actually ely squeezed out a win against eveleth and the 2nd time falls and eveleth played it was 3-3 with about 3 mins left in the 2nd. then falls woke up and popped in 7 moreelliott70 wrote:Ely only lost to Eveleth 2 to 1.
And Eveleth played the Falls tough, twice, only givning up 10 goals, in each game.
Ely is much improved over the past couple of seasons, no doubt. But their 2-1-1 record is agains the bottom tier of teams. 2-1 win over Eveleth, in a game Eveleth dominated play-wise. 6-4 win over Silver Bay, followed by a 3-3 tie with the Mariners. Then there is a 7-4 loss to Two Harbors. If you look at the top teams against the likes of Eveleth the results show a clear distinction of separation. I Falls and Virginia both put running time on Eveleth in the past couple weeks. Eveleth is the only one in the bunch that has played some of the teams regarded as the better ones so far.CS5300 wrote:Thats section games only record so far, I falls looks good but I would'nt count Ely out they might pull an upset on somone.
agreed. but what grade is alex guyer in?? some say he is a senior and some say a junior..PuckRanger wrote:Its the Bronco`s for the taking at this point. They don't play Marshall, so we probably won't ever see that matchup unless it happens in the section finals. Duluth Marshall is a close second.
Virginia and Hibbing will also be there in the end. I haven't seen much of Greenway, but from the scores they've posted so far, it doesn't look like they are going to be much of a factor, other than maybe raining on someone's parade in the regular season.
I would seed it this way at this point - the Virginia/Hibbing matchup next Saturday could change things and the bottom four could easily be jostled around.

You know, it never would have occurred to me to place the Falls ahead of Marshall. Until I compared their record against common opponents, that is, and saw both teams were 3-0, with a slight edge in goal differential to Falls. Very interesting.PuckRanger wrote:Its the Bronco`s for the taking at this point. They don't play Marshall, so we probably won't ever see that matchup unless it happens in the section finals.

Assuming I Falls and Marshall go undefeated in 7A and common opponents and goal difference is a major factor in the #1 seed; then most of the common opposition/goal dif. will have to be divided by 2 for a average, as I Falls found room to play these teams twice in their schedule. Very interesting indeed.east hockey wrote:You know, it never would have occurred to me to place the Falls ahead of Marshall.

Marshall only has one section game left and that is against Virginia in Virginia on Feb. 5th. These two teams haven't played for years and there is some animosity between the two coaches. If there is a chance for an upset, it would probably be here. Virginia also plays up in the Falls, where historically they've struggled, so an upset would seem unlikely. Hibbing hosts I Falls on Jan. 31, thats probably the only other realistic shot at one of the top two losing, although I Falls still has 7 games against section opponents left on their schedule.7A22A wrote:Assuming I Falls and Marshall go undefeated in 7A and common opponents and goal difference is a major factor in the #1 seed; then most of the common opposition/goal dif. will have to be divided by 2 for a average, as I Falls found room to play these teams twice in their schedule.

So, is East right about common teams and goal diff.? or does overall record, strength of schedule, etc... come into play. I assume all of it does. Also, when you talk about the two teams and animosity. Do you mean DM and Virginia or DM and I Falls? If its a popularity contest; DM seems to have the deck stacked against them as Eveleth has had some hard feelings for DM in the past. All this leads me to believe they should have left the sections alone. The geographical excuse is bs.PuckRanger wrote:Marshall only has one section game left and that is against Virginia in Virginia on Feb. 5th.

If you play for DM or are in any way part of the team, I think you'd better do some more scouting on the Falls and less on your own team. The Falls is deeper than you think.rinkratman wrote:lets do a little comparing. first I falls has a weaker schedual then DM. that is why their record is what it is for the falls. if DM had that schedual they would be undefeated. they wouldnt lose to fort francis. another thing to look at is who is on each team. first the falls has jake yuso. thats it. now for DM, they have 2 of the top 3 D in the state landon olson and dano jaques. they have dave hafferty,pat mahony, zach mausolf, and a few others that are right up there with them. also goal tending. willie paul was an alternate for the national team and shows that he is the better goalie for DM. this team has what it takes to go to the show again for the 4th year in a row. i falls is out and DM is in.
I don't see the depth on Hibbing at all, I would say Virginia is much deeper. Hibbing only gets scoring from one line and one defenseman. Virginia gets it throughout their lineup. Neither are on par with International Falls or Marshall in my opinion.snapdog wrote:I believe it will come down to 3 teams sorry Virginia. Marshall, I Falls, and Hibbing. You have to look at depth and these 3 teams all have it by what I saw in person.
