Re: 7AA Semifinal II: Elk River vs Grand Rapids

It was definitely in. Replay clearly showed that most if not all of the puck was across the line. Problem was the ref wasn’t behind the goal enough to see it cross and had blown the whistle. Goal judge would have seen it if there was one. Heard Peart was playing with bad thigh bruise from mid first...

Re: Cloquet Goalie Quits team

Not the wisest of moves to go sit idle on a NA3HL bench. Had he remained at Cloquet he likely is playing this Saturday in the semi against Rapids. I hope the kid has a great junior career but make no mistake hockey won't get any easier or "fair". So I guess you are saying the goalie that ...

There are too many old school guys in Cloquet that would never allow this to happen. Right or wrong, I agree with them. Play the best competition. A Kniven like post?

Re: Bemidji at Moorhead

A lot of times the red light is synced to the clock and if the clock is stopped the red light won't come on. But things happens so fast that the whistle could have blown and the red light come on before the clock operator stopped it. Another aspect and I don't know one ref that would consciously ma...

Re: 7AA 2019-2020

I don’t get the bandwagon with everyone saying cloquet needs or should go to single A , they are not getting killed every season like ST Francis was . Maybe Elk River wants to drop down to single A with that logic , they have not made it to the state tournament sense 2001. @Edinahopkins agree on ol...

Re: 7AA 2019-2020

What do you mean by this? I assume he means they will either cease to exist as a program (Marshall) or move to Class A? That seems like a big leap of logic for CEC , though. Also, you can’t have a section with fewer than eight teams, so you would need to throw St. Cloud and someone else in the mix ...

Re: 7AA 2019-2020

Different kind of year for sure. It will be a very different semi final Saturday. A few thoughts- Andover is looking the part of the heavy favorite. Especially with their nemesis East out of the picture. After starting out 5-5-1 Rapids is 13-2 while giving up 12 goals. Pretty impressive. Elk River ...

They also hosted last season, but got "upset" by Elk River. To Forest Lake's credit, they brought a very good crowd; you could tell one side of the arena was excited to be in this game, and the other was just sort of nervous about it. East's very passive forecheck, which was their Hail Ma...

Re: AA Goalies Over 90% Saves For Reg Season

With 41, does that make a 90% save percentage just above ordinary...in other words, has the bar for good goaltending been raised? Think about it, if you see 30 shots(10/period), translates to 3.00 goals allowed, I think we crossed that threshold several years ago. I am far from an expert on goalten...
