elk river

Post by CoachGuy »

Roseville (0) @ Elk River (3)<br><br>I have to say we played a very good game tonight, but just didnt have the legs to finish strong at all. This was our 5th game in 5 nights and just couldnt come out and play well in the third period after only being down 1-0. It didnt help that we had two kids in a car accident the night before who couldnt make it because they are a little banged up(get well soon guys). We had two lines and two sets of D. <br><br>Now, this was a chippy game from the middle of the second period until the end of the game. I will tell all of you that Elk River is nothing special, and if you have an above average team you will compete with them. Actually you should beat them on neutral ice or a home game. They are a team who plays clutch and grab with lot of interference(obviously allowed by district 10 officials), and when pressure is put on them they spaz like the "special kid" who rode the short bus in elem. school! <br><br>We had two kids who had trouble finishing (and if we had numbers, wouldnt have) because of tomahawk slashes. I'm glad this isnt the NFL, because we wont get fined for saying that "it was single handly the worst officated game i have ever seen". WE should have 8 more penalties, and so should they. AND AND! The ref said he had total control the whole game. I wish i would have had a diaper on cause when i heard that almost shat myself.<br><br>I understand its a coached duty to keep his kids under control, but when somebody tomahawks you across the back side of your knee, its hard to not do anything. Thats where the referees come in, and cant have tunnel vision on the puck. You need to have periferal(sp?) vision and catch some of the stick play behind the puck carrier! I wish you luck with district 10 officials.<br><br>WHEW! i need to go to sleep, thanks for letting me rant...see ya soon WBL Orange rematch on wednesday night. <p></p><i>Edited by: <A HREF=http://pub33.ezboard.com/bmnhs.showUser ... oachGuy</A> at: 1/19/04 11:38 pm<br></i>

Coach Guy from Roseville: I have seen in a couple of instances where the Elks have done what you discribed as "cheap hockey". I agree with you that they are hasty and CAN be beat. I don't think it is just Dist 10, but you do have an arguement. They are a completely different team away from home and it'll all come down to where they finish in the standings and who they play in the MHL playoffs. They ARE a good team and still (becasue they continue to win) are considered Top 5, but they will have to win away from home!<br><br>To mjtartan-guy: Please don't confuse lecture with arrogance. Ya'll have a good team, just don't play ALL of your cards before the final hand is dealt. We are all trying to stir the pot here and have intelligent hockey conversation. If what I say on this board imporves your team's worth, then you will turn out to be one of the better teams. Until you beat a good team in Jan & Feb, you remain unproven and I hold my opinion. <p></p><i></i>

burnsville vs ssp

Post by sspwhitetrash »

that was a great game! i think we had a little more of an advantage coming into the game trying to knock the higher seeded team down. #13 has some issues and i hope he doesnt ever get to play again because actions like that are what gives jr gold such a bad reputation. all in all it was a good tournament! <p></p><i></i>

I watched the ER-Roseville game and I'd have to say that ER was cheap. However, you have to look at it from both sides, Roseville was also playing cheap as well. Both teams held and cheap shotted. Roseville played cheap with their sticks (slashed, hooked, cross-checked) while ER played cheap with the body (holding and elbowing). I do have to say that either team did not look at the top of their game, both teams were involved in the body too much and not the puck. Also, what a coincidence on the car accident, the captain for the elks had to sit out because he was in a car accident the night before. I would like to see another match up between the two teams when they are both at the top of their game and when all their players are healthy. <p></p><i></i>

Im glad to see you agree with me MinnHSHockeyFan, like i said in my post we should have had several more penalites on us as well as on Elk River. I do agree with your point that both teams were way too involved with the body and not the puck...but cause and effect are to blame for that. The first period was a clean and as fast paced as ive seen, but it got ugly after that when the refs started letting more and more stick play go. <br><br>I wish a speedy recovery to the elk captian as well as my players....Its very unfortunate yet its good to remind us that there are more important things than hockey. best wishes mike, dustin and elk captain <p></p><i></i>

IGH

Post by freighttrain »

IGH (1) @ Hastings (5)<br><br>Same score as last time we played these guys and we played a better game. This game should/could have been 3-1. Our goalie let in a weak goal from the point through the 5-hole and the Ref gave them a goal when the net was clearly off its moorings. We still have two guys out with injuries and another didnt show up to tonights game. We are 10-4-2 so far this year but I think us coaches lately have become laxed and have let some things slip by like poor play. Plus we need Ryan back ASAP. Without him we cant play with the big boys. <p></p><i></i>

