Maybe we would know if I Falls played any descent teams.

What is that link for the Minnhock SOS?? I've seen it but can't remember where it is.

That may have some bearing on it for PS2, as well as the common opponent win/loss (BSM) and the SOS of that opponent. Just a thought.
As the FAQ says "1 game does not a season make"

Lee...care to chime in ??

ive never heard of a "descent" team...so im not sure if that would help determine if I Falls is good or not.

Descent; you know, as opposed to an "ascent" team.

STA is in descent; as opposed to the ascent of Duluth TopoftheHill.

But both teams are decent.

I was worried that I Falls may be able to repeat what Hermantown did last year. Then I watched the Fort Frances team that beat them 4-0. Not so worried now.

You ever played a game in The Fort?

The Muskies are not to be taken lightly, they are 28-6 at this point of their season. They lost to Madison Edgewood by the same score that Duluth Marshall did in the Hilltopper Classic holiday tournament and they have blown out many Minnesota opponents this year and competes very closely with Shattuck-St. Mary's. This is a pretty good hockey team, folks.

He obviously doesn't understand how the whole American-Canadian Exhange rate works. Every cheapshot the Falls takes, the Fort gets to retaliate with two .......forgot that the exhange rate is bad until just now. There is something "different" about playing over there though. Very tough building to play in against a very good team.

It would be funny if that were remotely close to true. The US-Canadian exchange rate is, and has been for quite some time now, 1:1.

Good call, go back under your rock now.
