Roseau Vs. Buffalo (1-12-08)

[wishock]

I do find it entertaining. I believe that some former players and fans may spend a lot of time here. But I was just repeating what I have been told by high school players and their families.

No confusion PG19...think I have good idea who WOW is...

To the contrary, confusion abounds. You have no idea who I am HOF. I do not know you, personally.

Back to the topic at hand.........
You believed, well before this game, that the Buffalo squad had significant potential. For you to effectively walk out of the rink "chesty" after Buffalo was outshot 41-16, shutout, and lost by three goals, is curious, at best.
Sure, the odds were against them, and few thought they could actually win, but with where Buffalo is, there should be some deep seeded confidence that they actually have a shot. Instead, you are giddy that they managed to keep the goal differential below 4.
Absolutely, it had to have been a great learning experience for the team. But to suggest they actually improved their standing (i.e. "earning respect") by not getting absolutely drilled, is ludicrous, and doesn't show much confidence in your team. Buffalo may deserve some fans that actually truly expect them to perform at a level higher than that, rather than those that believe "they did a great job against boys that are clearly far more talented than themselves."

Special teams made a huge difference in the games SOG...Like I said many had the shots somewhat different than the hometown scorekeeper. WOW, your comments like always are somehow tainted a bitter appraisel of Bison Hockey. I agree that the Bison have a long way to go but in the last 1 1/2 seasons they have:

Defeated a Top ten Duluth East Team
Defeated Wayzata
Defeated Hopkins
Won the Kiwanas Tourney in Rochester
Lost 2 goal or less games against
Minnetonka
Edina
Maple grove
Armstrong
Stillwater
Cloquet
Moorhead

lost 3 goal game to Roseau...

Not saying that it is impressive but it obviously shows a vast improvement over previous years at Buffalo...now the coach has some skill guys to work with and after he opens up the game to them they might be dangerous later this season...also defensemen getting better and they do have 4 or 5 guys that have the tools to be elite players but need to mature mentally some first..

The latest MinnHock rankings are out. Buffalo moved from 51 to 48 !!!!!