SLP Vs Anoka

Post by SLP Coach »

Tuesday 1/20/04<br>SLP 7 @ Anoka 3<br><br>The score was much closer than the game. Park outshot Anoka 49-19. SLP came out to get the job done right off the get go tonight. Adam scored 7 secs into the game on an assist from Zach. 14 secs later at the 0:21 mark Adam got his 2nd of the night on assists from Zach and Dahl. Park then got their 3rd about 5 mins in on a Dahl goal from Zach and Adam. Then 40 secs later Zach put a pretty move on a breakaway to get his 1st of the night 40 secs later to take the 4-0 lead. Anoka got back into this game by scoring 30 secs after Zach's goal and then again 2 mins later to make it a 4-2 hockey game. Brad added one more to cap off a 5 goal first period when Ryan's shot slid through the 5 hole of Anoka's goalie and Brad was there to finish it off. Zach got his 4 assist of the night on this goal. Anoka scored the only goal of the 2nd to make the scoreboard seem as though this was a close game at 5-3. From that point on Park held their ground. Scoring 2 3rd period goals by one by Zach assisted by Dahl and the other by Adam to complete the Hat Trick. Park held Anoka to only 1 shot in the 3rd period outshooting them 16-1. <br>Two of Anoka's goals were pretty weak, but our goalie was pretty cold tonight. Park hit the left post 5 times and made a ching thought the arena. Park played w/ 9 players the first period and a half then a 10th showed up for the rest of the game. The game started to get out of hand a bit with about 5 mins remaining. At the very end of the game, 3.2 secs remaining, one of Parks players went down and got in a little tussle. A 2nd Park player came into the mix and received "3rd Man in" Game Miscounduct, Stupid Penalty, he should have known better. <p></p><i>Edited by: <A HREF=http://pub33.ezboard.com/bmnhs.showUser ... h@mnhs>SLP Coach</A> at: 1/21/04 9:33 am<br></i>

#2 is probably their best player.<br>#17 can play also but can be taken out of his game by putting the body on him.<br><br>They really seem to get up for the tough games but seem to lack focus on the games that they come in over confident. <br><br>They like to slide their D in from the point into the high slot if they start to control the zone for a bit. <br><br>MNHockeyObs would proabably know more about them.

EP Black

Post by MNHockeyObserver »

SLP is right, I do know more about them. Obviously from my posts I know the coaches, players and parents in Eden Prairie as one of the south Metro cities I frequent. And I could probably tell you enough about them to give you a huge advantage tonight; player-by-player. <!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>BUT,</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END--> then we'd have to listen to RinkRat22 vice my walnuts for giving away a team's secrets! (Lighten up, it's a joke!) Besides, the world knew Michael Jordan was great, but the opponents still couldn't stop him.<br><br>EP Black is a talented team with balanced lines and balanced defensemen that gets solid goaltending. One of their goaltenders is from Jefferson, but you will see their #1 G tonight. They have been inconsistent this year, as SLP mentioned, playing poorly against poor teams and well against tougher ones, like Elk River. The even started slowly in that ER game, so I don't think they are even sure which team will start the game. Bottom line, they are a good <!--EZCODE UNDERLINE START--><span style="text-decoration:underline">team</span><!--EZCODE UNDERLINE END--> and overall should play that way. Wanna give me some Bville secrets? <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :D --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... /happy.gif ALT=":D"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br><br>BTW, how did the Hastings scrimmage go on Monday? <p></p><i></i>

After that:<br><br>any body know much about NSP?<br>It seems as though, when they come to play (and others look by them) they can really put together a good game. <br>I know their record doesn't say much .... but a 6-6 tie to tartan and a close 2-1 loss to WB-Black sure says something.<br><br>Anyone?Anyone?

