  1. Minot likes to leave a guy wide open back door....scary.
  2. 2-1 Davies now. Sloppy play by Minot and a guy gets a tap in.
  3. A ND school joining a Minnesota league is pretty unlikely. I still wouldn't be surprised to see a AAA midget team with a big time sponsor or a number of big time sponsors get created. 1-1 now Minot and Davies. Can't see either team upsetting Central.
  4. I think a AAA midget team like Shattuck is what GF should do. Have Rydell or Vaaler sponsor them.
  5. Speaking of former players everyone should take a look at Adam Tambellini's +- right now for the Hartford Wolfpack. I mean it's just a number though right?
  6. I remember reading about that accident back when it happened. Didn't put two and two together. Hope he is some day able to leave the hospital
  7. I wondered what happened to him after high school. He was so good at finding the soft spot heading up the ice. Some called him a cherry picker, but I thought he was really good at picking his spots and scoring when he had his chances.
  8. There was no better setting for the state tournament than the old REA. Perfect size facility for the event. The tournament had incredible atmosphere and a real feel to it. The tension in some of those title games there was just surreal. I was at the first ever state tournament game at the new REA. Red River was playing against Bismarck and you could hear conversations people were having from the other side of the rink. It's just too big for ND high school hockey. Especially when the attendance has fallen like it has.
  9. Things that went really well for Minot that year: -Tournament in Fargo. -Devils Lake beating Red River at EDC although they got outshot by like 25 shots. Minot avoided RR or Central first round. -As previously mentioned.....unreal goaltending. 98 shots-95 Saves -Fargo South Shanley kid taking a five minute major in the third period with them up 1-0 in the semifinals. Minot scored twice on that power play, tacks on empty netter, wins 3-1. -Central absolutely rolling through Bismarck High in the other semifinals. Think they thought that was the title game. You are right, Minot has sent much better teams to the state tournament, but that team found a way to win three 2-1 games in three days.
  10. I was owed that for 23 years or something like that of losing in the first round.... Minot got an incredible draw in 2015, and had a goaltending performance in all three games that was nothing short of heroic from the Effertz kid. They played a perfect game against Central, and probably lose 9 out of 10 times to that Central team. If they manage to get by Davies I don't think history will repeat itself in Fargo.
  11. You said exactly what I've been thinking about Pogo. I thought he could be a 20 goal scorer this year. If Jost stays he is the captain. If not he will make his NHL debut next year with what the avs have.
  12. I've never been so heartbroken leaving a hockey game as I was in 2003. West Fargo scores two goals from below the goal line against my beloved Magi to win in OT. Add to it that Minot missed a gaping wide open net in the closing seconds of regulation. It was all my roommate's girlfriends fault because she said "shutout" late in the game with Minot up 1-0. The hockey gods showed up and West Fargo scored literally 10 seconds later, and the curse of the first round loss lived on for Minot.
  13. Yes. Although we haven't had an all GF final for 12 years.
  14. Three of the four games have the chance to be pretty good. Depends on which Century shows up. The one that lost to Jamestown or the one that took down Davies. Central wins easily, Dickinson will fight tooth and nail, but doesn't have the guns to play with Central (who does besides RR and BHS) Ill take Davies playing a home game over Minot. Should be a good hockey game. Ill take Bismarck over DL in a neutral setting. Red River over Century. Could be a good game, could be 8-1.
  15. I'm starting to think a couple starts against UND might have elongated my goaltending career.
  16. Give you twenty bucks a ticket right now for Fargo regional. Take it or leave it!!!!
  17. Member Tampa? Member Drake? Ohh I member Tampa....
  18. Central wins in OT 4-3. Part four next Saturday night at Scheels arena. State tournament schedule: Central vs. Dickinson Minot vs. Davies Bismarck vs. Devils Lake Red River vs. Century
  19. I was at that title game at the old REA. One of the best goaltending performances in tournament history by the South goalie.....Last name was like Berm or Burm, something like that. Jay Panzer was unreal for Central.
