St Cloud.

Hermantown will not go 0-6 on the powere play.

Rogers will definetly have a harder time staying out of the box playing in H-town's backyard. Rogers actually won the special teams stat in the 1st game 100% PK and 33% PP.
There is no doubt everyone expects Hermantown to win, I am sure they even excpect it and that could be dangerous, how will they handle adversity if it hits them?

After the 2nd it was 3-0. Rogers, in the third was running.....score 4 goals to win the game 4-3. Who dominated the game????? I would argue that Hermantown was the better team that given night but didn't win! Agree??

no one really 'dominates' a 4-3 game
and a team that is 'better that given night' doesn't give up a 3 goal lead and lose

does anyone know if this game will be available online (video feed)

I'm impressed guys! Out of all my years browsing this site I never have seen an argument with a few guys at eachother's throats become so civil in such a short time. Anyway, how can anybody in their right mind think Hermantown will lose this season? Week in and week out they've beaten quality competiton with great defense and firepower. With so many players back from last year's team, a team that was spotted 4 goals (I think it was 4 goals but might have been 3) last year against St. Thomas in the championship, are there really people that think anyone can stop these Hawks except St. Thomas again? I know I am completely crazy but it just seems like Hermantown and Duluth East are on a mission to finish what they both should have finished last season......Winning titles.

I could not have said it better myself.
People do not realize how good this Hermantown team is.
Being that Herm is class A, it does not get much press coverage or respect, but I can tell you that this team can skate 3 lines and 5 D against any team in the state.
There is a 1st line but really no 2nd or 3rd as each is strong in its own way.
Rogers is going to have their hands full tonight as this team has a goal and Rogers is the next team in Hermantown’s path.

I've been trying to find video too but I don't think there is any. It's a shame I would love to watch. Guess the radio will have to do.

I would also be remiss if I did not recognize my team though, in it's short existance it has been to 2 section finals and I believe all years except one have lost to the eventual section champion. I hope they get over the hump and get their chance to show their pride at state some day soon.
In 2007 I think they probably had the best team in class A except for being bumped up to AA due to a co-op that really never existed since no students ever played a single sport with Rogers.
I was unable to make the game tonight, so I hope the Royals fought hard and gave it their all and lost with class.
Now the status of the section falls on the shoulders of H-town at state so represent.

you may also want to leave the north sometime and realize it is Rogers not Rodgers.

I highly doubt Rodgers had the best class A team in 07. Hermantown also went undefeated right through to a state title in 07. "Some" said they were arguably the best team in the state A or AA.

As far as you saying "my beloved Hermantown" you know nothing. I do not live in Hermantown...have no boys playing hockey in Hermantown so have no dog in the fight. But being a lifelong hockey fan i have the utmost amount of respect for a small town with no open enrollment that develops hometown kids into a winning team year after year that can compete with anyone in the state whether it be a AA team or one of the privates. Period.

Excellent post Northhcky! I completely agree. I am a ranger (obviously from my handle) but I have the utmost respect for H-town, and am thankful they're not in section 7! I will be rooting for them at the X.
