Re: Greatest State Championship Game Ever

Edina over GR in double OT 5-4 in 1978. Long time ago but it was a great game.

GR over Hill Murray 2-1 in 1980 was another one.

Lots of great games since. As an old timer I had to throw those two out there.

Re: New A/AA Sections for 2027-28 & 28-29 Season Dates

I would welcome that actually. The more good teams in 7AA the better. Hermantown in 7AA would be great also. Hibbing opting back up would make that a real powerhouse like the old days. GR, DE, Hermantown, Hibbing, Andover, FL, Marshall,RR Play each team twice is 14 games. Would make the season prett...

1 more thing. Not all of today’s 2nd place players did that. I remember those more than the ones who did.

Re: It's tourney time!

Ripping off your 2nd place medals is getting old. I’ve been watching hockey for over 50 years and I promise you that you aren’t too good for it. First time I saw it was Hermantown a few years back. I’m as bad a sore loser as there is. You don't look like competitors to me. You look like your parents...

Re: Tonka Moorhead

I didn’t care who won. I was bummed for 2 1/2 periods. The end of the 3rd and the OT’s more than made up for it.

Congrats to both teams for giving the fans that game.

Re: Tonka Moorhead

That penalty would be a little understandable in the last minute of a game down by 5 goals

Definitely not at the beginning of a 0-0 championship game

Re: It's tourney time!

Where are the "This seeding thing is joke! We need to stop doing this!" folks this year? Anyone? Anyone? Bueller? Agree. Having this game tonight used to happen on Thursday morning some years. I get the 1-8 game can be ugly at times but at least the chance for a ridiculous upset is there....

Quick shoutout before tonight’s big game Rapids loses a heart breaker to Rosemount in OT and then goes on to win their next two for the consolation 😎 Warroad downs Hibbing in an epic championship game Rosemount wins an OT thriller on Thursday and loses an OT thriller to the 1 seed Tonka and then tak...

Re: Tonka Moorhead

Today reminds me of years back on the board and I know what one guy is thinking today.

Slapshooter would say something like-

“Aint it great
Section 8

Really hoping to see a game like we just watched. They both have work to do to duplicate that game.

Re: Moorhead Edina

It’s interesting to me that I always felt Edina was the wealthy team that had all the advantages.

As I got older I view them as the team that still plays old school hockey. They just consistently do it better than everyone else.

Re: Tonka Rosemount

Congrats to Tonka. Helluva game. Rosemount did everything and more than most would have thought. They are a serious team.

I’ll be anxious to see the predictions for next year. 😂

They definitely missed the apocalypse assumption this year.

Re: Tonka Rosemount

It was a wild one. GR outshot them 46-16 but needed a Rajala goal with 59 seconds left to break a 2-2 tie. Gentry goalie was on fire. Ironically though, it was 1-1 in the 3rd and Rapids threw one in the zone from the redline and it hopped in off the goalies stick. Rapids radio guys felt bad for him....

Tonka Rosemount

Great start for Rosemount. I thought there was a possible hand pass at the net on that goal. Probably not, it wasn’t mentioned. Anyone else notice that?
