Re: 2020 Section Tournament Scores Thread

For Prior Lake the next two years are probably their years. They will have their chance. For Rosemount.......this was their year. As an outstate guy.....I’ll never understand why twin cities kids look around and go “hey......we have a really good group here! I’m going to go play somewhere else.”. Ev...

Thanks for the clarification. That isn’t the math I had in mind so I was off target. Never mind me.

I know it was meant as sarcasm O town.......but one of the best posts of the year. The best part is it’s probably true. I know I’ll be cheering for Edina to come out of 6AA.

Re: Bemidji at Moorhead

I’ve talked to multiple people that were at the game. The shot in question was 20 feet plus from the net when the whistle blew. That’s pretty much all that matters as the players likely stopped at that point. It can’t be proven that they did. It can’t be proven that they didn’t. The Bemidji fans in ...

For more information on this topic please look back to see the same thread that has taken place every year for the last 20 years. What has changed in the last 20 years? Nothing.

Re: Bemidji at Moorhead

No controversy I don’t think. Clear guy in the crease. The puck was 15 feet from the net still when the ref blew his whistle.

Re: Bemidji at Moorhead

I did see the stream. All hats off go to the Bemidji goalie. He completely stood on his head. That should have been an 8-0 game but he just refused to break. Shots were 55-17 per The Hub. Numerous great saves on loose pucks in close, deflections labeled for corners......you name it. One of the best ...

Re: Could a Class A team win it all this year if we still had single class tourney?

The simple answer to this question is no. I’ve seen the two Section 8 candidates in this discussion multiple times and there is likely, id even call it literally, no chance that they could win the AA tournament. I honestly don’t think it’s even a discussion. Great Class A teams. Very good. But winni...

Re: Section 8AA section projections

Roseau is 5-4-1 in the section. The next best in section record is 3-4 and the other two teams under consideration played noticeably easier in section schedules. The teams in the mess all have fairly similar overall records, Rogers a notch below, but Roseau has noticeably better quality wins than th...

Re: Section 8AA section projections

It’s pretty tough to only focus on blemishes when the teams play such different in section schedules. Some teams play 10 games and some play 7 or 8. In my mind, for the in section snapshot, tie goes to the team that played more section games. Especially if they played tougher games within their 10. ...

Re: Games Friday 2/7/20

Both teams clearly played a role and were penalized accordingly. No one could deny that. But in these situations usually the first hit or blow matters and is often why the events that follow happen and are also often penalized as such as they were here. You are representing that one hit started the ...

Class A......you missed the opening Salvo. Triggs was reacting to defend Johnson. The dirty hit was Perbix on Johnson right before that which is why Perbix ended up with the 5 minute major.

Agree with the comments that the Moorhead SCC game was a great game. Playoff level intensity with a lot of great plays. Fun to watch.
