Did Hampton play and give up 7.

If he did....that five hole must have been huge.

No, if you were watching the game you would have seen only 2 or 3 goals was Nate's fault. The other 3 or 4 were garbage, scruffles infront of the net. I will admit Coulter seemed to find the net well tonight, but STC18 and under cover you need to give Hampton more respect. Because even after games like these, he is still a very respected and solid goalie.

I was just kidding Dizzangler, as senn by my laughing smiley. Hampton is still the best tender in St. Cloud to me and is a very good goalie, and I personally think he had the worst game of his high school career tonight. But hats off to Tech for playing extremely hard tonight and totally outplaying their opposition.

I only watched the first two periods so I saw 6 of the 7 goals. A grand total of ZERO went through the five hole.

We got obliterated

We get another shot at Tech in a couple weeks though, revenge is sweet.

Hampton is a very good goaltender, and I wouldnt be surprised if he made it to D-1. The other night was the worst i've seen Hampton ever play, and as already mentioned, only about half of them were his fault. His team does not back him up at all. And I do not think Apollo will be getting "revenge" on this team any time soon.

Well as far as you seeing him playing D1 hockey that's very doubtful because he is planning on playing soccer at De Paul next year. Hampton is a very good goaltender, unfortunatley Apollo is brutal aside from their first line. There a very small chance that Apollo will get any revenge next game unless,

A. They figure out to play hockey (doubtful)
B. Tech forgets half their team (very doubtful)
C. It is hockey and I 've seen weirder things happen (slight chance)

Yes, I'm well aware that he is not going to be playing D-1 hockey. I was simply stating that I could see someone of his skill and talent playing in that position.

I wouldn't be so sure of the next games with Tech vs. Apollo. It's true that Apollo had one of their worst games (aside from the Alex) against Tech. But Apollo knows how to play hockey and as far as Tech forgeting their team.. wow. After a game like the one in G.C.C I wouldn't be suprised to see Tech taking Apollo lightly the next time they go at it. But i yet to see Apollo's best. They may come out victorious.

I don't think Tech would take such a big rivalry game lightly.. at least I hope not.

Hmm. I could very easily see this happening in the Tech/Apollo game. An impressive game, but now being on a 5 game winning streak they may be taking lesser skilled teams lightly. I guess thats a good point Dizzangler. Im curious to see how the next game plaus out.

CNT...can you give your perspective on the Rogers/SCC game and the way Rogers played during this tourney?

Just for you HOF

First I’ll touch on SCC I knew they would come to play Rogers and they did. They pretty much beat Rogers to the play all over the ice, they skated hard and came with physical 2 man forechecks, and out shot Rogers like 44-19
I’m not sure what happened against Tech, for SCC, but they played very well against Rogers and they deserved the win against Rogers. Congrats.

Now as far as Rogers play…IMO they played very uninspired hockey that day, I’m not sure what their game plan here was? but they had 7 defensemen suited and played them all ? And IMO it cost them. They have 4 solid D that can carry them thru games, why not use them? Jensen wasn’t even on the ice for the last 8 min. of that game?

Another thing,
Rogers fwds have got to play hard both ways and they didn’t (haven‘t been), the forecheck doesn’t stop at the hash marks in the O zone, and the back check doesn’t stop just inside your own blue line!
Time to toughen up a bit boys! as size is proving to be a factor here, these smaller fwds either need to start hitting, or start moving their feet and use their speed to offset that…they did neither in this game (and others this season), with the exception of Waddick, Bistodeau, and Kielsa, IMO.

One last note, a couple of these Rogers Fwds. need to start passing the puck instead of looking for personal points on the score sheet, last I heard it was a team game, but I’ve seen so many opportunities blown by selfishness it’s pathetic. You know who you are, if it keeps up so will the rest on here.

WOW! Lambasting the boys. Seems Rogers always saves their best for Buffalo...I am fimiliar with selfish play looking for points...almost all teams deal with it..I was impressed with Bison willingness to sacrifice personal agenda's for a team win against Mayo...hope more comes from it.

Getting outshot 44-19 is not impressive...did the club play better against sartell and SR?

Not Lamblasting just pointing out the obvious.

BTW nice job in Rochester, it's nice to see an M8 team win a tourney.
I wasn't at the Sartell game but heard Waddick got a hatty, and I saw the rinkwriter sheet and it appears Rogers dominated that game.

Saw the Sauk Rapids game and it was closer then it should have been, but all the things I said before came into play...again.
Because of the goalie situation they need to keep their top 4 D on the ice as much as possible to limit the quality shots on goal down.

HOFam'r · Post by **HOFam'r** » Mon Dec 31, 2007 5:40 pm

lambasting may have been to harsh...sounds like your frustrated...when i watched Rogers I was impressed with their defensemen beyond Jensen and Scat...however, they only played the four you probably are refering to? I know one of the kids you're more than likely speaking about and have my own opinion about him and his attitude...which is not good...but he always seems to score against us for some reason...Still two out three ain't bad in any tournament..so congrats and we will look forward to seeing you guys at the Buffalo Rink soon...from what I have seen thus far the Conference is terribly weak but the conference has some nice individual players....Must be frustrating for players like Scat and Jensen...

Weirder things such as tech beating SCC 6-1 in the GCC.

It was weird........from the point that it should have been about 10-1. SCC got schooled from the get go and couldn't adjust.

I'm going to have to go ahead and disagree with you on that one...
Is there any way you can justify that comment? Because Apollo has been beaten by both Sartel and Cathedral two teams that were in this tournament, and they don't have one quality win on the year yet. Tech has beaten both Cathedral and Sartel (twice) and laid an ass whooping on Apollo in the tournament. I'm pretty interested on how you can say that Apollo is the best team in the tournament.
