    I think it was a board and then the kid must've said something and he got a 10 too boot (actually the misconduct could've been tacked on with the boarding if the refs deemed it bad enough). PSP guys kinda went overboard on their criticism of the officials the last 5 minutes of the game and postgame, not a good look IMO. HS hockey, not the Stanley Cup, call the game and the action and promote the kids and the awesome coverage/promotion you are giving them.... If the stats on ND HS are accurate, Minot is AVG 13 PIMS a game.

    I saw it happened again last night. Another 1-0 loss, this time to Davies and 42 saves for Sorlie. Abrahamson is Abrahamson, but I Sorlie is giving her a run for SR Athlete of the year with the saves numbers she's putting up.

    Yes that's Morelli. He's had complaints from Minot fans for being hard on their own team before lol! He calls it like it is, whether it's Minot or their opposition....good or bad. Minot had Legacy on the ropes last night, Miller won that game for them. Legacy hung around and got a timely goal to tie it up and then it got a bit controversial at the finish, which unfortunately, took a bit away from the game itself. These 2 teams got into it during the jamboree this year and with the way the 2 matchups have played out, if they go round 3 in WDA it will be must watch.

    Red River and GFC playing tonight is the highlight game of this week. You can view this game by going to www.knoxradio.com and click on the Sports Link then click on the KNOX Live Sports Link. Ryan Cunningham and Ryan Kuntz will have the Play-by-Play with the Pre-Game at 7:00 pm and face-off at 7:30 pm Legacy at Minot on PSP Network. Also Davies and North. Plus WF and N/S on the girls side. Some juicy battles this evening.

    She has a great release. Pulls the trigger quickly, accurately and with deception. Going to be fun to follow her into the MIAC. Yes I agree. West Fargo, Jamestown, GF and Minot are in the best goalie situation in the state. Unfortunately for Minot, they are struggling to get into the top 8. Apparently Mandan has pitched 4 straight shutouts as well.

    Jamestown Sorlie with another 50 save night as the Blue Jays lose in a shootout to North/South 1-0. She has to be in the running for SR Athlete of the year with Abrahamson at this point. Devils Lake also took down #1 West Fargo 2-1. Wild season continues. Some matchups to look forward too this weekend if the cold and wind don't cancel: GFC at WF, North at RR (Friday) GFC at Legacy, Minot at North (Saturday). Some potential cross over games on Thursday night at state here.

    Wonder how many games will get whacked this weekend due to the....cold weather.

    Maybe not a lot of interest in girls hockey here but it's just a sh*show right now. GF swept N/S on the season. On Saturday, GF was in Bismarck and put up 13 SOG total on Legacy/Bis (won 3-2). Travel to Fargo last night and beat N/S 5-1 to complete the season sweep. Jamestown (currently sitting 8) has now taken WF (currently sitting 1) to OT in both games this year....all the while losing to Devils Lake 7-1 a few weeks ago. The final 5 weeks is going to be an absolute mess for spots 6-7-8 to get into the state tournament.

    Brutal to hear.

    I’ve been told nothing but good. Guessing people will continue to move there.
  11. Johnny Five
    Got jobs there! The Spuds have a a few from the west side of the RR as well.
  12. Johnny Five
    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.
  14. Johnny Five
    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.
  15. Johnny Five
    The soccer field is actually awesome to watch a game at. Not a bad seat in the house.
  16. Johnny Five
    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).
  17. Johnny Five
    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…
  21. Johnny Five
    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.
  22. 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.
