15-1 but i am sure we are not done yetslyer wrote:16-1
Not sure how you can say the game was decided in the 1st? Wasn't there, but I'd say MG pp and pk had a huge impact. Blaine must have just given up, no way you should get embarassed like that in a section final!UntouchableFlow wrote:Feel bad for Malvin to have to end his career on a note like that. Didn't have a chance on a lot of those MG goals, and did his best. MG's powerplay did exactly what they needed to do on that 5 minute major. Very impressive puck movement on that powerplay. I love to see Blaine get de-throwned in their section. Tough that the game got decided from that penalty, but it had to be called. State is going to be a very impressive draw this year.
Just so you know, scores like that will never stop. They're young athletes that try their best all the time, which is a good thing. You can sort teams by caliber, school size, etc. all you want, but the fact of the matter is teams are going to crush one another from time to time and not give a crap about the other team's feelings. That's the nature of competitive sports, especially at their age. 
The penalty completely decided the game. If Blaine isn't in a 4-0 hole, 5 minutes into the game, that game is drastically different. I think MG still would have won, but when you have to dig yourself out of a 4-0 hole it changes your mental game too. When you play a team with as good of a powerplay as MG, you don't take penalties, simple as that.mulefarm wrote:Not sure how you can say the game was decided in the 1st?

Kinda interesting to see MG throw their equipment everywhere after a huge defeat like that, but whatever, congrats to them. They deserve the W and a trip to State, finally.
As for the score, I'm anticipating posts and threads of complaints.
Again, congrats to MG, and good luck in St. Paul.
Maybe the threw their equipment becacuse this is the first time in school history they have won the section. MG has had many decent teams that always came up short, including last year. Don't know what you expected them to do after winning biggest game of the year for them?
Well said!PuckU126 wrote:15-1 Final

I agree that the game would have turned out differently, maybe 11-3. Maple Grove looked good, especially their goalie.UntouchableFlow wrote:The penalty completely decided the game.

Blaine had there opportunity to capitalize on MG 5 minute major, but nothing transpired due to Blaine not being as talented and deep like MGUntouchableFlow wrote:The penalty completely decided the game.

I agree. MG has waited long enough for a State birth. I don't blame them for their celebration.Maple Grove Crimson#1 wrote:Well said!PuckU126 wrote:15-1 Final

On the throwing of their equipment, this program has waited for this moment for along time and just because the game got out of hand doesn't mean they shouldn't be albe to celebrate like everyone els!
should be a great state tourney! Im hoping for a East vs. Maple Grove Final!
Probably about the same amount of times MG raised their hands after a goal.HockeyGuy81 wrote:I enjoyed Aus spending 30 seconds bitching to the ref after the initial penalty rather than getting his team ready for the penalty kill. Nothing like getting your kids in the mind set that they're getting screwed by the refs rather than getting them to compete.
Also enjoyed him and his staff raising their arm in the air every time they felt a penalty should have been called. Wish I would have counted the amount of times that happened.
Who can blame them for celebrating like that considering its their first trip to State?mulefarm wrote:Maybe the threw their equipment becacuse this is the first time in school history they have won the section.
