luverne had no class during and after the game at New Ulm, they got cheap and the coaches even told there players not to shake N.U's coaches hands at the end of the game. No wonder New Ulm dosn't want to play them during the regular season. (absolutely no class) New Ulm beat Windom pretty bad but at least they had class.(lots of class)


I do not think some one from NU should talk about class. NU is one of the cheapest teams in the section when things don't go there way they start playing cheap, something to watch for ... if NU gets down in a big game they pack it up early.

Will someone shead some light on the situation about not shaking hands?

This is what NU's coach had to say about the game!
"We like to come out strong and put some goals in and take a team out of the game," New Ulm coach Erik Setterholm said. "We did that tonight - we had some things that bothered us all week about this game - they gave us the fifth seed and they didn't want to play us on Saturday. We were fired up"

Read about this in the New Ulm paper, was not at the game personally to verify, but appears true. I now take back anything good I have posted about Luverne's hockey team . Good Job Cardinals, you have now gained more respect from the top 3A teams (not) Good Luck trying to schedule a game next year. I was hoping to watch your team make a good run next year as you will be returning most of the players, now my feelings are different. In my travels, I have observed that alot of teams get chippy when being pummeled in a game, but not shaking hands afterward? Come On! You are representing your school & your hockey association, not to mention yourself.

As for New Ulm, Good Luck against Litch! Don't Choke this time! I hope to be watching you at the X next week.

I was at the game last night. When I read the paper today I was surprised because I watched New Ulm and Luverne shake hands.... (In Fact the New Ulm and Luverne Coaches looked to have a heated exchange)...Not sure what the newspaper is up in New Ulm is trying to start?? Some shaky journalism at... I watched them shake hands???

As for the game clearly New Ulm was the better team. Nice win you proved that your far superior to Luverne. Good Luck against Litch!!

As for Luverne getting cheap didn't really see that either??? I guess its all in the eyes of the beholder. Still a lot of work for the Luverne Hockey Program to do. I know this much Luverne has not had an issue an all year in regards to the (No-Class remark). I guess I was surprised to read the article and see that written would like to know The New Ulm's Newspaper rationale for printing that. I watched them shake hands.... But its over with like I said New Ulm was clearly the better team! They proved why they don't bother to schedule Southwest Teams.

Good Luck Eagles on Friday!!

[curtiscurve]

I wanted to come back on the 3A thread to admit I was so wrong about my predictions for the finals. I had Hutch and Redwood I was way off and I see the seedings meant nothing. The 2 best teams are in the finals and that is what is most important. Should be a good game and Congrats to both LDC and NU. I will go with NU 4 LDC 2. Sorry NU, I may have just jinxed you!

New Ulm DOES schedule one SWC team, they have for years.
It is MARSHALL. Marshall respects New Ulm and plays hard against them.
Thats how it is done. In fact, the two schools play each other TWICE a year in the regular season, even tho they do not have to.
Learn from the mistake and move on. You rattled a cage you shouldn't have, and lost a couple fingers. That's not how you improve your program.

The problem I see is that worked in the past because Marshall has had good teams, but that's in the past. This year, great goaltending kept them in games against much better teams (hurt NUs ranking tremendously), this will not be the case in future years. NU, Litch, & Hutch should be looking at scheduling at least one game each against other 3A teams (Redwood, Luverne, Windom, possibly Sleepy Eye) alternate who is home each year, so that we are not left with what we had this year. I still believe that if the top teams start playing the middle teams in the section more often, the disparity in game scores will narrow over time and will make section seeding much easier. Redwood did have a good team this year, would have loved to see them play NU, Litch or Hutch (when they were not in their slump).

Looks to me like it helped New Ulm's seeding.

NO KIDDING.. cake walk to section championsip.. haha

So how do you feel now luverne... After you got your hinies wiped, chopped off and handed to you on a silver platter.. Looks like you got put back into place AY? Thats what quality hockey is.. and thats what quality hockey SHOULD do to bottom-feeder teams like luverne. and guess what new ulm did...And im glad new ulm did it.. I think luverne was feeling a little to cocky.. Its a section semi-final game, you could have at least tried to keep it close instead of being cheap-shotting quitters...

Oh and to whoever said NU was the better team blah blah blah.... well NO DUH DUDE. They beat you 11-1!!! Hopefully your youth hockey is as studly as you say it is, cuz right now you are 10 goals behind quality teams in this section, and they arent getting any worse. You got some catching up to do.

