Re: AA Rankings for 12/28/25
I'm pretty good with Hill at #7 Regardless of circumstance, you can't lose to an unranked Holy Family team and expect not to get dinged. This week will tell us a lot about the top teams. Moorhead, STA, Stillwater, Edina, Shakopee & Rogers all have tough games, mostly because of the Tradition Ho...

Re: AA Rankings for 12/28/25
I keep struggling to get it through my brain that Buffalo is in 6AA now. Updated both the 6AA and 8AA write-ups accordingly. The Hill-Edina series summed up the difficulty of ranking teams beyond the top 2. I watched the Saturday night game and agree there just isn't much separation in talent, but ...

Re: AA Rankings for 12/28/25
Having watched the back end of the Hill-Edina home-in-home series, I feel these two teams are closer together than apart. Yeah, Hill’s loss to Holy Family is a head scratcher and their drop was understandable but Hill was right there Saturday night. A couple fluky Edina goals that don’t happen and ...

Re: AA Rankings for 12/28/25
Maybe at some point, Jefferson will land in the Top 25-- always good to see a used-to-be back in the rankings. Would like to see more than a mention of Jefferson. They are having a nice season. Hopefully a win or 2 more will push them to well deserved credit. I realize they aren’t playing the big b...

Re: AA Rankings for 12/21/25
It's been a long road for FLake. My memory is a bit foggy, but in 1975 they were the first team Hill played in their first season in the MSHSL, in what was then Region 3. I recall that as we were leaving the 16-1 pounding the Rangers took that my Old Man said, "We're not going to the first roun...

Re: AA Rankings for 12/21/25
Good to get a report on the Holy Family. I'd chosen to work my side hustle instead. I had told my wife that I would hold off on committing to attending the back half of the home-and-home, pending the results on Friday. Do you think if drive and pick up the drink tab that SEC Scotty would pick-up din...

Re: AA Rankings for 12/14/25
After that disaster at Gene Aldrich Arena yesterday, I'd say Hill is putting pressure on Hill more so than Stillwater is. I had to apologize to my grandson for taking him to see that game. After both intermissions STA was ready to get on the ice well before the appointed time. And why not? They were...

Re: Games 12/9
7 of the top 10 Class A teams are from outside the metro. Can we do the opposite of what you suggest for Class A? One combined metro section and 7 outstate sections? 8) Speaking about the 'top ten class A teams' is pretty weak tea. I say that because it's been discussed frequently how the class A t...

Re: Games 12/9
We would have had a different champion in AA many times in the last 30 years if we had 1 class. No doubt about it. Warroad and Hermantown would have depleted a few AA trophy cases alone. So your point is………..? 7AA is now as weak as 1AA without Andover and the other metro teams the MSHSL has shipped...

Re: Games 12/9
Also, 7A is far superior to 7AA this year. Can they flip come playoffs so we have a good team out of northeast MN playing in the 7AA state tourney this year? Rapids is 14-3 on Thursday night in St. Paul. 10-4 on Friday night. 4-6 on Saturday night. I’m all ears. Some of those games were on Thursday...

Re: AA Rankings for 12/7/25
How do you put WBL lower than Rogers when WBL beat Rogers? What is this, the College Football Playoff? You lose points automatically if your conference has never won a championship. So let's see, how many state titles does the SEC have? Any one? Any one? Bueller? Cretin-Derham Hall won state in 200...

Re: Games 12/6
Hill 1 Rogers 0 Final. I really can't put my finger on this Hill team through 4 games. The concerning: there's been a bit of a power outage on offense the last 3 games.

Re: AA Rankings for 11/30/25
It has been a pretty fast start to the season. No one is easing into the season by warming up against 2 or 3 bottom dwellers. White Bear is definitely the big surprise on the up side. I need more than one good win from Stillwater to speak similarly of them. One of the nice features of this weekly p...

Re: Games 11/25
Come late February, Hill couldn't look past White Bear if they were 10-12-2. It's the only game they really care about all season, it's their Super Bowl, World Serious, and Stanley Cup Final all rolled into one. For Hill, the game is a means to an end. For WB it's what drives their season. Maybe tha...

Re: Games 11/25
The White Bear 3-1 win over Rogers escaped me. Coupled with the tie with Tonka, that's a nice start for the Bears. 3-0 until Baumgartner scored late in the 3rd.

Re: Games 11/25
Oof. Giving up 3 in the 3rd to EP is not a good look. When it's 6-1 early in the 3rd, get it to RT and lock it down.
Giving up 3 goals in one period was deadly last season.

White Bear-Minnetonka game last night very entertaining last night. 2-2 OT tie. Very physical game with lots of clean hitting and goal mouth dust ups after the whistle.

Re: Class AA Preseason Rankings
Yeah I would agree, how Edina plays the two or three weeks is not very representative of how they will be this season. The Rogers score is much more significant, even given how early we are in the season. Edina players don't assume they will win the section, they know they're capable of it. Rogers p...
