Third-man-in.

yeah. you are beating a dead horse. Youve made the same point twice now. and Basically the same point i made. so..at this point you sound like a parent trying to vent. although i do agree with what you are saying. kind of.

If they start putting the pucks in the net they will be a force. 2 goals against morris... MARSHALL'S BIGGEST BENDER. MR. JAMES LINSTROM HAD 2 goals by himself against morris last year.

Yeah i know that goalie they had last year. who cares. . he's brutal.

Marshall has no issue with goaltending. Nobles numbers are right up there with some of the best in the state.

NEW ULM--- blamin the stripes eh? classy. the zebras were reffing both teams im sure new ulm got away with stuff too. bad ref goes both ways usually.

Cujo- officiating is what it is. sometime it goes both ways sometimes not. It would be nice if during the more important games that the refs could step it up.
At least they didn't throw a chicken on the ice.
As Edger said about Marshall "Their seniors have played forever" With a "great coach they'd be dominating the section. Is it to late to learn?

i guess that's the way the world is these days. can't fire the players, get rid of the coach. must not be getting what's needed out of the players. maybe they should move in a different direction and find somebody else to take over there. still have marshall over redwood by 3 or 4 tonight.

thirdmanin · Post by **thirdmanin** » Tue Jan 25, 2011 4:15 pm

whooooaaa...slow down...lets get serious - Marshall HEAD coach is one of the best in the section!! it is hard to get talented coaches down here and he is great! Marshall is fortunate to have the head coach they have - there aren't many others in the community as close to knowledgeable as him...parent politics are always a nightmare and some parents that know nothing about hockey or have ever played the game seem to run the show.

Lets not get into bashing certain kids or coaches. Marshall needs to count their blessings with this head coach...he doesn't have much help through the youth levels, and that is a challenge.

If Marshall loses the head coach, their program will be OVER!

Lets get back on track here.

I agree that the officiating was not the greatest at the New Ulm/LDC game, but it did not decide the game by any means. The shot from New Ulm at the end of the second period went in after the buzzer. Obviously fans are going to cheer...this does not mean the ref is out of position or made the wrong call. Refs did miss a few of #5 on New Ulm's (the only kid who whines as much as him in the conference is Heinonen)hacks though. And I did the the LDC high stick...so as usual...a few calls seen from the stands and not on ice even each other out.

And Juntenen is the one who had a big impact on the game winning goal...he was incredibly lazy the whole game and only managed to get a few penalties. Then in OT, he picked up the puck deep in the D-zone and lazily tried to shoot it out of the zone, accidently giving it right to an LDC player. Instead of hustling to position to play defense, he watched the LDC guy walk in and score.

I think you are confusing number 5 with 3 from new ulm??? Ive seen a couple of New Ulms games and #3 really gets annoying with his laziness and then complaining once he gets in trouble for it..either way I still think New ulm is the better team, as they had a few of there key players hurt during this game.

corbin there ya go again. Spouting your nonsense. you havent slipped up in a while.

YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT HOCKEY. Marshall's got the best coach in this section. Pearson knows the game better than anyone down here. He could easily be coaching a big program somewhere. He has had alot going on the last two years, things that are more important than hockey.

so come off it. sandbulte should take lessons. Maybe he could teach his team to run a forecheck or powerplay, or maybe he could teach his players to make 3 consecutive passes. Obviously his breakaway scheme (give the puck to fitzer plan) isnt working so well.

BuffaloRidgeHockey · Post by **BuffaloRidgeHockey** » Wed Jan 26, 2011 7:25 am

Settle Down Bettman...

Pearson has done a fine job with marshall and nobody is doubting that. He is a good coach lets leave it at that and drop personal attacks on coaches.

Sandbulte & Brown are doing a good job in Luverne. They are working with the youth program going to practices nightly to build a better program. Does Luverne have flaws at the high school level yes of course. But they are trying to build a better program that takes time. We are happy to have them as our Coaches down here. Just as you are happy to have Pearson as your coach.

Also, Corbin is not from LUVERNE!! I don't get why you keep attacking Luverne every time he says something.... He is not from here so if you want to attack Corbin do so but again he is not a Luverne Hockey person so I don't get why you always then proceed to attack Luverne... I am a Luverne guy

Marshall is a fine program has a great group of seniors and COACH!! That is from a Luverne Hockey person ... Now, lets drop it before you get our forum locked up again like earlier this year.

Thanks

Lets get back to talking about hockey....

haven't ever agreed with Buffalo Ridge, but Luverne's strength is that the association is allowing the HEAD coach to run the youth program. That is the way an association should be run. The head coach knows the game - knows how it should be played and develops the youth the way it should be done. Too often it is parents that aren't athletes, have never played hockey, never coached hockey or haven't ever learned the game that try to run the show and end up hurting the whole program simply for their own kids agenda. Happens all to often. Luverne will grow simply because of the involvement from the High School head coaches.

