Is there any chance John Harrington from SJU might take a look at it? I know he's come close at both UMD and Alaska when there were openings there... Just curious. <p></p><i></i>

One thing that comes up is that when a kid goes to a private school, it hurts the public school. Someone above mentioned that it hurt the school financially. Now, I'll admit that they lose the headcount when it comes to getting state money, but the parent of that child still pays the taxes that help...

If there was no open enrollment available, then I would tend to agree that the private schools are an issue, but I know of more movement within public schools for reasons of sports than private schools. Many of the kids going to private schools would go there anyway. Even in the little areas in cent...

So, what was said above, there were already 9 picked for the 16 level?? Too bad that wasn't published before the tryouts began.... "We're looking for 6 skaters to fill the team, come one come all...." Wow!! <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START ;) --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/image...

Wow, already wanting to start into the muck?? I think that until the dust settles and all the players commit back to their schools, it's a toss-up at best. Ask back in about mid-September and I bet you'll get a thread marching right along..<br><br>Have a good summer!!<br><br><!--EZCODE EMOTICON STAR...

Duluth Marshall folks, BE PROUD of your players and fans. I saw some pretty classy acts out there. I talked to a coach who said that the show of respect by the players and fans was very impressive... <br><br>I suppose this'll close the "Who's gonna win 2A" thread for the season. See you al...

I assume the Duluth team and fans are on the road, or just getting on the road... I wonder who's the most nervous, SCC or DM??<br><br>OK, I still call this a close one.... our next round of postings will probably be after the game tonight... This couldn't be any more fun!!<br><br>SCC 4<br>DM 2<br><b...

I apologize for the misleading post about the DM travel record. Where I was heading was their record against top teams when they have to travel more than an hour.. (Lourdes, SSM, I'Falls, etc...) I "believe" that the record is something like 2-5 in that case, but I could be wrong.. Travel ...

You know, there is no reward for the fan who can talk the biggest game here.. (ask Mora) It's going to come down to who, as a team, wants it more.... The fans will help, but it's still going to be played on the ice with 40 kids, 8 coaches and two refs.... <br>Their season record - doesn't matter... ...

If my research is accurate... (read: third party...<!--EZCODE EMOTICON START ;) --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/images/emoticons/wink.gif ALT=";)"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> ) then DM is really 1 - 6 when traveling any distance against quality teams.. I'Falls is the 1?? I ...

I have to say this once, and will never comment on this again.. Mora should be ashamed of their players. That was a sad thing to watch. The real sad thing is that it's not all of the players, but their reputations will stick with them for years.. What a way to end a career in hockey boys... Why does...

I agree that both games will be good ones... DM and SR, I think that SR has the ability to win, but DM is very tough. I think DM by at least two goals.. they've just done better against top competition all year, where SR has struggled against good teams.. but SR is playing well now..<br><br>SCC over...

I still think the Princeton / Sauk Rapids game could be the best game of this round. Princeton should be the better team, no doubt. However, SR did beat Princeton once this season. IF Ptown plays like they can, then it won't be that close.. <br><br>The top four SHOULD move on to Cloquet for Saturday...

Next round... Predictions??<br><br>Pine City at DM - DM<br><br>Sauk Rapids at Princeton - Close game, I pick SR, but could go either way.<br><br>Duluth Central at SCC - SCC<br><br>Duluth Denfield at Mora - Denfield in an upset...<br><br><br>So, c'mon folks, let's hear your thoughts...<br><br><!--EZC...

OK, who's the favorites for tomorrow night?<br><br>Pine City v. Sartell I take Sartell<br><br>Proctor v. Duluth Central I take Central<br><br>Duluth Denfield v. Moose Lake I take Denfield<br><br><br>Let's go one night at a time...<br><br><!--EZCODE EMOTICON START ;) --><img src=http://www.ezboard.co...

DB33 and MK, well said in support of your programs.. Very well stated.. I am in agreement that this is a pretty tough section despite what folks outside of it think. SCC went up and spanked Virginia 7-1 and beat Eveleth 5-3.. Section 2A is a tough group of teams.<br><br>My prediction for an upset is...

How could this thread get so far down the list?? My guess is Princeton folks aren't so confident, so they're not writing as much as usual... c'mon folks... let's hear about this section.<br><br>Everyone should be done with the season now... what are the final predictions before the playoffs begin?? ...

LU4.. I like your predictions... AND I agree that the top five are all capable, depending on who shows up to play each night...<br><br><!--EZCODE EMOTICON START ;) --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/images/emoticons/wink.gif ALT=";)"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <p></p><i></i>

The distance factor is pretty big in this section. St. Cloud is approximately 2 1/2 hours from Duluth, if the weather's good. It's part of the game, I guess.. <br><br>I LOVE this time of the season!!!!!<br><br>My predictions are above, BTW... I still stand by them..<br><br><!--EZCODE EMOTICON START ...

Yeah, the way DM's played on the road, I would guess they'll want as many games at home as they can get. The final being in St. Cloud (assuming, of course) could be an issue for them. <br><br>Mora's weak regular schedule going to hurt them?? I don't know that they've played that many tough teams, ot...

SCC 7 - Pine City 0<br><br>Lots of penalties... PC's goalie played an awsome game, facing something like 50 shots.. SCC goalie was a brick wall, but only faced about 20 shots.<br><br>SCC's fourth line + a few played a lot of the second and most of the third periods.. mostly third and fourth lines on...

Well, the rankings I put above came from PageStats2, who ranks the teams based on many factors. Are they that strong? Not sure, but they are always a dark horse. I think that below the top three or four teams, it's really a turkey-shoot...<br><br><!--EZCODE EMOTICON START ;) --><img src=http://www.e...

I just took a second while on break, and PageStat2 has the rankings through 2/13...

I don't disagree with SR being a possible "sleeper" team. I think that as far a possible teams in the final game, I'd say that it could be DM, SCC, Ptown, and SR. I really don't know that anyone else can get through the early rounds to get to the final four, and then the final two. I'd lov...
