However lets not forget that they do play in the Central Lakes Conference. The last few years have been tough for the CLC but any year now it could be a very tough conference, with Little Falls emergance as a threat and the probable surge of Sartell in time.
Little Falls does not get respect in the seedings because they are Little Falls, not Warroad, STA, St. Louis Park........get my drift. It would be no different if any team out of this section goes to state with a great record. If Little Falls were from the Twin Cities it would be a different story. Year in and year out watching the Lets Play Hockey polls is laughable, most of the pollsters in LPH polls have to be from the metro. I know that that poll is not used directly for the state tournement, but it is the exposure that it creates that matters.
First of all when has St. Louis Park ever been ranked or seeded anywhere?
My personal opinion (and I know there are plenty of people that disagree with me) is that if they were playing top tier A teams, like the ones from the metro, game in and game out they wouldn't have such a stellar record and they would not be making it to the state tournament. Sure they gave STA all they could handle at state last year but that was one game. I don't think they could play like that consistently. The reason that they're not ranked as high as you think they should be in the LPH polls is because they simply aren't as good as the teams in the metro. IMO
I think they could have consistently played that well. They played that well in three back to back to back games. Hano makes that penalty shot I think they would've won that being they would've had so much momentum with scoring all of those goals straight and having everyone except the uniformed cadets cheering for them.

When you say that that was only ONE game at state, i disagree. They went on to shut-out a very respectable Blake Team 5-0, and then they beat Mankato West 7-4 to take consolation.... Seems like they played 3 good games to me...

Section 6A final game between Alex and LF is going to be a hockey game let me tell you. These two teams share a great rivalry. Falls has been to the X before and Alex hasnt. I think this game is going to depend on a few things... Alex's senior players itchin for a trip to st paul., Hano and Hemingway vs. Sperl
The MAC will be packed to see these two respectable teams play some puck

Well lets just see first how the 22nd goes, and stranger things have happened at sections. Don't count your chicken's before the eggs are hatched buddy

Theres no chickens to count pal, Alex and Falls have played in section 6A finals for the past "several" years and this year both teams are closer than ever. These two teams dominate their section..the game should be a fun one to watch! As for the 22nd, it is not the game that really counts for either team, unless your looking at it from a seeding point of view but either way these two teams will meet in section finals and thats the game that matters

Upsets happen all the time, both teams need to get there first.

By "last several years" ....i guess several means last year huh????? to me several would indicate seven.....hmmm seems to me LF has went 4 times....beating Wadena, Alexandria, Fergus Falls, Alexandria....in that order....Its a good thing that Alex is so dominant in section play this year otherwise people may doubt that prediction.....

Guess time will just have to pass to get my point and predictions across. It will be Falls and Alex in section finals and it will be a nail biter
defense wrote:Man, you're sure going to be disappointed when Sartell takes Alex in the semi's.......then we would have a good finals....
Are you keeping up on your section 6A scores?... Alex 9 Sartell 0 @ Sartell Dec. 22nd
What's your point????
Using that logic, Alex should have smoked Little Falls.
In 2000-2001.....that section favorite was Detroit Lakes (section 4a now known as 6a). Detroit Lakes beat Fergus Falls 6-1 in Fergus. Later in the season Fergus Falls beat Detroit Lakes 6-1 at DL. 2001 Section 4a championship:Fergus Falls (record something like 9 and 14) 3, Detroit Lakes (record of approx. 20 - 5 and #1 seed) 2 in overtime.
Alex will probably not even play sartell in the sectional tournament. Sartell will probably be a 4 seed and play little falls in the semis. Besides The alex sartell game was so lop sided it was rediculous. Sartell had no scoring chances and got dominated in every aspect of the game. I think there is no question that alex and little falls will meet in the finals for the 3rd time in the 4 years that alex has been in this section.

Really? Who's the number 3 seed then???? Fergus Falls or St. Cloud Apollo are going to have to step it up.
I think section 6a this year is Little Falls, and any number of FF, Alex, Apollo, Sartell, giving chase.......Don't count out DL or Wadena for an upset.....you can't say for certain that any one of those 4 stands that far ahead. Alex has the edge now ...give it a month it will change...
how can you say that non of those teams stands ahead. Alex has a huge edge. The are on a 9 game winning streak ranked in the top 10 lost to little falls by one goal with it being a very even game shots 26-26. If they beat little falls on the 22nd they have just as good of chance at the number 1 seed. I would say alex and little falls stand way apart from everyone right now with a slight edge to little falls as of now

Exactly, "as of now".....give it a month and it all could change......Apollo may get hot, Fergus has switched it up in net, Sartell is still going to have a strong year.....
Lil' Falls looks like a great team again. I am just curious why their fans are uber defensive about Alexandria. Alex should get a little bit of credit for being a solid team, playing very well right now. Lil' Falls doesn't seem to want to give any credit, and in fact, seems to be rooting for any other team to knock off their only competition in the section... Alexandria.
You clowns are putting the cart before the horse. Lots of season left to play, but at this early stage, the Flyers and Cards are the cream of the crop. Let the season play out and see what happens - there are sure to be bumps in the road for both of these squads. My $$ is on Bennie and the Jets and the rest of the Flyers to represent 6A @ the X.
Zooomx, thats kind of the way it works, don't you think? You root for your closest competition to get beat by a lesser team. Alex is a very good team this year and will give Little Falls all it can handle come section time, that is unless they look past a lesser team and get beat. That goes for both of them, but I don't see either coach allowing that to happen and all Little Falls has to do is think about MBA a year or two ago.
One team that scares me is those Eagles from St. Cloud Apollo. Just imagine how good they could be if they teach all those Somalians to skate
