Was there a bigger beauty then Sars?

He was quite the character, he and Randolph had a good relationship at the end.

Agreed.

Grand Rapids is a mess. I'm going with East based solely on Coach Randolph and the consistency he provides. GR goes through coaches like they grow on trees. But the have the talent to win state no matter how many games they loose. Wins/losses don't mean much as long S you have the talent to win State.

Three coaches in 17 years. Wouldn't say that's going through coaches like they grow on trees.

I will text Karl and he will post a link here...regardless, it should be a great game. My tweet, albeit "negative" was no more negative than their coaches, players, fans and critics have been the last couple weeks.

I love the talent on both sides and can't wait to see this game, no matter how they've performed so far.

They have Ethernet connections that have worked great for our local broadcast set-up. Just make sure you get that hooked up.

Might want to look into the use of Ether

Im talking about the last 2 coaches. I hope not, but I'm thing GR will be going thru several coaches over the next several years. It would be nice if Klatt worked out long term. Heck, I just read the expectations of that program on here, and I get stressed.

Rapids up 1-0 on East after 1st. Mattson on the power play. Pretty even period. Shots 6-6. I would say rapids had more chances and better of the play buy a slight margin. Rapids lines are also juggled. Mattson-Adams-Graber with Hain and Huson working the blue line to start.

No sight of McLaughlin.

2-0 Rapids after 2. I've only been watching since the middle of the 2nd. East was generating some decent chances near the end of the period and forced some big saves out of Holum, but it sounds like they were pretty flat before that.

I have been getting good quality stream in West Metro

Great third period. The vertical uplifted stick was definitely above the crossbar, but whether the point of stick/puck contact was above the crossbar is another matter. Really close, could only be determined by replay I think.

OT in rapids

These guys sure play some wild games.

Overrated/Overhyped team takes it in OT!

Post by **karl(east)** » Thu Jan 07, 2016 9:48 pm

Ah well. Pity. Hard to say you deserve to win when you only show up for one period.

Bottom line, this is a toss-up game if they meet again in sections. As expected. East is unlikely to get a high seed now, but not like there's a huge difference between 2 and 3. Will be interesting to see if Rapids can build off of this, and how East responds.

Don't get too excited there big boy. Your squad just dodged a bullet from a team that is only a few weeks removed from getting beat by Marshall. Regardless you are still gonna get them in 7AA semis. Good luck getting through them and ER in back to back games. Your boys lack the fortitude to string together 2 big wins in a row.

I agree Karl. That is as flat as I have ever seen an East team play in 15 years of competition. However when they did skate, holy cow what a game! HS hockey is amazing.

What is your PM?!

howardst · Post by **howardst** » Thu Jan 07, 2016 9:58 pm

On top of that you really dodged a bullet with the fact that the high stick was a questionable call that 50% would not be reversed. That would mean you lost in regulation. DJ dont be puffing your feathers just yet. Rapids has not proved they can play as a team and win anything yet

Good win for Rapids. Is this a turnaround or a one shot deal? The rest of their schedule could set them up for a strong finish. Wayzata and Holy Family (both at home) will provide them their best competition along with a game at Hibbing. The rest should be very winnable.

They could win state and nationals at the AAA level and you'd say the same thing. yawn. btw, Northwoods, what was your post before you edited it twice?

East
Rapids

Elks control their own destiny with the 6-2 win V Rapids even if they lose to East and Blaine. Hope East doesn't drop to the 4 seed.

DJ, I disagree with Stats. You should keep yucking it up and go celebrate and tell us how great the halloween machine is. It just makes for better entertainment in February when things come crashing to an end in the quarters or semis in 7AA. To the Ground Round you go for a wine cooler. Congratulations GR and DJ!
