In my opinion if Moorhead wants to finally win a State Title they should get a new coach with the ability to win a game when it matters. Its nice and all to have 20+ wins each year but he can't win games when it matters. I would much ratehr take a 6-24 record and win state instead of a 24-2-1 record a not make it out of sections.

What've you been smoking ? If you had a 6-24 record you wouldn't get to the state tournament (at least not in Minnesota) !

Actually. if you had a 6-24 record, that means you went two and out at the state tournament.

25 game schedule.
3 section playoff games
2 games at state
30 game total

Thats if you are in sections 4a, 5a, 2aa, 3aa, 6aa and didn't have to play a play in game in sections. your team would have finished the regular season with a 1-24 record

So if they lost all their reg. season games they would be 0-24, three wins would get them into state in section 8AA and three wins in state would make you the STATE CHAMPIONS and by my math that makes the team 6-24 with a state title.

As for Ankles Pierre:
I'm pretty sure that the Spuds Dominated before Morinville got here. I'm pretty sure that the Cullen's with their dad coaching the team not Morinville got to state a bunch of times and to the title game a lot to, but of course never one the big game. So next time you try to say that Morinville was the man that raised Moorhead to greatness you better check your facts pony!!!!!!!!!!!! Also the best thing for Moorhead would be a whole new coaching staff. One that can win the big games, like Roseau's can. you never see them choke in the big game do you. Yeah that's what i thought. So just go back and sit on your thumb some more pony.

Not sure what impact they will have in the section I would imagine it may be difficult for them to compete with Brainerd, Roseau, Tech, and Moorhead.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but in 2 years Roseau's talented group of sophomores (Landman, Ness, Oliver, Mike Lee) will be seniors and probably almost unbeatable unless some of them go on to juniors before then. So I don't see how the Spuds will be contending by then either.

Big mistake ... and most likely cost them the State Championship this year.

The State Championship was played on Saturday, March 3, 2007 at the"little ralph" in TRF.

Still not sure if they learned their lesson.

Didn't see many Moorhead jerseys/jackets/sweatshirts at the tourney this year.

Fair-weather fans?

Did see alot of Alumni though. Guys that played on some great teams for Moorhead.

Two losses and 1 tie during a 4 month hockey season is a commendable season. Throw in the stregth of schedule and it looks damn nice (check out PS2 ratings).

I saw pleanty of "Moorhead" fans at the tourney but they were "hockey" fans. You say fair weather but why would a non-hockey fan go to the state hockey tourney. Most of the folks who follow them during the year are MOORHEAD fans but not necessarily hockey fans. Were you expecting 1500 spud fans to show up an watch the Rams kick everyone's rear. I didn't get the jist of your post.

I talked to a handful of section 8 players that called the Rams win over the Spuds a HUGE upset. Pretty nice words from kids that actually PLAYED against both teams.

The bottom line is that the RAMS represented section 8AA in an exceptional fasion. Watching them shake with excitement with about 20 seconds left in their championship game was awesome. Mean while somewhere in Moorhead or in the X bathrooms there was a Moorhead kid with his head in a toilet stool throwing up. What a monumental dissapointment it must have been for these kids. My heart went out to every 2006-2007 varsity player. The sting will take some time to go away.

2 season ago I think a group of Spuds thought they had it wrapped up against AHA and it wasn't meant to be then either. Look around the nation and you will see that many of them have done pretty well since. People also talked about HOW LONG it would be before they made it back (many graduating players just like this year). The answer was ALMOST 2 years. I am hopeful that it will only take that long again.
