I'm going The Grove over The Knights...but that EP-BSM game could put a kink into that...I like MG regardless...

Any updates on MG and ER?

Spuds all the way!! Cake walk for the boys over the citiots=BSM.

Why doesn't St. Louis Park play in the St. Louis Park Tourney?

It's a BSM event.

Mark my words, BSM will NOT win this tourney, there not as good as everyone seems to want them to be...sorry.

Great. Now I have to go to the hardware store tomorrow. My irony meter just broke.

BSM is a solid team with many good players. They will get Bette as the season goes as well now that their goalie is back. Out of the teams that are left they might be the favorites with MG.

It doesn't matter who their goalie is when you give 11 breakways in 2 games they are sitting ducks back there. It's about teaching team defense which doesn't appear to happen. You can't hang your goalie out to dry with a 5 man forecheck. Undisiplined team, due poor coaching.

Well Timmy, unless you're playing knee hockey, if a team is giving up 11 breakaways in two games, it seems to me that who your goalie is becomes even more important. They'll be fine.

While I enjoyed playing knee hockey, I havn't played in 35 years. Even with their "regular" goalie they still gave up 3 breakaways one of which they scored on. The MG game they 8 in 2 periods and their "other" goalie only gave up 4. My point is they are atrocious on defense, whether transition D or penalty kill (see B'ville) game.

I noticed too that on offense last night all three goals scored in regulation were on the power play. While that helps your power play stats, you expect a team of talented forwards to also score 5 on 5, especially against a team that's ranked 10+ spots lower.

We'll see today if yesterday's game was just an anomaly or if BSM is developing some problems on offense while they attempt to get better on defense.

Anyone got the E-R / Jefferson score ?

How about E-P / Centennial ?

EP 4
Cent. 3

Not sure about the ER/Jeff game

Thanx SS.
