Grand Rapids vs Andover - Section 7AA Final

Three weeks ago, the Thunderhawks squeaked by the Huskies 2-1. Rapids goaltender Myles Gunderson thwarted a Gavyn Thoreson penalty shot awarded at the end of regulation to secure the home win. Andover played that game without first-line winger Cooper Conway, who tallied 5 points (2 goals, 3 assists)...

move Bemidji or Brainerd to 7.
Using the existing format, this is ideally what should happen, but . . .

Re: Section Playoffs Super Saturday 2-26-22 Games

There aren't enough AA northern teams to fill two sections and thus guarantee two 218 representatives each year. You can, however, do exactly what's being done right now - splitting AA 218 teams into two sections, intermixed with some northern metro teams. AS ESPG pointed out, this can give 218 two...

Re: Section Playoffs Super Saturday 2-26-22 Games

. . . There are 8 AA programs north of the Saint Cloud area, enough for their own section. There is only one reason that section assignments allow for two northern teams, that would be nostalgia. Nostalgia is a dangerous drug that should only be taken in limited doses under close supervision. There...

Re: AA teams you would like to see at State

[/quote] Oh please. The 218ers are the darlings of the tournament. The wailing and gnashing of teeth when there are not a pair of teams from the 218 is annoying. And when there were none, why it was nauseating. And I suspect much of the wailing is from people who rarely if ever venture inside the bo...

Re: Games Saturday 2-5-22

Grand Rapids was too much for Wayzata. The Trojans never quite got their defensive game going and the herky jerky offense of Grand Rapids put them in too many bad spots. Was a good game to watch. Grand Rapids is a real threat to Andover. Final Grand Rapids 5-3 over Wayzata Where is the 7AA section ...

Rapids plays its last regular season road game vs Brainerd on Tuesday. Then it's 6 straight home games to finish out the year.

Re: Section 7AA Final - Andover vs Grand Rapids

I thought the writing was on the wall when Rapids couldn't convert on their three PPs in the first period. Offensive firepower was always this team's Achilles Heel, and when they didn't take the early chances they got, it spelled trouble. Garrett Schifsky was the difference-maker, along with Will L...

Not a lot of love for Andover - surprising. Also, what's better for Andover: playing this game at Rapids without the usual rabid Rapids contingent filling the IRA, or playing this game at Amsoil, if it were a normal year? Seems Amsoil would have the better option for the Huskies in an ironic twist ...

Section 7AA Final - Andover vs Grand Rapids

Might as well get this going. Defending Section champion makes the somewhat difficult journey to Grand Rapids. Will the Huskies leave their legs on the bus or will they make it two in a row for a 7AA "southern" representative?

Rapids is buying themselves a trip to Anoka County for scheduling Hermantown twice. Jesus forgives, QRF does not! :lol: Perhaps, Andover doesn't exactly have a smooth ride either with MG and games against Cent & TG could also be stumbling blocks. True, but QRF docks you more for losing to a cla...
