prospector i completely agree with you. mv is not a bad team, everyone looks down on them because of the past. the lost to cretin with 30 seconds left in the game, beat white bear and tied tartan without their best player. some people just have to accept the fact mv isnt as bad as they have been in the past. and about the whole threat thing, there was no direct threat towards wolter, someone took something the wrong way. not many of these mv players like wolter because of him switching to white bear. yes, people are gonna be out to get him. i know there is nothing the mv players wanted more than to beat him their senior year, after he transfered to play for a "better team".

MV is not bad, but awfully inconsistent, and it boils down to goalie Dylan Culver.
How could he give up 5 goals versus a lowly, relatively pathetic Roseville team, and 4 goals against a new team in East Ridge, but then be relatively dominant versus WBL and Tartan?
WBL completely dominated MV for the final 10 minutes of the game, only giving up the one shot during that time, that found the back of the net.
So, it's pretty clear that Culver will be the key to the team's success.

I agree, MV is playing very competetive hockey and winning games they haven't in the past. Like someone stated this is done with them missing not only their leading scorer from a year ago but the SEC leading scorer from a year ago. MV is not much different then most the teams in the SEC when it comes to what it will take to win, goaltending. Most of the teams in the SEC will have to have solid goalending or they will not fair well. Goldfish isn't that what killed you against MV.

That's usually how you'll tell who won the game pretty simple. Bottom line is who plays hard, is improving and wins. MV seems to be off to a good start doing thoughs. Can they keep it up who knows. I'll say they have with know doubt closed the gap. When you can beat a team you've lost to the last 15 years that's making the right steps. Being from the area they have all my support and hope they can keep it up. It's been a long time.
GF keep up the good work on the forum and best of luck to your Bears this year.

Well, thanks, and all I can do is callz it like I seez it. My opinion not be what people want to hear, but I state my opinions on facts about the quality of, effectiveness of play and decisions made. I am as happy for the Mustangs getting a big win, as I am sorry for the WBL loss...
I like the effort MV is getting, except for the Oreo games they just had... a 3-2 win vs WBL- with a not so pretty win 5-4 vs East Ridge in the middle - followed by the outside sweet effort versus Tartan.. BUT, a win vs East Ridge is still a W, and last I checked, their record is about the same as WBL..
It's just a game, right??

You do have a point if the goaltending is consistant and they can stay healthy (Bradley is likely done for the season) they may turn a few heads. they did OK in the Hibbing tourny this weekend 1-1-1 the loss was to Chaska, Culver did NOT play but Chaska out played them most of the game

Bradley had to get surgery on his ankle, he got surgery in fall but they messed up, now he had to go back and get surgery again to fix it... Won't be back for a month or so... He played a little of 2nd line and first

from what I'm told he was the leading scorer in the SEC last year? If he does come back that could be huge.

Hopefully, Bradley will be able to get back this year, but there's like 7 weeks before Sections... Good luck to him in his recovery.. It's more about a future quality of life versus a hockey life... But if he can enjoy both again, that would be great.
