The most interesting thing about the Chaska/Prior Lake game in D6 tomorrow is that it will be Chaska's fifth game in five nights. In a scheduling quirk, Prior Lake and Chaska played a week ago in D6 regular season. Prior Lake won 5-2. The Lakers have beaten Minnetonka 8-0 and had something going with Lakeville South on the weekend since that game with Chaska.
The interesting thing is this. The #9 seed in D6 will be playing their 5th straight game against a rested #1 seed with the winner guaranteed a seed to the South Regional. The hard part for Chaska isn't the game with Prior Lake, it is the game with Edina on Tuesday if the Hawks lose tomorrow. That will be their 6th game in 6 days with the winner of that game going on to the regionals and the loser going home.
Got to give the kids on that Hawk team credit especially if they end up in the regionals.
PEE-WEE A SCORES

If you have a kid who is still playing in the playoffs, look closely at him on the ice this week, especially if he is a second year peewee. He will be trying out for bantams in 6 months and the game level the peewees are playing in these playoff is approaching bantam levels. Your kid has grown as most of the peewees have and he is about to shift interests and start acting like a teen if he hasn’t already. These second year peewee kids are in many ways no longer that wide eyed kid on Christmas morning.
This is my way of saying “middle level” teams are no longer can be defined as “middle level” because most of the early season play is no longer a measurement. Each kid’s and their team’s improvement accelerates at this point in the season. That is why youth hockey is development hockey. The only question is “is your kid's team going up or not”.
Chaska has won four tough games in a row. I watched the first playoff win over New Prague and it was not an easy win. There are no “easy wins” in late February especially in D6. The Hawks are up.

Should be some great games tonight in Waconia. Especially EP versus Minnetonka.
Minnetonka played very well last night. I was shocked to see Edina play very individual style of hockey. They have all the talent in the world, but if they don't play as a team they're not going very far. Has anyone else watched Edina play this year? Do you see the same thing?

Got a question about individual style player for all your coaches out there ... Supposedly seeing a pwa team running practice on PP, and one of the players in offense would hold on the puck, tries to stick-handle over the defense and takes a shot or losses the puck. What would you tell the player?Irish wrote:Should be some great games tonight in Waconia. Especially EP versus Minnetonka.

Assume this is not good for any team near the end of the season, in practice or during a game.

If CC can beat PL tonight, the earth will rotate on it's access, one of the big boys (Edina, Tonka, PL) will not advance as a result.
Chaska / Chan - 2
Score was tied 1-1 after the 1st.........PL then looked really good in last 2 periods......rolled.

District 3:
#1 - OMGHA
#2 - Crow River
#3 - Wayzata Blue[/quote]
Anyone have the scor of OMG/CR and Wayzata Blue/Orono?
Good Games? What was the scoop here? Also nice job Crow River. Haven't heard much about them this year, did they come from no where to get the 2 seed or just fly under the radar all season? Rumor has it they have a major impact player on their team. How does he compare to the major impact players on OMG?
