Just learned on Channel 5 that the Wild coaches were fired today. No replacements were yet named. In this case, Guerin is to partially blame for extending contracts of some aging players but they're also still paying the price for Leopold's signing of Suter & Parise to those other world contract...

I'm in the second week of hip replacement surgery recovery, so I'm old! Lol!
Bandage came off today.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone. Enjoy the games I can't (yet).

Get well with your hip job and Happy Thanksgiving y’all.

Thanks, TT!

I was out of the state when this happened. I wasn't familiar with this fellow, but my sympathies to the families & everyone who witnessed this beyond worst nightmare event.

Brings to mind the tragic passing of Bill Masterson in an on-ice event, too.

Always a treat when Warroad came to Greenway for a game. Watching Boucha & Antonovich put on a clinic was something to behold. I always thought when Forbes ended his career that it affected Henry for the rest of his life. He & his family lived in Alaska for awhile in his later years when Joe...

They had their northern Hockey Day MN experience in 2019 vs Andover in Burrrmidji

Yup, Minnetonka started that game at 9AM with the temp. at -30!

I don't know any of his history other than his years with our beloved rodents as Pat Ruesse says, but from what I've seen so far, looks like he belongs with the big boys.
He even has a name for hockey!

Yeah, a lot of people thought it was a boring AA tournament. It was hard to tell if you were at an A or AA session, the crowds were so sparse. Could have held it at Aldrich. ESPG, if you want a tournament held at Aldrich, you'd better ring up the St. Paul Parks & Recreation Board & tell the...

First time I watched this show on Bally's Sports . It's a behind the scenes look at high school hockey with a lot of looks at the state arenas plus clips from games, locker room chatter, etc. Very interesting and a nice "extension" of the season. Have any of you seen this? Looks like a ser...

Thanks for the update.

Lechner is a good coach who every year gets some of the best players in the East Metro. Cretin, St. Thomas, and now Lucias Academy are skimming players for the glory of starry eyed parents. Don’t put this guy on a pedestal. He doesn’t walk on water. I’m sure most east metro coaches wish they had to...

Good to hear, Karl.
Thanks for letting us know that.

I'm wondering if any of you members have lived in other states with high school hockey tournaments & what you thought of them versus ours. (We all know ours is the best!)

(Ducks to avoid bricks)

You're too late with the brick thing!

This doesn't say nearly enough, but thanks so much again for your reports on teams, rankings & section rankings & reports Class A! =D> After April, are you going to take a breather now or will you just keep the LED candles burning at both ends periodically in this off-season? :D I was going ...

These are great reports! Enjoyed reading them all. You must be on the Forum editorial staff! :D The only thing I might disagree with is your description of the A 3rd. place game being a "beatdown" unless you are referring to the SOG difference. I was at the game (as well as the A champions...

I watched the replay of the winning goal of the A championship game. Rather than blocking the shot with his stick I bet Slukynsky wishes he would've gloved it instead. Went right to the Zephyr guy and it turned into a pretty game winning goal. As far as an undefeated (1 tie) season, myself and I'm s...

Met Mike at a Duluth East -Rosemount hockey game in 2019. The topic of conversation was he'd coached a son of a friend of mine at Spring Lake Park & now this sons son was a star at Breck. I also voiced concerns at Greenway's slump at the time. He told me I only had to worry about Hermantown. A l...

Congrats to Tonka. They are deserving champions. They were the best team all season. How about the fact that they survived the 2 OT Chanhassen game, the OT Hill game and then the knockdown, drag out slugfest that was tonight. I am so, so proud of the Edina Hornets. I don't want to get too sappy, bu...

BlueLineSpecial wrote: ↑Sat Mar 11, 2023 8:11 am It's dangerous to bet against ESPG, apparently. Nonetheless, I've liked Edina for a while now and suppose I'll stick with them to win a close one.

ESPG?

That pesky prognosticator from Pioneer Place, East Side Pioneer Guy.

You got that right!

Actually, from Bovey, just love the Broncos. Pete Fichuk, pound for pound the toughest hockey player of all time. I was a little bit acquainted with Fichuk. In 1974, I ran a Clark gas station in Excelsior. At the time, I didn't know he'd played for the Falls under Larry Ross. Except for the tournam...

You should see it on a color TV. They have color tv? 😁 In Coleraine. That's right. Then when they came out with remote control, we sent the old ones to International Falls or wherever Elliot hails from. Him and Fichuk would sit around with a couple of Cold Spring beers and watch the I-Falls repeat ...

Mahtomedi wins 6-5!
What a heck of a game.
I wanted Warroad to go undefeated but not to be.
Congrats to both teams on a hard fought contest.

2nd ot coming up!

Overtime here we come!
Everything we wanted on a championship game.
