YEP! Thats wonderful.

Maybe if you are this hockey fan you should move. Apperantely all the teams in this area are not any good and we should just quite.

Dazed,

You are arguing with a person who needs to visit the Wizard & get some courage. BIAFP is afraid to stand behind a particular team/program & thus make him/herself open to criticism. He would rather just sit back & fire shots. Says a lot about her...him...whatever. Please make an appointment with the man behind the curtain then come back!

Hey, Whatever it is its from the Centenial area. They where smart and got out of hills section so as not to taint there great winning tradition up there. Good thing all the great hockey minds live up there.

Yes, he didn't have his best appearances at state and experience should improve that. But you mentioned that Phillippi had choked at sections in the past which has not been the case.

He did lose 1 game in sections. His freshman year he lost to North in OT 5-4. That was one of the greatest hockey games I have ever seen.

still debated to this day whether norths 4 goal counted.

Roseville and Hill are the best teams

What? What do you mean?

Depending on who you talk to North's forth goal shouldn't have counted. I wasn't at the game but as I understand it Hill scored with a little over a minute left to go up 4-3. After the faceoff North quickly got the puck into the offensive zone. The net was knocked off it moorings, by Phillipi, but the puck went in and was counted as a goal.

Not that it would have been H-M's year, but there were some very controversial calls in the game. The 4th goal he is referring to was the tying goal for North St. Paul late in the third in which the net was clearly off (at least a foot) before the puck even came close to entering the net. The refs however called it a goal as the game headed to overtime.

Phillipi knocked the net off on that goal himself. He did that way too many times that game, that goal was right to be counted, he's lucky he didn't get a delay of game penalty that game. French (Goal scorer) had already shot the puck before the net came off.

I agree that nerves had him kick the net off here and there, but if anything there should have been a delay of game called. It was terrible to call a goal in which the net wasn't even lined up properly. It didn't make sense. Anyways that was then and this is now...

That's true. And the Polar hockey team has not been the same since. It may take a while for them to be that good again. With Rubbelke coming, hopefully there will be more scoring but I wonder about goaltending situation with Tom Horner graduating in spring. He was a good goalie but didn't have a lot of help.

I think he's trying out for NDTP, so don't get your hearts set on Barney being NSP's savior...

I saw him skate on Satudayn he is good, but not NDPT good.

He is good but I disagree with the NDTP good He deffinately would fit in there. They should go after him and sell him on moving out of the area.

Weighing those two options would be a shotput vs a feather.

Unless he wants to play football or baseball more than hockey after high school. He is darn good in all three sports.

It is sad that these kids and there families are pressured the way they are. School friends and other interests are so important. What a tough spot to be in. I envy and feel sorry for them at the same time.

I didn't see him play, but from what I've been told, Joe's probably a better QB than anything. Like I've said before, his dad is probably the best baseball coach I ever had, so I don't doubt that Joe's extremely talented there as well.

I think Joe seems to lack a little bit of aggressiveness on the ice. His speed isn't the greatest I've seen, his stickhandling is among the best, but he seldom takes it upon himself to "take over"... he had a lot of opportunity to do it this season, and he didn't. He's too much of a nice guy I guess. That's something I think he'd need to work on.

My sonhad the chance to play with him this past fall and was very impressed. the kids that play the game seem to know who is truely good.

How was he able to move from school to school without missing playing time?

From what I remember, he was one of the top passers in the metro area last fall.

That's part of the new transfer rule.
