The STA vs Rockridge result should be treated as a scrimmage. It tells us little to nothing of consequence. The HM vs Stillwater game was more entertaining than I had hoped. Of course when Stillwater scored early on the PP they acted like it was a state tournament game because, hey, we scored on Hi...

These boys have been playing against each other since they were 7 years old. I’m sure any animosity between them has been well earned. I remember seeing a Wayzata - Edina game in the late 80's. It was Wayzata's first team that could give the Hornets a go, so I trekked from the Saintly City to what ...

Yep, I've been saying this about Edina for a couple of years. They weren't always known for this, either. They've had plenty of hard hitting teams with physical play, but still clean hockey.

I'm not surprised at Wayzata either. They looked very sharp against Hill last week.

FYI- Eastview vs Rosemount was 4-2 loss this week w/ an empty net, a split w Farmington- some teams do grow stronger as season progresses, especially if changes r made -Note certain teams are comprised w many 2 sport athletes who r not solely focused on hockey, they improve w time- EV is certainly ...

Yeah, that's right, right up to the line, the first few times. When it's after nearly every whistle, it's beyond the line. I don't know why opposing coaches don't tell their players to push right back, and to refs at the per-game meet, "Let's watch the after the whistle crap, now." And the...

The Wayzata Hill game was better than I thought it would be. Wayzata looked really good, it was a fast pace, good passing and an aggressive fore check. It reminded me of Hill Edina games from a while back, before Giles started having them pull a lot of after the whistle crap. Wayazta was down by 2 a...

I'm disappointed no one has replied to this with some insight.

Yeah, it's one of those times I chuckle and wonder, "Now what's Karl going to do with this one!"

th The comment "the trick is winning your section, and then peaking at state," raises a question for me. It's also a question I've been pondering for quite a while - do you think any of the top teams care about winning their conferences? Using everyone's favorite conference, the Metro Eas...

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...

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 ...

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 ...

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...

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...

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...

Hill-Murray full of grace, what are we doing in second place???

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...

Apparently Hill was sponsored by the United States Postal Service today because they mailed it in. Ish.

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...

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...

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...

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...
