I think the hub is just doing some whacky stuff with the Hutch results, which isn't a surprise.

The Star Tribune is in on the conspiracy.

I think I may have looked at the hutch page while they were loading the stats for the Chaska game. I think they were erroneously loading the stats for the Chaska game into the Marshall game. Now it says the Marshall game was 11-3, which is what follow the puck has, but conflicts with trouts 11-2 report. Not that big of a difference now.

Either way Hutch looks good.

Bardown did you go to this one?

Chaska that bad?

Final was 8-2 Hutch.

Chaska wasn't a bad team at all. Hutch played very well in their own d zone, like they have been all year. Chaska just couldn't match Hutch's speed, especially in the neutral zone during the transition game. Hutch's transition game was very good last night, and Chaska just couldn't match the speed Hutch was bringing.

Thanks for the insight Bardown!

I personally love your posts, but I wouldn't suppose the rest of Rock County agrees with me. I love the image of your jeans held up with a length of rope as you head off to Bluemound, your Carhartts reeking of English Leather, two steps behind NotTonight, mumbling, 'yeah, yeah, Trout, he-he'.

My first years were spent living just as my forefathers had lived - roaming the green, rolling hills of what are now the states of South Dakota and Nebraska.

I'm ten steps behind saying lord lord lord...

My question is what is all this about inexperienced D? According to the hub (I know, I know) the players that were on the blue line were 3/4 upperclassmen? Also heard via the not always accurate hockey grapevine that 3 of the 5 goals resulted from some mistakes by the same D pair and possibly an ill-advised stretch by the goalie. Still doesn't explain the lack of offensive production. Still early, come on cards, find some chemistry!
Only 2 of the blueliners that played saturday played Defense for the Cards last year. Luverne has a forward playing D, and a couple sophomores. All will be just fine with some development. It was an abrupt change in the pace of play the Cardinals have seen so far this year. Thats what happens when you play top 10 teams. When the kid who was a pillar on the blue line last year comes back, I anticipate the transition game to be immensely better. He's also a very physical presence for a little guy, so that helps also. The future is still bright for this squad. Lots of season and development left. Roll Cards!
Just to be clear...16 is not in the top 10. Maybe slip your shoes off next time.

GASP!!!!! SPA RANKED IN THE TOP TEN!!!! What a stunnner. Wake up princess.... State of hockey has a lot of good teams.

I took the liberty of "googling" it for you. Enjoy.

Bardown what your insight from New Ulm last night?

bardown27 · Post by **bardown27** » Sat Dec 13, 2014 8:36 pm

wasn't there. duty calls.

I heard New Ulm had a physical presence that slowed the high flying Hutch Tigers. 4-0 New Ulm to start this thing and Hutch came roaring back. Also wondering if Cowger will miss anytime after the injury at the end of overtime. Sounded like he eventually skated off on his own power but didn't return because the game ended.
Can anyone confirm?

GF Red River 3-1 over Warroad.... not that anyone here cares but it is a noteworthy win.

Warroad was without Roth, one of the best players in the state.

Exactly what do you mean by 'one of the best players in the state'?

Kobe Roth is widely regarded as one of the best High School hockey players in the state of Minnesota.

I took the liberty of googling it for you.

Do you disagree?

In that he played in the elite league, yes, he is a top player.

I thought perhaps you were referring to the top 10 or 20. If so, then I disagree.

He is the second best player on Warroad's team, IMO.

Jaycox is a great player, I agree with you, kind of apples and oranges to compare the two though.

Not apples and oranges.
Just forward and Dman.
Jaycox is better
George is also a good player. A little dirty, but good. Their goalie is very good.
EGF and Warroad maybe the 2 best 'A' teams.
I am sure DMarshall, Hermantown and a couple of others would disagree.

I was not at the game but was told he took a very hard hit, my guess would be it knocked the wind out of him, but he was back on the ice after the hit so I doubt he will be missing any time. They did say that they would guess he was probably feeling it the next day though. Sounded like the game was very physical both ways. Good sign for new ulm to play a pretty good hutch team the way they did after their OT loss to marshall, but in my eyes if they want to be considered a contender they can't be letting four goal leads slip away. As for hutch, they need to stay out of the box, and continue to get the decent goaltending they have been. They won't be winning (or tying) many games taking two major penalties.

I heard the opposite, I heard he did NOT return to play in that game. I hope he's fine. I'm sure it would have been news if he planned on missing any playing time.

Going into that game I think the expectation was that Hutch would blow New Ulm out. I know there were a lot of eyes raised way up when the report came that New Ulm was leading 4-0. Has the Hutch top line progressed drastically since last season. They must have because they didnt produce anything in their big section games last year. This year they are really making people look.

a couple 3A scores from tonight:

Delano 4
Litchfield 1

Albert Lea 4
New Ulm 0

**River Lakes 5
Willmar 4 OT

In my eyes Hutch's top line is the most overrated line in the section.

Why do you say that? They definitely had that title last year, but is it different this year?

I was at this game. It did not go to overtime. Willmar scored 3 in the first 5 minutes but stopping passing the puck around after that. Too many penalties and players trying to do it on his own.
