aaahhhh......?????? does Marshall even have enough skaters to make one good line? :oops: Who is going to even be left on the team? From what I have seen of their Bantams and select 15 tryouts, then have absolutely nothing coming up. The Marshall kids wouldn't even make the third line of the Luverne ...

Congratulations to the seven Luverne kids that were selected all conference.
Maxwell, Meyer, Wenniger, Norman, Olson, Solma, and Smedsrud. Four of them will be back next year to earn the conference title.

Must have been the poor coaching :roll:

The great 8 is very political. Many quality players from 3a or other areas quite commonly do not make that team that should. Austin Maxwell would have been a very nice choice, as would winneger. We all know from experience that it is not the best selection process. When is the last time Marshall had...

3a must be getting dementia. I actually used to enjoy his posts, but he is drinking some funny water in Marshall. Marshall program is over and done. All they have left is a goalie and one good forward. Pathetic coaching. How does a team allow 60+ shots on them in the state tournament? and you all th...

Congrats to Marshall goalie on his hockey tournament saves record. Bettman must be proud. Looks like Marshall couldn't break it out of the zone once again. :roll: Must be the great coaching they have up there. ](*,) Campion makes section 3a look respectable, and nice that Marshall scored a couple go...

Not sure where 3a gets his information or if he is just creating an issue that doesn't exist. Brown and other coaches work with the youth all summer long building skills, working on skating and doing drills. The community has gone crazy for hockey and attendance at summer ice is phenomenal. The only...

3a - Players still play the game. That is the only reason Marshall won. Can't give any credit to the head coach, although the new assistant was probably a benefit for Marshall after losing the former head coach. I am assuming the senior Marshall players were still influenced by Pearson and his syste...

Way to go Marshall Tigers. Finally a SW Conference team makes it to state.
Good Luck to the Marshall Boys!!! Better keep that Weiss kid on the bench!


(3a and the other Marshall head have no class - but we will cheer for your players anyway)

wow 3a I thought you would have learned something from your last offensive post, but it appears you are back on ripping the Luverne coaches. The Luverne coaches are doing the very best they can. They work hard, treat the kids with respect and are trying to build a strong solid program. The community...

and I was discussed with the Luverne fans on here??? :roll: Last I checked, it was the players that played the game. Luverne was the better team on the ice. Better athletes. Better coaching. The difference in the game was the hot goalie from Marshall. period. The only thing you got right is that the...

As a Luverne fan it is quite humiliating to read some of the posts of our fans. I appreciate your passion, but you do make us Cardinals look very bad. With that said, frankly I believe Luverne does have an all around better team than Marshall. We have two strong solid lines, and a good third line an...

Would like to hear why you have windom below hutch? Windom beat Marshall. Windom is a 5 seed at the worst IMO. (Just a prediction) I guess it could go either way. Not trying to dwell on it, but am curious to hear any logic as to how Hutch does get seeded above Windom? Windom beat Marshall. Hutch do...

6 Windom - stop Travis, and you win...played Marshall close the second time. still a fan of the head coach 5 Hutch - good - could be dangerous, but just not what they have been in the past. I think they would beat Marshall or Litch in the section tournament, but have to give them the 5 because of th...

slow down. Luverne has not been a power house in the SWC ever. While the team is doing very well, and tied for the conference title (with a weaker than ever Marshall team) they haven't yet developed the reputation of a great section team. The program is getting stronger, and while we support the coa...

Marshall 5 MBA 4 Luverne 13 Worthington 1 Looks like Marshall and Luverne will share the conference title (after Luverne beats Windom that is) Marshall was able to get the win even with a couple players now out for the season, and Morris did out shoot them by quite a bit. Hope they enjoy the confere...

Thanks for your predictions. However, I do have a question. Why do people knock the coaching in Luverne? I have seen that comment several times. Their record has continually gotten better in the last five years. Just curious. Bettman, how do you consider a win against Windom "good." Were ...

There is a part of me that agrees with bettman about how foolish we have to get with the seedings conversation. However, this is what setterhole has forced us to do. It needs to be pointed out, Luverne beat St. Paul Johnson, and Johnson beat Minnehaha, who beat New Ulm. Your right bettman, that sen...

Hearing that Marshall lost two players to broken bones? Did the defenseman really break his collar bone on the broken glass incident? Can anyone confirm the injuries? If so, count out Marshall. Already having a tough transition with the new coach, and now injured players. :?:

I had zero saves on zero shots. :lol: Marshall outshot MoBe 32-21. Marshall played their best game of the season (of the ones I have seen). They came out ...

puttin it out there; i may be wrong, but here goes. 1 New Ulm - easily beatable. worst they have been in years. good first line, and drops off from there but because the section is weak, I give them the number 1 2 Luverne good athletes but not good coaching. many kids playing summer hockey with qual...

Princeton is 12 according to the hub How did Marshall only beat Worthington by 3? New coach wreaking havoc? seems like they returned a lot of kids that should score???
