Wow, no games this weekend. Heard the 2000 Manitoba Lightning lit up the number 2 team in Manitoba this weekend. Apparantly they have improved their team with some new acquisitions. That is all i have heard thus far. Looks like Manitoba could be contenders in a couple of the age groups at the Stars and Stripes.

I heard the 00 Edge played the 00 Blades on Saturday I think. Did not hear how it went.

Blades beat the Edge 8-4, in what was being described around the rink on Saturday afternoon as a sloppy game. Who knows.

As far as the 00 Lightning, they are a decent team but saying they beat up on the #2 up there doesn't say a whole lot. Manitoba teams, at least at the 00 level, are pretty weak: Storm, Mustangs, Hurricanes, etc.

Added to the fact that the Lightning lost their best player (R.S.) over the winter to another organization, and you could see a rematch of the Bauer Selects and the Orange on Sunday in the SnS finals.

RS hasn't gone to a new team. Infact they added players, didn't lose any top players.

His dad mentioned a month ago that he was playing for a different team this summer. After seeing the Blades beat the Lighting 3-1 a few weeks ago, I'm not sure the Bauer Selects need to worry just yet.

Not suggesting they do. Just saying they still have that player and added a few strong players.

I talked to some Blade parents, they said the game was close till the edge switched goalies half way through the second. Let 4 in by the start of third. Then they went back to the other one.

00 Edge handle Iceman 5-1, they will be tough to beat.

The 2000 Edge dominated the Icemen in that game. Quote

Looks like all of your posts are about the 00' edge. Interesting.

He thinks I am an 2000 Edge parent. My kids are in college. I checked out a few of those kids on that team. As well as some from the Icemen. We tend to stay away from Machine kids because they burn out. Let's just say I watch a lot of squirt-peewee hockey every year checking out the more talented players.

That makes no sense to me. Can you elaborate?

Nope. For those who drink the Bernie kool-aid, logical discussion is a waste of time.

HD41 - As a "2000" Machine coach why would you need anyone to elaborate on burnout? You see it happening right in front of your own eyes dont you?
