stays for his senior year he will have no experience in juniors before college. Not saying he needs juniors, just an observation.

Never heard of any of the 3 mentioned players. And I noticed all of your posts in other topics are just hyping this line.

[Aaronnessisgod]

Jefferson's Sirio, Knutson, Gallus is tops.

Understand your point. Hopefully he stays, Bloomington is a talented team this year and next year they should have a good team.

10) TIE

My thought is the EP line of Rath, Hoffman and Gravelle are third liners and have to get their points on full strenght situations and are not given any power play opportunities. Eliminate power play points to figure out the best five on five lines in the Lake Conference. Scoring goals is all about opportunty and ice time.

any thoughts?

any thoughts?

Eliminating PP points is not the way to determine the "best" lines. The EP third line is a good one but they are a third line playing against other team's third lines. Do you think they would fare as well playing against their opponent's top line?
