After that disaster at Gene Aldrich Arena yesterday, I'd say Hill is putting pressure on Hill more so than Stillwater is. I had to apologize to my grandson for taking him to see that game. After both intermissions STA was ready to get on the ice well before the appointed time. And why not? They were...

Apparently Hill was sponsored by the United States Postal Service today because they mailed it in. Ish.

7 of the top 10 Class A teams are from outside the metro. Can we do the opposite of what you suggest for Class A? One combined metro section and 7 outstate sections? 8) Speaking about the 'top ten class A teams' is pretty weak tea. I say that because it's been discussed frequently how the class A t...

We would have had a different champion in AA many times in the last 30 years if we had 1 class. No doubt about it. Warroad and Hermantown would have depleted a few AA trophy cases alone. So your point is………..? 7AA is now as weak as 1AA without Andover and the other metro teams the MSHSL has shipped...

Also, 7A is far superior to 7AA this year. Can they flip come playoffs so we have a good team out of northeast MN playing in the 7AA state tourney this year? Rapids is 14-3 on Thursday night in St. Paul. 10-4 on Friday night. 4-6 on Saturday night. I’m all ears. Some of those games were on Thursday...

How do you put WBL lower than Rogers when WBL beat Rogers? What is this, the College Football Playoff? You lose points automatically if your conference has never won a championship. So let's see, how many state titles does the SEC have? Any one? Any one? Bueller? Cretin-Derham Hall won state in 200...

Hill 1 Rogers 0 Final. I really can't put my finger on this Hill team through 4 games. The concerning: there's been a bit of a power outage on offense the last 3 games. The promising: the D seems locked in and Hanggi is looking good. The good: they don't have a loss. The bad: I haven't felt like an...

It has been a pretty fast start to the season. No one is easing into the season by warming up against 2 or 3 bottom dwellers. White Bear is definitely the big surprise on the up side. I need more than one good win from Stillwater to speak similarly of them. One of the nice features of this weekly p...

Come late February, Hill couldn't look past White Bear if they were 10-12-2. It's the only game they really care about all season, it's their Super Bowl, World Serious, and Stanley Cup Final all rolled into one. For Hill, the game is a means to an end. For WB it's what drives their season. Maybe tha...

The White Bear 3-1 win over Rogers escaped me. Coupled with the tie with Tonka, that's a nice start for the Bears. 3-0 until Baumgartner scored late in the 3rd.

Oof. Giving up 3 in the 3rd to EP is not a good look. When it's 6-1 early in the 3rd, get it to RT and lock it down.

Giving up 3 goals in one period was deadly last season.

11/25/25: St. Michael-Albertville at Alexandria is postponed, no word on a new date.

Courtesy my private school education, I can tell you that we have weather 24/7/365.

White Bear-Minnetonka game last night very entertaining last night. 2-2 OT tie. Very physical game with lots of clean hitting and goal mouth dust ups after the whistle. I thought the referees did a great job of keeping this one under control until the end when there were 2 fights resulting in game ...

Yeah I would agree, how Edina plays the two or three weeks is not very representative of how they will be this season. The Rogers score is much more significant, even given how early we are in the season. Edina players don't assume they will win the section, they know they're capable of it. Rogers p...

Maple Grove 4, Hornets 3, ot

O-ver RAT-ed!

Here's my cogent analysis of the situation: When we get down to brass tacks, what matters is who is playing hockey in March, so let's look at this from a section perspective. Moorhead, Hill, and Tonka are looking like solid bets to win their sections and be serious contenders. Edina/Rogers will like...

Oof, the 5:00 puck drop is prohibitive for us East Metro folks still of working age. But it does make it possible to see a double header, truncated barring running time.

Is there a free love stream from PIC?

What in the world is a "tendy"?

The MSHSL and Minnesota Hockey at this point should just come out and publicly admit that there are no eligibility rules based on where you live or where you played last year (or earlier this year). You can live wherever you want to now and play for whoever you want to. There are zero rules being f...

Is there a date that players have to be back to be eligible for the HS season? Yes. I forget what it is, but something like 5 weeks after the season starts, or something close to that. I recall a player from WBL missing the deadline a couple years ago and not getting to play his senior year. Five w...

YHH reporting Henry Sampair coming back to Mahtomedi for the season. Probably moves them up the rankings some. Well now for sure I'll be taking the over on the over/under for the number of Sampairs roster-ed at the Hill - Mahtomedi game. Actually, I always take the over, and I've won 98% of the time.

If I didn't know any better, I'd think the MSHSL was run by a bunch of public school administrators who have no experience with market discipline.
