A state seeding

[GinosAreGood]

1. Warroad- beat Marshall
2. Little Falls
3. SCC
4. Marshall-should have lost to Hibbing and got smoked by I. Falls

I always wondered why you bashed southern MN hockey. Reading this post you obviously are a kid from Little Falls. this is starting to make sense. here I thought you were a knowledgable hockey analyzer, when really you are a biased teenager who lives in Little Falls. It's ok, see if you can take the fan bus to the X and watch LF play the rest of the state so you can begin making objective comments.

I have a feeling he is not a teenager or from Little Falls.

But he is very biased toward the north.

i'm sure he's not, it was just a response to his childish comments. Chiming in on every so. minnesota thread, saying "2 and done at the show" get's kind of annoying after a while. Normally adults can handle themselves a little better

[GinosAreGood]

1-3 (in no particular order) will probably be DM, STA, and Warroad
4 could be SCC, LF, or MW.
Blake/ 3A really dont have a shot at a seed.
If i had to GUESS, i'd take probably SCC. Unfortunatly, other coaches won't give West or Falls credit with their schedules

Isn't that for good reason?

Yes it is. It's just that if you told me that there'd be two teams in the state tourney, with 2 losses and 3 losses, and they wouldn't even be seeded in the top 4 i'd be shocked. I just think West and LF are good enough to be a 4 seed, but their schedules will hurt them, which as you said, is for good reason

I am picturing BIAFP as a fat slob "never has been" creepy guy that goes to out door rinks and schools 5th graders and talks about how great he is. I bet he kind of looks like the comic book store worker from the Simpsons.

That might be crossing the line.

But in his defense, what is wrong with schooling 5th graders and talking about how great you are?

EDIT
Spelling

[slapnasty]

1. DM
2. STA
3. Warroad
4. SCC

Not looking very impressed with the class A tournament, AA looks to be great tho!!

You crack me up! Reminds me of a b-ball ESPN commercial a few years ago

[Warroad97]

1:STA
2:Warroad
3:DM
4:SCC
I would say this seems right with Warroad beating Duluth however it wouldnt surprise me to see it with DM 2 and Warroad 3 Either way it should be alot of fun

[7A22A]

1. Marshall
2. St. Thomas
3. Warroad
4. SCC

If i were to pick 4-8

5. Little Falls
6. Blake
7. Mankato West
8. 3A

This looks pretty accurate. 6 and 7 could be switched.

[defense]

Only that doesn't make a difference............Little Falls better make some noise this year.......

[SB24]

Don't worry, Goldy and BIAFP aren't the only ones bashing So. MN hockey. The rest of the board is just sitting back rolling their eyes. West will not get a seed.

When have I ever bashed southern MN hockey. I like southern MN hockey but SCC is a better team and should be ranked higher.

[SB24]

alright, my apologies- guess i read a little too much into your "wager."

[FlyerFan12]

1.DM
2.STA
3.SCC
4.Warroad
and if you seed the rest
5.LF
6.West
7.Blake
8.Litchfield
Warroad, LF or possibly SCC may switch a bit but I think the top 2 are set

Century went in to the AA tournamnet with 5 losses and didn't get seeded. Blaine did with 6 losses, HM did with 4 even though Century played a tougher schedule. West is from south of the cities, they're a public school, they won't get seeded. It may not be fair but that's life. Their best hope is that they don't draw Marshall or St. Thomas because even if they lose a close one to them it won't be wow West is good, it will be wow the other team played like crap.

i gotta go with DM, us (STA), Warroad, SCC. DM gets #1 seed for slaughtering us, but due to how close we played hill i bet we get 2 over warroad. man the brigade will be pissed if we get the 3 seed, we dont want any school.

[HShockeywatcher]

In a bracket where you play all games on neutral ice the #2 and #3 are the same aside from the color of jersey you wear when you play together. So I'd personally be fine with the #3 seed, as I like the away jerseys better.

That being said, unless you think West will be given credit for their weak schedule and blowing a few key games, STA, DM, Warroad and SCC will be the top seeds. Sure SCC had a few down games, but so did other teams, they also slaughtered LF.

Pretty sure that puts SCC at 4. So, of the remaining 3 they could all be legitimately put in any order. So, the real question is: of those 3, who is the #1 seed?

[pondyplayer93]

Here it is


11am
#2 Duluth Marshall
Mankato West


1pm
#3 Warroad
Litchfield

6pm
#1 St. Thomas
Little Falls

8pm
#4 St. Cloud Cathedral
Blake

[HShockeywatcher]

I love it.
All top seeds win first round.
STA and Warroad win second round.
STA wins it all.

Just my two cents.

SCC did anything but slaughter LF, all in all it was a horrible game by LF and the score was only 3-1

SCC didnt look great either. Yes i agree not a good game played by either team. but defintely not a slaughter

You are an idiot. A 3-1 game is a "slaughter"? Were you in attendance at this "slaughter"? What is an 8-2 game then?

[Goldy Gopher]

I think I need to respond to someone saying Blake would get a top 4 seed above Mankato West.

West 7 Owatonna 0
Owatonna 7 Blake 4
West 3 Lourdes 1 - Lourdes 4 West 3
Lourdes 9 Blake 6

No question West would get a higher seed than Blake.

I would like to know what ER Empire thinks of West since I saw he was planning on attending the game last night. Maybe he can talk some sense into our resident southern Minnesota hockey basher BIAFP.

West should get the #4 seed and I believe they will get it. Sorry LF/SCC fans, but the bad losses on your below average schedule will speak loudly.

The day West gets the 4 seed over Cathedral is the day I stop posting on here.

Goldy....I thought you had alot of good thoughts to add to this "bored"...oh well, nice knowing you....maybe you can check back next year under a different name.[

Nice knowing you Goldy, see ya!!

You will be held to that promise....

[defense]

DuLuth Marshall is going to have to play hard northern hockey to win their game against Mankato West,
St. Thomas Academy better know what they're dealing with against the quick strike Little Falls team,
St. Cloud Cathedral and Blake should make a decent game,
Warroad is about the only team that is a sure bet to win against Litchfield, though it is the State Tournement so who knows..........
Second Round: championship bracket,
Mankato West v Warroad
Little Falls v St. Cloud Cathedral
Championship:
Little Falls v Warroad
I've went out on a limb so far so:
Champ: Little Falls
