I hope your right, but I afraid it wont be close with Hermantown.greenway1969 wrote:I guess I'm going to have to start believing Greenway is a good Single A team. Putting North Shore into running time was something I didn't expect. North Shore had 8 shots on goal for the entire game. The game with Hermantown will hopefully be a good one. This will be Greenway's first time playing an elite team in a long time.
North shore could barely beat redwood valley so that tells you how good they are! I guess that ends the talk about them.notTONIGHT wrote:I hope your right, but I afraid it wont be close with Hermantown.greenway1969 wrote:I guess I'm going to have to start believing Greenway is a good Single A team.

SPA beat MA 3-0.rainier wrote:Quick A takes from tonight:
-Apollo showing they are every bit a state title contender by taking Breck to OT.
-Mahtomedi reminding everyone they will be a factor in A by beating STA.
-Hibbing squeaking by an inferior opponent in Virginia. Bad omen, or did they display some mental toughness by winning a game despite the opposing goalie standing on his head?
-Greenway throttling I-Falls. Style points aren't given out, but 10-1 is a thorough destruction.
-Delano also squeaking by a lesser team.
-TRF playing a solid AA team tough (Moorhead) shouldn't hurt their ranking much.

Are you forgetting that this Apollo team, who returned most of their team, beat Breck in OT in the quarterfinals of state last year?rainier wrote:Quick A takes from tonight:

Yes, because Greenway is a ranked team, and Waconia is not. Not too hard to figure out there. I can't tell if you actually believe in what you write or if you just throw inane comments out there to get a response. You've been doing it for years, so I guess I shouldn't be surprised that it continues.HShockeywatcher wrote:Noteworthy Class A scores tonight:

Breck definitely lost less players in their goalie and 2 others compared to Apollo's 6, but there's a reason this Apollo team started the year where they did.
So, when your team beats a team 4-2, with all of their goals coming on the power play, it's a "quality win," but when another team beats a conference opponents 4-2 on the road they "squeaked by?"
I was at the Apollo - Breck game last night and honestly there were times I thought Breck was better and times I thought Apollo was better. I think in the end Apollo was just fatigued as most of the kids have to play JV and they only run 3 d-men. At state, if they make it, they won't have to play JV and should have fresher legs. Apollo is definitely a threat at state if they get there.HShockeywatcher wrote:Noteworthy Class A scores tonight:

One thing to remember at the state tournament is all the TV timeouts. You can pretty much run 2 lines if need be.Mite-dad wrote:I was at the Apollo - Breck game last night and honestly there were times I thought Breck was better and times I thought Apollo was better.

Go for it.CornerBar wrote:With the season winding down could we maybe get some Class A rankings every week, as opposed to every other?
The issue with Class A is that often teams don't play many meaningful games in just one week. You often have a team get upset in their only game of the week or in 1 of 2 games and artificially drop multiple spots because it's been one week. It happens every year. This year going every two weeks has been nice because you get a much better picture from rankings to rankings. But I can make every week work for the rest of the season since teams do have a bigger body of work piled up already.CornerBar wrote:With the season winding down could we maybe get some Class A rankings every week, as opposed to every other?
I would but I figured I'd see if HShockeywatcher would want to do it, being as its already his thing.Bluelightspecial-II wrote:Go for it.CornerBar wrote:With the season winding down could we maybe get some Class A rankings every week, as opposed to every other?
I completely agree with everything you said there. But like you said with teams having a bigger body of work I think it would be nice to see one every week.HShockeywatcher wrote:The issue with Class A is that often teams don't play many meaningful games in just one week.
