A couple other people responded with a respectful differing opinion, and in doing so said nothing negative about ANYONE OR ANY TEAM. YOU were the first person on this post to mention Lakeville South ("their team play sucks").
After bashing Lakeville South, that wasn't good enough. Then it was the Gophers. Neither LS nor the Gophers are "my team". I'm a fan of hockey. I was thrilled when the Bulldogs won the national championship, and I'll be happy for DE if they (and they probably will) win the state title.
What are you so angry and bitter about?
I sure hope none of those Hounds are reading this
Lee always uses his reverse jinx during these times. It has worked in the past...
Looks like some are trying to prop up East, in a new variation of the Jinx. Thing is, it doesn't work when you don't believe it in the first place. Too much false respect from fans of other teams. Not buying it.

Not false respect, this is one of the best High School Hockey teams I have seen in a long time. They proved it again tonight.

And he's riding a 3+ point per game scoring streak over the last 8 games, with no real cupcakes on their schedule.
Yeah but their team play sucks....perfect Gopher. Lakeville South should learn a thing or two from Duluth East on TEAM play.
Northwoods - you care to give us all some more pontifications regarding "TEAM" play. LS 3 - DE 2. I'd love to hear your insights.

Northwoods - what are you saying? Kloos is responsible for your perception that LS team play sucks? He isn't the coach, he just does what he can to help his team win. He's definitely a plus (plus/minus) player. He plays on the team his high school fields. His goal/assist ratio would certainly lead one to believe he is trying to involve his "team". Can he help it that he doesn't have Olson and Tominato on his TEAM?
And, yeah, he IS a perfect Gopher. Currently ranked 3rd in the nation, with what almost all scouts would agree are blue chip recruits coming in the next few years.
Are we going to start judging Mr. Hockey on team play? There are a lot of great "TEAM" players - with 160 or so teams in the state one might expect that. How many of those "team" players do what Kloos does to help his team?
Randolph is a great player, but why disparage a player like Kloos because he plays for a coach/program you've determined doesn't play a good "team" game?
Just curious.
Well your team is sitting 6 and 4 on a light early schedule a fewquality games with losses to Breck (6-4) Edina (5-1 loss) and beat by one other top 10 AA team Eagan. So you come into a thread about East - Maple Grove talking about your star player. You sound like typical Gopher cheese talking individual stats on a thread that deals with East - Maple Grove.
Team hockey wins....your Gophers cannot figure that out and will not this season. Reason teams like Sioux and Dogs will beat you in the second half. There is a Mr Hockey thread you can pitch your guy all you want, he is a good individual player. East and Maple Grove for that matter get it done by playing team hockey, that is the game and reason they will succeed and your team will falter, one star does not carry a team too far.
TEAM HOCKEY. LS is in the semi-finals of the state tournament. What happened to DE's TEAM play? MAYBE, LS's "TEAM" play doesn't suck as much as you think. OR, DE "TEAM PLAY" isn't quite as good as you thought. IMHO. Oh, by the way, how did Rapids "TEAM PLAY" fare this year?
