Since my Edina boys will be down
I want to know what people have to say about this upcoming squad.

Top Returners: Patterson, Meyers, Horn, Horton, Daly, Nelson, and Steinhauser

Very good! Look for this team in state if there section isnt to hard.

They should have a good season next year with who they've got.

Problem is EP will most likely be in their section.

they will have a good record because most of their games are against teams in a mediocre to bad conference.

their schedule was one is the top 25% this year in order of strength
look at the teams january schedule this year

Patterson needs to become consistent. His game is up and down like a roller coaster.

That is true about #22
I bet he will have the C on his jersey next year.
This will cause him to show up more hopefully, when he is on he can take over games.
He makes his whole line better, rather than just individuality on the ice.

There D situation is lookin very bright, starting with meyers in net.
Daly will step up

the real thing that bsm has to worry about is if meyers will head to juniors next year or not if he stays bsm will most likely be one of the top teams in state. Can't wait to see who is in there section

BSM will always have 10 automatic wins because of their conference - but you can say the same thing about Hill Murray, Holy Angels. etc. But with a non conference schedule that is as tough as anyone's a good record is never a guarantee. I wouldn't expect someone from Skipperville to understand that

Wouldn't expect someone from Skipperville to understand a tough non-confernence schedule?

What r u talking about. Dude, here's a side by side comparison of final rankings from PS2

Overall:
Minnetonka 2nd rated Strength of Schedule (SOS)
BSM - 38th rated SOS

Your schedule includes 14 conference games, not 10 buddy. Don't go patting yourself on the back for the other 11 games.

Thanks for calling him out on this one Blueblood. I was just about to hit the send key... Everyone knows what you are left with when you drop the "M" from "BSM"....

What do you expect... it’s not benilde's fault for joining a terrible hockey conference. If you look past their conference games they do have a tough schedule. But I have to admit their record does get kind of bloated because of their weak conference.

blueblood always deals in the facts. Just like Sgt. Joe Friday from Dragnet.

It' is BSM's fault for what conference they are in.

When they moved to "AA" under Hendrickson, did they ask to join any another confrernce than the NSC? They also could have gone all non-conference like Duluth East.

They were better off playing breck and blake in the tri-metro as an "A" school than the NSC with teams like cooper and chisago lakes.

Aslo - my bad on the # of games they play in the NSC conference. According to their schedule, they play "4 point" games versus some teams. Another sign of weakness....

When bsm moved into the NSC it was for one reason really the Metro alliance was disbanding so they decided to move into the NSC. They were asked to move into the classic lake but they decided not because the football team would be at too big of a disadvantage

how does that show weakness? they are trying to play as few conference games as possible to play more non conference games

It shows how the conference is weak.

The teams are in a conference by design, but they minimize the games. Tell me what other conference does that?

The Lake - no
The Classic Lake - no
The Northwest Suburban - no
The Missota - no
etc
etc.

when joining conferences they think of all sports not just hockey

Benilde wont get out of their section for 4-5 years.

I dont understand how you can justify what you just said considering we dont even know the section alignments for next year.

I do. You can assume nothing major will change with sections in the western suburbs...conferences is a different story.

could anyone tell me who number 24 is for benilde? how did he do this year, i watched him in the EP game and and it seemed like the kid had a great deal of speed. is he a junior or senior?

If I am not mistaken, I believe Kennedy only played a half schedule in the Lake.
