That was inspiring and very, very well said. Thank you karl for all you add to MN High School hockey. We all love this game but you sum up the emotions well.

All three days baby!
Can't fathom watching the Gophers blow the weekend.

Appreciate all your work this winter karl. Always looked forward to your rankings and admire all the thought and analysis that went into it. You have a very loyal following. End of the season should be very fun this year.

Rau will get Mr. Hockey (Gopher recruit) but Cameransi is a very close second IMO (maybe UMD counts since its a U of M school?). Like Daly too but rare for it to go to a defenseman although he's possibly the best in the state.

Much as I hate to say it - I think EP should be #1. Agree Sections right on.
Thanks Karl - look forward every week for your rankings. Appreciate all the thought that goes into it.

Besse and Daly rock BSM - take them 4-2 over AHA

HM gets #1 right now but IMO they're soft - I think out of the cluster at the top I have to go with Wayzata. EP and Edina close seconds and Tonka is looking impressively strong lately. Not impressed with BSM. Duluth East could be the one to win it all in St. Paul though. The next month and a half sh...

bb's scouting report: Forwards - advantage to AHA Defense - advantage to Hill Goaltending - large advantage to Hill Power Play - large advantage to Hill Penalty Kill - large advantage to Hill Bench depth - advantage Hill Home-ice - advantage AHA Final Score: Hill - 6 AHA - 2 Great points blue but I...

IMO they deserve one another. Should be fun watching them battle it out for years in court.

Funny stuff!!! Gotta love this thread and O-town the Clown is a wise man - you guys should be honored he takes the time to impart some wisdom on you MNMade Clowns.

I had always been a strong supporter of the Fire as an alternative for good players from associations either without A teams or with really weak programs. This was before it gotten taken over by the Orange Monster though. Fire can't go to Nationals - end of story - no state championship to play for....

EP wins this one but HM will give them a good game. EP has the stronger offense and goalie while HM dominates on defense with exception of EP's Molenaar. Should be fun to watch.

That's what they said about Tonka last year (myself included) and Edina the year before that...everyone has a shot at State at this point in the season. Teams with less "star" talent have a better shot because they play better as a team when it counts.

St. Louis Park tournament would be my choice. Good teams, consecutive days, so much cheaper. I've been to it the last couple years and it sure beats driving down to St. Paul.

Third times a charm! BSM play EP physical and you can win this one. I'll take BSM over EP 3-2. Better watch out for Gerdes - very impressive goals in the last two games.

Cadets look strong. Cadets 4-2 over Tonka.

Agree with vapor. If players have chemistry, they should play on the same line because that's when magic happens. They trust their line mates and so many of these kids have played together since they were young. Splitting them up often just makes two lines weaker. Coaches that try to run 4 lines at ...

How many kids showed up? Were there a lot of non blades kids there? I wonder if other regions have a machine/blades like rivalry that goes on and prevents the best kids from representing the region? Blades hold an open tryout and HD41 still does not post that BM is the one who won't let his players...

Good one Master Recruiter! Have to go with Benilde. I think the Burnsville game showed Hill's weaknesses. They were overrated last year and I think it will be even more obvious this year. Their "stars" are not as good as they think although I wouldn't underestimate Hill's defense.

And you would know this how? It is amazing the ignorance of posters on this board who claim to know about these things and their kids are still 6 years old. Don't listen to them hockey parents. The Brick is an unbelievable hockey experience and one these kids never forget. If your kid doesn't make ...

Relax folks. This is just another tournament for 9-10 year olds. Why this tournament is supposed to be better than any other out there is a mystery. At the end of the day you still have a bunch of 9-10 year olds out there trying to take it coast to coast far more often than they pass. Kudos to the ...

I don't know - Flintstone is a big EP hockey guy - if he says Rau's going, I highly doubt it's not true, although I know we all wish it weren't. His game is ready for the next level for sure, but it would've been great to get to watch him play one more year at the State Tournament. Either way - goo...
