Re: winter state tournaments

The governor can relax the order and allow a higher capacity, but the MSHSL has the final say. And anyone who thinks that’s a slam dunk hasn’t been paying attention. Already seeing rumblings that they see it as a logistics challenge to go over 250. Absolutely ridiculous, but that’s who we’re dealing...

Re: winter state tournaments

SO glad they are having a tournment... With the recent covid shut downs just hoping teams get to play and dont lose their season to a shutdown. Fans are not a big concern at all . I would argue the fans are the whole point, especially the parents. Without fans, this is either (1) the Fall Elite Lea...

Re: The Hermantown Thread

something made plain by Gentry having an incredible team with an enrollment of only 54 kids !!! Umm...Good example of how bad data that starts somewhere just carries through as fact. Probably doesn’t change the impression of those who see Gentry as an evil-doer, but enrollment is closer to 300. But...

Re: Computer Ratings new constraint?

It's too bad they've got this good team and nobody to play. Wayzata, Minnetonka, Eden Prairie & Edina would give them a solid opponent. Instead it's going to be a high point of Blake and we're left to wonder. That’s one thought and approach. It’s all conjecture, I just don’t think it’s accurate...

I think we a better sense of where the SEC stacks up relative to everything else than we do with Gentry, who has yet to play a very good opponent and probably remains a bit of a mystery even to people who have watched them. I would avoid re-working a system based on perceptions of Gentry at this po...

Re: Computer Ratings new constraint?

Cretin & Gentry are sub-.500 if they played the 4 strong Lake teams over and over. I can’t speak to Cretin’s chance, but I’ll take the over against your prediction with Gentry. Team is deep, F’s are fast and highly skilled, they are physical and the D are stingy but able to jump into the offens...

Re: Games Saturday 1-16

Will people actually be cheering for Hermantown in the Class A title game this year???? No. Unless they're from Hermantown.

Re: The 2021 Goalie Thread

I’m admittedly partial, but Timmons for Gentry is outstanding. Big improvement year over year and didn’t have an off game last year. Was 14-1 and just short of 92% SV% on a team built around offense. He’s good and the only thing holding him out of the discussion is probably GA’s schedule. Stronger s...
