There are already rumblings around ISD-194 (Lakeville school district) that they will be seriously considering opening a third high school around 2016 - that is, 2016 is when they would start to discuss opening a 3rd, not actually opening one in 2016. There are new developments all over the place an...

I think it comes down to EPs discipline. They are incredibly talented but tend to run around a little bit sometimes in the D zone. If they do that and North can establish that forecheck of theirs, it might not be close again. I don't want to see a blowout though so I'll say 4-2 North.

For those that had never seen North play this year, today's game was pretty typical in a lot of aspects. They controlled play in the O zone for more of the game and cycled the puck very well. Roseau's chances were on the break and from their top line. Usually North has a goal burst at some point in ...

The North jerseys are nice...until you see the logo...

Are you saying Edina will be 1 because thats what you think WILL happen or SHOULD happen? Edina split with Hill, whom North beat 3-0, they lost to Burnsville whom North beat twice. I'm not arguing for North being #1 but I think those 3 are so equal it is tough to differentiate them. I do believe Edi...

6-0 North, goal by Altavilla, McNeely and Klotz assists. Under 2 to play. What seed will North get now?

Oooh, nasty slashing penalty by Farmington gives North a 5min PP. Uh oh.

End of 2. North dominating not because they have a few elite players but because they have 3 lines worth of very good passers/puck possessors and make it very difficult for inferior teams to keep up with them when they are playing well. All those who were predicting 7-1ish scores…go ahead and pat yo...

4-0 McNeely from Johnson on the PP. Woah now 5-0 before I even finish typing. 5th goal from Enebak.

2-0, nope 3-0 North. First one was Altavilla from Ryan Poehling, second was either Altavilla or Hazlett unassisted.

1-0 North. Hazlett from McNeely and Johnson.

Anyone who has seen both teams play this year knows North is simply better. I wouldnt be surprised to see a close first pariod, especially if North is a little nervous. In the end, North's talent and depth is way too much for Farmington to overcome and by the end I think they win by 4ish+

The impressive thing for me about North tonight was the fact that East tried, and was successful at being physical and beating the Panthers down a little bit. I wasn't sure if North would be able to play the lower scoring, grind it out style of play but they impressed me tonight. Never easy for any ...

The thing that really separates MN HS hockey and hockey in any other area/state is the [i]quality[/i] depth that MN has. It's much like Canada's Olympic teams - yes, many of the other countries can compete with them in terms of top talent (USA, Russia, Sweden) but Canada's depth is what makes them t...

I think it is really exciting to see 7 of the 8 sections having team(s) in the top 11. It should make for some exciting section games but also could provide one of the most even state tournaments in a while.

It doesn't help either that administrations have cracked down on student sections either. Edina banned sieving. LN had a student suspended for starting "seasons over" during sections. Some of these are just ridiculous.

I couldn't agree more. Of course everyone would like to see the best teams in the state duke it out but if the system was changed the number of kids transfering, moving, or choosing private schools would sky-rocket. Kids would move to a school where they think they would have a legit shot at making ...

I bet he really gets his Ponies revved up during his pregame speeches.

It would probably be the riskiest play you can make. But hey, you never know what can happen. Lakeville North could even win.

I'm cheering for all the teams that dont charge students tuition.

I hate the .5's. It takes the push out of play. I love the push.

CAN he? Yes. WILL he? Maybe...
