That was a surprise to me. I really thought Jamestown was going to finish in the top 3-4 pretty easily out west. Good to see

Looks like RR has finally turned a corner and is starting to appear as the team everyone thought they would be. Definitely wont be a 7-1 game next time they play Central. Central and RR will be the easy #1 and #2 in the east followed by the toss up of South, DL and Davies. The last 2 spots for state will come down to some close games at EDC. Out west, Minot seems to be showing some consistency other than almost blowing another game against Century. The #4 spot in the West seems to be the only question mark.

Was that Schmaltz' first game back with the blackhawks last night? Goal and an apple is a pretty good start if so!

South takes down DL 3-0 this time around. Back to a log jam

Minot beats Davies 3-2 in OT

I agree other than that he lacks the natural hard nosed toughness a small defender needs to be successful. Maybe he can improve on playing the man, but he just doesn't have that dig your heels in mentality IMO. I think he could do some damage up front and could play the point on the PP. Won't happen either way

In all honesty I think he'd make a good forward. He doesn't have the size to be a Dman nor the tenacity to make up for it like some smaller dmen do. I'm not just basing this off last nights game, it's been happening all season long. Miami just exposed him worse than anyone else has all season.

He was on the penalty kill with tucker when Miami scored during the 5min.

Not just you, I just spewed about wolanin. He was -3 despite getting a goal and apple. That says it all! He's only got quick feet and fast hands on offense.

Wolanin, wolanin, wolanin wolanin. Honestly they should change him to forward...that's obviously what he wants to do and has some success at. He is NOT a good closer or good defender in any aspect. I've seen it every game this season. I honestly didn't see him win a Miami attack once all night. Which is a battle D-men win 85-90% of the time (forcing them to dump in or forcing them behind the net with the puck count as wins in my book). Too weak, too impatient and too offensive minded. He's my player to pick on this year and he makes it way too easy. Going -3 last night when you score and have an apple? WOW. I'd bench him after a performance like that to make him think about his play a little bit. I thought johnson was actually the anchor on their pair. At least he stays home and makes the little plays. I hate flashy defenseman, especially if they can't back it up doing the grinder work in their own zone.

Minot is always so hard to read. They might be better than I thought. Good for DL, I believe they outshot them last time too despite getting beat by 4 goals. I believe 2 of them were empty netters, but still. Anyway, I think DL might land the 3 spot. I don't see anyone knocking off GFC or RR from #1 or #2.

DL beat Davies tonight. Any other updates?

Any updates on the RR vs EGF game?

How did they do in state?

I think something like that would have done better downtown. Granted the only other fastfood place downtown is another sub place, but I feel like there is some opportunity in that area now that it's sparked some interest and the mall scene seems to be cooling off.

Bets on if Firehouse Subs will last a calendar year? It looks awfully quiet in there night after night already. It looks eerily similar to Quiznos at this point. I knew the instant that sign went up that it was going to be a failure. How do people get business loans approved for stuff like that? Or is it based off franchisee payments to the corporate office, so the owner is the only one screwed in the end?

Nimrod Nerds?

Cando still uses that rink for youth hockey. They have 1-2 players most years that still head to DL and join their team. What was Cando back then, the cubs?

I remember that season. Was that the year they had bleached hair at state well before RR started doing that? Under bob gillen? Did he coach, or do you mean you found one team winless on his stat site?

They would be a good fill in if HB dropped out. Although, it looks like they are winless thus far in Jr. Gold this season. Was there legitimate talk of this happening somewhere?

Is this year's HB team possibly one of the worst, if not thee worst Varsity team ND has ever seen? I don't mean to put them down, and I do really hope they bounce back in the coming years...but man oh man, it has been tough to see these scores coming across. They're getting outscored 132-7 in 11 games so far. 5 of those 7 goals were against Rapid City's JV team. 3 of their 11 loses were against JV teams.

Good points. I would be blown away if they don't win the title.

I'll let you watch my dog while I'm at the game. He's nice

Elusive banner? If they hung banners, they would need to spread them out through the Purpur and the Gam to fit them all. Winning in 2010 really doesn't seem that long ago does it? Are you referring to their 2014 title getting robbed by BHS maybe?

any updates on the GFC vs EGF game?
