Looks as though Qweerty has issue with Hoche. I see nothing positive coming from your posts or some other posters on this thread. What do you achieve from this? Are you a better person by bring someone down? We will see what Hoche will do this year. I wish him and the Blue Devils an awesome year with a repeat to State. At State the team will be ready this time. If you have seen Hoche only in State, that may be the conclusion you would draw (below average..over-rated..whatever). BUT, Coach Hendrickson had faith in Hoche and that's what matters. Hoche performed well for the team, helping to get them to State. Tell me this, if he is over-rated and Poderzay is outstanding in a class with the best tenders in the state, how did Virginia/Hoche beat Hibbing/Poderzay with nearly identical stats in the section final. Yeah, and have a great day!!!

I don't think I was "comparing" goaltender to goaltender. I merely suggested that those who continually throw GAA's around like they are the best measuring stick for the best goaltenders need to keep in mind there are other points to consider when evaluating the success of a goaltender. I've seen Ellingson play and he has a good team in front of him. I've only seen Lee play once but have had some opportunity to see his skill/technique other than in a game setting. Both are good goaltenders but neither of them see the excessive number of shots that some of these goalies do that don't have a strong D playing in front of them. I don't think you or anyone can really deny that. It's not meant to be disrespectful to anyone because that's not my style.

Puckhead89 I wasn't posting about you. You explained my beliefs on goaltenders abilities exactly. Hoche played for Ely and some games he saw 60-70 shots and he held his ground with nobody in front of him. The score final may have looked terrible but looking further at the stats told a different story about the tender. This is only my belief......You can have an excellent goaltender without a team in front of him and still win some but you are not going to win if your team has a "below average" goaltender. Sorry Puckhead that you thought I was scolding you. Those it was intended for will not see the ills of their ways. How many more days til the season begins?????????????

VABlueDevilsFan, actually our posts came on the board at about the same time....I was responding to Qwerty just like you....so thanks, but I knew who your post was directed to. Nice there are some of us out there who appreciate the goaltenders who are offering their teams alot but never quite get the credit. It makes the game more fun to watch when you understand goaltending and how the netminder is actually doing in the net....win or lose, eh? <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/smile.gif ALT=":)">

If those goaltenders are as good as their supposed to be (and in my opinion they are very good), and Hoche is not (which we'll never know if you have your way), the comparison would speak for itself. <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/eyes.gif ALT=":rolleyes">

We'll see how good he does this year without a standout D1 defensemen(who barely left the ice) on his side. Time will tell.

yea i would say it will be interesting with out niskanen there.

unionballs · Post by **unionballs** » Mon Sep 26, 2005 12:08 am

Hey 15. Dont get your pants in a swirl. I agree with you on Niskanen. I think he's fantastic. My comment was for Hoche or should I say Blue Devils fan. I think Virginia will be hurting without Nisky. He played a huge part in V-town's run. The goalies might have seen 30 or 40 shots a game once in awhile, but Nisky made sure no rebounds were around. I wish the best of luck to the team. My point was Nikanen went in the first round of the draft for a reason. Goalies best friend.

Ya, Virginia's defense will defininitely be hurting. You can't expect to equal last year's defense when you lose Niskanen. Hoche will be getting more rebounds and more quality shots with the loss of niskanen.

Hey 15...don't think that a 10th grader is going to bring you guys to state....no goalie- no Matt-and no Robes coaching the defense means NO STATE! Sleep on that!

PuckRanger · Post by **PuckRanger** » Fri Sep 30, 2005 12:46 am

hhhtoad, I have seen a couple posts from you around the forum stating Virginia will have no goalie and no defense. I would like to remind you that: 1) They have TWO very experienced and proven goaltenders. Why you refuse to acknowledge this puzzles me. 2) They also are only losing ONE defenseman, albiet an NHL 1st round pick, but nonetheless, all of the returning defensemen played last year on a regular basis and the floodgates did not open when they were on the ice. 3) Perhaps you are also overlooking the fact that Keith Hendrickson is one of the best defensive coaches in the state. He has taken some talent-less teams in the past and made them very competetive by teaching them sound team defense. As far as the 10th grader remark goes, I wonder if you've ever actually seen him play. <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/eyes.gif ALT=":rolleyes">

Sounds like it is going to be a fun year

hawkfan70 · Post by **hawkfan70** » Thu Oct 20, 2005 12:52 pm

It has been a few weeks since I have heard anything about how Hibbing and Virginia are the teams to beat in 7A. From everything I see here, Hermantown has no chance. Why is that? Go Hawks

PuckRanger · Post by **PuckRanger** » Thu Oct 20, 2005 2:30 pm

Hermantown has a lot coming back. They will be in the mix, no doubt about it.

So guys and gals don't forget about the Two Harbors team this year........I think this the group of kids that went to state when they were bantams........If I remember correctly this is a good bunch of kids that should have a good year. I think they have a couple of kids on the elite 2 team. Good Luck Two Harbors.

hawkfan70 · Post by **hawkfan70** » Thu Oct 20, 2005 3:07 pm

Which Two Harbors team are you refering to that went to state? Their Bantam team didn't even get out of district playoffs the last 2 years

northshorehockeynut · Post by **northshorehockeynut** » Thu Oct 20, 2005 3:22 pm

3 years ago I think it was the bantam b team that won districts and regionals then went to State (I think it was the first year they invited Bantam b1's) I talked to a parent that told me about them.

im pretty sure two harbors is gunna blow like they always do<img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/roll.gif ALT=":rollin">

northshorehockeynut · Post by **northshorehockeynut** » Fri Oct 21, 2005 6:25 pm

You sure about that dman???? I hear they are a good bunch of kids that play year round on and off ice......I think that Two Harbors will have a good team this year.......

PuckRanger · Post by **PuckRanger** » Fri Oct 21, 2005 9:51 pm

I would be shocked if Two Harbors didn't finish with a winning record, and they play a relatively tough schedule when compared with Silver Bay, Ely, and a couple others. In the end, I think they'll have an outside shot at the section title.

mnhockey21 · Post by **mnhockey21** » Thu Nov 17, 2005 2:17 pm

I dont see two harbors in the mix at all, even though they did embarrass hibbing last year, no matter what they will always have that win to talk about, and hibbing will always have that loss to be ridiculed for. Top contenders this year will be like most years, Hibbing virginia Hermantown
