thinking the same thing. it's getting really bad

heading to 2nd OT

Wow, I actually feel bad for MSU. It looks like MN sent out the football team for OT.

Not sure where to put this and I didn't want to start a new thread for it......... Oshie will not play for the Blues when his season at the University of North Dakota ends, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Because Oshie is 21, the Blues would burn an entire season toward his rights if he played one NHL game this season. A more likely scenario would see him sign a professional tryout contract, finish the season in Peoria, and then sign with the Blues in the summer. Barring any unforseen incidents, Oshie is expected to be in a St. Louis uniform next season.

I have no clue. It's North Dakota basketball. I honestly couldn't care less and couldn't name one team. I'm sure it's an exception to the "rules" and not the norm.

Ok, so 1700. Edina is over 47,000. Who is pack the excel with fans? Bigger school = Better attendance

I thought the same thing. In years past, I was glued to the TV and did everything around the game times. This year, I found myself catching up on work and doing things around the house with the games in the background. The games just weren't exciting. Most didn't even stay close. I would have rather watched Mankato West and Little Falls. The announcers couldn't decide if it was Willie Paul or Paul Willie and if he played for Duluth Marshall or The Marshall School of Duluth. Jeremy Hahn was Jared Hahn and the list goes on. I'm definately sick of hearing..... You can't score unless you shoot. Goal scorers know how to score goals. You can't score without your stick on the ice. That would have went in if he didn't stop it. Probably the worst overall tourney that I can remember.

I agree that you do have towns like Warroad and Roseau that turn off the lights and follow the teams(although I was told the qtr final turnout for Warroad was awful), but you get my point. If almost the entire town of Warroad goes, what's that 800 people? STA seemed like they had about 1000 students.

Regarding the attendance and how it should be one class........ Teams like Roseau are certainly not the norm and you can't expect the smaller schools to compete with the big schools. Hibbing knocked off the defending state champs and were leading Marshall late in the section final and let it slip away. If Hibbing played a AA team like Edina they would lose 10-0. I think it's great that smaller schools jump up to take on better teams, but it's sad when top programs tear through Class A, such as of maybe STA. This is a year that the AA champ isn't exactly the best team in the state. STA gave up the tying goal to Hill Murray with like 8 seconds left and lost in OT. The Cadets are stacked and that's without Anders Lee and Jordan Schroeder on the team. It's almost pathetic what they did in the tourney. To answer the question asked earlier, Lee is uncommitted and may go the football route. He's a top QB also. But back to the attendance, the answer is 2 reasons. Class A school are smaller, thus having less students and less people from the town to attend the games. Secondly, the AA games get the better time slot on Friday and Saturday and make it a little easier for people to attend.

Rams will win. Ness, Nelson and Landman are too much and Lee is a brick wall.

Joe Gleason and Edina are heading to the title game. 5-4 in OT. Gleason had his 3rd goal of the tourney.

I don't think BC, Ont and Man. apply.

I don't think it's a question. Michigan produces a decent amount though.

Watch Dan Cecka, Tyler Zepeda and Hakan Yumasakler.

Landman adds a shorty for his 4th.

I know that Zach Lehrke has been brought up before, in regards to him wanting to go to UND. I talked to someone a friend in Park Rapids tonight and he said MN has contacted him. PR plays a horrid schedule so I don't know if any offer was made, but he's talked with them.

I've always laughed at the "wait and see label". He got his 3rd, 53 seconds into the 2 period and has 3 goals and 3 assists on the Rams 6 goals. Ness has 2, Nelson 1.

Nothing. They are doing nothing after they leave MN. That's the problem.

My friend sat by a PHX scout at the MN vs WIS game and of course he was watching Wheeler and Turris. He said they would both go right to the big club next year. If that happens or not, we'll see, but that's what he said.

I don't know what you're getting at. They mentioned it before, during and after the game. I heard it at least 4-5 times.

Both of Gleasons goal were amazing. He's got a great career ahead of him.

Yep, he's it.

Agreed. The wife's cousin did something similiar. They should have known what they were signing.

I've heard the same.
