They also had Labosky, Reno, and Moore. That would help...bigdaddydangler wrote:Edina is toast!! Lost to Minnetonka last night. District 6 heading to Regions are Apple Valley, Burnsville and Minnetonka!!
When is the last time Edina did not make it out of Districts!!
This team won the State Tournament as PeeWees 2 years ago!!

Most of the top teams lost quality kids to high schools!!
Wayzata, Lakeville South, Woodbury all lost top notch players.
Woodbury lost returning goalie, 2 returning defensemen. Wayzata lost Besse. Lakeville South lost Osterberg!
As you can see these teams have suffered as well, but all of them are in the hunt to make Regions and State.
I am sure there is other top 20 teams that lost some good talent to the high schools!!
You can't tell me that Edina's program drops off so much from #15 to #18 that it is making a huge difference. One of the largest programs in the state and losing your top 3 players is no reason for the State Tournament Champion from 2 years ago to not even make it out of Districts!

East Region is the toughest one to get to State. You have Minnetonka, ranked #2 in www.mnhockeyrankings.com, Woodbury#3, Burnsville #8, Eagan #10, Apple Valley #16. 4 of the top 10 teams by ranking in this region.
I see Woodbury getting to State and either Burnsville or Minnetonka.
Osseo/MG and Wayzata are most likely coming from one region.
Grand Rapids and Duluth are the top contenders for the North Region.
Blaine, Elk River, Roseau and East Grand Forks in other region.
Will be some interesting tough games this weekend.
Guaranteed to have a new champion from 2 years ago when Edina won the State Tournament.
Teams that were in that State Tournament that didn't qualify past districts are Edina, Eden Prairie and Little Falls. Grand Rapids took 2nd, Wayzata 3rd, Woodbury consolation, East Grand Forks lost to Woodbury in the consolation Championship, Cloquet lost 2 games in State.
North plays East in quarterfinals at State. West plays South.
Matchups could be Woodbury/Duluth East, Minnetonka/Grand Rapids, OMG/Blaine, Wayzata/Roseau.

Three of the regions have sleeper teams that can possibly do some damage in the tournaments. I would put Eagan, Apple Valley, Elk River, Moundsview, EGF, and Andover in this group. The South region is a little more difficult to find a team that can make a run. Does Hopkins or New Prague have the depth to make a serious run?hockeydawg wrote:Interesting that OMG and Wayzata are in opposite pools in more than one level for regions!

The winner between Hopkins and New Prague could go 2-1 in their pool to advance but I doubt either one will go much farther. Stranger things have happened tho!5 For Fighting wrote:Three of the regions have sleeper teams that can possibly do some damage in the tournaments.

Like on Sunday when Fergus had them in running time at 6-0 late in the third before they got on the board?hockey55 wrote:What about Moorhead...That team gets stronger every game.

What about the game on Saturday when Roseau had you down 5-0 with about 5 to go? Yeah, you came back with 4 goals in 4 minutes, but 5-0 with 5 to go? That game meant something, get to the championship game with a berth at VFW State on the line? Taking 46 of 51 minutes off against Roseau and getting nearly shut out by Fergus is not getting better every game.hockey55 wrote:teams have bad games. and that game didnt mean anything
