BIG GAMES

[elliott70]

Warroad vs Roseau

Both teams are down this year, but believe me a lot of excitement on Highway 11 today.

[greenway1969]

Greenway 1, Falls 0 end of period 1

[Sats81]

LN up 2-1 on Eagan after one. Shots 9-6 LN.

[rainier]

Hibbing and Virginia 0-0 after one. Shots 18-7 Hibbing.

[north_bear]

Rapids up 1-0 on East after 1st. Mattson on the power play. Pretty even period. Shots 6-6. I would say rapids had more chances and better of the play but a slight margin. Rapids lines are also juggled. Mattson-Adams-Graber with Hain working the blue line.

No sight of McLaughlin.

[stromboli]

Breck up 2-1 after 2.

[rainier]

Hibbing and Virginia 1-1 after two. Shots 28-16 Hibbing.

[greenway1969]

Greenway 5, Falls 0 end of 2

[Sats81]

LN up 4-2 over Eagan after 2. Ryan poehling with 2 goals that period. Incredible short handed goal and top shelf with 4 secs left in period.

Hand it to the little guy, he's got kitties playing hard tonight.

[stromboli]

All tied at 2 after regulation in St Cloud. Headed to OT.

[rainier]

Hibbing scores with 21 seconds left to escape with a 3-2 win over Virginia. Shots were 42-21 Hibbing.

[greenway1969]

Greenway 10, Falls 1 final

[stromboli]

Breck wins a thriller in OT 3-2. Awesome game for the fans.

[Sats81]

LN 6-3 final over Eagan. 32-17 shots LN.


Good effort by little guys sqaud. He's got em playing hard.

[WestMetro]

Battle of goaltenders swanson and kelly in east metro, each over 30 saves, as Maht upsets STA 2 to 1. Will Swanson often under reported this year, continues in top Statewide goalie leaders at .928 save pc , following a great Elite League season

Battle of goaltenders swanson and kelly in east metro, each over 30 saves, as Maht upsets STA 2 to 1. Will Swanson often under reported this year, continues in top Statewide goalie leaders at .928 save pc , following a great Elite League season

He is a pretty solid tender. How are the other "Elite" league goaltenders doing this year? Personally think that league is a sham

[WestMetro]

Selected Goalies this year 90-93% Save Percent , who were also in Elite:
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Scites PL roughly same as last year and better than Elite

Begley HM about same as last year and better than Elite

Swanson MAHT, dont have last year handy but better than Elite

Hanson MTKA , above last year and above Elite

Bischell BSM, above last year and above Elite

Benson SW, dont have last year handy, but above Elite


The other three Elite goalies Ive been tracking are Schilling, Stej and Durocher (limited Elite action ) all are performing below Elite levels in terms of save percent so far this season, but there is still plenty of season left for rebound

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Worth noting the following other top 15 AA goalies with major minutes who are above 90% and who werent in Elite:

Weinzik EP
Moe HF
Gerads BL
Fitzgerald BEM
Meyers ELK
Kelly STA
Waszczenko WAYZ
DeGrood ED
Stauber HF
Capeeza STA


I would note I most closely follow the top 15 AA teams. I dont track all the outstate or most A goalies. Others might add them to this thread for comparison. Meanwhile, if I have missed or mischaracterized anyone, apologize in advance
