Hill never got better at any point this year. I didn’t witness any growth from game 1 to last night’s loss. Usually Hill teams round into form late in the year. Whether that’s better D, or a feeling of more depth, etc. Never happened this year and I’m not sure why. I also never felt like Hanggi lived up to his potential. I had high hopes for him in goal this year and after watching several games live, I can say that I thought he was shakier than I expected.
Good luck to the teams left. Definitely wild sections so far

Good to know. I was strictly going off their seedings.East Side Pioneer Guy wrote: ↑Thu Feb 26, 2026 11:10 amThat stretches the definition of 'upset', to put it mildly. It's a near even money game in most years, and even more so this year. No one who paid attention to Stillwater down the stretch was surprised by this in the least.north_bear wrote: ↑Thu Feb 26, 2026 7:11 am WBL beats Stillwater in OT. Seems like another year of upsets.

Re: 4AA semi-finals
I think Eadt Ridge won like 9 of there last 11 or something like that so not sure that is sputtering. Were up 3 to 1 mid 2nd Gentry did a great job finding there way back for the win.

Oh right, the Zephs. Never mind.
Overall it's a down year for this section, amiright? Bears around 500, Stillwater sputtering at the end just like East Ridge, and an average Hill team. It's entirely possible Gentry will be playing next week. I personally don't care which of the survivors wins on Friday, they're all about the same, and Hill was just a nose better (on the season) than the others. No one expected this Hill team to dominate this section this year.
I stand by my supposition, Gentry belongs in A, but I guess if you can get lucky once in a while, you might as well do it in AA than in A, given the Zeph's lock on their section.

Re: 4AA semi-finals
Well down the stretch they beat Stillwater. Then they lost to White Bear, when a win over the.500 Bears could have a seed as high as #2. Then to close out the regular season they barely got past Park. Being up by two on Gentry then losing meant a disappointing end to the season that had looked promising ten days before.Gotothenetman wrote: ↑Thu Feb 26, 2026 4:08 pmI think Eadt Ridge won like 9 of there last 11 or something like that so not sure that is sputtering.
