I was trying to figure out if Stolp was the starting goalie or not in '89.Slap Shot wrote: ↑Fri Mar 03, 2023 7:35 amYes but the goalie question was for a Greenway vs. Kennedy game a few years earlier and not the Gophers in '89.Nostalgic Nerd wrote: ↑Fri Mar 03, 2023 6:50 am I'm fairly sure that was Stauber in goal during the 88/89 season.
It was definitely Stauber for the Gophers in the game vs. Harvard, although iirc Stolp had more than a dozen starts during the season.Nostalgic Nerd wrote: ↑Fri Mar 03, 2023 7:40 amI was trying to figure out if Stolp was the starting goalie or not in '89.Slap Shot wrote: ↑Fri Mar 03, 2023 7:35 amYes but the goalie question was for a Greenway vs. Kennedy game a few years earlier and not the Gophers in '89.Nostalgic Nerd wrote: ↑Fri Mar 03, 2023 6:50 am I'm fairly sure that was Stauber in goal during the 88/89 season.
You're right on both counts with Stolp.Nostalgic Nerd wrote: ↑Fri Mar 03, 2023 2:15 am 1987 Kennedy vs Greenway semi. 4-2 final.
3-1 Kennedy after 1st. Jason Miller ended up with 6 goals or so for the tourney. He had a strong slapper. Going into the 3rd Greenway was really taking it to them, but goalie Chris Lund made a number of quality saves to shut the door. Although percentage wise it wasn't wise, but I really enjoy the stand up goaltending. The kick out save and when they'd come really far out to cut the angle were pretty fun.Plus it will never be the same without the clear boards.
I believe that was Stolp in goal for Greenway. He played for the Gophers.
I was also at this game; then rewatched it a couple weeks ago. Stolp had one of those brain fart games we occasionally saw when he played for the Gophers. He gave up bad goals in the first period. On the Miller goal, although partially screened, he was out of position on a slapper from just inside the blue line. On the Decker goal, he could not have given up a juicier rebound, as he looked momentarily stunned and failed to clear the puck. And he terribly misplayed the 3rd goal on a slapshot he saw all the way. Likely did not help Greenway that Gary Gustason missed the game with a shoulder injury - probably their #2 defenseman. Heck of a game by Kennedy, though. Greenway probably had more overall top-end talent, but Kennedy coach Erickson had a wonderful game plan.raidergrad72 wrote: ↑Fri Mar 03, 2023 3:53 pmYou're right on both counts with Stolp.Nostalgic Nerd wrote: ↑Fri Mar 03, 2023 2:15 am 1987 Kennedy vs Greenway semi. 4-2 final.

I saw Coach Bob Germander at a game in Coleraine the next season and he said if Kennedy and Greenway played 10 games, each would win 5.
Yes 8-3. Then I think SSP beat Edina in the consolation semis 7-5. SSP beat Hill in the con finals. I remember the coach tearing up over that win. I'm pretty sure OT.mnmouth wrote: ↑Tue Mar 07, 2023 7:31 amI was also at this game; then rewatched it a couple weeks ago.

Better yet, Greenway may have handed Edina its worst loss ever at State, whacking the Hornets 8-3 in the Quarterfinals. I'll leave others on this forum to confirm whether this was the case.