Luverne being classless???!!! What you gotta be kidding?? NOT! Luverne has been and always will be chippy and classless... Its like that in their youth hockey too! I was at one of their squirt or peewee games last year.. OMG! it was more entertaining to watch luverne parents freak out in the stands while their kids marched one by one to the penalty box.. Bad sportmanship plagues their entire town....REDICULOUS. Dont even try to play an innocent card, its BS and everyone else here knows it.

And dont even get me started on MR. tanmanvantavia or whatever his name is...... (ref from luverne) and (total homer)

I think this year taught us a lesson in seedings... as someone else on hear pointed out a while back... You cant base seeds off of record and common games between teams because in this section it doesnt work.. look at strictly head to head matchups... and use common sense.. come on, does anyone honestly believe that redwood was better thanLDC NEW ULM... absolutely not. And honestly i feel that marshall is a more competitive team than redwood even though they lost to them twice... just the same that new ulm is more competitive than marshall even though marshall beat them twice... RIGHT?


LUVERNE... you have disgraced the term BENDER........

5th seed? thought they were 3.

[hoccardger]

Wow Garry B! Whoa...

Have to agree with most of what you say.

Disappointment for Hutch. Powerplay was the game ended for Hutch. Great match up, but a big disappointment not to make it back.

Some tough teams in the section. Agree with the analysis of Luverne and Hutch. Marshall, NU, Hutch and LDC had some fine teams this year. Lots of graduations in the section - we will see what next year brings.

I have to say, I hope LDC makes it to state now. Can't stand the ziggy zaggy crazy crazy cheer

Read CAREFULLY! Luverne gave them the 5th seed. That is how it works, each team seeds the others in the section and they average them out for the final seeds. The individual seedings are shared with all the coaches, so it is often used as bulletin board material.

they shook hands but their classless effort was not one of luvenre's players or coaches would shake setterholms hand

new ulm probably would've been the number one seed without their 2 losses to marshall
and the only reason new ulm lost to marshall was marshall's goaltending, that make a little more sense?

[casualobserver]

All I can say is the Finns beat the Germans in the Olympics 5 - 0.

So that's what I'm going with.... Go LDC!!!

[timcorbin21]

Watch out one of New Ulms top two is a Finn.

BuffaloRidge if you were at the game you would have noticed that none of the luverne players shook hands with the coaches from new ulm. The coaches from luverne did not shake the new ulm coaches hands either. Maybe you need to pay more attention. That is a very poor lesson these coaches have just taught their players. "Kids you just got beat like a dirty rug so lets get even and not shake the coaches hands from new ulm. " Nice sportsmanship lesson. I seem to remember last may when Luverne beat new ulm to go to the state baseball tournament the new ulm players shaking hands with the luverne coach and players. I not trying to say new ulm or any team for that matter doesn't have their issues during some games. But that is during the game. When the game is over shake hands and show good sportsmanship.

Thomas Greiss is pretty bad.......... thats why.. The germans need kilzig back... Greiss played like crap the entire olympics.

hahahah

[hoccardger]

Seedings are questionable this year, but honestly, most of the teams were pretty close. Marshall takes it to New Ulm Twice, loses to Hutch in OT, Loses 3-1 vs. Litch, Litch beat Hutch 3-1, NU beats Hutch, on and on and on. The way I see it, it really was a toss up between those 4 teams. They all did a fine job. Marshall probably did hide behind good goaltending, but goaltending is a part of the game too. Hutch and NU have decent goalies that probably didn't do as much as expected this year. All the teams have some key players (no real stand out at Marshall, but some solid guys) that can hit the net at any given time. I wouldn't count out Marshall next year - they have a lot of juniors. Litch will be down for sure, as will Hutch. Hutch has a good athletic system which will help the hockey players improve though. They also have good coaching. NU will be tough as always - guess it all depends on what happens this summer and who wants it the most. The off season will tell the story. It was an interesting year. Wonder what Redwood will bring next year???

Hoping Luverne learns a lesson in sportsmanship. Never been there, never want to go there.

Chalk, I'll type s l o w l y to hopefully not lose you on this. Average Offense/Defense on a team with Great Goalie = Team able to compete with more skilled teams, occasionally beating them due to great goalie performance(s) (ie: marshall vs new ulm games). Take the same average Offense/Defense with an average or below average goalie = Team that gets beat by quite a few against top teams, and loses some games to lesser teams (not making a reference here for obvious reasons). Goalieguy understands this, too bad you don't, but hopefully its cleared up.

yeah.....if chalk talk doesnt get it now.. theres no hope.....
But campion still plays for Marshall. so you still have to beat them regardless.

[timcorbin21]

i dont understand all the talk about marshall. they are watching. marshall lost to willmar, litch, hutch, lourdes, and more, barely beat waconia. they beat new ulm twice and both times the nu goalie was a little sub-par.
