Walker (0-15) vs. Mora

YES: It Can Happen
We play Mora next saturday.
So what you're saying is that you didn't lose on Friday?!?!

YES: It Can Happen!!!

Wow, witty. I suppose what I said could be interpreted that way, but that is now how it was meant.

You won't be watching hockey in a new arena next Christmas or the one after either. The $12.88 million project still needs to secure the money. I don't know most of the details but I guess the city is going to the state for some help. Also, there is talk about a 1/2 cent city tax or something that the city would need to approve in a vote. If the money came through from the state there's a possibility some construction could begin this year.

Edina actually being better than the undefeated Rams

Warroad's tradition a myth

Jesus had a sweet tooth

Lots of 'myths' being discussed today, well my friends this thread can be a sanctuary, because around here, we only discuss fact. The fact is YES: It Can Happen.

So who we got looking to make it happen tonight?

LOW #111 vs. Warroad #25, I really need Warroad to win in running time
Walker (0-15) vs. Northern Lakes

YES: It Can Happen

It was the 2006 State Tournament. A little Cathoilc school opting up to play the big boys hadn't been to state in 20 years.

Could it happen? Oh, absoboofinlutley it could.

YES: It Can Happen and here is the proof:

Big thanks to packerboy for that "Great Moment" in YES: It Can Happen History. Had I not been told it was poor witto Queetin in the purple and gold scoring all those goals I would have thought it was the witto ol Egos from Eas Gwan Fokes Saquid Hut, they wore purple and gold too you know. Well anyhow, it was great moment and yet more evidence that YES: It Can Happen.

Geez... That's a hell of a dig. Let's not get carried away!

No Govs this is serious business and we don’t get carried away in this thread. YES: It Can Happen. It can happen to you, it can happen to me, it will happen eventually because that’s what the song says.

Nowadays, everybody goes looking for answers. They go to sporting goods stores looking for the lightest composite stick, they go to camps or elite things in search of that intangible that can put them over the top, they go looking for the coaches who have won before, they go to trainers with fancy inclined treadmills that you can wear your skates on. Some even turn to faith, but any God I know worth worshiping, doesn’t care whether Pine City or Circuit City wins a state high school hockey championship. The answers we all seek in this thread are right there in the mirror, it has nothing to do with tradition and it has nothing to do with one’s perceived birth right to hoist a section title.

YES: It Can Happen

It Can Happen to You

It Can Happen to Me

It will happen eventually

BECAUSE THAT’S WHAT THE SONG SAYS!

It Can Happen to LeCroy.

It Can Happen eventually.

WOW!!! That post made it much easier to deal with these 7th and 8th grade misfits today. Thanks Shanty for the inspiration. (P.S. if all else fails the girls B-ball team is on top around your neck of the woods)

High School Hockey is a game in which YES:It Can Happen

There is no best of 7.

Its one game. Loser goes home, winner goes on.

Two men enter, one man leaves.

Its a hot goalie. Its a bounce of the puck.

Its a goal scorer getting hot.

This is why YES: IT Can Happen

greatone...7th/8th grade misfits,

sounds like a jr. high music teacher to me. Educators, you have to admire them, they make make it happen every darn day in the toughest of circumstances.

Keep after those misfitis, as you are on the frontlines fighting the cycle of mediocrity everyday.

YES: It Can Happen

Each branch of the military has an elite group of fighters that are sent in first to address the most difficult of situations. The odds against them are high but their work is crucial to the lucky ones who follow their lead. The Navy has the Seals, the Army has the 101st Airborne. In the tournament world, you have the #8 seed. It takes a unique competitor to embrace the mission they are assigned so the selection of who comes aboard is critical. When the seeding is done a Fleet of 16 #8's shall set sail together to make it happen.

The Fleet of #8's, Individually we fight, united we stand.

Because..

YES: It Can Happen
