Who can beat Roseau?

Now that Roseau is past Bloomington Jefferson and Red River, who among the remaining teams on Roseau's schedule has the greatest chance of ending their undefeated season?

I'd say Grand Rapids would be the best choice to beat the Rams.

Brainerd may be able to be the Rams but they'd have to play their best game

To be honest, I dont think any of those teams will beat Roseau, it will have to be Tourney time before Roseau faces teams that can beat them.

I think that there are four teams that match up well against Roseau's lines and style of play.

Edina and Jefferson (pending the return of Herbert) are the best bets in my opinion. Now, granted, Both are in the same section and Edina is the better team. Both teams have the style that tends to work on Northern teams and have more than one solid line of forwards that should be able to get around the wall they call 'Ness'. Defeat Ness and you defeat Roseau (I am making it sound easier than it really is! haha).

the other two are Tonka and Hill

Both teams have great depth. Tonka should be able to completely shut down Roseau's forwards, while Hill's speed should force Roseau to rotate Ness out more than usual.

All n' All I hope Roseau goes 1.0 in the regular and then shows what they may be capable of come tourney time.

If Roseau loses a game in 2008 I'd be surprised. If it does happen, it won't happen any earlier than March 6th, they are too good.

Of the teams listed, although I don't think it'll happen, I'd say Brainerd has the best chance.
-Beat Moorhead 7-2 away and remaining game is home.
-Int. Falls went into OT with LOW last night.
-Beat TRF away, remaining game home.
-Blaine is all right, not that good though.
-Grand Rapids won't beat them in Roseau.

Ewe take da Rams in a three game series vs. all of the teams that remain on the schedule.....

But one game...in hockey...most any of those teams could win one vs the Rams, there have been much bigger upsets than any of these would be.

The tough thing with Roseau as they showed yesterday vs RR, you can outplay the Ram forwards, you can exploit weaknesses in the Ram defense, but you still have to beat Mike Lee in the end...you must play very very well to do all three of those things.

While most if not all of the teams could pull an upset, the team that has the best chance to beat Roseau is...Roseau.

Probably a pretty irrelevant point here. I Falls outshot LOW 57-23. A hot goaltender can take any team a long ways.

The only team to have a shot at beating Roseau will be a metro team come March.

Nice call Neut. Anything can happen outside. Looks like a lot of wasted votes were made looking at the results. One team that already has six votes will see running time. Hot goalie in LOW or not.

If the wind is blowing, I wouldn't even dress them. Maybe leave 'em in the warming shack.

If you are talking about the building on the bank of the river I heard it's sold out.

Moorhead might be the team to end Roseau's unbeaten season next Tuesday at Memorial Arena. They have the speed to stay with Roseau's forwards and their defense is tightening up. A change of goaltenders from the first meeting can be expected,too.

Brainerd in an upset Feb 2nd at the BACC. I'll be there to see it.

I think the only way these guys will go down is if they run into Tonka and tonka still needs to play very well.

I don't think any of the teams have a real good shot at beating Roseau, but anything can happen. I'd like to see a state tourney matchup between them and a team like Tonka or Edina. After all, Tonka did beat them in a pre-season scrimmage.

No, they all can. Whether they will or not is the real question.
