Hey, I'm the guy wearing the red jacket. Or is it blue?
Now it's 7-4. The Cards won't overcome this deficit.
ELO!

Its over
Eagles on to state.
This thread might blow up in the next few days. Im sure Scout will be gloating like he scored a hatty tonight and the cards faithful will be rattled to say the least. Just sounded to me like Luverne was not a good defensive hockey team. Much like I saw against SPJ during HDM.

one of the worst defensive games I've seen in awhile. New Ulm's goalie played decent enough to win, Sleepy Eye's goalie I should say, Luverne's didn't. Very bad defensive effort from Luverne, hate to say it, but both of these teams would get absolutely smoked by Hermantown. Meyer was easily the best goalie to come through section for the past few years. Goodluck to NU/SE, represent 3A well!

Meyer, not the best goalie to come through Section 3A, maybe, hard to say, had the best team in Section 3A in the last few years in front of him last year and did a damn good job keeping the puck out of the net, but beaten the year prior by a team who needed a goalie oh so much more than last year's Luverne squad (when JAZ wasn't even the top line).
Sleepy Eye executed their instructions,
1. Frustrate talent with effort, don't commit penalties (this is where I'm saying from firsthand observation the referees did not decide the game, I don't care if Don is watching you play, when you use your upper body to pull and your leg to push, its a slough foot, and a good ref will call you for tripping, and a good team will take the lead and never trail in the game).
2. Weather the storm, cross your fingers your goalie can bail you out, if the puck comes high get it out w/ possession and exploit awful defense, including one highly touted Charlie Conway, who's game I generally have respected but calmness under pressure and vision would have served him, and apparently the faithful well, who would take his and His name in vain in the same sentence, too much pressure maybe?, and long scripture long....
3. Put the puck away when you have the chance. New Ulm/SE had the formula and executed it.
I would hope all players in tonight's game hold their head up, I saw no lack of effort or heart from either team. Many moments, individual and collective, positive and negative, will have left a mark on their memories, hopefully for the better, now and/or later, whether it be the former or the latter. The kids played, and they should be proud, even if Dad, Tom, Dick and Harry take awhile to come around.
I also would hope the faithful at some point may tire of pretending to be better than they are, and accept reality. Its good to have goals and dreams, and lofty ones, but its also good to have some concept of reality when set upon the pursuit of such ambitions.
notTONIGHT, this one was for you brother.

First three penalties were laughable...I've seen enough hockey to know those won't be called at state tournament games. They see right through the flops. The most obvious trip of the night of course wasn't called. Linesman were out of position all night. The one ref that called everything showed his true incompetence by not reporting the 3rd penalty...until he blew his whistle 5 second after the next face off. Then realized it, whoops! I'm guessing he won't be at the X.
That being said, SE deserved to win, they played a smarter game, capitalized on their chances and exposed Luverne's weaknesses, which would have been magnified x10 next week.

I'll repeat, when you use your upper body to pull the upper front of the opposition backwards, and you use your lower body to push the lower back of the opposition forward, it is a
"slewfoot
In hockey, when using your leg to take someone off balance from behind by sweeping the back of their knee, often resulting in injury.
That ogre Malkin wasn't called for slewfooting. AGAIN. "
It is not laughable for a referee to call that, it is his obligation should he so choose to do his job based on enforcing the rules.