Marshall could learn a lesson... (right Barry?)

Lucky win for Marshall last night...New Ulm takes a loss...Hutch loses...Luverne wins

Like I said some kids think they don't need to skate hard the hole game. This is what happens you lose.
The coaches need to light a fire under a few of them, or they won't make it far in the playoffs!!

I've seen how NU coaches don't skate the 3rd line very little if at all in the 3rd period against better teams. You can see the other 2 lines get tired and that costed them the last 2 games. The 3rd line isn't BAD! The coach needs to have some confidence in ALL his players! The so called 1st line of #3, 5, & 12 are only as good as Losse is that day! He does ALL the work for the other 2. The kids got a motor that never stops! He goes hard for 35-40 seconds and gets off the ice. The other 2 will do loop-d-loops out on the ice for 2 min. and that doesn't help the team. There needs to be a better emphasis on TEAM or NU WILL NOT make it out of the Section! Right now I think Hutch, Marshall, Litch, and maybe...maybe Sleepy Eye could up end the Eagles! Hey Sleepy Eye is my "Sleeper" to upset a top 4 team in the section this year!
I didn't get to the Chaska game on Tuesday...but was told the 2nd line scored 6 of their 7 goals and the 7th was by defenseman Hofman...Where is the Top Scorers at? I see disaster in the Eagles future!!!!!! Go Sleepy Eye!

This isn't a rip on you gr8 but Sleepy Eye winning against any of those teams.....you are smoking something. Have seen all those teams play several times....SE beating a top team will not happen.

sleepy eye is carried by two players. braulick and regan and thats all they got. ill admit coach tauer has done a hell of a job getting those guys back to just loving to play but the fact is there is not enough talent for them to upend one of the top seeds.i can however see them pulling one out against a luverne or redwood.

timcorbin21 · Post by **timcorbin21** » Thu Jan 27, 2011 12:25 pm

Thirdmanin, when i challenge your statement about marshall having great coaching i wasn't bashing anyone. i dont agree, but thats as far as it goes.if we're going to make claims that someone is great, good or horrible we shouldn't be surprised when that claim gets questioned. marshalls record for the past few years has slipped, i don't think many or any players have gone on to play past high school. they're playing uninspired hockey at the moment with a seasoned team. and if you are to believe this thread the lower levels are not that strong. i imagine he could still be a great coach by some criteria. i'm sure he's a great guy.

Is this worth replying to?
Does anyone else on this forum care?
Maybe it is a smoke screen because you are jealous and wish he was your coach?
Last years class, for the most part, was fairly weak athletically and Pearson did well with what he was given. It is tough to try to teach hockey skills when kids get to high school - the weakness is in the youth program and parent politics not using the head coach. It is difficult to get good coaches in SW MN; it is hard to find a staff to surround you that has the same knowledge. I think he does well with what he has to deal with. Let's not even discuss the tragedies of the last year that are way more important then any hockey game. You have to remember he was given a group of pot heads when he came, and then tried to lead a very egotistically parent driven association that lacks hockey knowledge or former hockey player parents to coach.
He has had quality players - Krogen X2, Ryne Hansen (who choose Air Force Academy over hockey), 2 all state goalies, and others that could go on to play - is juniors worth it though? Club hockey? at least you get a quality education while you have fun playing club.
Also, isn't character, teamwork and life skills a good lesson to learn from a coach? He just needs a better supporting cast, and an association that will use his talents. They are the problem.

Now - lets quit with this junk, and talk about hockey -
I think Marshall is headed out of their slump and ready to show Morris Benson what a real hockey game looks like.

Hutch plays Willmar tonight, Willmar is on a roll...to much for Hutch.
Willmar---7 Hutch ---2

Not much of a game for Litch.
Litch---8 Wadena---1

3rd man in.... This board is not for you to vent your personal feelings. This thread is called section 3A. Nobody wants to hear your personal issues with people within the MARSHALL hockey association. Create your own thread for that.

I am just wondering what good you think you are doing by posting about these random issues that are quite obviously personal, and honestly dont make sense to anyone else.

This thread is to talk about hockey, not for parents like you to anonymously vent their personal issues. If you are gonna be calling people out you best at least identify yourself. Everybody knows who I am.

Marshall 3, Sioux Falls 2 OT shoot out
Fun win for the home team

Interesting past week or two. New Ulm has taken a couple losses. Has not affected my opinion that they are still the #1 team in this section.

Going through some game stats, noticed Fitzer from Luverne scored a hat trick against Worthington in 13 seconds. Is that right? If so, someone should check where that stands against the fastest hat trick recorded. WOW!

Bender, did Marshall play the AA or AAA Sioux Falls team? Its listed as the AA team on Hockey Hub but that can't be right. Big game for the Tigers tomorrow against Morris/Benson, conference title is on the line. Would be a great game to attend.

Hopefully the weather holds out the next couple of weeks, alot of games to get in before playoffs, Im sick of moving snow!!!.
