Re: Playoff Games Saturday 2/24/24

Which means no northern team will represent Section 8 this year since Elk River and Buffalo will play for the section championship next week. If Andover wins Section 7 again, there will be no northern teams at the tourney this year. Would make for the best state tournament ever!! 1965 was pretty go...

Re: Playoff Games Monday 2/27/24

One ticket gets you into both 3AA games…so not only just good matchups, but a good value.

I thought MNHockey.TV would be neutral with announcing. This BSM/Edina game you would swear was being aired on Edina Public Access.

Re: Playoff Games Saturday 2/24/24

I should have stuck around EP/Tonka to ask the refs what the going rate was for a Tonka penalty. Talk about one sided. Maybe the lead scriptwriter knew, or left it to the refs to decide? Rarely gripe about the refs, but holy smokes from the opening puck drop it was really insane. The cross checks r...

Moore and Burrows have to be the favorites in the clubhouse based on production and NHL Central Scouting rankings.

Re: Coaching Changes 2024-25 - Official Thread

Would be nice to have Lee Smith back in the MSHSL, but I'm sure he's not missing the politics out in Utah now. If Salt Lake ends up with an NHL franchise, it's more opportunity for him to grow the sport out there.

GoFan must be an Edina Schools thing. That was the system for getting into Braemar this season.

Re: Playoff Games Thursday 2/22/24

EP 6 HF 2 Expected a better game from HF, but EP was much more battle tested and dominated the entire game. Seems like HF’s game plan of trying to knock Moe out early backfired as EP got fired up and scored shortly after… Agreed. HF just came out flat and never really got going. If EP can play a si...

HFC or Cretin could make an argument for best 5 seed in AA.
Oof...yeah, that was a swing and a miss. I put the jinx on these games. Good win for Cretin though.

Re: The Minnetonka Machine, and where they came from

For what it's worth Tonka AA Bantams are currently ranked 4th, the PeeWee AA 1st and Squirt A is 10th. So unless those teams are also filled by ill gotten dirty transfers, Tonka teams in near future could return to being dominated by homegrown talent. Also FWIW, the Tonka JV team was 24-1-0 this se...

Re: Pick 8 for AA

If Tonka or Wayzata/Edina don't win it all at state, I'd be shocked. The Lake Conference is on such a different level from everyone else, that it's almost unfair. 1. Lake South 2. Minnetonka 3. Rosemount, Eastview 4. Hill 5. Maple Grove 6. Edina, Wayzata 7. Andover, Grand Rapids 8. Moorhead 1 X 1 X ...
