More of a Datsyuk / Chara type hybrid.

Two hours you will never get back plus the vision of a naked man with celery stuck in his rear, brilliant.

I'm glad we finally found some common ground.

2112- Yes I feel that playing D-1 hockey is a VERY high level of hockey. And a great acomplishment by Charlie. I think UMD just had the Hoby winner. I would think he was a somewhat developed hockey player. Maybe You feel a kid needs to be an NHL Allstar to be considered developed. And thats cool di...

Well, if so, Puck will be happy...

Big Lou said on the radio it's almost a lock now that he'll be in a Wild sweater next season.

I'll quit caring until July 1 then.

Anyone have their kids play this tournament in the past? Likes? Dislikes? Anyone doing it this year? Looks like a fun weekend. http://www.nscsports.org/page/show/483878-walmart-hockey-cup-3v3-tournament really a blast. This will be my son's third year participating. The amount of enjoyment the team...

I've got no problem pointing fingers at any adult acting this way. Coaches and refs included. I do think we are all responsible for our own behavior, and a bad referee or coach is no excuse for ones own child like behavior. I've seen a referee ruin a good hockey game, but never seen one ruin a life...

Agreed, and by that logic aren't 99.6% of us wasting every dime we've ever spent???

Seems to be almost all Blades/Machine? How do the anti Blades/Machine crowd feel about that? these are '97's yet correct? the '98's should / could be the first year you start to see more parity in the "colors" represented. Lots of very talented '98's out there not on the big 2. '99's on down there ...

On a side note: I think the '99 class will be one of the better ones our state will produce. 2000's by a long shot. So deep, so much talent from all over the metro. Including a possibility of 3-4 "phenom"-type players at that level. And another with a 2000 son... goodness people ... I even italiciz...

The AA/A model just reinforces that Edina/Maple Grove etc. are the best and will always win. A truly balanced system would open championship hopes to many more associations and maintain the top level of play we have today. This hits the nail on the head. Which Bo summarizes here. Just think of the ...

No, the level the Cisar's played did NOT hurt their development. They are able to compete with the best HS players in the State. Yet their TEAM can't because the talent level of the entire team is not equal to the Cisar's. And their teammates did not magically get better playing with the Cisar's. I...

'02 Blades in the '01 Invite Level?

Don't know, I'm asking.

As I've stated...this new system helps the Big 9 (Edina, Wayzata, OMG, Stillwater, Moorhead, Rochester, Woodbury, White Bear, and Minnetonka). Their 16-30 players now get a chance to wear an A sweater instead of B1. It also will reduce the number of blow outs in the Regional tournaments and in theo...

But they have a lobster claw machine ... how could this happen?!?!

How many in the top 100 spent time playing hockey for their local association? I don't want one year wonders that played for their association in a tournament or two but kids that played for at least a couple of years for their home association team. :P whoa whoa whoa whoa WHOA. please do not inter...

Dammit! And to think I went with the whole "you attacked me with a salad fork argument"

Bold move? I did a quick look up for the PW A's - around 105, Sqt's are near the same? out of those 105 A teams, around 61 had 3 teams or less around 79 had 4 teams or less Edina had 9 PW teams, 12 Sqt teams I would say IF 79 out of 105 having 4 teams or less and putting out an A team that would be...

I have a question:

Why does Osseo / Maple Grove combine? Different high schools ... should be different youth associations. Some ridiculous number of something like +100 squirts last year I heard.
