Nice win for The knights from New Brighton. Irondale is starting to make some noise.

Not sure how they score them in Forest Lake but 3-3 isn't a win. looks like Irondale is playing well though.

Thanks for the correction, my OLD eyes don't work like they used to. Your right they seem to be playing well. Cent. looked great when they played us. Is Irondale in the hunt in d-10??

I happened to catch the 3rd period of this game last night at the Super Rink. Irondale was up 3-2 with less than a minute to go....Centennial pulled their goalie and tied it up.

Will they contend in D10? We'll see, but they looked pretty good from what I saw.

Irondale would be fairing even better if checking was still around. Very hard-nosed defensemen from the kids I saw this summer...

Good to see Ironjail doing well.

Best town name for a hockey team - Iron-dale!

Actually, there is no town called "Irondale"...The Irondale hockey program serves New Brighton and Mounds View.

Score from Friday night at Dakota:

Eden Prairie-2
Prior Lake-0

Eden Prairie scored early and hung on to win. Their goalie had an outstanding game, continually beating back the Laker forwards. After a slow start, an interesting game to watch. The Eagle goalie dominated the Laker attack in the second and third period such that late in the third period one could almost see the Lakers saying "no mas". The Eagle forwards and defense offered little support.

Sorry but I have to disagree with Frederick61 on the EP/PL game. I know our esteemed blogger would have you believe that the Prior Lake defeat lay in the hands of the Eden Prairie goalie. But in no way did the EP defense and forwards not play their part in the victory. To read his brief account is an insult to the hockey mind. This was a great D6 game...

To anyone that was there, there was NO defining moment. Eden Prairie just controlled the play. Did the Lakers generate more shots? Yes. But did the Eagles control the scoring opportunities? Yes.
Did Prior Lake come within 1 penalty of losing their fair play point? YES.

Talking points:
Number one, Eden Prairie rolled all 3 lines. And they won.
Number two, Prion Lake tried to roll their lines. And they lost. They can't play their 3rd lines and compete.

And when PL shortened the bench, EP had an answer for them. Their D men were capable and strong.

The big EP goalie was very good, but also lucky. The Eagle defense was there to sweep aside any rebounds and control the puck.

And the EP forwards generated plenty of chances. Over 20 shots. And if not for a generous call from the referees waiving off a 2nd period goal, and the 3rd period "empty net" goal (disallowed) as time expired, the score should have been 4-0.

Come on Frederick. We expect better analysis than that. It wasn't tough to see that, as a team, Prior Lake was outplayed. To chalk it up to a "hot" goalie is not responsible journalism. EP spent as much time in the offensive zone as Prior Lake.

Prior Lake is good. But not beatable. Give Eden Prairie their props. This is the group that won Fargo. They have terrific Goalies, great D-men, and highly skilled forwards.
To anyone that watched that game tonight, I'm thinking State Final for Pee Wee hockey.

very well said Tweet... Those were the very same thoughts I immediately had when I read Freddie's post. However, I was not surprised at all when I did see Fred's recap, since if you've been reading Fred's Peewee recaps for a few year's now, it is clear he has an obvious disdain/lack of respect for EP hockey (and Edina). Given that Fred is the "unofficial-official" Peewee blogger, this lack of objectivity toward one program is rather unfortunate.

That being said, I love reading Fred's posts, his passion and commitment to Peewee hockey is obvious, and we have all benefited from that through his posts.

PL played right into the hands of EP, ep has some skilled savy smart hockey players and a great goalie. PL played flat and didnt have alot of jump in there step like we have seen earlier this year, EP did a good job of slowing the game down and executed there game plan well. I dont think the "Shortening of the bench" thing had anything to do with the result, both EP's goals where scored with PL's top players on the ice, that being said these teams could play 10 times and most likely split 5-5. @hockeytweet it is obvious that you are a parent or in some way affiliated with the EP program, but leave the bias aside when analizing. And im not affiliated with the PL program either.

IMO Fred is spot on. EP tender may be the best in the state at his age group and like all great tenders, can make a small lead hold up. Kudos to the Eagles for taking down #1 in their barn. The goalie obviously can't score also.

@hockeytweet · Post by **@hockeytweet** » Sat Dec 03, 2011 1:29 pm

To oberver4 guy, No I'm not affiliated with EP. It is a summer hockey interest, and my son knows and plays with and against kids on BOTH of those teams. I also have a lot of respect for Coach B. in Prior Lake and how he has impacted that program in a positive way. That is a very good team.

I just thought EP played a more complete game than frederick was giving them credit for. So I threw in my 2 cents.
I see it all the time on this forum, that if you give credit where credit is due, you are immediately attacked as a self-touting coach, player, or parent.
I simply attended and saw things differently.

((Also of note, EP is one of the few highly rated PWA teams this year who wasn't fortunate enough (if you take that view) to get a FIRE player, or an "open enrollment" (cough, cough--Edina) student transfer. Notice I said "this year" as I'm sure EP has benefited in the past at the PW/Btm levels.)) LOL

Hockey dads need to lighten up and not by so cynical about comments. And the responses could be more substantive and polite, instead of the harshness and negativity which compliments tend to draw. Maybe everyone is grumpy because of the $$$ it costs year-round to play this sport.
I will agree with you about the closeness of these teams--but I say PL wins 7 of 10. They are that good.
I think Prior Lake wins in Duluth to go 2 for 2 on the young season.

PS: frederick61, I still love the blog, I just picked a different slice from the same loaf of bread. You agree that PL wins in Duluth?

Well than my fault on the affiliation with EP! I am a dad but not a hockey dad, my son is unable to play hockey, just a guy who played alot of hockey, at all levels and loves to watch youths play and develope! Agreed about the duluth turney, maybe a repeat final??

Both pl and ep are good teams. But EP has a good goalie and two strong players--PL has a good goalie (a move in from Bloomington) and a much deeper team. Not a dad of either team but have seen both play multiple times this year.

Saturday afternoon score from White Bear Lake:

White Bear Lake-3
Mounds View-0
Game was three 11 minute stop time periods with 2:00 min penalties

This was a fairly clean skated game between two matched teams. White Bear scored the only goal of the first two periods late in the first period off a scrum with less then 30 seconds to go. They scored the second goal with just under 10 minutes to in the third when the Mounds View goalie mishandled the puck and added a third goal late in the game.

Mounds View continues to struggle as a team. They have talent, but have not come together as a team. White Bear Lake has grown, their team literally has gone from small to medium in the last six weeks. On top of that they have kept their team play, but now play a much stronger game. Mounds View is a strong team, and the Bears outplayed them in the last part of the game.

Aren't you the same marketing guru toting he was the best goalie in the state back during the Velocity Tournament

I Don't think he was the best in that tournament and that tournament is a great test of goaltending skills.

The kid is solid and one of the top of the class in Pee Wee's but enough with the campaign already
