As much as I'd like this to happen, a Greenway win is a pipe dream. Don't do drugs, kids.Slammer wrote:Slammer is coming out of his single A shell to announce-

Those upsets would pale in comparison to Greenway beating Hermantown. Team USA had skill and speed throughout their lineup. Holy Cross beat an overrated Gophers club. The Raiders have a nice, lower, first-tier Class A team. They have one player I'd consider dangerous - Lantz - and a bunch of muckers. They'll do well to get within 3 goals of the Hawks.ryguyMN wrote:That would be right up there with the Americans beating the Russians in 1980 and Holy Cross upsetting the Gophers in 2006.

If by upset you mean keep it out of running time, there is a slight chance. But thanks for the good thought. However here are the reasons Greenway could win.
4. Most fans in the State of Hockey will be behind them.
3. They have the better coach.
2. They believe they can win.
1. The hockey gods deem it so.
The reasons Hermantown will win.
3. They have home ice advantage. (Some fan from another team
pointed this out to me.)
2. They are faster, stronger, more skilled and deeper. The have two Mr.
Hockey finalists and a Brimsek Award finalist. I've lost track of the D1
commits.
1. It would not be fair to St. Paul. To have fans from Greenway and
Grand Rapids in the same town for three nights sharing the same
hotels, eating establishments and most importantly drinking
establishments is something the St. Paul Police Department and
the Sanitation Department should not be forced to handle. There
would be a definite increase is sales of adult beverages as mass
quantities would be consumed.
Grant Troumbly and Casadonte Lawson should not be classified as muckers. Troumbly is a scorer. The kid can shoot the puck and is difficult to take out of a play. Lawson, a sophomore, has developed into a scorer as well and is shifty and a great stickhandler around the net. Lantz definetly makes that line go but the other two do have skills. The rest of the team is bunch of hard workers who do well with the skills they have.

LOL on the Rapids and Greenway fans. That wouldn't be far from reality I bet. However, assuming GR will get by East Thursday is jumping ahead of what will likely be another epic game in a long line of them between the 2.greenwayraider wrote:If by upset you mean keep it out of running time, there is a slight chance.

Troumbly & Lawson nice players but would be 4th liners on the Hawks club. Perhaps Lantz would be a second line center but not this year. Totally different teams. Hawks perhaps best team in state regardless of class. Greenway? Among top 50greenwayraider wrote:

I wasn't debating where Lawson & Troumbly would fit on the Hermantown team I was disagreeing with you calling them muckers. Also, it is easy to say Hermantown is perhaps the best team in the state when you play six teams in a tournament (sections through state), all of which you can put into running time. When you grow a set and play with the big boys and have to play six games against teams all of which have the potential to beat you then can actually prove you're the best team in the state. Talk is easy when you don't have to back it up.mnmouth wrote:Troumbly & Lawson nice players but would be 4th liners on the Hawks club. Perhaps Lantz would be a second line center but not this year.

I agree with you on all your points. But from I witnessed on Saturday and from what I saw after watching Greenway (and Virginia and Hibbing) three times this season they're a group of muckers compared to Hermantown. Hermantown faster bigger stronger deeper and more skilled across the board.greenwayraider wrote:I wasn't debating where Lawson & Troumbly would fit on the Hermantown team I was disagreeing with you calling them muckers.

Even on paper, Hawks are in the conversation as best team in Minnesota. Greenway not even part of the conversation. For Greenway to pull an upset everything would have to line up as a once in a lifetime event. Not gonna happen
