haha, Rosemount is not capable of beating Roseau. Roseau is a perfect match for demantling Rosemount. The Irish are a good team because they have excellent veteran leadership. This is a perfect recipe for beating teams like Jefferson (who they recently crushed 4-1). The problem is Roseau has BETTER veteran leadership than Rosemount and plays with significantly more depth.

If this game were to happen (which Rosemount will never reach state), I would predict a 5-2 for Roseau. Ness would DESTROY the BPP line.

what are you trying to jinx them, Is getting beat so bad, I don't think so but looking at the list they have some teams really hungry, so it will be an interesting run. I can't believe you started this on RHF.

I don't personally believe that any of the remaining teams on Roseau's schedule will beat them. I don't believe in jinxes either, but the old saying "Luck favors the prepared" fits their situation well. I think having a poll where people share their opinions about up coming games may serve as a good Ram's locker room posting. I think having people say that they could lose to a team will only fire them up more for the game.

While some of these teams are quality opponents, there are at least 15 teams in the state who would have a good shot at running the table on them. Roseau only has 1 or 2 (depending on the poll) top 20 teams on their schedule. Why all the chest pounding over being undefeated?

Winning can also breed too much confidence and not going into a game prepared. Not saying this will happen, but obviously at times this can be the difference in a game.

There is such a thing as over confidence, but i think that card has been way overplayed when it comes to this Rams team. Why does everyone say this team is over confident? Just because they're the defending state champs and are undefeated this year means they're an over confident team? Any actual evidence to this teams over confidence? There might be, but i haven't seen it. Someone let me know if they have.

This goes against my better judgement as it will probably attract a crowd resembling the creatures from that Stars Wars bar scene.

Yes, Roseau has played good teams. Jefferson, GFRR, GFC, Hibbing, EGF, Warroad, TRF, T-G, Buffalo, and Moorhead for starters are real living, breathing high school hockey teams filled with players who have spent their young life doing what they can with what they have. None will go down in history with the legendary teams that seem to get better with time but all were capable of beating Roseau had they taken a night off.

I'll go with the 1972 version of Crookston Cathedral or Mount whatever they called it.

The had one heck of a centerman.
