Shots were 52-21 for East. Cambridge had four power plays, East had one.Marty2013 wrote:this one really surprised me. any one know what the shots were? is East down this year? is Cambridge stong this year. I do not get the opportunity to see these two teams so not real familiar with year to year talent.
Yeah, we all know that it's all my evil plot here.Nuts&Bolts wrote:East may have started a bit slow but they'll be there in the end. There players and team always get better throughout the year when many teams peak around Christmas. Also shows Karl and Randolph are on the same page sandbagging and slow playing all the competition. This only gives Karl justification for keeping East out of the top 10-12 teams in the state where they belong.
Karl, who do you like in this one? On paper, the higher-rated Trojans would seem to be favored, but I didn't they didn't look that great against Edina...but that may have been more a function of how well the Hornets played in that one game (but on the other hand they did come back to completely dominate Centennial). I know, lots of "buts" here, lol.karl(east) wrote:The Wayzata game this weekend should shed more light on East-related questions.
I heard from a source at the game that Howg played the whole game, and that Hedin didn't get any playing time. I think the Hub messed up on that one. Howg is starting in net Saturday against Wayzata from my understanding.karl(east) wrote:Yeah, we all know that it's all my evil plot here.Nuts&Bolts wrote:East may have started a bit slow but they'll be there in the end.

That said, if I were to go back and look at East records by month over the years, I suspect they'd bear out the notion that East gets better as the year goes on. It hasn't been true every year, but Randolph does consciously try to get his teams to peak at the right time.
No reason to panic over one gave in November, though it also isn't any reason to plug them into the top 10-12 at this point in time. They may get there, but they'll have to earn it like any other team, and beating Cambridge by one doesn't do that.
As for the goalie question, Howg and Hedin split the game and each let in one, so no answers yet. The Wayzata game this weekend should shed more light on East-related questions.
In the meantime, the Hounds have to go earn their turkey.
For now, I'd say the Wayzata-Edina game was more of a reflection on Edina than Wayzata, though if they lose to East (or Hermantown), I might change my opinion. The Trojans didn't look great in their Turkey Trot games, but they still play sound D, and they have some talented forwards who should get going eventually. They didn't respond particularly well once Edina jumped out to the early lead, but since late last season, very few teams have done that against the Hornets.MNHockeyFan wrote:Karl, who do you like in this one?

In any case, the Hounds vs. the Trojans should be a very interesting match-up. If I had to guess, I'll go with Wayzata, 4-2.
Why do you say that?slyer wrote:maybe in a few years sibell will be playing for east
Because he thinks East recruits. Which is interesting coming from an Elk River fan.Nevertoomuchhockey wrote:Why do you say that?slyer wrote:maybe in a few years sibell will be playing for east
No relatives at all. Him and his family moved all the way across the country for him to play on the team. Not to start talking about players and their families but that's just kind of a risky move..sticksave wrote:Now that's funny![]()

Too bad for him though. Geez you'd think there would be lots of hockey between there and here. Did he have a relative in the area?
