Read Coach Esse's quote in the Duluth paper this morning on how his team was outplayed yesterday. I wonder if he would agree with you on whether Rapids can represent? Probably not. But then again, last year it was the same talk about whether GR could compete. We'll see what pans out this coming weekend.BIAFP wrote:Congratulations to the Thunderchickens!!!

There is a reason for that. It is simply that Rapids is so good that the forced the opponent to play like that. Now they have to keep it going through state this year.

GR looked to be the hungrier team, and also the more poised club. The way they're playing right now should bring some hope to the northland for some more hardware. Didn't care much for Steve Jezerkski and his poor commentary though. He owes the Grand Rapids team and fans an apology for his obvious dislike. Almost all his comments were in negative fashion and he sounded disappointed when things went GR's way. And not to be so petty, but the next time he knows he's announcing a game, he should try to learn how to pronounce the player's names. Very annoying!
P.S. For you diehard GR fans out there, the Rapids Bantam A team is playing in the North Region Final with an opportunity to go to the state
tourney. Posting a record so far of 39-11 with wins this season over
Duluth East, Cloquet, Brainerd, Moorhead and Elk River. Hopefully a small glimpse into the next few years at the high school level.
GR3343, I was given a heads-up by a friend about how biased Steve was coming across during the broadcast. One can't forgive him for this because of his Cloquet roots. I've only had the chance to edit out the commercials prior to burning to DVD so I haven't yet watched the broadcast. I'll probably comment more after seeing it.GR3343 wrote:Missed the game live, was at my son's Bantam A Regional in Virginia, but just had the privelege to watch the game on tape.

. Rapids outplayed Cloquet for most of the game and it was fun to watch two northern teams duke it out. Good luck GR and represent 7AA well-which you will. P.S. I don't think Rapids first goal should have counted.Why?ilovehockey15 wrote:P.S. I don't think Rapids first goal should have counted.
I saw the replay on TV and a Grand Rapids player lowered his head and smashed into Ellingson, therefore preventing him from beign able to play the puck.boblee wrote:Why?ilovehockey15 wrote:P.S. I don't think Rapids first goal should have counted.
Yeah, would be interested in what I/we missed on that first goal.boblee wrote:Why?ilovehockey15 wrote:P.S. I don't think Rapids first goal should have counted.
Watch closely. #21 in orange is swinging at the puck to try to bat in the rebound. That is why his head was down. Good play, good goal.ilovehockey15 wrote:I saw the replay on TV and a Grand Rapids player lowered his head and smashed into Ellingson, therefore preventing him from beign able to play the puck.boblee wrote:Why?ilovehockey15 wrote:P.S.
