I appreciate your input but maybe you should stick to the 7A thread. I am sorry your prom date ran off with a big stud wearing orange and black but c'mon- that was a long time ago. You gotta let it go man.northwoods oldtimer wrote:How is getting outshot 77-13 and losing 5-1 an improvement? Other than Holum standing on his head which is expected in front of this team. Where is the improvement? Give us some raw data to prove the improvement. Quick review of shot totals doesn't really indicate improvement. So what is your benchmark in throwing out the statement?Immigrant Fan wrote:Final score 5-1, Holy Family. Rapids held on pretty well until the middle of the 2nd period, but HF pulled away. According to the arena scoreboard HF had 73 SOG! My calculations say that is about a 93% save percentage. Holum had a terrific game.
I think GR is playing much better now than several weeks ago. Losing still hurts, but it looks like it is a work in progress.
The Andover game was not close match. Andover outshot Rapids 38-15 and won the game 6-1 which in hockey is losing by a significant margin. Enough with the nonsense!
Teams in the section improving are the following:
Andover
Duluth Marshal
Elk River
East
Here is tip that might be helpful- Run over to Duluth Trading and get yourself some of those Buck Naked Underdudes- according to the commercial they are awesome.
You should be a little more upbeat given the fact that Greenway has a good team. Most Rapids people, like me, are hoping that they can take down Hermantown and get to St. Paul.
