Ditto. LN is a great team, and play a good team game, but I don't think they have enough power to go through 3 real tests. There is no arguing that what they did this season was impressive, so however it ends up they should be proud!Cootslayer wrote:EP??
I've got Roseau beating them.
3 real tests?! Hilarious. They beat DE, shutout EP and HM, beat Burnsville and Eagan twice, EV, etc. how much more could they have been tested?!hshockeyfan8 wrote:Ditto.

Their lack of respect is two fold...One, their schedule is pretty weak, not to mention playing Dodge County, Owatonna and Farmington pre-state isn't exactly what prepares you for the big run. They do have a few big wins, but one would argue the strength of those teams then, EP slid after their beating, but has recovered. HM played their weaker goalie and most likely took them lightly #stillwater. The Duluth East win...meh...how good is East, we will see! They didn't play some of the teams that will push them (generally physical types). If the first line is broken or frustrated...they are mediocre #commitmentgoestoheadhshockeyfan8 wrote:Ditto.

Why is Lakeville North getting no respect?ZAP wrote:I see most picking Eden Prairie over them in the semis even though LN crushed them 7-0 this year already? What has changed since then? I'm not real familiar with either team but am a bit befuddled by all the EP love over LN.
Until they do something at State, the perception remains.North played 5 games in a row comparable to the state tourneyhshockeyfan8 wrote:Not once did LN play 3 games in a row that will be as tough as the three at state. They beat DE in overtime, killed EP well in a slump, HM played their backup goalie, close game with Eagan. Like I said, no doubt what they did in the regular season was impressive and good for them. I just don't think they have to power to get through 3 tough games in a row. I have nothing against them, just my opinion! I hope that they prove to me, and many others, that section 1AA isn't a joke.
Not sure Eagan and Jefferson would be considered incredibly tough teams. And...if Stillwater and North play for the championship, I think we can assume hell froze over. No disrespect, but...wbmd wrote:Lakeville North is getting plenty of respect from me. I have them and Stillwater picked to meet in the championship game Saturday night. It will be nice to finally have a brand new team winning it all.
Well considering they have technically only been a school since 2006, this being their 5th trip despite being in section 1AA is still not bad.east hockey wrote:Why is Lakeville North getting no respect?ZAP wrote:I see most picking Eden Prairie over them in the semis even though LN crushed them 7-0 this year already?

History. Four trips to state, no quarterfinal wins, 2-7 in tourney history.
You want them to get respect? Win a game at state.
They had an outstanding regular season. So did Luverne.

Eagan is very tough. Ask STA. Promise they will agree.SidneysDogHouse wrote:Not sure Eagan and Jefferson would be considered incredibly tough teams.

And Sidney- why such hard feelings towards LN and their coach? Just curious....how is what LN done ANY different than DE, Hermantown, EGF or any of the privates for that matter?
Yep. And I asked you a question based off of what you said about LN and their coach and "lack of integrity"....SidneysDogHouse wrote:Sats81 wrote:Eagan is very tough. Ask STA.

I believe the thread is about LVN...
"But we all know karma and reality eventually set in." I think you mean karma OR reality because one is not the other. One is made up hokum and the other is reality. Also "eventually" doesn't necessarily mean this year.SidneysDogHouse wrote:Their lack of respect is two fold...One, their schedule is pretty weak, not to mention playing Dodge County, Owatonna and Farmington pre-state isn't exactly what prepares you for the big run.

Second...I think we all know the favors played and integrity lost in that program, many people in Lakeville don't even like them for all that has been done. This all starts with the coach, but he has assembled a surprise at the least, but we all know karma and reality eventually set in. Dynasties don't happen overnight, this is no dynasty, a good team yes, but far from a perennial powerhouse. The years of parental involvement for certain kids was for this...after this year (maybe next) it will be over.
I meant win a game in the championship bracket. Even White Bear Lake has consolation titles.Sats81 wrote:Well considering they have technically only been a school since 2006, this being their 5th trip despite being in section 1AA is still not bad.east hockey wrote:Why is Lakeville North getting no respect?ZAP wrote:I see most picking Eden Prairie over them in the semis even though LN crushed them 7-0 this year already?

Not to be overly analytical either but they did win consolation in 2011 so they have won games at state, mariucci albeit.
Almost as great as your trolling! 24 hrs ago you stated you were gonna "disappear completely".....back already?? Thank goodness!bemused wrote:This is great!!
