Pretty typical East game; they controlled throughout, parrticularly in the 2nd. North isn't nearly as bad as some people make them out to be, either. The end of the first game was great too; I walked in when it was 5-4 Blaine, and it was 6-5 by the time I found a seat. But the highlight of the day was watching the end of Mahtomedi-Hermantown on the Mariucci tvs during the 2nd intermission--what a finish (even Dave Esse, who was standing next to me, thought so. Nice to see him come down and watch the Hounds at state). The conso final tomorrow should be a fun one.
Esse is a very classy guy. Hopefully he has a team capable of getting back to state in the near future, he does a lot with the talent he has, but the last two years there has been virtually zero talent at C-E-C, good luck to East in the Consolation Championship.karl(east) wrote:Pretty typical East game; they controlled throughout, parrticularly in the 2nd.

I saw both games today at Mariucci, and thought Blaine looked great for the better part of two periods. Then the 3rd period started, Roseau got two early, and Blaine just stopped skating. Then a Blaine player took a dumb penalty, while already killing one to begin a 5 on 3 for Roseau. Roseau took full advantage scoring two PP goals, and actually took the lead. I was in shock by how poorly Blaine played in the 3rd period. Alot of credit to Roseau for not giving up, and a tough finish to a Blaine team that was expected too compete for the AA championship.karl(east) wrote:Pretty typical East game; they controlled throughout, parrticularly in the 2nd.

The Duluth East game went as predicted as they controlled the puck, and the play for the majority of the game. Should be a good one tomorrow vs the Rams.
Also, during the 2nd period intermission it was cool to see a number of people surrounding each TV that goes around Mariucci arena. A classic at the X!

"other issues"...how bout the coach...RamWarrior wrote:I don't care who played net, you blow a 5 - 1 lead you have other issues like motivation. put that loss on the team not the goalie.Goldfishdude wrote:east hockey wrote:Empty net goal seals the win for Roseau, 7-5. Pretty nice comeback for the Rams there. Hoping they face East tomorrow for the consolation prize.
LeeWhat a collapse!!!! OR, what a great comeback!!
Did Harper not play in nets for Blaine, or did he get pulled, because that's a shock he would give up 6 goals...???

Yes, Mariucci was selling tickets. But a number of people were selling them on the street for like 5 bucks. Also, so many people had extras, that it came to the point where people were just giving the tickets away.hereorthere wrote:For those of you who went to the consolation semi's today. Can you get tickets before the game (consolation championship), and if so how much are they and how long do you have to wait in line?

What Happened?
Blaine has mailed this one in. Again, we all look for big time players to step it up at State Tournement time. Bjugstad let this one get away.

Blaine needed some grinders or something. From what I hear that team has a lot of drama and outside influence.
They also stayed at a hotel instead of their own beds? Bad move if this is true. Keep things normal as possible and go home and take the bus to the game. Well thats what I would of done but I'm a nobody.

How in the world can a team win if they have to stay in a hotel instead of their own beds??AVbrute83 wrote:Blaine needed some grinders or something. From what I hear that team has a lot of drama and outside influence.
