No. At Mandan Tuesday probably toughest game left on paper. Biggest thing v Minot - stay outta the box. They're deadly, in fact according to Gillen's site, operating at 40% on the PP.

CHS-Mandan was a dog fight Thursday. CHS was down one top F that game, then down 2 more against Willy Friday after a hard fought game Thursday. Legacy-Mandan another tough battle. Could've easily gone too Mandan. Legacy relying on depth with 2 guys out. After Minot, the West is wide open. And don't look now, BOTT is in the mix.

It's probably not the Minot - BHS 8-7 championship in 1991 caliber of goaltending/defense though lol.

I don't know but he is worth the price of admission to a HS hockey game in ND, that's for damn sure.

WDA looks like Minot and CHS are going to be 1-2. Jamestown, Mandan and Legacy in a dogfight for 3-4-5, and BOTT isn't too far behind too be honest. Seeding is important for multiple reasons: if you do win the 4/5 matchup you have to deal with Minot in the semis...if you lose the 4/5, then win Friday, the Saturday state qualifier (barring upsets) will be against the loser of the 2/3 semifinal match. Tough game to clinch. Legacy and Jamestown split on the season. Mandan and Legacy play Saturday in a huge game, and Jamestown and Mandan have another one left before WDA, the first one went to OT. All 3 teams have dumped points to during the season to teams they probably shouldn't have...going to come down to the wire.

That kid is electric. Going to be interesting to follow his path into juniors where the sledding is a bit tougher.

Kilgore has the GF girls on a roll.

Was at both of those CHS girls games. They're top line is electric when they get going. Minot completely fell apart in the last 10 minutes.

Minot takes out Legacy 4-1 to remain undefeated in the West. At Mandan probably toughest game left - and that's a tough task for Mandan.

KNOX and that meathead Cunningham usually have a good feed.

Minot continues their terror through the WDA with an 8-2 win over Jamestown. Red River over North 5-1. Is RR figuring some things out or is North on the struggle bus?

As the old boxing/mma saying goes...don't leave the final result up to the judges.

Don't mind a good T myself. Probably should let the coach know you did it though lol.

WF 8-1 over North. Mattern with a hat trick. 8 in a row for the Packers. Minot JR Gold over Hazen 2-1..... Girls: GF has won 8 in a row. Minot has won 8 in a row. CHS has won 4 in a row.

Those of us from out of town would say officiating FOR minot for years.

The kid is a nail gun though. Perhaps he’ll be back.

Mandan lost a key player this weekend to a dislocated shoulder. Senior captain.

I'm gonna go with Minot running the table in the West. Because of the post season draught, maybe the sticks grip a little tight come WDA and their home ice. I just don't feel like anyone in the West can hold them to the 2 or less goals that'll be necessary to beat them. I'll still go with Minot and GFC in the 'ship. But the old adage remains....regular season for show, playoffs for dough. Like Dickinson last year by winning WDA, just need to be at your best come the end of February.

He has never made too many friends doing that job. T'd Peluso up one time in the handshake line. Problem was Peluso didn't know about it until halfway back to Bismarck when his AD called and asked what happened at the end of the game. Had no idea lol.

It's just old hat at this point for us veterans.

Been saying it for years. This organization seems to build from the outside in. Speed, skill and pretty boys. Build from the inside out if you wanna be a contender.

Minot over Davies 8-5. Might be worth a re-watch on PSP.

Bantam AA state in GF the same weekend as HS state tournament as well...3 whole teams at least.

If that's the case, in stand alone weekends, make it the Ralph. If it's going to be a combo girls boys weekend it needs to be Fargo.

If they go to stand alone tournaments, the boys would be just fine going back and forth from GF and Fargo. All games played on the main sheet of ice. Stand alone for girls...attendance will be crushed but whatever...you could have it in GF, Fargo, Minot and at that rate, the VFW1 could accommodate it as well.
