Tonka takes on their coaches former team in key Section 6 matchup next Saturday night at the Pagel Center.

Post your thoughts/predictions....

The Trucks are playing some good hockey...

Tonka Trucks 6
Benilde-Football State Margaret's 3

Tonka has better D and better goalie. They will be the difference in that one. Tonka 4 Benilde 3

Tonka has better D and better goalie. They will be the difference in that one.

That's debatable.

Benilde is very strong on the blue line this season and Bonomo(sp?) isnt exactly going to win games by himself in net for Tonka this year. Id say the goaltending is pretty equal, if not it would lean towards the red knights.

Tonka speed too much for BSM

Tonka 4-1

murraychadwick, i agree with every word you just said!

BSM was supossed to be amazing this year but they havent shown me anything yet!

I see that Zierke has missed afew games for BSM...will he back for this game?

neversaynever, i have some friends at BSM and they said zeirke is kicked off the team! i guess his attitude was too much of a problem

Both i think are great teams and this is obviously a great preview of what we can expect when section tourney time comes around but if i have too pick a team i'd go with Tonka, Im gonna say somewhere around:
Tonka 5
Benilde 3

tonka has anthony raiola and jack paul....they will prevail 5-0

3-2 BSM

They're scary good at moving the puck. Buonomo is going to be moving side to side the whole night.

I have heard the same. Too bad, talented player. Hope he gets his act together.

Did I read 9-2 BSM?

so much for Tonka's de & goaltending

What a eye opener

BSM was impressive last night.

The Carew, Estoclet and Applehof line was unstoppable.

Tonka has their work cut out for a top 2 seed in Section 6 with 2 games against the Hornets and 1 against the Eagles.

Current Section 6 rankings:

1) Edina
2) BSM
3) Tonka
4) EP
5) Chaska
6) Jefferson
7) Hopkins
Prior Lake

There was alot of chirping going on with both teams. Does anyone have an idea why? Are there alot of Minnetonka kids on BSM?

I heard the coaches almost got in a fight after the second period because Ken Pauly of Tonka felt BSM was purposely running the score up on them

There is a good answer for that. It's called defense.

9-2 isn't even running up the score.

9-2 isn't even running up the score.

I wonder whyTonka's coach was so mad at Benilde's then

Curious, I thought the point of hockey was the score more goals than the other team. If you win by 7, how can you be accused of running up the score?

Sure if Holy Angels won against a conference opponent by 25, which they may be able to, that wouldn't be good. Two tops in AA (#9 and #17 on last week's PS2) playing and one of them winning by 7, that's not running up the score at all.

The other day an NHL team beat another something like 10-4. The coach of the losing team probably wasn't trying to start a fight, they were probably embarrassed and now need to work on some stuff. That's how it works.

Yeah, I guess the Benilde player that told me this must have been lying, that is ridiculous

It was good to see the Red Knights come out and put the puck in the net last night. When they get on a roll there are very few teams that they can't beat.

I was at the game last night. The conflict between the coaches took place after the first period. As the score was 3-2 I highly doubt that Pauly was ticked about the score being run up. Sounds like b.s. to me.
