They ain't that good

However they did show what kind of class they have while shaking hands at the end of the game. Very uncharacteric of a Roseau team

Moorhead played very well against Bemidji.
The much better team.
I would like to see brainerd win just to change the landscape, but Moorhead was very impressive, could a been the competition making them look good, but I don't think so....

Anyway I hope it is a good game.
Too far to go on a wed. night, though.

What did Roseau do during the handshake?

Posted: **Sun Feb 24, 2013 10:10 am**

Good game played by the two teams. The Roseau team had as many chances as Brainerd but the Brainerd goalie come up strong. I can say the difference was that Brainerd was better at controlling the puck more in the offensive end by being able to gain ground inside for the second and third shot. Brainerd took away the second and third shots after the initial shotin their end. Talking to one of the locals, he said that going backl to Bantams these two teams have battled it out and some good old competition is the result and that is what Brainerd needs to do is not feel the game is lost because they are playing Roseau or Moorhead. I was also told that Brainerd took it to Moorhead on their home ice for a split in season and this should be a good game by two evenly matched teams again. All around good game, bargain for 8 bucks for a ticket. I would say the hardest thing to figure out was what type of a game the ref crew was trying to establish. You could see that was holding back both teams and frustrating both coaches. Two player stood out, both were defencemen, both are juniors. Roseau #10 and Brainerd #12.

The only reason Brainerd, in January, "Took it to Moorhead on their home ice" for the first time in 13 years (21 games) was because half the Spuds had the flu.

Or the fact that they couldnt stay out of the box and Brainerd capitalized on the PP by scoring what was it 6 times on it!

Hockeyrocks99, the Roseau boys are all planning to come back next year. Close-knit group on and off ice & they've enjoyed success at pee wee and bantam levels. They want to take another run for it at the high school level.

As for the handshake line, that was stupid and no excuses. One of our boys took exception to something, squared off, and was shuffled off. Handshake line resumed although it was discombobulated.

Has been great watching the Rams this year and can't wait for next season.

Best of luck to whoever takes this years Section 8AA title. . . go get 'em!

#10 is a senior.

Well duh - they weren't feeling good & were half a step behind the whole time. That's why they were hooking, holding, etc. As a result, they had someone sittin' in the cooler the whole game.

According to HH there were 10 Moorhead penalties in that game and only one was for hooking. None were for holding. Most were for roughing, slashing, and unsportsmanlike conduct. I can see how slashes might happen when players are under the weather, but not the rest. Brainerd also had 9 penalties. It wasn't a pretty game for either side.

My mistake on #10 for Roseau, I'll have to make a note of that, was going on a local source. Can see why his emotions came out at the end. I'm sure this will not be his last competitive game he will play.

Moorhead-
No question on overall record who has had the most success. My sources tell me that the core group for Brainerd, juniors and sophs, changed that on their way up. My sources also tell me that this year was somewhat a surprise for Brainerd being that they lost three seniors who put up the majority of points last year. Also most of who I talked to thought that this year was the year to rebuild with the focus on next year. Looks like next year is here for Brainerd.

Should be a good game, scrambling to revise my schedule to attend.

Archie knows what he is doing over in Brainerd. Program is on the rise. Too bad that liberal in Grand Rapids is so afraid to play the blue team would be a good annual home and home series.

The Spuds better get their flu shots before game time, they're gonna need 'em

pulling for brainerd...i want to see fresh faces from from traditionally weak sections for the past 16 years its been roseau or morrhead out of 8AA....would be nice to see Brainerd! now if we can only get STA in a section with hill murray and WBL so its not one of those teams every year also.

Sounds like there were a few "classy" Brainerd fans at the game and during the handshake additional comments were made to a certain player on a personal level.

With that said, not condoning things like either.

They all thank you for the concern, Syd. They're pretty much over the flu, so you don't have to fret. Now they all got one of those rere social diseases from Borneo and are more than willing to share it with the Warriors.

I'm curious Sputnik as to what type of social disease that may have picked up in Borup

As long as the Spuds refrain from checking from behind the Warriors will be just fine

Should be a heluva game, are you going

Dunno what it is - called "lackanookie", or something like that.

Doing WHAT from behind ? Never mind, we don't wanna get kicked outa here.

Yeah, gotta go & enjoy it, 'cause whoever wins won't last long at the "x", I'm afraid !

Got any proof of that or just hittin the bowl a little too hard again? Rapids plays teams much stronger than Brainerd every year; so I doubt anyone is ''afraid'' to play them.
