They used to get tons of radio coverage back in the mid-late 80s, enough that WEBC (or was it KDAL?) was once dubbed the "Duluth East Hockey Network" by some. I don't know what the Fan does anymore because I basically ignore AM radio.TheHockeyDJ wrote:One thing I'm curious of, is East being such a high profile program, why don't they have more audio or video streaming? Does the FAN in Duluth carry any of their games. Seems it is always the opponents coverage when they are online.
Radio does not have the staff and or resources to do much anymore. Certainly not like they did in the 80's. Trust me, radio and TV want to cover East hockey, but they do need to get to go-ahead from the AD to do so. Currently, that is an issue.east hockey wrote:They used to get tons of radio coverage back in the mid-late 80s, enough that WEBC (or was it KDAL?) was once dubbed the "Duluth East Hockey Network" by some.

No problemo. I realized this after I posted (also meant to say mid-90's rather than mid 80-s) but I was too lazy to go back and correct it.Schotzy wrote:Radio does not have the staff and or resources to do much anymore.

I don't mean to nit-pick, but the Fan is on FM in Duluth now. 92.1
Yup tough week for the hounds. Hopefully they can turn it around this week. Atleast STMA isn't a section game anymore.TheHockeyDJ wrote:Final: STMA 2, Duluth East 1
ER gave 3 goals on like the first 6 shots, Meyers will be better. Missing Scwab and Murray not ideal. The younger Perbix has a chance to pick up the slack with Murray out indefinitely. Best chance for a win at the Classic may be the Edina game.TheHockeyDJ wrote:For East one has to wonder if they are going to repeat last year. Still, are they playing with fire hoping to get a repeat season? They have a rivalry game against Marshall at Amsoil Arena on Wednesday that will be streamed on ifan.tv. I listened to a little of the Elk River game last night, Jack Perbix sounds like a player that has skill beyond his years and overall the Elks played an uptempo game and didn't give up when they were down 4-0.
Of course we look forward to the Edina Classic, but for GR/ER, that 6:00 game on Saturday is in bold print. Prime opportunity Saturday given East's current struggles to control own destiny for the 1 seed.
What are the details on the Murray injury? Even short handed it really felt like The River held their own in this one...minus on the scoreboard. Not like goals count for anything. They let Mr. Hockey run wild. How tall is that kid, anyways? I would like to see more effort containing him the second time around. (Easily said from the stands while I eat popcorn.) Elks showed some character not letting the foot off the gas pedal even when behind by 3 or 4.alcloseshaver wrote:ER gave 3 goals on like the first 6 shots, Meyers will be better.

Lots of season left for all teams in the section.NLHockey wrote:GR can probably book their rooms for March in St Paul
After what East did last year I'll never again count them out no matter what seed they are. Can't go by momentum either, that is overrated. When Rapids went to state in 2007 they stumbled through the end of the regular season including a tie with Denfeld and were the 3 seed. Last season Duluth East was stumbling much like they are now but much deeper into the season. This year it does seem to favor GR given Rapids hasn't had a head scratching loss and it seems they have the depth and goaltending to avoid that. Elk River looks like they are a worthy opponent in 7AA and the 1 seed will be a good thing this year as the semi-finals won't be near as difficult as it will for the 2 vs 3. Whoever does get the 1 should be penciled in for the section final. Elk River and Grand Rapids certainly are playing for the early lead in the race for 1 and 2 on Saturday.NLHockey wrote:GR can probably book their rooms for March in St Paul
I would agree the scoring depth and defense are much improved. Goaltending - will reserve judgment for a few more games. Your elite tender has only played one game - beyond proving that he can play varsity level behind Aamodt and Perunovich (Team North), nothing more has been proven, although certainly he's the preordained super star for years to come (don't get me wrong - he will likely prove his worth down the road). 3 goalie rotations never workTheHockeyDJ wrote:After what East did last year I'll never again count them out no matter what seed they are.

Actually the rotation has worked so far as all 3 goalies have played very well. I'm sure Klatt will settle on one as the starter around mid-season. Rapids has not lost one game or even come close to losing a game due to goaltending. Furthest thing from why they lost in OT to LVN or BSM.NLHockey wrote:I would agree the scoring depth and defense are much improved. Goaltending - will reserve judgment for a few more games.

I totally agree this is where it stands today. A lot can change, but East certainly has dug themselves an early hole and they have basically no margin for error the rest of the way in 7AA games.Traxler wrote:I know there are tons of games left to play, but if we were to seed Section 7 now would the top 5 be:
1. Grand Rapids
2. Elk River
3. Cloquet
4. Duluth Marshall
