Maybe, the MSHSL could do the right thing and seed 6 teams and have the next top 4 play for the 2 last spots.
Time for a change??? Something that would be great to watch for all three days.
Not sure I agree with that.
2 or 3 strong teams in one section has been going on for decades.
It's happened in every section at one time or another.

I think that a little more balance in Sections would be nice. 1AA kills me. However, it's always fun to have a couple good Sections because the finals are unbelievable games. Last year I had the most fun watching the Burnsville V Edina game down at Mariucci. I'd say that game had more of a "State" atmosphere than most of the games at the Ex.

you east fans still cant come to grip that you lost to apple valley, i find it ridiculously funny, ur arguement could b said for the game where hermantown lost benilde st. margret, when the "game winning" shot for hermantown went in and out so fast that the ref didnt see but the goal judge called it a goal, and everyone knows the rest of the story, goal got called off and benilde goes onto win the tourney, :( altho we didnt win we at least moved on, actually 2 b honest a lot of people dont even remember that game

I agree the Edina - Burnsville game was the best game in march last year! Combined with the Minnetonka - Benilde game before that created quite the "state" like atmosphere.

Wow, tough crowd. I was six years old and lived in southern Wisconsin when this happened, and had no clue that either of these schools existed. I just wanted a fun little historical matchup, and I have a great deal of respect for and interest in the history of MN hockey. I am in no way bitter about something that is before my time.

And of course I don't think Apple Valley will go to State. I have 3 teams from 1 section in this tournament, and one of them is way worse than Apple Valley. The idea of this thread was to create some sort of fantasy, idealized State Tourney, wasn't it? This just happens to be mine.

It really is a shame that 6 of these teams are packed into 2 sections, while any of these teams could cruise through section 1AA without their first line. Something needs to be done about sections to fix this.
I agree. It is sad to know that some of the top rated 10 teams over the season will not make it to the State Tournament due to their Section placement.
