SECTION 8AA , ST Cloud over Roseau 2-1 First big upset. I can't say I watched either team closely, but congrats to St. Cloud (the crush?) on an epic and unexpected trip to Roseau. Roseau had beat them 6-2 earlier in the year. I suppose this is good news for Moorhead. I see Sartell has a solid recor...

I know some other sports have now gone to seeding all 8 teams. It's been going on forever, but does anyone know the logic around only seeding 5 teams? Star Trib story says they are considering changing it again this summer. They chose 4 originally, changed it to be 5 because they didn't want anyone...

White Bear has a better record than Hill and they tied when they played. That said, HM has them on SOS and I think the coaches will give them #1.

I can see Hill losing in the section semis, and also finishing as high as third at state. Avoiding the #1 and #2 seeds in the first round at the X is key to any team outside of 2 and 6, Although I'd also have to say that if Chanhassen upsets Tonka, they aren't a shoe-in to the final. It's really di...

I believe White Bear is leading Cretin 4-1 after two. Incredibly bad fish eye broadcast with no announcers, can't see the scoreboard on either end of the arena, and the trained monkey can't turn the Ipad fast enough to up with the puck. Can't believe I payed ten bucks for this crap. MnhockeyTv neve...

Sudden Victory strikes again. The throwback uni's brought me right back to my time at the school in the late 80's. Those teams often tried to see if they could get to 6 before the opponent. No defense was necessary, just the next rush. This isn't the HM team I'm used to these last 20 years under Lec...

Hill Murray 4 Moorhead 4 After 2 An entertaining, and sloppy, game so far. Moorhead went up 2-0 on a PP goal and then a goal that was a bit flukey. Hill answered with 3 quick goals in the 2nd to take the lead, then Moorhead got 2 - one of which was a weak goal against Lane and the other was a bunch...

That part is true. I told a few people at the last game I attended, I'm happy to see consolation there this year. Plenty big and FREE parking. I would be in favor of skipping Mariucci in the future.

The last ranking on the girls hockey hub shows 6 of the top 10 making it. 1. Minnetonka 2. Hill Murray 3. Andover 5. Edina 8. Northfield 10. Maple Grove I went from this (Feb 5): https://twitter.com/mnhockeytv/status/1754614511607201958/photo/1 1. Minnetonka 2. Hill-Murray 3. Centennial 4. Andover ...

First time in a while its looked like a random draw as Tonka, as the #1 seed, gets Maple Grove. A tough first round matchup for sure.

They all were, if you wanted to pay. 6 of the top 11 teams in the last AA poll failed to make state. Pretty crazy. The last ranking on the girls hockey hub shows 6 of the top 10 making it. 1.

For what it's worth, here's the strength of schedule data https://www.leepagen.com/strength-g.htm I'm not suggesting that Northfield isn't very solid, just becomes a more difficult sell to seed them when Edina's SOS is #2, MG's is #6 and Northfield's is #70. Certainly could be. I was trying to deci...

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but they still played games at aldrich during the season. They did play a few games at Aldrich (I saw the Tonka game there). They mostly played at Polar as the arena needed a main host and the girls could have something more their own. Although I was told it had...

Moorhead's last loss was in December to Minnetonka 2-1. Their goals against was less than 1.5 a game and they have only given up 3 goals once. The Roseau Rams put up 4 in the third period and will be representing 8AA in St. Paul. A very nice win for the Rams. They always represent well. See you Thu...

I saw the goals on the NSPN broadcast, but couldn't watch the whole game because I still want to be married. And they were all good goals. MG was just flat footed and HM buried their chances (which isn't really their strength). Game doesn't mean all that much going into sections other than MG knows ...

Announcer on NSPN TV just said he thinks Gentry #1 seed followed by HM then WBL and Stillwater..... Interesting I heard that too, not sure how he came to that conclusion. Laughably dumb take. Dumbest I’ve heard so far in 2024. The announcer should resign in disgrace :idea: Not that it really matter...

I still miss the Coliseum. But I do love Aldrich.

And I know webcasts aren't necessarily 4K yet, but when you live in Cali, they are glorious. Watched both the girls 4AA semis last night.

Is UST looking at a new arena now they are D1? That place holds even less than the historic gardens WBL plays in. I never liked attending games in that (STA) arena. It looked fine on the stream though... I have no opinion on the seedings and it is highly probable whomever goes from 4AA will be 2 and...

Do we think there has ever been a defending state champ that has lost in the QF of sections the next year? Not trying to pick on Gentry who earned their title last year by beating everyone, but seems a really unusual feat to lose this early.

Exciting for seeds #3 and #4. Too bad for the state tournament. Lakeville North would have been an unranked team that could and has beaten top teams. Now section 3 will get abused in the quarterfinals. Last Four years section 3AA has been outscored 22-1 Well, I didn't they had any chance to beat La...

First batch of games last night with two upsets. #7 Park-Cottage Grove over #2 CDH in 3AA #5 Owatonna over #4 Mankato East Looking at the box score, Park outshot CDH and had a 3-0 lead going into the 3rd. Its a clear coasting process of Lakeville North as not one team in the section can compete wit...
