Hibbing BAA
Not sure how many of you folks have seen this team, but they are a legit contender to win it all. Recent swing through the metro had them beating 3 top 10 teams. I know some of y'all have a problem with recognition but this Peronuvich (sp) kid is one of the best I've seen all year. Before all the spittin starts I'm a cities guy with cities kids. I do love the fact that a small town Northern team could come down and have a solid shot at the trophy.

It was the second meeting... Grand Rapids won the first one in Hibbing 5-3, and they won at home tonight by a similar 6-4 score.Mnhockeys wrote:Surprised if this is their first meet this season ... are the two towns like EP/Edina distance?!

Should be a good one.

What did you jump off the EP Bandwagon? Why would you leave that horseedgeless2 wrote:Don't get me on your team's bandwagon!! GR is going all the way.
Everyone knows this is a two team race, the Eagles and Ponies will be playing the final Sunday, Hibbing is a nice story but can't compete vs those teams.
Let's just say my prognostication skills continue to fail me. I was down on ER earlier this year because of their schedule and they continue to mop everyone up, outside of two one off losses. Stillwater is an awesome team as is EP. When it gets down to single elims, I would not say any team is unbeatable. That is unless I predict them to lose.ThePuckStopsHere wrote:What did you jump off the EP Bandwagon? Why would you leave that horseedgeless2 wrote:Don't get me on your team's bandwagon!!

What I am sure I do not know is how the new format for regions and state will work out. As it has been explained to me, it seems to lend itself to getting the top teams to state. I am unsure how these Northern teams will be affected. Will they have to travel to fit into their slot at regions or will they just be placed in the Northern region with the big dogs from up North fighting for their 2 slots at state?
Case in point! ER loses to GR today. It's really uncanny! I'm like mush from is it "A Bronx Tale"? Although I did throw myself the knuckleball with the GR going all the way, in this thread. Geez now I'm confusing myself and will officially resign from all bandwagons.edgeless2 wrote:Let's just say my prognostication skills continue to fail me.

No that would make no sense. They just lost to Hermantown who is in there single A section. They haven't beat GR all year and Elk Rivers team is strong as we all know and this Duluth East Bantam team is weak compared to years past I don't see Hibbing ever moving up to AA hockey in high school. Great team though it's fun to be able to watch small towns like GR and Hibbing and Hermantown compete at the Bantam AA level
