Re: 7AA 2019-2020

I believe Andover is going to reload with decent jv and bantam players coming in, its most likely a very bold statement on Elk River. As for Grand Rapids I took the time to reflect and Grand Rapids has had two awful teams the last few years it made me think a decent team was way better then it real...

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

It looked like it was on the line when the goaltender got up. I don’t think it crossed. 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 hav...

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

Grand Rapids got robbed on a score. Replay clearly showed it was in., but whistle blew & that's it. ER empty netter so it's 3-1 ER final. Sad. It looked like it was on the line when the goaltender got up. I don’t think it crossed. It was definitely in. Replay clearly showed that most if not all...

Re: 7AA 2019-2020

Should be the last season at Amsoil in 2020. DM and CEC are good as gone for 2021. Make 7AA all south section and move East and Rapids over to Section 8. That is what needs to be done. Pop a brain cell MSHSL and get er done =D> Roseau Moorhead Bemidji Brainerd East Rapids DONE!!!! You go to that al...

I will say especially with CEC "Super Fan" folding the tent on AA hockey in early 2020. He should have played that card at post season theater. Lost his frequency so maybe he is back on Lake Superior Starz bandwagon :lol: CEC “super fan” lives in a make believe world. Do you guys actually...

Re: 7AA 2019-2020

It would be huge, but there were actually a lot of Andover fans there last year for the final too. Student section was full and lots of other fans. They were louder than the East fans until late in the 3rd and Overtime. Then I would say the East fans were a little louder. If East wins and everyone ...

Re: 7AA 2019-2020

Rapids is definitely locked in as we roll into sections. Playing lights out defense. Haven't allowed more than 2 goals in over a month. Clafton GAA below 1.70. Cloquet was getting pretty frustrated late in the game, couldn't buy a goal so laid a cheap cross check against Young in the closing minute...

Good news on the injury front for Grand Rapids it sounds like hunter well be back for playoffs, hopefully Joey can come back for playoffs also.

Re: 7AA 2019-2020

Rapids at Cloquet on Tuesday, and I haven’t got a clue. At Duluth East for QF will be interesting that’s for sure. CEC won 5-4 in OT at home , and got hit by a Mac truck in Duluth 5-0. It will be a battle! I thought the Jacks looked pretty good at times against Hermantown. Young goaltender was pret...

Re: 7AA 2019-2020

Lets hope the latest surge carries into an exciting 7AA 3 team race at the very least. Unfortunately Cloquet is self destructing once again. Could have made for a formidable semi Saturday with 3 teams peaking as challengers to Andover. Knivsy whats in the drinking water at CEC? That’s a good questi...

Duluth East and Grand Rapids with big wins tonight, 7AA is alive. Very entertaining game. Both teams played fast. Rapids continues to play good defensively and getting great goaltending. Concerned about DelGreco. Didn’t look good when he left the ice after he got pounded into the end boards. Did no...

Re: Games Saturday 2-1-2020

Good take GI-80. It was a very satisfying game, especially once GR got fired-up midway through the second period. DelGreco is really a spark plug for this team. If he gets going it seems the rest of the team follows. Has anyone else noticed that a Rapids player always gets hurt by a Wayzata cheap s...

Re: 7AA 2019-2020

I think Randover already had the bug earlier in the season? It’s starting to look like East vs. Forest Lake in the 4/5 matchup. East has already lost to Flake, Rapids, and Cloquet so I don’t think they climb any higher than ther current QRF to get beyond any tie breaker. Flake has lost Cloquet and ...

Re: Games Saturday 1-24-20

I thought the overall play from Rapids and HM was pretty sloppy. Neither team looking very sharp. Rapids continues to struggle scoring goals. It’s time to simplify things...start shooting more, putting pucks on net and crashing hard for rebounds. Quit trying to thread the perfect passes through traf...

Re: Games Thursday 1-23-2020

It was a very good game. Rapids outshot the Spuds by a few and had many good opportunities in the third where they couldn’t get the shots on net...seems to be an ongoing problem for them. Fun game to watch between two solid teams.

CEC with the 4-2 win tonight. That team will be tough to beat in section this year. Right score, wrong teams. Rapids in control most of the game. Aside from the first 30 seconds and a pp goal, galatz and co were held in check. Cloquet doesn't look very deep beyond that top line. We had 7 kids out t...
