Hermantown would beat both of them!northwoods oldtimer wrote:OK, I'll settle it.
Eagan is better than Edina.
It's like two 5 year old's arguing over a piece of candy.
Yeah, but the difference is that if Eagan skipped out of their home-and-home commitments to play @EP and @Tonka this year, they would have tried to replace those teams with somebody like H-M (e.g. Wayzata).HShockeywatcher wrote:You are definitely mis-quoting DanfromWoodbury. He didn't mention MG at all, nor did he say to take them out of their schedule, just that Edina's SOS is that much better.
But, let's live in the world of misquoting so it makes your point work. Number looking up time:
So, before I even crunch the numbers, I know Edina will still be higher. Of their 18 remaining games, 10 are against top 20 teams. Of Eagan's 23 games, 6 are against top 20 teams.
Edina's whole schedule 20.73, #2.
Minus MG/Tonka 19.90, which puts them at #12 in the state.
Eagan is at 19.26, #22 in state.
Minus EP/Tonka, 18.03; #43 in state.
So yes, Edina's schedule is still much more difficult than Eagan's. Glad I wasted my time to prove something easily seen by actually looking at the two schedules
The issue is that (to not hurt feelings) only 4 are seeded at state. Whether it makes sense or not, some want Eagan to be seeded.keepyourheadup wrote:Its amazing to me that the issue of being ranked forth or fifth can create all this acrimony. By definition doesn't this mean both teams should be pretty evenly matched? Most of all us would agree that there appears to be 5 teams at the top and then a bit of a drop. Is it not good enough to be included in that group or am I missing something?

While I agree they should have to be matched up with the 4th seed, I don't think the difference between 1 and 5 is that huge.

As for why the partisans are making a fuss? Sure, there's some pre-seed lobbying and posturing going on, but it's also hard for me, as a Wildcat fan, to listen to Edina backers whine about Eagan's soft schedule. Especially since their team helped weaken it! Still waiting to hear somebody explain to me why Edina didn't complete the home-and-home and play @Eagan this season, or why the Hornets chose to replace Eagan's spot in their so much stronger schedule with a team like Anoka.
Your a comedian..lol..at least you should be..I highly doubt you have seen Eagan play because you would never make that comment if you had, I have seen all the top teams in 7AA play in person and trust me Eagan could beat any one of them, including East.TheHockeyDJ wrote:If Eagan was in 7AA they'd get beat in the quarterfinals.

Why so quick to write off EP this year? I think this year has more depth across the board than last years state winning team which relied heavily on Rau.hshockeyfan8 wrote:I don't think anyone will have the opportunity to jump on the EP bandwagonFREDFLINTSTONE wrote:Must be playoff time again....HHF is churping....just don't come over to EP this year and buy all that EP apparell like you did last year.HappyHockeyFan wrote:Your a comedian..lol..at least you should be..I highly doubt you have seen Eagan play because you would never make that comment if you had, I have seen all the top teams in 7AA play in person and trust me Eagan could beat any one of them, including East.

Not even close, last years team had a ton of depth. I'm not saying its impossible for them to make it, they have proved they can, but it will be tough for them to get past BSM and Tonka. Also, after looking at the stats of their game against AV (3-2 W) it showed that none of the guys on their top line played, anyone know anything about that?newtendy29fan wrote:Why so quick to write off EP this year?

Well, if it wasn't Karl, it would have been someone else.PuckU126 wrote:Look at what you have started, Karl.
You have sullied and ruined the forum because you ranked Edina above Eagan.

Oh, I don't know...if Karl hadn't ranked Edina higher this week after Eagan tied Jefferson there'd probably have been just as much "discussion" generated by Hornet fans and HSHW registering their displeasure.PuckU126 wrote:Look at what you have started, Karl.

Wow, that's not true at all. Edina fans are pretty quiet compared to you Eagan fans on the forum.almostashappy wrote:Oh, I don't know...if Karl hadn't ranked Edina higher this week after Eagan tied Jefferson there'd probably have been just as much "discussion" generated by Hornet fans

In fact, Karl's rankings are the only rankings that have Edina ranked above Eagan. The Hub, LPH, Pagestat and Follow the Puck all have Eagan ranked higher than Edina. Where are the Edina fans with their pitchforks and torches?
Feel happy 4/5 polls agree with you and move on.
Of course! I know there are Eagan fans that are only trilled they have a very talented club, regardless of their ranking.gopherpuck516 wrote:For the record, not ALL Eagan fans are upset about the rankings.
Well I think Benilde is not that good given the cream puff schedule they play, and when was the last year that a good Tonka team did not CHOKE at playoff time.......they should change the name from the Skippers to Chokers.....hshockeyfan8 wrote:I don't think anyone will have the opportunity to jump on the EP bandwagonFREDFLINTSTONE wrote:Must be playoff time again....HHF is churping....just don't come over to EP this year and buy all that EP apparell like you did last year.HappyHockeyFan wrote:Your a comedian..lol..at least you should be..I highly doubt you have seen Eagan play because you would never make that comment if you had, I have seen all the top teams in 7AA play in person and trust me Eagan could beat any one of them, including East.
