  1. Gross atmosphere of course for game 1. BHS girls have been locked down in the BHS gym since 10 am. Were supposed to be just pulling into Minot right now.
  2. Guessing that's pretty close to how it will play out SiouxperDave. The Minot/WF game will be a battle of goaltenders. I'm a Legacy old man...the girls will have to play damn near perfect with top notch goaltending to beat Mandan. If I had to pick a team to win it today it is indeed Davies. Should be a great tournament.
  3. Yeah I saw WFAA Bantams in Bismarck. Highly skilled. Smaller bodies with speed and motors. Off-season may be full of "who's sticking around for HS hockey in ND" rumors.
  4. Pretty sure it's the same coverage as the boys. No PSP with audio feed it doesn't look like. And based on the schools that are there and with hoops going on all over the state I highly doubt there's gonna be any radio stations there.
  5. Hey I don't blame them. GFC was here in December and beat CHS by one whole goal and Paranica was quoted in the paper talking about enjoying coming out West and how he's a proponent of ND hockey and it's good for the state.....ahhhh....whoops, nevermind. But like I said, I don't blame them, and geography for the WDA is and will always be enemy one. Guessing what goes around comes around regarding other sports...however this is a hockey thread so none of us probably care, not that there's ever much cross over between the 2 school districts.
  6. You probably could've picked that one last February after watching State. I recall thinking neither South or RR was losing much. Guessing 2023-2024 will be a little more difficult to project. I'm not as familiar with the EDC but in the WDA the Patriots and Sabers return most of their main pieces, they both could take another step if the off-season work is put in....Minot loses 8 seniors (I think), Mandan returns their main core losing 3 SRs, and the way Jamestown improved this season I wouldn't be surprised if they're there again - although they lose a lot of scoring and their tendy who is legit. I imagine the EDC will be a bitch again. Rumor at the rinks is that the GF schools said "no more" to Bismarck schools. Unfortunate with the teams CHS and LHS have the potential to return, however hard to blame GF either. Geography is the west's bitch.
  7. Probably close to a EDC/WDA type tournament if WF adds a team.
  8. Statewide league they just take top 8.
  9. Girls State tournament is set. Davies v Century: I think Davies may be playing the best hockey in the state right now. Minot v WF: Battle of 2 of the best goalies in the state. This one is a toss up. GF v North: North a better team. Have 2 real smooth FR D that are fun to watch. GF hasn’t been playing great the second part of the season but the goalie can keep them in it. Mandan v Legacy-Bismarck: Mandan swept 5-3 and 6-1 early. L'B playing well the past month. Should be a competitive game but the Braves get an edge. It's gonna be tough to beat the boys tournament, but the way the girls season has gone it could certainly happen.
  10. Great state tournament. Great championship game. Great season. Sad to see it come to an end. Couldn't write a better story than Olsonawski with what his family went through. Regarding the Fargo/GF thing...As a fan, I've always favored Fargo. My son was in Fargo last year and GF this year with the Sabers and when he got home this weekend he said "I wish it was always in Grand Forks." For whatever that's worth...
  11. I believe Streamed only like yesterdays consolation games
  12. West competed well this year. However rink rumor has Minot splitting off into 2 after next season. Perhaps that’s the beer talking who knows…
  13. For sure. Really good state tourney so far and this should cap it off real nicely.
  14. He is legit and they do such a good job I would actually pay for that service. Hopefully he does expand I believe that thing could blow up even bigger than it is.
  15. Almost spit my water out on that one...
  16. PSP or BEK streaming it would be the best product we could have, but WDAY comes in with their big dick money and bends them over at the table. It’s unfortunate hockey has to be apart of the entire package.
  17. Looking like the weather is going to be a major issue. This could get interesting.
  18. girls hockey 101 i've come to learn
  19. Boys state obviously going to be fun. Girls side, final week of the regular season. There are 3 teams vying for the final 2 spots to clinch: LHS/BHS, Willston and CHS. Williston and CHS play Tuesday night (weather depending). That is Williston's final game and they NEED it for a chance in the top 8. A lot of moving and shaking can be had seed wise basically 3-8 as well. Final game of the regular season is WF at L/B for 6 points, which could be a massive for a lot of reasons. After being in Minot for WDA this week, they will run a top notch state tournament for the girls. I visited with the Minot AD a little bit, they are excited to host, but apparently the class B girls state tourney is in Minot that same weekend as well as the boys and girls WDA up north in Bismarck. Will be interesting too see the draw.
  20. Grew up with pops Olsonawski. Same class, freak athlete himself back in the day. Awful situation but that family is amazingly strong…
  21. Seems like both conference tournaments have "gone chalk" so far? Hard to imagine that'll hold up.... Should be a good day of hockey in the EDC and WDA. Expecting the folks up in Minot to fill it up this afternoon as well.
  22. Jamestown looks like a whole different team since before Christmas.
  23. He always is it’s funny. Sometimes minot people complain because he’s too hard on them hahah.
  24. That’s pops and son
  25. PSP had 800 viewers logged in during period 2. Good stuff.
