Miller and Troumbly are back but there is something missing from this team and I can’t put my finger on it. Last year’s team just had a good feel for whatever reason. It would not surprise me if Chaska puts them in running time and Orono beats them by two,
iirc it was one of the rare games where Tonka had fewer penalties than their opponent and made BSM pay going 2 for 4 while killing both of BSM's PP opportunities.
The box score has two Tonka power play goals and a shortie. I thought Pete Waggoner announced three PP goals at the end of the game summary.
The Skippers totally dominated special teams play last night. Benilde could keep the puck in the offensive zone only for brief stretches on their opportunities, and they really struggled clearing their zone on Minnetonka's opportunities. This huge difference in special teams played a major part in the game's outcome.JerseyDave wrote: ↑Fri Jan 04, 2019 9:48 am The box score has two Tonka power play goals and a shortie.

A lot of hockey between now and sections, and have to play Stillwater again.TheNightman wrote: ↑Thu Jan 03, 2019 11:53 pm White Bear sitting pretty for a #1 seed in 4AA after that win over Stillwater.
Couldn’t agree with your take anymore! Gervais and Tollefson were both great in the nets! Bad whistle by the ref on the no goal by Levandowski but that’s part of hockey. St Thomas came out storming In the 1st 7-8 minutes of the game. After that 7-8 minutes Rosemount outshot St Thomas 43-16 and held St Thomas to 12 shots on net in the final 2 periods. Great take on Rosemount’s 4D as well! Will be a great game if these two reach the section finals.WestMetro wrote: ↑Fri Jan 04, 2019 11:09 am OBOY
I was down on the far blue line. Had a bad angle on the play. I definitely heard the whistle, so I knew the play was dead when puck went in, rightly or wrongly. But had no idea the call was so bad. Too bad for the Irish, they played a super game. . I was really impressed with Irish D. Both slowing down opposing offense and protecting goalie, as well as quick sharp consistent on the tape breakout passes and not holding onto the puck too long. IMHO they are the heart of this team, at least this night. ( About only mistake the whole game was not getting a stick on the puck or knocking Soderling out of the low slot before he scored his nice goal). Credit to Gervais for 40+ stops to save the win for STA, who better be worried come Section time. Definitely worth my adventure out of the West Metro.
Oboy: "Rosemount puts a nice shot on net, Gervais kicks out about a 5’ rebound and Levandowski knocks it home! That would’ve tied the game at 2 but the ref blew the whistle and thought the goalie had it. The goalie never had it."
So, you do agree it was never covered and there shouldn’t have been a whistle! 3 seconds
I think the game sheet is correct ... No question the Skipps dominated! And agree re: penalties, fewer for Tonka than usual; & they do frustrate thier opponents. But BSM started strong & looked like maybe they’d be a good challenge. It was a good game.MNHockeyFan wrote: ↑Fri Jan 04, 2019 10:16 amThe Skippers totally dominated special teams play last night.
