    Looks to be Central vs. South-Shanley and Red River vs. West Fargo Friday.

    If Central kept the gas down the entire game they could probably get close today. Bottineau has a pretty good goaltender, but he'll need to be sharp to keep Central under 6 goals. Thrilled to see Bottineau at the state tournament, but know that the inevitable is going to occur with all the talent that GFC has.

    Go to ndhighschoolhockey.com. The guy who does that site put up a full list of links to both boys' and girls' games starting at roughly 4:30 today. On Friday it looks like a full days worth of games starting at 11 AM.

    Five of the six could play in the NHL. Love Bast to death, but probably a minor league career. (Would love to eat crow on that prediction).

    Looks like wday extra channel will play the Central and Red River games. If you don't get that you can watch on inforum.com I believe. Out west the Minot-South/Shanley game is on prostyle production network which you can get online or on youtube. Not sure about Century-West Fargo for TV.

    Prediction time: South Shanley over Minot 3-1 Central over Bottineau 8-1 Century over West Fargo 2-1 Red River over Williston 6-1

    I called one a goal in OT that was super close in a squirt B1 game. Funny how my phone number went around to local parents wondering about my call. Didn't help that there was four guys standing 60 feet away in a corner (we have an Olympic rink) that came into the hallway yelling it wasn't a goal. Now I get texts asking why I don't reff anymore because they are stuck with 12 and 13 year old pee wee kids doing games because its all they have.

    I loved officiating, but situations like these made it easy to step away. You think you're doing the program a favor by doing a 12U girls game at 8AM on a Sunday morning that no other officials want to pick up, and you get yelled at for two periods because two girls had their heads down and ran smack into each other and both sides want a murder charge for the opposing player. Not everyone can officiate a high school hockey game. You've got to be an exceptional skater IMHO. They've made it a little easier with most high school games being four man crews, but you're not always going to be in the right position. Those who critique should register with USA hockey and then find out how most small programs are hurting for officials because most quit within a few years.

    Could not agree more about hockey games in a normal year.. You could go up to the bar areas during a game at REA and ask 100 people the score and I'd bet 60 percent wouldn't know.

    Didn't see any of the game, but my heart bleeds for the stripes when situations like that happen. Being the lead official on the goalie's glove side there is just no human way possible to see the far post. Give him credit for doing his darndest to get into a better position to get a look when the goalie is squeezing the post.

    If there is documentation of this guy showing bias and the NDHSAA let him be a goal judge at a region tournament....sigh....

    That situation is an on ice officials nightmare. One team is celebrating a goal and if you ask Amsbaugh of course it was. Then of course Bismarck will say no way because it didn't look in at all. You didn't see it go in so of course you are asking the goal judge what he saw. Which in this instance he somehow said its a goal. So you call it no goal, and Bottineau is screaming at you that the goal judge turned the light on so of course it was in, and the kid who put his arms up will never tell you any differently. They lose the game in OT, and you are getting all kinds of hate because Bottineau rarely makes state and its your fault. Or you call it a goal because that's what your buddy the goal judge says because he has your best interests in mind and wouldn't dare let you down. Now Bismarck High is livid because that's a disaster way to have your season end in what has already been a disaster year. Naturally there is video of the play with your buddy the goal judge yelling for someone to score before OT. Lose lose situation. Hearing police called to the arena makes it that much better.

    Ahhhh yeah. I mean what could go wrong?

    Jamer getting Abate was worth it. And if you're an Omaha fan and pissed, that'd be like Prpich or Hextall getting slashed and us wondering why.
  16. Wilbur
    Most fight he showed all night was in the penalty box there.
  17. Wilbur
    Send the Omaha guys to the room while the UND guys get to carry their trophy around for a while.
  18. Wilbur
    Just sit down Johny.....goodness...... You expect it from Abate.
  19. Wilbur
    Yep.
  20. Wilbur
    Boy, Johnny gets worked and its 7-1.
  21. Wilbur
    I had to look up who #11 was....
  22. Wilbur
    Thats a goal. 1-1.
  23. Wilbur
    One thing I'm going to miss when the crowds come back is hearing the players talking back and forth. Ohh the profanity...
  24. Wilbur
    Match ups after Central wins. 1W Century vs. 4E WF 2E Red River vs. 3W Williston 1E Central vs. 4W Bottineau 2W Minot vs. 3E South Shanley
  25. Wilbur
    Reff called it no goal on the ice too. I can't believe they'd go to the goal judge there.
