I love your logic...GR3343 1) Anoka beat Andover twice this season (most recently 5-2 just 11 days ago) and GR lost to FL earlier this year...and we have the sterner test...how is that a logical statement? 2) We have an excellent record going 19-6 and beat top teams Centennial and Blaine along the ...

The outlook for Rapids is not good. Past success does not ensure present success. Rapids has not beaten a quality team this year. They also have "bad" losses to Forest Lake and Hibbing. I'm not a big fan of analyzing a game by shots on goal, but being outshot by almost 3 to 1 is not a ver...

Roseau was very impressive. Their forecheck is relentless and they totally smother your breakout in the neutral zone. Ness didn't disappoint and Tyler Landman is one heck of a player and just like the state final last season, he rarely lost a faceoff. Roseau may not have the individual talent that E...

Why is one of these games played in Eveleth? They don't even draw a hundred fans for their own home games. I went to the CCM game there two years ago and aside from parents of players and out of town fans, the place was nearly empty. Move it to where there might be some interest from the local fans,...

Green 8 Orange 0 Ouch. Is that a dig? :) Rapids has played some of their best hockey this season against some of the states better teams, unfortunately no noteworthy wins. It's hard not to pick the Rams on their home ice, but it will be much better game than that. Should be a one or two goal game.

There's no one worse on the range than Tok. He's always trying to be the center of attention. The stunt he pulled Saturday during the Rapids and Anoka game is an embarassment to all guys who wear the stripes. Time to hang up the skates!

Difference in the game today was a lunch pail team could not beat Anoka's D-1 talent. Other than that boys argue on about who saw what and who outplayed who. Don't matter Anoka burried the biscuit.

3-0 Anoka Congratulations on a well played game boys! Aside from a decent looking goalie and power play, Anoka didn't show much else. Rapids outplayed them for most of the game and had a big territorial advantage. I will give credit where credit is due though. The Tornadoes capitalized on their opp...

The shot totals and score don't reflect the considerable territorial advantage Rapids had in this game. As usual, they didn't shoot the puck enough when the opportunities were there, particularily on the power play. I was a bit suprised by the undisciplined play of Cloquet in the later stages of the...

Pucknutz,
Are you serious? The Ponies are one of the weakest teams on Rapids schedule this year. Most hockey fans knew this game didn't pose much of a threat to the orange and black. You shouldn't knock Rapids program when the Ponies have done nothing to speak of forever.
