Country, Please describe how the recruiting occurred. You are entitled to your thoughts and opinions, but when you make bold statements it would be nice to see them backed up. My kid was the first of the bloomington kids to transfer. Immediately after her 9th grade season at KHS, I contacted the adm...

Isn't all that exactly what I said when starting this thread? :lol: Seriously, though, what a facinating read. I think it's clear that an extremely serious and regimented system is bound to produce excellence for those kids who can handle it. I'm not sure that our culture would support a similar sys...

Bjustad shooting is also a gimmick he talks about catching a pass without any give to your stick (stone hands as opposed to soft hands) which is wrong he also has the young kids shooting from the toe of the stick which is also wrong at that young age. When the athlete gets stronger he or she is abl...

When reading some of the recent threads such as NDP tryouts, spring tournaments, AAA teams, etc., the word development is used quite a bit. Most true development doesn't take over a weekend, or week-long events or even during a spring or summer league. Skill development takes place only after proper...

[quote="eastsidehockey"]as far as stating that ralph and i played the game (as i am sure almost everyone here has) the point was the unintentional hits or acts merit MAJORS as if they were intentional. No difference what so ever. How about reading before making judgements offsides. eastsid...

You guys are making this way more complicated. First, of course unintentional acts can be penalties. That's a no brainer and doesn't need any debate. Keep making it a major point in your arguments. Second, before a checking from behind or a boarding call can be made, there must be a check. There's b...

I can use caps lock, bold, italics and underline if I need to.

Amen, brother (sister), amen

#21 for Eden Prairie should be disqualified from taking part in her first game of the spring (if not more) if she plays a spring sport. I realize that she is a senior, but this would be one way to punish her. Checking from behind is inexcuseable. Checking in girls' hockey is very dangerous as the g...

grghockeyfan, I'm terribly sorry your sister was hurt playing hockey. I hope she makes a complete recovery. I'm sure that it's hard to be objective when someone close to you is injured, but my God, it's way over the top to say the other player is a disgrace to the game. If we ran every player involv...

They put two goals in. Something that an AVERAGE team like BLAKE couldn't do in the section finals. :D One of Alex's goals was as soft as they come. That doesn't make it illegitimate, they deserved to win, they had more goals at the buzzer. It would, however, be nice to have an Alex fan acknowlege ...

There's presidence for this, I believe. McCready was All State HM and Goalie of the year. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

I suggest that before anyone crucifies the player or the officials, please go back and look at the replay. I have not seen it yet, but I know people who have. (I'm not talking about the one replay shown following the play, but one from a tape of the game). It has been described to me as more of a co...

The same thing occurred two years ago. An EP player who had two goals and two assists in the 6-1 game was also left off the all tourney team.

The team is picked long before the championship game is over. If you want to make that team, you had better have a good game or two early.

Congratulations to both teams. GRG has had a run of a few years with a group of talented players coming through at the right time and really made the best of it. They'll still be a nice team for the foreseeable future, too. Its too bad they peaked this year, when EP was loaded. EP had it all; multi...

MNHockeyFan,

Your magnanimousness (is that a word?) is refreshing. You ARE the caretaker of this board.

More from the Star Tribune: Roseau's adventure: http://www.startribune.com/sports/preps/15822897.html Just curious, but in the article it states that Roseaus team had the Student Manager dress as a goalie because they need to have 2 dressed for the game. But if she is not on the Roster can she even...

Please... Do you really honestly believe that there are only 18 great, good or deserving players in the metro? They picked three "teams" it is pretty obvious someone will get left out. I can't argue that the ones they named aren't deserving though either. Although I know many of you can. ...

Actually, that line scored 2 goals against Breck. Gopher9 is the most arrogant poster on this forum. Hands down. EP fan, I would expect nothing less..... How many goals did Breck have against Alex.. 0!!!!!!! ya, shut it. So GOCARDS1, You're pissed at one EP fan so you paint with a broad brush. On t...

Hey BOB,

There are 3300 students at EP. 40 walked out in protest. That's 0.012 percent. Hardly "the students up and left today." It As XK1 mentioned earlier, it would be best if facts are checked before posting on this subject.

i think now that Eden Praire will be missing a few girls chaska has quite a good chance of beating them this weekend rmmaiv123, Are you kidding? The avg. score for the last 7 EP/Chaska games is something like 7 to 0.5 goals. So EP may be missing a few kids. What makes you think the gap has been clo...

Kennedy 1
Kennedy led after one period. EP scored 4 in the second and one in the third.

Defensedad left out one rather important stat. The shots on goal were 73-3. The Kennedy goalie was nothing short of phenomenal.

If you look at the AA QRF rankings on Minnesota-scores.net you will see that 11 of the top 25 teams are either Privates, Coop's, so called "Area teams", or teams that are known for large numbers of recent transfers. That's 44% of the top 25. Teams ranked #26 -#70 have only 11 out of 44 of...

Very good predictions; I generally agree although I favor Burnsville ahead of Eastview, LVS who has better balance ahead of LVN, and Jefferson to move ahead of Chaska unless they can shore up their goaltending. So far Burnsville has not put things together and are falling behind. Apple Valley and E...
