Whatever

Edina's schedule speaks for itself. Their schedule strength will rate out as one of (if not the) toughest in the state. Wake me when a team eschews the Gold division and doesn't play quality opponents the rest of the year. Hard to believe anyone is playing a tougher slate than the Hornets. Hate 'em ...

my guess

Hockey DB shows he was playing in the Western by age 17 or 18. As a result he couldn't play NCAA hockey. I keep thinking the name sounds familiar so I wonder if a dad or uncle would have played back when the Brotens were on Roseau. Another Byfuglien is playing in Pensacola with two more people born ...

True, but...

I hope they prove me wrong and show me that they are a great team, but as of now I definitely do not see them winning a state title this year. In fact, they might have a tough time getting out of their section. One could argue that a section with Edina, AHA, B'ville, Jefferson, and Chaska is almost...

Where they're supposed to be?

If they were in the Gold division of the Schwan's Cup, where they should be, then they might get that opportunity. Does anyone in the state play a schedule as difficult as Edina? Who don't they play? Moorhead, Roseau, and Hill is about it. DE Cloquet GR EP B'ville and on and on and on AHA in sectio...

No celebration rule at Minnesota Made

Okay, we've all heard how the kids in the Made programs like Machine aren't supposed to show their excitement. It seems funny because nobody got more out of his celebrations than The Great One. Did anyone see Ovechkin today? It was pretty cool. He scored in the slot, was pumping his fist by the time...

I think the lines are: Leer, Lee, Casey Gaarder Everson, Budish, Connor Gaarder Taft, MacDonald, Eppel Gleason is supposedly pairing with Max Everson. I think Jarrett and Baker is another pairing.

Gotcha, I was thinking that but saw Ness's name. Is he classified as a junior? I know he would like to attend the University next year.

yikes

Wayzata certainly has a rough early schedule. Edina, Hill, Duluth East. Common opponents sometimes don't mean much, but we might be an early gauge on how DE compares to the best Metro teams. Edina 5-1 over Wayzata Hill 5-0 over Wayzata Everyone else is beating them so why can't we... I'll go with DE.

Mr Hockey

I suspect that Edina is #1 in most rankings at the end of the season. If not, #2 or #3 with Roseau or Hill-Murray. It looks like some of their players will put up sick point totals and be candidates. At this point probably juniors Anders Lee (five goals in first two games) and Marshall Everson (five...

2007 Draft

I think the Minnesota State High School Leauge is terrible. If the best we had to offer (no offence to Patrick White) last year was ranked 26th in North America, I think we need to re-evaluate things. High School Hockey in the State of Minnesota could be so much better. Last year's draft actually s...

[What the heck are the criteria? They scout the kids, invite them to the tryouts in March, and watch them compete there. That leads to some invites being extended.