Hastings

Post by BVILLEJRGOLD »

HockeyObs - <br>Thanks for the info. I understand you can't get into too much detail. The Hastings scrimmage was good for both of our teams. It was back and forth all night. The final score ended up 3-1 them. We had a goal about 1 foot over the goal-line pulled out. The ref didn't see it go in. We also hit 4 pipes. After the game the Hastings coach said he was glad the pipes were on his side. I would say one of the goals our goalie let in was weak. We scrimmage them again on the 29th. It is a very good matchup. It will benefit both teams to play competition like this. Again the case seems to be we don't do as well if it is not a league game. I guess I would rather have us playing well in league than Tourneys or Scrimmages. We'll see what team shows up tonight. <br>BRAVESCOACH<br> <p></p><i></i>

slp,<br><br>From what i understand NSP has some speed and night be too dumb to quit playing hard. All i ask is that you pummel them for me. Their coach has been draggin my name though the mud with my association because we had to reschedule a game. Nothing worse than gettiny screamed at by your on assoc. rep before he hears your side of the story, because some jickyjack started runnin his lip. We play them tomorrow night and it would be nice to have a demoralized squad to play against. You are their fourth game in four nights....TAKE IT TO EM! <p></p><i>Edited by: <A HREF=http://pub33.ezboard.com/bmnhs.showUser ... oachGuy</A> at: 1/21/04 4:42 pm<br></i>

We came from a 3-1 deficit to tie it up. I swear i almost pulled dick vermil in the locker room after the game. We finally got the 3rd period we needed, and got a point. By the way this is the first time in at least 5 years that Roseville JGB hasnt lost to WBL in league play. Congrats guys, you earned it.<br><br> <p></p><i></i>

Bville vs E.P. Blk

Post by BVILLEJRGOLD »

First of all, congrats CoachGuy. That's a big game for you guys. Well, from CoachGuy's happiness to me being more pissed off than I have been all season. You would think when you are playing a team that is 13-1-1 in league your team would show up to play. Everything started on the wrong foot last night. My leading scorer and vocal leader of the team called before the game and was out with a sinus infection. That seemed to bring the whole spirit of the team down last night. Which, by the way is no excuse for the way they played. We should be able to play with or without him. I'm not gunna lie, we got smoked. The 4-1 score could have been worse. It's like ever since we beat Elk River the team thinks they have accomplished all there is to accomplish. Anyways, enough rambling. It'll be a FUN practice tonight. Hopefully we can regroup for SLP for Sunday's tilt. <br>Pissed Off Coach <p></p><i></i>

SLP Vs NSP

Post by SLP Coach »

Well, B'ville, I'm close to being right there along with you. But, I've come to learn that I can not expect the same team to show up for us from game to game.<br><br>Wed 1/21/04<br>SLP 3 Vs NSP 3<br><br>Well there it is, another tie, the fourth one of the season. Park came onto the ice on a mission, controlling the game for the first 5 minutes. Then I believe the over-confidence stepped in and NSP picked up their game to make this a back and forth hockey game. 5 Mins into the game Ryan scored on a breakaway pass from Dane to take the 1-0 lead, but NSP came right back and scored 1:30 later to tie it up. Then Park came back to take the 2-1 lead on an unassisted Ian goal from the point. NSP outshot SLP in the first period 11-3. The 2nd period wasn't much different. NSP scored twice less than a minute apart to take a 3-2 lead. The Park boys seemed really sluggish, possibly their 5th game in as many days started to get to them. Shots were a little better in the 2nd but not much, NSP 20-8. In the 3rd Park came out looking more like the team I have come to see as of late. Ian scored his 2nd of the game unassisted again with a rocket from the point that squeaked through to tie it up 3-3. Shots in the 3rd were much better 13-11. At the end of the game frustration showed in the Park players. One Park player received a GMC after the game for running his mouth at the officials. He will be sitting more than that game, I guarentee that. <br><br>Roseville~ You really should have no problem with this NSP team. They are pretty quick and move the puck well, but are all really small and if you take the body even just a little you'll win every battle. <br><br>This should be an interesting weekend for us.....playing Roseville on Sat and B'ville on Sunday. The first time people from this board match up against each other, and I get em both in the same weekend. Should be fun. <p></p><i></i>

SLP/Bville

Post by MNHockeyObserver »

