    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.

    Grew up with pops Olsonawski. Same class, freak athlete himself back in the day. Awful situation but that family is amazingly strong…

    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.

    Jamestown looks like a whole different team since before Christmas.

    He always is it’s funny. Sometimes minot people complain because he’s too hard on them hahah.

    WDA: pspnetwork will be doing AUDIO only. Video will be on NFHS Network, which I believe requires a subscription/fee. EDIT: PspNetwork has now been allowed to broadcast with audio and video. They do a good job and it's a free feed. Games start at 11 am.

    Leg-Bis girls made it out of Williston to Minot and had an overnight stay there too. Wasn't nearly as bad as the eastern part of the state but had no travel advised from Minot to Bismarck.

    Damn some good games Tuesday. Girls: GF salvaged a state berth I believe with a 3-2 win over WF. GF gets the gift of 3 WF penalties under 3 minutes to go and scores with 7 seconds to win it. L/B took down Williston 5-4 in OT in what looked like a demolition derby at the Anoka County fair ground. Williston had a 2 goal lead with 7 left and L/B tied it and won it on a clapper from the point. Those 2 teams are tied in points for the 7 seed but L/B swept to hold the tie breaker. looking forward to the rest of the EDC, WDA and girls week the next 3 days.

    Bottineau over Williston to advance to play Minot. BHS showed zero mercy over Hazen 14-1 to advance to play Legacy. Always hard to see seniors play their last game…had Pixellot on last night and the ice was cleared and a Williston kid did not wanna exit, those emotions hit hard. EDC tonight and a couple dandies: Sheyenne at north and Davies at Central will be awesome. If anyone knows a way to stream, please post here. Good night on the girls side: Mandan at Minot, tied at 39 points for the 3 seed. WF at GF, WF I believe will pass Minot/Mandan for the 3 by the end of the season, GF needs a win bad to stay in the race for state. LHS/BHS at Williston, one point apart for 7/8, a game with huge state ramifications.

    WDA play ins tonight. Hazen at BHS, Bott at Willy. Girls hockey: GF, Williston, LHS/BHS and CHS are gonna go to the the wire fighting for 6-7-8 seeds. GF sitting in 6 but they only have 2 games left and that's West Fargo and Davies...not sure if they'll get either of those unless their goalie goes wild. Big tilt on Tuesday night as L/B heads to Williston. Williston up 1 point in the standings but has "missed" 30 points so far on the season while L/B has "missed" 25. This is a huge game for the stretch run. Willy, LB and CHS all have 3 games on the week (CHS has DL in a 6 pointer this weekend), GF only has one this week v WF. This could very well come down to the last game of the season into next week.
  13. Johnny Five
    Well there usually an upset on both sides of the state, will be interesting to see where that falls.
  14. Johnny Five
    WDA is set. Obviously the product isn’t what the EDC is however it’ll be a great tournament. Jamestown Mandan game should be a dandy. Minot v Willy Bottineau winner jamestown v Mandan legacy v bis Hazen winner chs v Dickinson
  15. Johnny Five
    Minot kid tried it last night too. Legacy goalie read it right into his glove and it looked like there were some words exchanged.

    EGF girls player pulled off the michigan last night. https://twitter.com/EGFhockeygirls/status/1623862611170275330?s=20&t=-N4LpgD5qxZK7KHf9iv4sA

    Minot took down Legacy 1-0. Legacy buzzed the 1st and then mustered up an entire 4 SOG total the next 2 periods. Minot beats Mandan on Saturday they get the 1 seed.
  18. Johnny Five
    Kinda odd that WDA and EDC have different formats in that regard. But WDA ADs will go with "travel" as an excuse.
  19. Johnny Five
    A couple good first round matchups and also round 2 and state qualifiers will be awesome to watch.
  20. Johnny Five
    Can’t let off for a second when Abrahamson is on the ice. She’s got 6 goals and an assist this week against EGF and GF. L/B beat CHS 3-1. L/B tendy made some game savers. Tied season series. As I mentioned Earlier GF and CHS play a huge 6 pointer on Friday. The standing shows points won, but what it doesn’t show is points missed and GF has 24 while CHS has 28 so far on the season. That’s a big game Friday. Mandan and Minot in a dog fight for the 3 seed both picked up wins. Looks like Jamestown made Mandan work for it as they typically do.

    I think the best thing about the combined tournaments being in Scheels/FU is the crossover you get between games and even period breaks during the zam. There will be absolutely none of that in Minot. The other major issue is the Girls tournament will be the same weekend as WDA boys and girls hoops, which is a massive draw in Bismarck. Once again, Minot will run a top notch tournament, but the draw and the atmosphere will be something else.
  22. Johnny Five
    Yeah the "conference" thing in MN is odd. Take Section 8...KCC, RLF, Bagley, and LOW are a "conference" but play in Section 8. Warroad, EGF, TRF and Crookston in a Conference with Roseau, Bemidji, Moorhead and some AA teams but also play Section 8A. KCC, RLF then don't play Warroad regular season but turn around and play same Section come playoffs for the early exit. Never really understood the conference thing it's kind of old school before all the Sections I believe. --- Not sure how to handle ND the best. Pulling the Junior Golds up would be ideal for both boys and girls to make some sort of Tier 2 system. Then who knows how to split them from there. Let's be honest the suits in the NDHSAA don't really care about the sport all that much to begin with so I doubt changes will be coming anytime soon. Going to be interesting to see the most recent change - moving girls state to minot - and see what kind of ghost town atmosphere they created with that. No offense to Minot or the facility, but it's going to be bizarrely empty.
  23. Johnny Five
    Hahaha..ya. Would be nice to see both of them in the AA this year for sure.
  24. Johnny Five
    Good matchup. Missed that one on the schedule.
  25. Johnny Five
    If it’s JT and Mandan round 1 at WDA like it appears it might be that will be a fun one.
