Now, what does that mean?
I dont think the Rams should necessarily be punished for it and not seeded, but they shpuldn't get a pass on it either.
I don't understand how Roseau won last night. Moorhead's regular season schedule was much tougher.

So were the schedules of 4O other schools.

Its a seeding discussion BIAFP. I have yet to hear about a seeding meeting where strength of schedule wasn't discussed.

the only way roseau schedule could have been any weaker is if we played ssp..

As a "Citiot" and an Edina pimp, many of us have great respect for the north
some may even call it envy.
My experience leads me to believe that, year in - year out, great hockey is played up north.

Don't take the ribbing too hard.
There is absolutely
no way Roseau will not be seeded #1, even Cake Eaters know as much.

B...........We've had this conversation before. The SOS trophies are in a dusty cloak room in Braemar's East Rink.
Hidden from normal view!

Roseau played many teams that are weaker than SSP.
Kinda shot yourself in the foot on that one, eh?

Three hundred sixty-four thousand, seven hundred and eleven if you include Girls Tennis.
Packerboy, Roseau didn't play the hardest schedule. Doesn't matter, they're obviously very good.
Maybe they will lose in St. Paul, but if "Cindy Crawford is beautiful" is a fact so is "Roseau has a great HS hockey team" this season.
Still planning on seeing an Edina-Roseau final. Enough wondering has been done on who would win a game between the two. Wouldn't it be nice to know?

I know O-Town is very aware of how good Roseau is. And he knows that I do also. They very well
could be the best team in the state. But were talking about whats been proven here, and not because "watchdog or BIAFP says". To say Roseau is #1 is an opinion, and its arguable due to a less than stellar SOS. And one thing I know about packerboy is that if its arguable, he will argue it.

It just so happens I agree with him.
agreed

Neut:
"Roseau is #1" does not equal "Roseau is the #1 seed". They are the #1 seed. What is this thread about?
The discussions on Roseau and their schedule or perceived weaknesses belong on the "Who will win state?" threads.

Cindy's no prize...
Just curious, from those involved in the discussion, how many have seen Roseau or any of the teams on Roseau's schedule play?

The only opinions that count are the opinions of the 8 coaches who vote. I'm guessing SOS will come up.

You are right Neut but all seriousness aside, I am not saying Roseau shouldnt be #1 just to be difficult or argue something. I really dont believe that they deserve it.
If Edinas was 19-6 or something, fine but they lose 2 games by one goal each to BSM and Tonka and so that puts them at #2 because Roseau is undefeated with that schedule. Bullship.

My $.02 =
Edina
Hill
Roseau
Benilde
Why? Because of who they play. SOS should and will matter.

In all honesty, they finished on top last season and haven't lost since - it's hard to argue against them being #1. They've earned it... Doesn't mean it's not fun just to get the Rams' faithful riled up though!

I've seen Roseau twice and found them to be very, very dangerous
looking at it from an Edina point of view.

Roseau had the 8th toughest schedule in MSHS hockey this season.

I have never been to a HS hockey seeding meeting but I have talked to guys that have. How a team did last year was never discussed as a critera. Is it?
