My understanding was Hutch really wanted to play Luverne this year, and reluctantly let them off the schedule. This was necessary to Schedule HDM and Totino. After the Lopsided games last year between the two it was a no brainer. Looks like Hutch is for real this year. It would have undoubtedly been a better game (maybe).MrGoalieBoy wrote:I know it is early, but it looks like Luverne and Hutchinson will be the teams to beat this year, with New Ulm in the mix as well. But some of these teams may run into trouble at the goaltending position down the stretch. I would love to see a Luverne/Hutchinson game this year. Too bad Hutchinson refuses to drive down to Luverne......
Or just one line.hawkenjonny wrote:If rolling 1-4 evenly for the last period or two of an obvious blowout is what is being down down in Cardville, then last year those lines must have been insanely uneven given the number of blowout games and goals scored by lines one and two compared to three. Obviously the top two lines are expected to score more, but the difference was unreal. Hopefully the teams that are in this situation will get some more balanced scoring because to be competitive with better teams, you need more than just two lines that can function. Hard to argue with those that claim it is just stats padding Herb because that is sure how it LOOKS. Didn't watch so don't claim to know, just looking at numbers. Glad to hear if running all lines equally when the situation warrants it.
I am sure the head man down there is aware that one high scoring line will only get you so far, and in most sections not to the X. Better find some scoring from another line. Although, if lines 2 and 3 can keep the opposition from scoring like they have been doing, that might do it to. The goals against numbers are low, but then so are the shots allowed. Goaltending percentages nothing to write home about, but haven't needed to be as of yet. Keep rolling.Oh, alright, thanks for that! Very interesting to see how Luverne does against an impressive St Paul Academy squad this weekend. Go Cards!

Im interested to see how New Ulm handles Marshall tomorrow. Murphy's law (google it Bettman, its worth a google) was very evident for Luverne last night. As was expected in a rivalry game. Luverne Missing a top 3 Defenseman almost bit them hard last night. The JAZ line really bailed them out last night with 10 combined points.
Hey guys let's remember St. Paul Academy hasn't played anyone yet either this year! Will be tested on Thursday night...MrGoalieBoy wrote:Oh, alright, thanks for that!

Now if Luverne had this schedule, and they win these games, the Cardinal Nation would probably get some of the respect they think they deserve.InigoMontoya wrote:Just perusing the schedules of a couple section teams, I don't think anyone has a tougher stretch of games than LDC's second half of January.
