Re: Biggest Tourney upsets

The 1980 final with Grand Rapids and Hill Murray should be up there too. Hill was undefeated going into the final and lost 2-1, despite outshooting Rapids 32-16. A couple things about the 1980 tournament. Nobody could have anticipated that after Rapids won the title it would be 37 years before anot...

Re: Mahtomedi vs Hermantown

It's easy to find things to complain about when it comes to sports in general. But I would have to say that Minnesota Hockey is alive and well. This game was fantastic. I didn't care who won. I just wanted to see a great game. These two teams did that.

Re: Hill-Murray vs St. Thomas Academy - Semi-Final Friday

Where are Sparlimb's comments on the game? As much as I hate to admit it, these boys are really fun to watch. For the first time in my life I can say that I will be cheering for Hill-Murray tomorrow night. I'm trying not to throw up in my mouth while I say that. It's like cheering for Hitler vs. St...

In the old days you couldn't get a ticket. Of course there were only 2 D1 teams in Minnesota then. I also saw quite a few empty seats tonight at the X.

Re: Mahtomedi vs Warroad

God that was painful Warroad didn’t play bad today. They just ran into a hot goalie and their goalie, who is usually very good, had a tough, uptight day. I am willing to bet that, if they played Maht 10 times, they would win 8. But, hats off to Maht, they made the best of their opportunities. Agree...

Running time win for Hermantown. No “playing with their food before they eat” it in this one 😶
Anything is possible but I doubt they put SCC into running time.

Congrats to STA, they played their system to a T & their goalie was Red Hot. Plus this was Andovers first ever AP OK appearance in a AA State tourney and at least they accomplished that coming out of 7AA, which was a significant accomplishment (nonetheless tonight’s result) Only time I have see...

This is a heck of a game. STA is skating with them. Andover has the talent edge, but STA knows how to play defensively. Anyone's game going into the 3rd period.

Re: Andover St. Thomas Academy

Don't agree Joe. That was too good of a game to say that. St. Thomas is good enough to win it all. Andover was clearly the better team: they just let STA win a game they had no business winning I agree that Andover would probably beat them 6 or 7 out of 10. I'm just saying it was far from a choke. ...
