This time they ran into a team on fire. Wayzata looks really good. Nice win for them.

As my grandfather used to say when I started fast in cribbage: "A good horse starts slow."

Re: Games of the Night

Fun discussion. Sadly, I think the bell signaling the death of community-based girls high school hockey has been ringing for awhile. I favor more co-ops because the logical thing to "fix" girls hockey - strengthening and enforcing transfer rules - will never happen. So rather than wonderi...

Re: Games of the Night

By being in favor of more co-ops would it signal the death of girls hockey in the long run? If youth programs know that they can just co-op later down the road they will not be forced to recruit young girls in the community. Youth boards are heavily invested in boys hockey and recruitment of girls ...

HM v Stillwater in case any one wants to watch. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ixhp-EkH6PI 1-0 HM early in the first. Stillwater announcers are unaware that it is not Darwitz and Bobrowski behind the bench. 2-0 HM with 10 left in period 1. Stillwater found their legs late and had some chances, but ...

Re: AA Rankings for 12/3/23

Rosemount had a good team a couple years ago with Jake Ratzlaff, if I recall correctly. Went on to play football at Wisconsin and is switching to the hockey team there. Or last I heard.

Re: Games Saturday Dec 2

HM comes back to earn a tie 3-3 with Hermantown. Hill has now been outscored 5-0 in the first period through 2 games. Something to tighten up for sure. Landon Cottingham has been a star so far. Looked really good today (although I didn't see the whole game). Maybe Hermantown should consider moving u...

HM survives Eden Prairie 4-3 in OT. Hill scores 3 times in the third to tie it including a goal with the goalie pulled and less than a minute to get it to 3-3. Then gets dominated in OT and yet somehow scores with about 12 seconds left to get the win. Seeing as not much was expected from EP this ye...

Re: Games of the Night

HM wins a close one 2-1. Edina outshot them 29-22, so I assume it was very even. I wasn't able to watch. They see each other at least once more, so Edina will have a chance to exact some revenge. Edit: Guess they don't have a second scheduled game. Hill plays Tonka, Andover and Holy Family twice. No...

Champlin Park/Coon Rapids

CP/CR is 4-0 on the season. Watching scores from California, I know little about rosters and expectations going into the season. That said, it surprises me these two schools had to combine but happy to see them having some success this year. Was this expected?

We all know what they did last time in 4AA. Maybe the craziest game I have seen in 50 years.

Gentry lost 4-2 to Northfield yesterday and were outshot 43-26. That's pretty head scratching to me as someone who doesn't pay attention to who graduated.

no Maple Grove? I can't believe they'd have fallen off that far. And I think WBL could be top 10 this year, we'll see. How good will Moorhead be? Can East or Rapids give Andover a game? Will Blaine ever be good again? Was Champlin a one year fluke? What happened to the south/east metro with Woodbury...

Re: Coaching Changes

Guessing Coach Darwitz may lead the Whitecaps. She is co-coach at Hill-Murray with Bobrowski. Wow. And now back as GM of the new MN Pro Women's team. So no Bobrowski has the job alone. And now YHH is suggesting Bobrowski will be an assistant on the new pro team. What a strange summer.

Re: Coaching Changes

Hill Murray Coaching job has been filled. Announcement coming tomorrow. The Longest Day. Perhaps Johnny is having Brendan Shanahan-style second thoughts or they're still negotiating the buyout... I think they are just trying to decide if they should announce it on Sports Center or just hold a press...
