I'm sure anyone reading this from Stillwater is really impressed with Flyer. Glad he thinks he's such a funny guy.
Thank you "The puck stops here". I am just having fun.
I think some of you need to relax. These are just squirts and it doesn't really matter whether they are 18-2 or 2-18. The best part of a chat line like this is you can make outrageous claims about how great your team is compared to everyone else. It is all in fun.
Would you rather have a boring mundane "well both teams played hard today and it could have gone either way" or would you rather have a lively discussion and smart ass remarks.
For me I would rather it be lively. I can be boring if you want.
Sorry if I offended anyone.
I love the newbie's that are on here with their squirts this year.
Read your rule book, the game limit is for all games prior to any year end district tourney games. As not all districts have them and they all vary in length depending upon how many participants and league size.

Any more scores to post?[/quote
actually I'm pretty sure the year end district tourney counts a total of two games on your total games played.

Are you sure the limit is for games prior to districts? Here is the text from the rule book. It doesn't mention anything about district tournaments.
Limit games (league/ tournament/exhibition games) to a maximum of 35 per season. Each game played in a tournament shall be counted as one game. Controlled scrimmages count toward the total of 35, but must meet the definition of a controlled scrimmage as outlined in the paragraph in the Playing Rules section entitled "Exhibition Games and Controlled Scrimmages."
HAHA Back track back track cover your tracks. Too bad it's not EZ to do here, oops. Yes ALL GAMES COUNT. Some coaches want only 2 district playoff games to count and that is how they squeeze out a couple extra. I am sure the boys.....and Ladies on the D2 board will toast to the Stillwater A squirt team at the next open bar meeting.

Yes, I would like to post a score.
Tuesday, Stillwater squeeked by North St. Paul 8-2. Both teams played hard and it could have gone either way.
By the way, that flyer79 guy is over the top. Someone has to stop him.

Unfortunately its hard to tell what is tongue in cheek from the typed word without Emoticons and also, unfortunately, there are to many who post like that without tongue in cheek. Now that we know(?) your posting this tongue in cheek its easier to take and carry on the smart *ss remarks ... I also enjoy them.

I would put our kids up against any squirt team. 18-2-1 and outskated each of the teams in the games lost or tied (including Elk River).
I'm just enjoying an already enjoyable season.
Why so sarcastic offside14?
18-2-1 = 21 games IMPRESSIVE RECORD BY THE WAY
Duluth Potman = 3 games
Remaining D2 league games = 10
Remaining D2 Tourney games = 3
37 games! 2 over the 35 game limit. $500 per game fine Plus coach suspension.
ANYONE AT D2 LISTENING? Might get new Jackets out of this one.
I bet your teams coach is glad you are bringing light to this rule violation.
Ok I am sorry I misrepresented facts in the previous post. You were right, probably was not right for me to call them out for scheduling too many games. However since a 10-11 year old goalie can be called out for having a bad game so too can youth hockey coaches and managers.
I missed a "few" more games/scrimmages that Stillwater had listed on their calendar but not on their game schedule. They played an additional 4 scrimmages in October and November, 41 games. The D2 open bar might well turn into a dinner buffet as well.
From information I gathered from the Stillwater Squirt A website:
Tourney Games (some listed on calendar, some suspiciously missing) 5 - North Metro Pirate Classic 5 - Edina Invite 4 - Rochester 3 - Duluth Portman (yet to be played) 3 - D2 Playoffs (yet to be played)
3 - Scrimmages (Listed on their calendar)
17 - D2 Games (Listed on their calendar, 10 yet to be played)
?? - Other scrimmages not listed (more than likely - not too hard to find out)
Grand total = 40+
Anyone on the D2 board watching?!?!?! What is that, $500 fine per game?
Centennial is a very underrated team. They Played Bloomington Jefferson to a 4-4 tie loss in a shout out 5 skaters deep
Played EP to a 3-3 tie
Beat Elk River at their home rink 4-1
I think there are alot of really GOOD Squirt A Teams that are Equal! There is not a 123.....

I completely agree. But a tie/loss in a shoot out is still a Loss someone might want to fix that on your team website.....or it will just look like you are mathematically challenged.
usually not a smiley face guy but I was notified that without smiley faces i would be taken seriously.....
oh cause I thought we were in a squirt thread not a Mn HIGH SCHOOL thread. If someone moves on in the bracket and someone goes to the losing side of the bracket.....SOMEONE LOST.
A shootout is a quick way to reach a conclusion to a game, so the rest of the tournament games do not get behind. I forgot that all you care about is winning or losing. Tell a 10yr old goalie he is a loser after his team doesn't win the shootout. The game ended in a tie and a shootout was needed to determine who advances so ice times can stay on time for the rest.
haha or so the parents/coaches can say they stayed undefeated longer? Whatever, I would rather tell my 10 year old that he went in and shelved one to beat the goalie to WIN the game which also propelled the team INTO the championship, not into the losing side of a bracket. fortunately for every sad kid/parent there is a happy kid/parent.
I am sure some one actually did enjoy those feelings following the last shot in the shoot out. Did the kids feel like they lost? or did they just feel like they were not going to be late for the post game snack in the locker room.
What a stupid argument. Time? really? In this case T = L.

Nice call keep skating, nice to see some one stand up for the goalies. Always seems to be the same old theme they are heroes if they win, but look out if you dont.

Question.....If you WON the shootout would it be listed as a WIN on the website? Also had you WON the shootout and you went on to WIN the championship would you put an asterisk next to the title citing a TIEand that you actually did not WIN in the semi round? THOUGHT NOT.
and we probably would not be exchanging about some poor 10 year old (who I am sure tried his best) letting a goal in either.

Looks like they'll get a chance to prove how good they are in Moorhead, pretty strong field, maybe even a re-match with Elk River. Still think STMA, Elk River and Jefferson are the top of the pile for now but this weekend will sort a few more things out. Best of luck maybe they'll change my mind.

Our association does the same as far as shootout and overtime all are considered ties win or lose. Don't think website stats affect the kids at all as far as win/loss, more what the result was at the time be it a trip to the ship or the 3rd place game

"8 is enough" - 1st post, welcome. Are you sure your not J&J, sorry inside joke. I have to agree with you there is no clear top 3 or even top 5, no dominate squirt team this year that's virtually unbeatable.
Two Great Tourneys this weekend:
Bloomington - Look for EP, Wayzata, Jefferson & OMG to fight for hardware
Moorhead - Look for Minnetonka, Centennial, ER & Bernie's Prodigy's to fight for hardware
since were such good buds now feel free to call me J&J (inside joke between me and my fans on this board)
