  1. Just found out that Welding had 5 points last night in the lost (4g, 1a)...possible mr. hockey candidate this year...he has good credentials with elite league hockey and select teams over the years...he also had like 27 points his soph year..although last year was kinda a down year for him....it is a pretty good start to a year tho.

    Let's not get too excited over one game. If you would have picked Welding out before this game and used this as an arguement then I could see it being ok. But just throwing this out there after one game may be a little risky.

  2. I didn't mean the coaches taught the players to use the stick. They learned from playing against each other. I also am not saying that these were penalty hooking/slashing at least at the time, but now if it is going to be more aggressively called it could be. I think in the east it was taught to use their feet and skate, but along with it came a little clutch and grab. In the west I think a more physical game was taught (more checking) but with that came use of elbows/crosschecks. This is what I meant, sorry for the confusion. As for everybody saying that east teams are better. They have been, and probably will be for quite some time. For the most part they have many more players to choose from that tryout for the team, which means that have more kids pushing each other for the spots. Another thing I know for Grand Forks at least, they have more chances to get on the ice. I think there is 17 outdoor rinks or something like that in the area, and when there is ice there are kids out there. Another thing is that they play MN teams which is a little higher quality opponents which forces a team to get better or keep losing. West teams do not have that option. I do think the gap has narrowed a little in the last few years, but the west still has a long way to go. Just my $.02

    The gap has remaind the same. Look at the first round of the State tournament. That's where it counts.

  3. Top four teams in the east next year.

    1. South, deepest team in the state at the forward position, Danny Wurden will anchor a young but talented group of defensemen, and Deichert will be the best goalie the state has seen since Kasey Moreland.

    2. Red River, the Hulk was pretty much everything to this team, but once they figure how to win w/o him, they will be tough again.

    3. Grafton, three words - Hills, Anderson, Miller. They better put up some gauddy numbers.

    4. Central, Josh Ness got great experience last year and will steal a couple wins up at the Purpur.

  4. In a loss to Team Michigan 4-3, the stats for TND.

  5. When you do say it every year its bound to come true. Like last year.

    It was said the year before last year. It didn't come true. It also "brought a smile to my face remembering" that line that year.

    It'll probably be said again this year. Probably won't come true.

    I'm pretty sure people from Fargo don't say that every year. In '04 they knew they wouldn't win, in '05 they thought they would, and in '06 they thought they would. 1 for 2, that's not bad.

  6. If my memory serves me correctly, and it usually does, JackMickelson replied to your post by saying "It will be different." In my eyes that seems to be a prediction that Fargo South will win and not a GF school. And he was right. Great prediction.

    Thanks guys, I did make that prediction and that prediction did come out to be true. BringDeanBack, this was nothing personal.

  7. South choked, something they are pretty good at. Every year all we hear is South South South. Every year in the championhip, it is Grand Forks, Grand Forks, Grand Forks. This year will be no different.

    Well, BringDeanBack, I guess they proved you very wrong this year. Nice prediction though.
