It's gonna be a chilly one out there tomorrow, bundle up! High of around 20 in the morning with temps falling around noon, winds 20-30 with a chance for some snow. At least there are no worries about mushy ice. As for the game, I could see this being closer than people think with the conditions/weat...

The last few games Rapids has got a few other names besides the top line showing up on the score sheet. The 2nd and 3rd lines have been looking more cohesive. That could be from switching Mann and Jonah around, I like that move, and having Jake Bischoff play with the 3rd and 1st line.

Another tie between these two squads. 5-5 with GR having about a 5 shot advantage after it was all said and done. GR found themselves in a 3-0 hole shortly after the 2nd started. Came back with 3 unanswered goals to make it 3-3. CEC went up 4-3. GR ties 4-4. CEC up 5-4 and GR ties again 5-5. They sh...

Good game by both squads. From what I saw it was basically everything I expected, although I would have preffered a few more shots on goal and a couple more in the East net :D Lots of hits in the 1st. East's D does a good job of clogging shooting and passing lanes, they are rarely out of position. R...

I didn't fail to read the rest of the sentence, I read it and did not see anywhere in that post that Hermantown had a pp. But after looking back at your earlier post I saw that you had mentioned it, my bad.

As for the game, Hermantown spent 13 minutes shorthanded, Grand Rapids 0 minutes shorthanded and the shots were 22-19 GR and Hermantown still led 3-2 at that point thru 2 periods and the first 3+ min of the 3rd. Hermantown's problem was staying out of the penalty box. I absolutely agree with other ...

What a great game! Glad I made the trip down to watch! Once again Rapids came out not playing to their full potential finding themselves down 2-0 after 1. The second was mostly Rapids, they came out flying and looked impressive. However after hitting 2 more pipes, (1 in the 1st) it felt like one of ...

Nice job by CEC to bring the heat and tie with a couple min to go. Rapids looked like they went into defensive, non aggressive mode and let it slip away. As far as seedings go I don't think a tie does a whole lot for GR at this point, needed that W. Totally agree! Typical Rapids team. Seem very con...

Rapids doing a good job thru 2 to keep CEC's top line contained. Sheppard seeing a lot of shots but making big saves. Peterson with both of GR's goals. Only 1 penalty for each team.

GR up 2-1 after 2.

Should be a good 3rd period!

So after East disposes of Edina does that make Edina the most overrated team in the state?

7AA is deep with solid teams, not elite teams.

GR takes down Elk River 3-2 in OT. Peterson with the game winner short handed. Rapids is doing a nice job of digging themselves an opening period hole and climbing out of it. However I don't think you can keep playing like that and expect to go far. They do keep getting better as the game goes on th...

I was shocked to see how many open seats there were, pretty pathetic. Maybe Edina/EP will draw a few more.

Ends in a 4-4 tie. Rapids battled back in the third to tie after being down 4-2. Capitalized on a 5-3 and a 5 min major after a nasty cheap elbow shot to the head of D man Simonson. I am not pleased with the outcome but am ok with it, better than a loss but certainly not a W. Our D men just looked l...

Rapids finishes strong in the 2nd and 3rd periods, wins 5-2. I believe shots were 39-22 Rapids. Avery Peterson continues to shine with great puck handling and creating scoring chances. The top line is clicking well right now. Defense is doing a good job of keeping shooters to the outside and blockin...

I was at the game. Rapids definitely had an edge throughout the whole game, except for taking a couple too many penalties. Did a good job of getting the puck into the Roseau end and getting a lot of shots off. Rapids held a high energy level throughout most of the game but had a bit of a lapse when ...
