I guess I didn't realize there was a curve that may have hindered his view. With 5-6,000 people packed tightly together it just seems like it'd be easy to see but if there was a curve right before that could be part of an explanation. The protestors were peacefully protesting and even after the incident some helped protect him. A lot of places around the country that guy doesn't get out of that situation alive. It sounds like the police knew where they were going with this march and were alright with. Needed to do a better job of making sure drivers were getting off the road though.

The real answer is he should have exited the interstate when they decided to close them and avoid the whole situation. This was a very peaceful group that was just marching down the road. Don't know where you get "thugs" from. Someone comes blasting in at 70-80mph causing people to dive all over the place and I'd probably have the same reaction as those protesters.

I’m a big fan of The Purge too especially the TV series but I won’t be out doing that. Was thinking though a lot of scenes across the country have looked right out of the show.

Watching those videos it’s hard for me to believe he didn’t see the protesters. I don’t know how much harm he intended or whether he just figured I’m in a big truck they’ll move. Thankfully the protesters reacted quickly and most people got out of the way. Of course they weren’t coming to shake his hand. These protesters almost lost their life because of a careless idiot, that truck drivers lucky those protesters stayed peaceful and he’ll get jail to me instead of being dead.

Some interesting stuff in this thread.

These Boojahideen guys seem like trouble. Apparently out of New York?

There were like 5-6,000 protesters there all bunched together. He could've slowed up before he did. I don't know if he intended for injury or just thought they'd move. After stopping he does try to flee again but protesters jump on the truck and stop him. He does lay on the horn but man watching a cell phone video from someone on the side of the road he was coming very fast. Thankfully doesn't seem like many injuries. Sounds like he was already on the interstate before they closed and he just never opted to exit off. Police were aware of the march and that is why they decided to close the road at 5 instead of 7 earlier in the afternoon. Was a very peaceful and well planned march and seemed even coordinated with law enforcement.

Sounds like the truck was already on the interstate before it closed and just kept coming instead of getting off at one of the exits. It was a peaceful march they had come from U.S. Bank Stadium and they had just kneeled down for a moment of silence.

The road had been closed for an hour. Hope the crowd got their hands on that truck driver. Such a stupid decision by him.

Man Walz is a clown. Gotta think a lot lawsuits are gonna be thrown at him from gyms, restaurants, etc. soon if they haven't already especially after seeing how it worked in Wisconsin.

Still gotta wait until at least June 1st to get my hair cut though. Bars, restaurants, barbers/salons, and gyms are all until at least June 1st I think.

Walz is really bad about that. Just did it again yesterday banning graduation ceremonies for schools whether they were indoor or outdoor. Sure it might make sense for a class of 500+ at Eden Prairie but even then I think you could find ways to do it like having a few separate ceremonies on different days. How does it make sense though for a class of 20 in somewhere like Hallock?

Pitino needs to have a good year this next season. He has had ups and downs here and dealt with a lot of bad luck. He is liked by most of the fan base at least compared to previous coaches and has a good relationship with Coyle. He really is a great guy off the court but in the end you gotta produce and the injuries, suspensions, real close losses type reasons only buy you so much time. The main reason Jeter took the Western Illinois job was just that he wanted to be a head coach again. A lot of people questioned why he'd go to that situation and how he'd have to take a pay cut and how will he be able to move up from there but he really just wanted to run his on program again.

He is a 2022 kid that is gonna have his pick of schools in either sport. I really can't see him playing both sports and I'm not sure which one he will pick but right now I'd lean towards basketball slightly. He'd look good staying home and being a Gopher.

Nice to have some good news after a miserable few weeks. Really liking the look of the roster so far. Some proven production up front, very talented D group, and two goalies who have seen a good amount of time. I think my lineup would look like this right now. Mismash-Adams-Kawaguchi Hain-Pinto-Gaber Weatherby-Senden-Ness Keane/Rizzo-Blaisdell-Caulfield Kiersted-JBD Kleven-Bast Sanderson-Frisch Scheel Thome

The trial was in like 2011 so I'd say this has been an official rule in Minnesota for the past few years at least. I'm sure if other states wanted to they could put the rule in place but many other states just follow the NFHS rule while Minnesota uses a modified version.

Hill-Murray really looks like they are gonna pull this off up 4-1 with 6 minutes left. EP was my pick to win AA but I wouldn't have been surprised with Blake. Hill though that is definitely a surprise to me.

Hermantown has both bantam and peewee AA & A teams and their bantam AA team is in the state tournament. If you are gonna do that at the youth level then step up at the high school level. Mahtomedi has been to state a ton but this is their first championship so I guess I can see why they are still in A although their bantams also play at the AA level.

From what I found reading the rule online it reads like the play was legal to me. Looks like it was changed in 2011 https://legacy.mshsl.org/mshsl/publications/code/athletic/Hockey.htm Minnesota Goal Crease Rule: The NFHS Ice Hockey Rules Committee has approved for use in all games played in Minnesota an experimental rule relating to goals scored when a player is illegally in the goal crease. This rule will count those goals which are scored when an offensive player or player's stick is illegally in the goal crease but, in the opinion of the referee, the player or stick illegally in the goal crease had no impact on the goalkeeper's ability to defend the goal when the puck entered the goal. A player illegally in the goal crease impacts the goalkeeper's ability to defend the goal when: 1. The player makes physical contact with the goalkeeper; or 2. The player prevents the goalkeeper from moving freely in the goal crease; or 3. The player screens the goalkeeper or otherwise interferes with the goalkeeper's ability to defend the goal, even though no physical contact is made with the goalkeeper.

Today was nothing compared to what Cathedral did to him yesterday. He got crosschecked and slashed pretty much non-stop. I don't know what his plan is but he doesn't need a whole year of juniors next year. If I'm Duluth I'm bringing him in next season and he will contribute.

Hmm knew that used to be the rule but thought they changed it, having been to 6-7 different 8A games this year they sure don't call it like that. You'll see a guy with two skates right on top of the crease barely in the blue on a lot of powerplays but they only blew the whistle like twice in the games I was at this year and one the player backed into the goalie knocking him down and the other the guy slashed the goalies stick out of his hand. There would of been tons of backlash around the state and on social media if they waived the goal off, the only ones who may have supported it were probably Mahtomedi fans. Good to see everything ended up working out though with Mahtomedi winning on a nice goal and no controversy involved.

Mahtomedi's magical run ends in 3-2 OT Championship win. Their goalie is absolutely the mvp of the tournament. They're down 2-1 with about 5 minutes left in the quarters against Delano and Delano was playing good defense. Mahtomedi had a lot of shots but not great chances and really had nothing going and then boom they get 3 goals in 2:30 and add a empty netter at the end as well. Nobody really thought they had a chance against Warroad and they take advantage of every opportunity they got in that game and also Warroad's goalie having a bad game and their goalie playing outstanding again. Then today they took advantage of their opportunities and their goalie was huge. Feels weird but this is Mahtomedi's first championship after a ton of heartbreak in the semifinals.

There is no way you call that. Had nothing to do with the play. State would've gone absolutely crazy if they called that no goal. You sure that is the crease rule? I thought they follow the college/NHL model in Minnesota where as long as you aren't interfering with the goalie and aren't parked in there forever you are alright.
