BIG win for the toppers tonight. Isaacson didn't do anything out there. If STA wants to win a game this year they'll need to get a better goalie, D, and forwards.

hats off to the toppers.

Not sure what game you were watching puckman. St Thomas will be just fine.

Puckman, thats not what it sounded like on the radio... The announcer, who was pathetic sure made it sound like he was all over the ice.
Marshall was without Mausoff who is their catalyst on offense.

I wouldn't get too cocky here puckman...Marshall seemed to be stuggling and some of that may be due to Mausolf being out but they need some younger players to step up to provide solid depth. Does anyone know why Mausolf was out today though?

Marshall showed they can play with the big boys though after a loss to Breck last saturday...hopefully they can continue to build on today's win to carry them through the season.

Hats of to the Marshall School of Duluth Toppers they played well the first two periods and played alot of the third period short handed, I think like 8 minutes at least!! they still managed to win the game without thier obvious best player in MAUSOLF, and it looks like they are indeed the favorite to win 7a again, I cant see any other team beating them !

go TOPPERS!

Two years ago these two started their season off playing at Mars. Marshall scored three goals in about five minutes to start the game, then St Thomas dominated the rest of the game and the game ended in a 4-4 tie. I told how that game went after watching it and I was told how sore I was or something like that, so I don't expect this to be any different, so there's no real point in posting about it.

Basically, St Thomas outshot Marshall close to 50-20 and if these two meet again in March the outcome will most definitely be very different.

TAYLORfor2 · Post by **TAYLORfor2** » Sat Dec 06, 2008 9:40 pm

the shots were 39-20 and that was accurate, it was alot closer game then the shots showed i think your just upset your st. thomas team is getting worse and not better, marshall won thats all that matters in the end.. marshall outshot breck by 10 or so and lost 5-1 which shows shots dont tell the story of a game.

No, "all that matters" in the end will be who wins state. As last season proved, winning the regular season game didn't matter much. Did it?

And your prediction of the score beforehand was one of the worst I've seen in awhile. Attaway.

Ha ha.. if I've learned anything about watching these two teams play against each other.. it's that the regular season matchup does not matter. Dec. 6th...Beginning of the season for both teams, and if they meet again it will be in March a complete 4 months later. Shots do matter, but 39 shots with 1 goal isnt that good of a ratio. I would expect a completely different game if and when these two teams meet again this season.

HShockeywatcher · Post by **HShockeywatcher** » Sat Dec 06, 2008 10:24 pm

And that was accurate? Says who? The shot thing has someone pushing a button. I counted multiple times they shot and it wasn't counted. You're right, shots don't say a lot about the game for sure. The thing that would (which would be impossible in high school hockey) would be a measure of how long the puck was on each end. If you would've done that tonight, it would've shown just what the shots does.

I'm not some guy that's making stuff up because of what team is playing. I like hockey, I went to a game this afternoon and I was reporting how it went. You're right, the current st thomas team is not quite as good as the one that one state last year. They are missing 5 senior defensemen and their top line from last year. They are a solid team who can pass the puck very well led by a top playing in Christian Isaacson who played very well tonight.

Good luck to both teams. Should be a fun season to watch them progress.

and the Two losses came in the state championship game... you know when it actually matters? nice try though.

Paul played phenomenally today. He was the main reason Marshall won. St Thomas hit a couple pipes and had some good sustained pressure at a few points throughout the game. They could have easily won. That being said, Marshall got it done on the scoreboard and played pretty well overall. Fun game to watch.

freakforhockey · Post by **freakforhockey** » Sun Dec 07, 2008 8:03 am

I like Paul, but I wouldn't say he had a phenomenal game. He had a good game, to be sure, but STA missed more than a half dozen open net opportunities and the Marshall defense picked up rebounds whenever he was in trouble. This was a game of scrambles in front of the net and Marshall got the better of the bounces.

Overrated? hmmm.. it doesnt look like you know what your talking about.
2-1 toppers over sta, maybe you should know things before you say it.

rinkratman · Post by **rinkratman** » Sun Dec 07, 2008 7:04 pm

Mausolf is Marshall's best player. They beat st thomas without him, and that just shows Marshall possible has what it takes. I heared that Mausolf didnt play that much of the Breck game either, which could have been why they lost to them. I just heard that Mausolf was having some personal problems, which i also hear are better(not sure what exaclty it was). So after seeing him play in the LCS jamboree, he's going to come back strong and do some damage.

its not like st.thomas is getting worse. you could even sat sta is getting better cause last yr during the regular season marshal won 7 2. sta always has a young team and a reason they often do so well in the show is cause they have good coaching and throughout the year the team grows so much. well se wat happens in march. o and by the way marshall had a whole one shot in the third period... and about 5 in the secon- sta took one period off and they lost- i dont think theyll take any periods off in state

rinkratman · Post by **rinkratman** » Sun Dec 07, 2008 10:36 pm

its early in the seaon to even talk about march. willie paul is sending a message that he is willing to do what it takes to get a W and the team will see that and help him out with more offensive play.

ATTAWAY Lee, learn some proper english!

If state championships is "all that matters" why don't they just have a single elimination tournament and no regular season games?

I think that "all that matters" is that you go back to East and actually get an education. Hurry up before they combine the schools together and then finally the public Duluth Team will make it to state and you will be able to see it from the student section (something you weren't in as a high schooler because you were probably sitting on your "partners" thumb the whole game in the nosebleeds. All of your friends still living in their mom's houses can join you for a party afterward too. Then you can go ahead and bash on the private Marshall fans again because "your" team is better again but I don't think that will happen because you haven't left your mom's basement in ten years.

This board is like a communist country, those who speak out against the rulers will be banned. As George Santayana said, "Those who cannot learn from history are doomed to repeat it." Reminds me of your idea of this "message board" Lee

PEACE OUT Y'ALL! (i will most likely be banned after this post for speaking the truth and bashing on the idiot Lee)

yeah they would be beat alot,they wouldn;t get state chips thats for sure,they're to cocky and they play A they wouldn't stomp all over teams in AA like they do in AA at the end of the season,its a good thing marshall beat them this year already

hockeyhair15 · Post by **hockeyhair15** » Mon Dec 08, 2008 7:33 pm

wow cities hockey wow

anyhoo, sta will probably move up to AA because most of their other teams play in a high class, so the hockey team will probably follow suit, they play a bunch of good AA teams already so they could without a doubt be competitive at that level. marshall will not move up because they are one of the smallest schools in the state, and do not have a solid feeder system.
