Re: 7AA 2019-2020
CEC with the 4-2 win tonight. That team will be tough to beat in section this year. Right score, wrong teams. Rapids in control most of the game. Aside from the first 30 seconds and a pp goal, galatz and co were held in check. Cloquet doesn't look very deep beyond that top line. We had 7 kids out t...

Re: Games Tuesday 1-14-2020
GR 4-2 over Cloquet. Galatz a bright spot for the lumberjacks. Rapids good at limiting his chances and working the forecheck. GR in control most of the game. Refs with a quick whistle during a cloquet pp with the goalie pulled, they thought it was icing, GR scored but didn't count. I thought the re...

TG 3 Andover 3 OVERTIME coming☝️ And.................... Takes on GR vs DE please? 😉 Rapids squeaks one out 2 - 1. East scored with 8 minutes remaining to make it tight. Shots were about even. Rapids wasn’t as fluid tonight getting the puck up the ice against that trap. East will be a tough out com...

Re: 7AA 2019-2020
Awful loss today at home for Grand Rapids, idk why they don’t drive wide more and use there speed on teams instead of trying to stick handle through people. I see 3-5 more wins this season playing the way the have been playing, goalie has been average to awful at times and the defense turns the puc...

Re: The Hermantown Thread

Re: Friday Grand Rapids vs Eden Prairie
The two guys commentating the games are not good. They knew the names of every player on the west metro teams, struggled mightily with the Rapids kids and couldn’t even pronounce coach Chiodo’s name correctly. Interesting. Does Grand Rapids provide line charts with pronunciation for the media? Stan...

Re: Friday Grand Rapids vs Eden Prairie
Much better effort by the T-Hawks tonight. A little puck luck and they may have pulled off the upset. Watching last nights and tonight’s game on the stream, it looked to me like Edina is quicker than EP. Maybe a different impression from those who were there 🤔. The two guys commentating the games ar...

Re: 3 PM Matinee Games - BLAH!!
I like the matinee games. It’s nice to get home by a decent time, especially on those below zero days or go to your favorite establishment afterwards and enjoy a cold beverage & something to eat.

Re: Games Friday 11/29/19
I think the most encouraging thing from this game is the way Rapids could have folded and given-in. Instead this seemed a real character game to me. Like I reported after the BSM win, this is a very likeable GR team. They hustle, work together well, and seem tough-minded. It is early in the season,...

Re: 7AA 2019-2020
Rapids is fortunate to get him. Hope he’s in for the long haul. This program needs some stability after all these coaching changes the last number of years. Good luck Wade and staff!

Re: 7AA 2019-2020
If they want a shot at winning the section they’ll pick Chiodo rather than another former Rapids player. Chiodo is a proven winner. He would be okay as an interim coach. If they want to win the section this year, they are better candidates. I pretty sure he took a couple teams to state within the l...

Re: 7AA 2019-2020
Either one would be a good choice. Who knows, maybe Beau Geisler is in the mix too. Another qualified possibility who’s a good guy and coach.greenwayraider wrote: ↑Sun Nov 03, 2019 12:39 pmIf they want a shot at winning the section they’ll pick Chiodo rather than another former Rapids player.

Re: 7AA 2019-2020
Any info on Rapids coaching search? Interviews happening when? It was posted within the last week. Interested candidates had ten days to apply. What I heard. I was also told it couldn’t have been offered to anyone without posting the position, so rumors about Clafton turning it down are probably ju...

Re: 7AA 2019-2020
Heard from a very reliable source that Grant turned down the Rapids job. Heard the same. Wise move on his part. His style of coaching would not work in Rapids. Bit of a payback? I’m thinking Grand Rapids hires an interim for this year with and understanding Clafton will Coach Grand Rapids next year...

Re: 7AA 2019-2020
Grant Clafton did something last year in coaching that Reed Larson hasn’t sniffed. Grand Rapids needs a great coach. Not another former NHLer that played high school puck in Grand Rapids. That run last year Clafton led those Greenway boys on Was EPIC/Legendary 👏 Not sure where you get your info, bu...

Re: 2019 Elite League Rosters
So what you are saying narcotic is that if it rains, it is going to be wet outside. You’ve got a point there. My point being, better next year. I thought I laid it out so a 3rd grader could figure it out. As far as the goaltending, our returning senior is decent, but he will not steal any wins agai...

Re: 2019 Elite League Rosters
Those 3 Rapids sophomores are good , like I said Rapids is going to Be loaded next year as long as nobody leaves early and if they can just find a average goaltender. I think Rapids is loaded more this year than they will be next year and will just be a gauntlet for the next several, several years....

Re: 7AA 2019-2020
Well. I think the Edina summer festival proved that 7AA is not going anywhere. It will be interesting to see the Elk River elite roster numbers this fall to try and gauge the kind of team they’ll have this winter. Summer hockey doesn’t mean a thing!

So Jack Peart is the best on Grand Rapids roster last year and this year? Peart and Clafton will be a very nice combination. What’s their forwards situation.

Re: 7AA 2019-2020
This is the 2nd year of a 3 year stretch where Cloquet won the Bantam North Regional, I wouldn't sleep on them. I think Knivens boys go south next March! CEC needs to figure out some goaltending. Any team making a trip to St. Paul wins with good goaltending. The younger Langenbrunner kid is best de...
