Can anyone confirm that Raymond stopped 64 shots today? If so, that's insane.

You're just mad because I thought you were losing it in the other thread. You should be happy about his performance, sure makes your redwood squad look pretty good having put up a 7 spot against him.GoldyGopher wrote:Whatever you say, Branch.Kinda_Normal_Tendy wrote:I can confirm that new ulm did come out on top today in Virginia and that Raymond played very well making it look easy in his shutout today but I really don't think Virginia had 64 shots.

Alrighty. This thread has been as exciting this year as I imagine it would be to sit with Whiner at a bar all night. That being said...
Who do you like in the second half? Not good holiday tournaments/games for Redwood and LDC. New Ulm did okay but lost their first game back to LSH/SP/TCU. Luverne lost to TG tied Mankato East who has some good wins/ties this year.
New Ulm and Luverne tonight in Luverne's barn. I think I'd have to assume that Luverne steam rolls New Ulm tonight and they are the most likely to pull away in the run for the 3A berth the the X.

I would like to say Luverne would run away with 3A but that won't happen. Luverne is having trouble putting the puck in the net. I figured this would be a issue after losing Smedsrud and Nelson.GoldyGopher wrote:Alrighty. This thread has been as exciting this year as I imagine it would be to sit with Whiner at a bar all night.

Tonight should be a interesting game and give us a better idea of this section might end up. In the preseason scrimmage New Ulm left the ice. I expect a very physical game. Hoping the Luverne squad just plays the game and stays out of the box.

He was in attendance. Luverne did dominate most of the game. At one point in the second period NU was floating a wing so the Luverne defense couldn't hold the zone. Some bad mistakes led to the NU goals and they finished with a empty netter. Pretty tame game. That was surprising. Luverne needs to find some scorers. It will be a long night tomorrow as they play SPA in a makeup game.GoldyGopher wrote:Lol shows what I know. 3-1 now?? Just another random night in section 3A.

Not how I saw the game going. Good for the Eagles and bad for Whiner, who may I add has all of the sudden gone MIA again.CherryPicker99 wrote:He was in attendance.

With that being said, what kind of quality shots were the 42 SOG Luverne had?

Luverne had several real good chances. They hit 3 pipes and got shut down on 3 breakaways. On the 3 breakaways not one Luverne player attempted to move Raymond. Tried picking corners which obviously didn't work.GoldyGopher wrote:Not how I saw the game going.

If Luverne put up that many shots and had one goal to show for it, then I would question the shot quality as well. Having a breakaway doesn't translate necessarily into a quality shot. New Ulm goalie that tough? What about what was going on in the other end of the ice? 4 goals on 20 shots? Luck? Good sniping? Poor defense? Luverne should walk through this section but I think we have heard that before......

The NU goalie has been impressive in a few of his last outings. Against Hibbing, Greenway and Luverne he has faced 138 shots and has only given up 8.hawkenjonny wrote:If Luverne put up that many shots and had one goal to show for it, then I would question the shot quality as well.

NU scored a shorty at the beginning of the 2nd period off a face off in their offensive zone. Center tipped it past the Luverne center and walked right around him to score. Luverne center didn't even attempt to tie him up.
NU scored again on a bad defensive play. Ill advised pinch by a Luverne defender sends NU in on a breakaway.
NU third goal was the result of bad defense on a 2 on 1. It bothers me when a defender doesn't step up on shooter on a 2 on 1. Make the puck carrier make a play. Don't give him a free shot. Especially in this instance when Luverne has a back checker coming to help.
NU fourth goal was a empty netter.
Luverne had several high quality chances but need more traffic and presence in front of the net. They need to start putting away rebounds and getting screens. Once they stop trying to dangle everyone and just go to the net hard I think they'll see more pucks start going in.

Sort of what I figured. Defensive issues can be a killer. As a former D guy I will say that many (not all) coaches (maybe more old school) have the D communicate with the goalie on the 2-1 situations and let him make the call. If goalie has shooter then D takes the pass and DOES NOT fully engage the shooter. I realize this is situational like if anyone is coming back to help and also dependent on if the two offensive players are skating even or one trailing. Just sayin.

I'll agree totally with the goalie play. He's had some excellent games. When I saw him play Redwood his glove was tardy and was caught out of place at times. NU was missing a D man against LSH/SP/TCU I believe that exposed him at times. So definitely some growing pains there between his age and D play at times.CherryPicker99 wrote:The NU goalie has been impressive in a few of his last outings.

Should be a solid position Neuman doesn't have to worry about for a few years.

Yep I agree. That's why I said all things considered. Should be plenty for the coach to talk about in practice and work on. Although the games didn't go as planned it's probably going to help the team in the long run. Now as cherry picker said... if they could only find some scoring.goldy313 wrote:Not making any excuses for Luverne but this was their 3rd game in 4 days and 7th game in the last 12 days.

If they are ever going to find some scoring it's going to be the next 2 games. Just what the doctor ordered before matchup at Redwood.Whiner33 wrote:No.formersection3Afan wrote:Whiner can Luverne right the ship ?
Perhaps run some old systems that worked admirably?
Never had a system.
