If Plante is out for Marshall they lose a ton of scoring power. IF he is out I give Redwood a fighters chance of pulling the upset tonight which in turn would give Litch a cakewalk to the final.

Saturday's weather is looking a little dicey, anyone know what the backup plan is if semis are postponed?

NU @ Hutch tonight. Hutch won first game 3-1 early in the season while outshooting NU 36-23. All the goals scored in that game were on special teams. This SHOULD be the best game of the evening in Section 3A, I got Hutch winning a low scoring tight game.

This thread is brutally slow this year. See if I can't get some predictions going. Give Goldy New Ulm and Luverne in the first game at GAC Saturday, along with Marshall and LDC in the second. New Ulm meets LDC Wednesday. LDC to state in a close one. As unlikely as that scenario may be, this section...

Section Seeds 1 Luverne 2 LDC 3 Marshall 4 Hutch 5 New Ulm 6 Redwood Valley 7 Windom 8 Willmar 9 Fairmont 10 Worthington No big surprises here. The quarterfinal between Hutch and NU should be good, two solid goalies going at it. Marshall's Plante was seen on crutches after the Luverne game, does any...

The Wright County Conference is better than a whole lot of other conferences, LDC and Hutch benefit from playing there over where Luverne plays. Luverne does a good job of trying to play a tougher schedule but geography holds them quite a bit. Redwood Valley has a top player in the state no one kno...

New Ulm tied @ Northfield Monday night. Not what I would call a statement tie by any means but it's a step in the right direction. 2 games they should win and 2 50/50 games to close out the year remaining. If they can find a way to score some goals and win out the momentum should make sections a li...

Re: Class A Rankings 2-4-18

Lots of games with two ranked teams in them last week and lots of moving this week. 5-12 is almost a toss up with how things have gone this year. Sartell with a couple big section games, Cathedral with a couple big Class A games, Breck/Minneapolis fighting for the bottom of the top 4 section seedin...

Litch at Marshall tomorrow night, winner likely locks up the two seed. Litch and Luverne played a competitive game last Saturday with Luverne hanging on for the win. Litch beat Monti Tuesday night which was considered a upset. Seeing Monti and LDC both play this year LDC is the better team IMO. Mars...

poor job of refereeing tonight. 2 loose pucks that Luverne goalie didn't have in first period and ref blows the whistle.. probably wouldn't have led to goals but you never know. However, loose puck in 3rd with 6 or so minutes left and comes right to an LDC player with an open net and ref blows whis...

Karl and Lee are East fans to the end. I think they don’t won’t Hermantown to be in the 7AA mix any way shape or form. If Hermantown town ever moved up with the big boys East would have some problems so they protect them intended and unintended on the Forum. I don’t fault them in any way. If I had ...

Re: How do you figure?

Luverne has that top line that SHOULD score enough goals to take care of business easily. I see no threat from New Ulm at all. And watching Marshall play against New Ulm I don't see how they could be a realistic threat. Not sure about Litch or Hutch. My comment was more gauged to the lack of offens...

Re: How do you figure?

This is a terribly bad section this year, I fully anticipate Luverne rolling through everyone to get to the X, but stranger things have happened I suppose. How do you figure Luverne is that much better than the rest? If you look at common opponents, Litch & Marshall are right there compared to ...

How do you figure Luverne is that much better than the rest? If you look at common opponents, Litch & Marshall are right there compared to Luverne. I would give Luverne a slight edge but that is about it. It wouldn't be crazy for either one of these teams to beat Luverne let alone Hutch. Looks ...

Litchfield vs Hutchinson part two. Litch won the first go around in a close game, anyone have any insight into this rivalry? Litch still has Marshall and Luverne on their schedule so a win tomorrow would keep them in the running for a #1 seed. Litch beat Hutch 5-3 last night to complete the season ...

Top 6 teams in order 1 Luverne 2 Marshall 3 Hutchinson 4 Litchfield 5 New Ulm 6 Willmar If New Ulm would beat Marshall it would mix things up a bit but enough to change things??? Good question, but first, New Ulm will probably not win. Marshal has been playing a lot better since the OT win in early...

Any thoughts on Marshall vs New Ulm tonight? If New Ulm wins tonight they will have swept the Tigers this year which possibly could effect section seeding. N.U. has close losses to section opponents Litch and Hutch but a win tonight might make seeding more difficult.

Lost to Eagan 4-0; beat St Paul Johnson 3-1; play Hopkins at 3:00 today. I watched Luverne's 3-6 loss to Chanhassen on Saturday. Chanhassen is AA but would likely struggle against most top A teams. Luverne's struggles with teams outside of the SW MN Section 3 territory this season (especially Hopki...

with luverene losing to Torino Grace, can we have a little understanding why SPA declined the game? If you polled the entire state this is one of 3 sections that is an embarrassment to the entire state. No one cares who wins or plays in this section except for teams in section 3A. You will see as 3...

Splitting hairs here..... A 1-2-1 should not be #1, no matter their schedule. Three other teams deserve that spot..... Luverne is underated. It is too early to split hairs though, nice job. And who has Luverne played?? They barely got by Marshall winning 3 - 1. I think they will have to play someon...
