You're probably right, Albert Lea, Rochester Lourdes, Spring Lake Park, Wadena, Hutchinson, they are all easy games for Marshall

stanryckman wrote:bodangles8, you should check the schedules before you say anything. why dont you check who marshall really plays? you should also look at Hutch's schedule and the conference they are in. they'll be there at the end of the year. and another thing, nu ALWAYS makes excuses when they lose. they never give any team credit when it's deserved. it's always something different. regardless of this, they are still the team to beat imo

Hey, c'mon. Don't generalize that all New Ulm players/fans ALWAYS make excuses. I know that I have made excuses, but I'll straight up admit that Marshall won, and made us look like a pissed off JV team. Fluke or not, Marshall won. Anyway, I think either New Ulm or Marshall takes toughest schedule.

Fanofhockey6 wrote:Wow you are an idiot to say New Ulm has a very weak schedule. I believe they go to the Duluth Marshall tournament who happens to be one of hte top teams in the state. They also have to play shattuck. It's not our fault that the top teams dont want to play us because we keep up with them and make them look bad in the rankings. And I wasnt talking about the marshall forwards skating around burgau and kohn so get your story right.

My mistake, i must have been too focused on fairmont, waseca, prairie centre, and st. peter...As for Duluth Marshall,

I am eager to see how NU does in the tournament and i wish them the best of luck

And as for rankings....yep it looks like NU is making everyone look bad

WILLMAR — A penalty shot and an open-net goal, all in the last minute of the game, dealt Willmar another hard loss in boys hockey on Saturday night at the Civic Center.
In their first meeting ever, the Marshall Tigers upended the Cardinal, their Section 3A foe, 4-2 in a non-conference game.
Willmar (1-7) enjoyed a 2-1 lead after Josh Mead scored at 9:07 of the third period.
The goal resulted from some steady pressure applied by Mead, Joel Schendel and Matt Kroneberger during a 4-on-4.
In a game with quality chances few for either team, Willmar’ one-goal lead looked sound. But Marshall got its’ sixth man-advantage of the game three minutes later and at 12:05 John Doom beat Willmar goalie John Mattison.
With just over a minute left in the third period, Marshall got a clean breakaway out of center ice. Mattison deflected Danny Hanson’s shot from the left side. However, defenseman Matt Kroneberger, whose second period goal had tied the game 1-1, was called for hooking Hanson’s arm.
Hanson was awarded a penalty shot and this time he went straight at Mattison jamming the puck under his pads. Tony Krogen slapped an 80-footer into an unguarded Willmar net with :01 left for the final.
Tigers’ goalie Paul Ivers made 28 saves coming off a 7-1 over New Ulm.
Marshall improved to 7-1, the best start by the decade-old hockey program. Willmar lost its seventh straight, a skid in which it has been outscored 30 goals to 10.

Can we get off the topic of excuses I'm sure Marshall has made some in there day too. Marshall won NU lost end of story. I did not Know that Marshall held the lead 6 - 2 - 1 good for them. Lets move forward.

ok to all the eagle faithfull, you got your but whooooped, admit and move on, untill you beat Marshall you got nothing to holler at, and as of this point in time you got to put Marshall at the top of the section,,, times may change down the road , but they have the braggin rights as of now untill someboy steps up and beats them,,,,,,, and how in the world do you make up excusses in 7-1 butt whippen,

What is the love for Burgau and Kohn? Looked like average "D" at best.

burgau is decent but i have never even heard of kohn???

atleast spell butt right....we are all adults here. And im pretty sure the toughness of your schedule does matter. If you play tough teams all year long it will really help you in the long run. Marshall has the most pathetic fan-base in the state and this is a fact. Go to a New Ulm game and you will be blown away. To bad they dont play in tiny Vogel arena anymore. That place used to really rock. And Kohn is ranked in the top Jr. defensemen in the state so learn his name. And Burgau is number two.

I don't know if I would agree with that, I heard the "Start the buses" cheer very loud and clear at the Marshall v New Ulm game not to mention a few more of the classic ones that probably left a little sting on New Ulm's way out

I dont know if that loss bruised your ego or not? but it seems to me your a little sore just because of the loss. I dont why you have to bash the marshall fans when all ive heard is good things of them, im pretty sure both teams have great fan attendance and involvment, thats what makes their games so much fun.

Can you give me a link to this information that ranks all junior defensemen in the state?

I liked all of the Marshall cheers actually, and I am thinking the "just like football" may have stung or maybe the "is that a 7" "is that a 1"... They were great. I'd like to know how it is a fact? As far as I can tell between the fans and the team Marshall blew New Ulm away.

Marshall has the most pathetic fan-base in the state and this is a fact.

how is that a fact. i believe that is a opinion if i have ever seen one and if you were at the game when marshall won 7-1 to a pathetic looking new ulm you would have heard great cheers from the marshall student section you may be thinking of student sections of years past but the marshall maniacs are as crazy as ever. You might want to get your facts straight maybe new ulm should practice more on the ice then the cheers they are going to do.

I also want to see these rankings.
NU needs to take a look at their team and fix the mess, they have 1 line and that line likes the box. Average "D".

wow roarzeagle w/e...u say marshall or new ulm have the toughest schedule..ur must be high or something! ok look at LDC athey play orono-mound-st. cloud cathedral-holy family all twice..NU and Marshall don't play anybody that even comes close to as good as them.

ok moving on.....anyone have any predictions now on how they think the section will unfold at the end of the year?? ranking by order

Yeah Albert Lea,Duluth Marshall, Rochester Lourdes, they arent any good at all, no where near as good as Holy Family..

1.Marshall
2.New Ulm
3.Hutch
4.Willmar
5.LDC
6.Luverne
7.Windom
8.Worthington
9.Redwood
10.Sleepy Eye
11.Fairmont

Between Hutch willmar and LDC i think any of them could end up with the 3 spot there all about equal.

how is willmar number four when they haven't even beat any good section team?? and litch has beat willmar and tied hutch soo how are they below them? u have no clue what ur talking about stick to ur day job

bodangles, your right if it was the end of the section now, but thats not what i asked for, i asked how they think it will end, and obviously by putting willmar ahead of those teams they think they will beat them, its not where we are at now, its how you think the rest of the games will play out.

Right now I see Marshall winning, I think New Ulm could too and possibly any of the top 4 seeds or more depending on a great tourney, upsets etc. But if Marshall plays like it they are the best team in the section from what I've seen.

where is the section final at??

i'm pretty sure Gustavus but i may be wrong.

Gustavus