The bad news, SLP Coach, is that is sounds like coach will have the Bville team whipped by Sunday and they will probably take their aggressions out on their next opponent - you. <br><br>EP Black (4) vs. Burnsville (1) [as you already read]<br>SOG: <br>EP Black - 16-15-13=44<br>Burnsville- 1-4-7=12<br><br>I understand Bville Coach's frustration with his team last night, as it was apparent on the bench. With guys out, especially difference makers, it seemed a far different team. Add to that he best remaining player, in my opinion, #4 getting way off his game mentally as the team struggled. 4 total penalties between the two teams and #4 had two of them, both roughing I think. I did see their goalie congratulating the EP kids as they left the ice. Huge show of class and sportsmanship.<br><br>It was such a mismatch because while Burnsville had trouble getting up for this game, EP did not. It was without question their best game of the season. The were aggressive up front and steady in the back. Mostly they didn't panic, like they had in previous games with lesser teams. They really showed me something last night and will have to move up the rankings on Monday. Off night or not, anytime you only allow one shot in the first period agaiinst a 10-0 team, you are on the ball. The Bville goal was a breakaway and a good hustling play by the Blaze player. <br><br>What I saw most last night was a class showing by both sides in the way they played, interacted and handled themselves. Both teams should be proud of that and should look forward to a March rematch. <p></p><i></i>

Lots of Games this week

Post by RinkRat22 »

Not much to report. It sounds as though either Elk River had an off night v Burnville or the mighty Burnsville had an off night v EP Black. Either way, that is why this league is great -you'll never which team shows up. SLP took it to Anoka - great, that team is not very good - but you have to beat someone?! Tying NSP is not all that bad. I was under the impression that RAVE was better than NSP but seeing them both play, I have reversed that opionion. True, SLP, if you body the little NSPers you can out man them. They have some very good skaters and play some good, sound defensive zone. You should feel better about that tie than you do about that W v the Tornados. Looks like MNOsvr likes to watch EP hockey and sure has a handle on who does what. That Black team is very good and should not be taken lighty. <p></p><i></i>

I cannot tell you who had an off night when but I can say our teams performance vs. Elk River was night and day different from E.P. Black. You are correct about this making the league better. You never know who is going to come out and play on what night. The playoffs in this league are going to be thrilling to say the least. <br>Still pissed off Coach - <p></p><i></i>

Post by RAVECOWBOY »

Rave Junior Gold is coming off a good tournament placing 3rd in Albert Lea. They are a solid team and should be considered highly in the ranking. They have lost to a few bad teams but always play tough against highly ranked opponents. Does anyone else care to share their opinion on the matter? <p></p><i></i>

Well Rave, let me be the first to welcome you to the board, coming here to check out what people have to say thoughout the day is the only thing that gets me though the work day. I can remember when it only used to SLP, Freighttrain, and myself....<br><br>So, welcome, and now let me voice my opinion. Very nice victory over WBL black. It looks like besides the Brookly park game youve gotten some good defense, but like you said, youve got some bad losses. The bottom 2 teams in most rankings are my team, roseville, and Centennial. Neither team has lost to a team below them in the standings, and still has managed to play the top teams tough. So i cant see you in the top ten without a key victory over a ranked opponent.<br><br>just one fat guys opinion... <p></p><i></i>

re:Ravefan

Post by RinkRat22 »

Let me congradulate the RAVE-guy in finding this site as well! The first thing you'll learn here is that you certainly don't have to ask if we'll respond - it'll happen regardless! <br><br>For me, I have seen RAVE play only in 2 games. The first was v EP Black where ya'll lost 2-0. I thought you played well and Black thought you were no as good as you were, nevertheless you played them tough. And, as we see all over this board, most agree that EP Black is one of the best teams. <br><br>Then I saw you lose badly to Tonka 6-0. Now given that everyone has a bad night. (Perhaps you will explain) From what I saw that night v Tonka - you were totally dominated form the drop of the puck. Tonka is 8-0-1 in their last 10 MHL games and is a stronger team now then in early Dec. And teams will be suprised when they play them in Feb, but they have lost to most of the teams above them in the MHL standings. Considering that, you cannot be in the top 10, but you are a MHL playoff team that is for sure! <p></p><i></i>

Tonka

Post by SLP Coach »

This is interesting to see the SLP is Tonka's only non-win out of their last 10. The 9-0-1 (1 being Vs SLP) is quite an impressive string. Congrads to them, this is going to make it even more difficult for the Park squad to reach Playoffs. <p></p><i></i>

Post by RinkRat22 »

From the reports off the bench and watching that game first hand, I think it was a weird game. I think in a playoff format or even at a Tourney that Tonka gets by SLP by 2 or 3 goals. Like I said, everyone has a off-night. No offense to those SLP players reading along here, but I thought that was a pretty good game that ya'll played and Tonka was not on theirs, from what I've seen. <p></p><i></i>
