I graduated from Edina in the early 70's so i don't think you want to get into championships, etc. These forums are meant to be entertaining, informative and let's remember ( myself included) we are talking about 15-18 year old kids. With enrollment over 3000 Im not shocked by your claims of excellence in regards to EP. Heck I even cheered for them when they won state in baseball back in mid- 2000. For the record Edina owns 142 state titles.

Maybe if EP played # 7 for 80% of the game instead of 70% they stay within 3 of Hill now. If you can't find # 7 look in front of the opposing bench he's the one celebrating another PP goal. I agree EP has huge talent, but these kids have been playing together for 7-8 years. To beat Hill by one when Hill players were still trying to remember each others names I don't consider a huge win.

I find it funny how you make it sound as if "#7" is the only one that can score on the team. I believe that #28 was the one who scored the game winner against hill, who I'm guessing already knew each others names, and saying that EP only won by 1? A wins a win isn't it? Most people aren't gonna look back at a state championship game (Ep vs. Hill possibly) and say but they only won by a goal...

Yes.... and Holy Angels did beat Eden Prairie, by two goals actually. It doesn't matter what kind of talent they have on the team, it's about the consistency they can show game-in and game-out no matter who they're playing. Obviously this didn't happen in this game and EP will pay for, theres nothing anyone can do or say to stop that one. On the other side I'm still a little disturbed with the accusation that EP actually added shots to the board after losing. Does anyone have any class anymore?

And talented teams go on the road and beat Hill. Or did you already forget that one?

season. Im a little concerned, really looks like I'll need "A" game
for each post. I wondered how I would replace Sid when he hangs it
up so this is a nice suprise.
