    Brutal to hear.

    I’ve been told nothing but good. Guessing people will continue to move there.

    Got jobs there! The Spuds have a a few from the west side of the RR as well.

    I believe back in the squirt days they had a panzer and schmaltz as well.

    Those DL boys had a some good seasons when they were at the Bantam A level. Small town guy (me) thinks there's something to be said about playing together year after year as well when there's a group that has talent.

    Haven't heard or seen anyone say he's not that good - maybe you the fans you know were drunk lol. See plenty of POd comments and jokes about Brookings. Honestly surprised he isn't getting FBS offers. Pretty normal for fans to get pissed off and emotional over a recruit though, especially when a top one leaves for your biggest rival. Losing him as a recruit does indeed suck, but Polasek has a label as being an excellent recruiter - so with the transfer portal there's plenty of opportunity to someone who is experienced and talented as well.

    The soccer field is actually awesome to watch a game at. Not a bad seat in the house.

    Kinda sounds like it's gonna be Polacek. I believe the portal will get interesting. I also believe it would be the better hire for the long term (let's say 5 years).

    I can't believe that play call. My god. That being said it just felt like Montana was the better team and the Bison somehow hung around. Too many false starts, missed open passes and drops. The runner up trophy goes to Montana this year, and they deserved it today. I don't think either team was gonna stay within 3 of SDSU. Time to see WTF happens with the coaching staff and see how deep they get gashed in the transfer portal.

    Hahaha. I need A cocktail after reading that.

    Some good games to follow the next 3 days: Minot at Legacy. A rematch of last year's WDA championship. 3 horse race with Century at the top of the WDA. Should be a tight game and there's a bit of bad blood between the 2 (tonight, streamed on PSP and BEK). RR at Davies. Saw Davies tossed up 9 on WF Tuesday. (tonight). Central at Sheyenne. Should be a great game. GFC dumped South 4-1 Tuesday while Sheyenne lost a battle to North 1-0. (Friday). North at Davies. (Saturday) EGF at RR (Saturday). EGF and GFC last week was highly entertaining. ------------ The girls is a hot mess, which I guess is a good thing. After a month of play I'd say it's North, West Fargo and Mandan in the top 3. After that, it is quite honestly a shitshow on any given night and there really are no guaranteed wins. And with a statewide league and basically every game on the schedule counting, there's no room for nights off.

    Girls hockey: Jamestown beats Minot 1-0 and Willy 1-0 on a Western swing. Sorlie 70/70 on saves for the weekend. She a great story…

    There's been some serious shootouts this year. Watched the EGF/GFC game on KROX feed, what a tilt that was. No love lost there, that's for sure.
  14. Johnny Five
    Century and Minot with a good old fashioned "who has the ball last" 7-6 game, CHS wins it. Last 2 games on PSP Network have been 6-5 and 7-6.

    When Legacy split, there was a group of parents who pursued the school board and ADs to give kids who go to Legacy an opportunity to play the sport. There was enough kids, and kids were tired of playing for other schools. In fact, the way the lines were, some Legacy kids would be in Math class together and one would be a Demon and one would be a Patriot. At the end of the day, it took away a legit chance for CHS to be legit state title contenders last season and probably this year as well. But more kids are playing... Now on the flip side there were Demon and Patriots fighting the split of Legacy - and it got quite ugly between the 3 groups. Not sure if that's happening in Minot or not...fighting against it or for it....I've been told by a few people up north that their are kids/families that just love the Junior Gold for whatever reason and want nothing to do with HS hockey.

    Program A doesn't cut, rarely has a player quit because they wanna be apart of a program, has a historic successful run... Program B has kids cut, players choose to play JR gold instead (kids cut themselves), is always a solid WDA competitor and to their credit has 2 State Titles but it's rare... Difference between the Bismarck Blizzard and the Minot Magicians is: * One had an Olympian and the rest of the state didn't adapt (hard to adapt to a top 3 all time player)...the state did adapt once she was gone oddly enough but the damage had been done. *Minot is still chasing the East like the rest of the WDA so nobody complains about them. In talking to ADs in the past, they're more concerned with participation - keeping kids in sports - than winning. And at the end of the day, I suppose there's really nothing wrong with that. We all want to grow the game, right? And ultimately a large majority of these kids we wanna see playing men's league someday and coaching and getting their kids involved in the game like the other 99% of us...So yes, it'll water down the west even more, but that happened on the girls side as well and the rest of the state was emphatic about it and now, in Bismarck, it is more difficult to make a 10UA or 12UA team than it is a HS team where it is a participation sport. REGARDLESS of that...Word on the street is that the meeting last night was a "not ready next year yet" vibe.

    Some sort of "informational meeting" for Minot North hockey going down tonight. Be interesting to see what that's all about.....hearing 2 years out still but maybe that's changing.

    Entertaining game with Legacy and Davies yesterday. 6-5 OT win for Legacy. Both teams came back from 2 goal deficits at some point in the game. Fun hockey game to watch. Beasley for LHS with his second hat trick of the week. I think that was the 3rd time in a row those 2 have gone to OT, including double OT at state last year...first time the Sabers picked up the win. Pretty solid start for Kilgore in GF on the girls side, picked up a 3-0 shutout over Minot yesterday too. West Fargo took down Mandan 2-0 yesterday, might have to bump WF up a notch, that's a good win. They'd be an absolute wagon if 4 girls didn't leave town.

    I think sometimes the "Legacy screwed BHS" stuff comes from.....for a long time the old coaching staff was trying to convince administration to CO-OP Legacy kids with BHS kids because the numbers were skewed in CHS favor. So essentially those guys wanted the same CO-OP that eventually came with the Legacy-Bismarck girls program when that started. And at that time...they weren't wrong. That is until there were 40 hockey players sitting in the hallways of Legacy and had enough to start a team. I'd love to rip on BHS but I won't do that. Hats off to the kids and families who stuck it out. There's been so much crying, whining, quitting and transferring from adults the last 3 years it really did screw the program. Much respect to those who are playing just to play the game we love, even though it won't be much fun this season. Bismarck is growing north, and a lot of hockey families are living north for whatever reason. I think if people say playing time opportunities in the future as being important, perhaps some people will head south. There's 700ish kids in the Bismarck Youth program one would think that would be sufficient for 3 HS teams.

    Some good early season match ups this week: In the west, interested in the Mandan at Minot game Tuesday. East has some dandies: RR at North, Sheyenne at Davies, WF at GFC. Non counter to keep an eye on this week would be Davies traveling west to take on CHS and LHS. Girls side I think best games are Davies at CHS, Mandan at WF United and Minot at GF. Not trying to disrespect any teams, this are just the one's that caught my attention. Feel free to summarize if you catch a game this week.
  21. Johnny Five
    Legacy WF decent game today too. WF scored 2 late for 6-4 win. Sabers got some work to do.
  22. Johnny Five
    North took legacy to the woodshed 6-0 and it should’ve been worse.
  23. Johnny Five
    She played the part last night, that's for certain.
  24. Johnny Five
    Guess I gotta add WF to the radar, 3-2 over FN. Legacy gets North and WF this weekend, Century will get WF Friday. A couple good crossover games there. Girls: 2 OT (Davies over GF + Jimmy over LB) games and 2 other 1 G (Minot over CHS + Dicky over Willy games last night. That's the way it'll be this year.

    All I'm gonna say is they've played their best football the last couple weeks with their backs against the wall. Haven't watched sh*t on Montana State but on the right day, they are one of the best in the country, so who knows....No expectations this post season (for me anyway), gonna have to be week to week and see what goes down.
