Re: Fluid AA Offseason Rankings: 2024-25

A couple minor tweaks. Shakopee and White Bear Lake both move up slightly. No news, just my own reconsideration.

Re: Fluid AA Offseason Rankings: 2024-25

Thanks for the constructive feedback and discussion! I should clarify that players who *might* leave are considered staying with their team unless we hear otherwise with certainty. Rogers: I like how much depth and experience they return, despite the Bumgarner loss. Maybe #2 is a little high but in ...

Re: Anyone else having trouble with the stream?

I watched the tourney exclusively by stream as I don’t have an antenna and my TV stream package doesn’t include 45 for locals. It was pretty awful the whole tourney with it cutting out. Some instances I nearly missed whole periods. Yes, felt like every time it went to commercial last night the stre...

Fluid AA Offseason Rankings: 2024-25

Letting things breathe is overrated. To paraphrase Happy Gilmore: 245 days until next year’s hockey tryouts! (or something like that, I may have counted wrong) 1.

Re: 2024 AA tourney

In all seriousness, Chanhassen was GREAT tonight. Like Lou said, they did everything but win the game.

I was very impressed with the way they carried themselves after the game as well. That coaching staff and those kids are special.

Re: 2024 AA tourney

Last I checked you're allowed to kill a penalty even if you disagree with it :mrgreen:

(it was the correct call btw). Halverson can be an agitator... which he used as an asset tonight. Part of hockey. Don't retaliate. Go Hornets. Haters gonna hate.

Found it.

2011-12 #7 seed Armstrong entered with a record of 6-17-2 and beat #2 seed and defending state champion Eden Prairie who entered with a record of 17-7-1.

edit: pagestat had EP as a 4.63 goal favorite that night.

Re: Playoff Games Monday 2/27/24

Fun first game at the Mar. Eastview wanted to pound Cretin physically and the Raiders gave it right back to them.

Hadn’t seen either team all season. For some reason I thought the Lightning would be deeper but it was Cretin who slowly took over the game as it went on.

Re: Elk River over Moorhead 4-2

Next year will be an interesting year for Moorhead. Will all the youth success start translating to the high school level? I don't think it's time to panic, but in my opinion their program is a little bit behind schedule.

A few stray comments: My "not as dominant" comment in regards to Edina wasn't about their overall body of work so much as their gameplay. They got outshot by a lot by Wayzata, and while the shots were closer in the Tonka game, I thought they were outchanced; I would not say they controlle...

Re: AA Rankings for 1/28/24

Pagestat still really likes Eden Prairie (AA #6) and is really meh about St. Thomas (AA #14). It sees Minnetonka as clearly ahead of #2 Chanhassen (.86 goals) #2 Chanhassen, #3 Wayzata, and #4 Edina are all within .38 goals of each other. It then drops off significantly with #5 Maple Grove 1.57 goal...
