So you agree that the game should be intense then.....

I think South should win too and they have the better team. But so did Grafton.... But the question is have YOU watched a North/South game? North always shows up to play South, I believe for the last two years North and South tied their last meetings in those years even though South had the better team. Yes South has beat them like 6 - 0 (or somthing like that) twice this year but you never know what can happen in a Rivalry game, especially in the play-offs.

NORTH WINS!!! What an upset!!! Bombenger (spelling?) get the game winner

Going to the second OT!

grafton gets a goal called off for a man in the crease, and then they get a penalty for unsportsman like.

Milller got one of Graftons and Demaris got one of Norths. I'm not sure who got the others.

Grafton and North going to overtime, 2-2.

he's at Omaha of th USHL.

I think the best game of the day will be the Central/West Fargo game. Central has been playing well lately, aside from the South game and West Fargo beat Central twice by one goal each time. I might have to get there to watch that one. I do wish it was at the Ralph though, its a great place to watch hockey.

I don't think playing games two nights in a row is going to make a difference. They play 3 games in 3 days in the holiday tournament and both EDC and State. If they can't handle 2 games back to back...

South 4 North 0. Typical South/North game, got pretty chippy. I thought very poorly officiated, inconsistant calls. They kinda lost control of the game. I didn't hear what the final shots were, but it was 28-8 after 2 periods.

I agree. It is a big jump to D 1 from high school. I also think that there more players in N.D. that could play at that level, IF GIVEN THE CHANCE! That's the biggest obstacle for most of the area players. There are so many really good hockey players especially in Minnesota that it is very hard to get noticed. Unless they can compare a player against great competition, the may not want to "take a chance" on a North Dakota kid. The junior route is one way to show your skills, but you run into the same problems as D1. They look at the Minnesota kids first. Its not fair but thats the reality of the situation, although it may be getting better. With the development of the Elite leagues in Minnesota which gives ND kids a chance to play against the top players from Minnesota, they are able to show that they can play at that level. As an earlier post stated, Weisgarber led his team in scoring that included Christian from Moorhead. I believe they played on the same line. Also, Erik Galt led the defensemen in scoring .... for the WHOLE LEAGUE!!! , ahead of some D1 signees. I would assume that they are getting some looks from the Junior teams, but I don't see them being mentioned in any of the D1 recruiting threads. To me, that's disappointing. They are outperforming others on the ice, but not getting the same consideration. End of rant!

Please ignore my last post He who shoots top shelf, i miss-read the part of AT STATE. My apologies.

Grafton was the second seed last year, this year they will be the third.

Yes Central has the tie break over north becasue they beat them twice. The only way Central could get bumped out of 5th is if North beats South, and South beats Central... but i just cant see North beating South. If North was to beat South, with a Central loss to South and a WF loss to Jamestown, then North has the tie breaker over WF for the 4th seed. Then Central would be in 6th. I believe this is correct but if it isnt please feel free to correct me. One more question, does Shanley have anymore conference games?

Wow another nice win for Central. RR and South must be a little more relieved now because neither of them have to play Central first round. Too bad for WF, Central is on a hot streak right now after a disappointing start to the season.

Thank you so much for that information, your answer is very appreciated!

Wow that is a VERY good win for Central and ND! Maybe Central is coming around and could be a threat come EDC and State time. On another note, how did Whapeton score on Eli? or was another goalie playing?

First of all yes you can say whatever you want but if you want to keep looking like an idiot and want noone to listen to you then keep making these posts. And second who really cares where people are from, i know im not sitting here trying to figure out who is from where.

If i remember right i believe only Brehmer and Luecke were.

anybody have a score from the North/Shanley game this afternoon?

I was looking at Gillen's site and decided to look at penalty minutes for the teams in the state. I was wondering if there was any coorelation between penalties and records. One would think the top teams would have less penalties than the bottom teams[more power plays and less time shorthanded]. For the most part that is true. South is the least penalized team in the East, second only to Williston in the State. Jamestown and Whapeton have the most penalty minutes. What was surprising is Red River is just behind those two. I wouldn't have thought one of the leading teams would be that highly penalized. In the west, Williston and Minot are the least penalized[kind of a change for Minot compared to last year!] Any thoughts or comments?

GF Central 4 North 2.

BHS over Hazen 2 - 1 South over Jamestown 9 - 0 DL over Bottineau 6 - 1

What happened to Spies and do you know how bad it is?
