I completely agree. After the Blaiser's time, including the Big Ralph being built, we pretty much had the pick of the litter for quite some time. Other teams have caught up and passed us as far as recruiting goes. He's hoping all our juniors come back next year and that underclassmen continue to develop. Other NCHC teams will be losing a bunch.

Agreed. At the end of the day....it's better luck next year. That's all it is. Team greatly underperformed but I guess that does happen.

Well I hope so. Where’s he going? Continue to develop, that should be his thought process.

Tough loss. Tough times.

That was stupid

Game

Nice first minute

Every goalie would have let that in.

Learn the game.

Are you kidding me? Learn the game. Nice pass..but poolman has to have guttmans stick there.

That’s nuts

Curious what Bubs is going to say. Denver doesn’t look that good and cc just swept them. This season was embarrassing. Wholesale change.

Shaw’s shot was the best shot of the game.....36 shots later

The plan from the beginning was play not to lose, that’s what happens every time.

F’n terrible

Boys need to start paying wagon wheel hockey, this ultra conservative, play not to lose style of hockey will only be another loss.

Perimeter shots....I’m sure he is. Couple tough saves, a ton of routine ones

Whoa, outside of Th recent Hain chance we stink. This is two of the more boring periods of hockey I’ve ever watched.

Only time will tell. I'm just saying that if I were Bubs....I'd keep throwing him out there. Especially on the PP.

Need to play good this weekend. Should be a fun series (hopefully). Need some luck. I've been really curious with the JJ situation. He didn't score like many thought he would, but it would be great to have another upperclassmen out there. Very interested with what's really going on. Either a mental thing or injury. If he got into a bad situation or some trouble he would have been booted.

Bingo. Problem is, current setup requires them to leave home. Which is nuts considering they can field one team and complete with top MN and Canadians teams. They do it at the bantam level. Many of kids all went you central and you saw no one could remotely compete with them.

We'll have to agree to disagree. You can slice and dice the pie to create more parity around the state however all you are doing is watering down the league. Good players like to play with good players, it adds in a layer of creativity and growth. I get that creates problems for the rest of the state. That's the only reason I think they should explore Tier one. So our better players can play better competition and continue to develop. I mean, I would have loved to see central's team play against Edina.

Which is exactly why I think GF/Fargo has to create some sort of Tier 1 option. You create more high schools or teams to balance things out because other, smaller, towns, obviously can't compete. All this does is water down the overall league and make things more fair to the smaller teams; it creates parity. Which is great for the smaller towns (and definitely should happen) however what about the high end kids? They are now playing in a worse, less competitive league (which could not complete against better MN communities). Yes, I think parity should be the focus for ND high school hockey, however there has to be some other local options for the higher end kids as well. Which includes better coaching (i.e. Grant P.).
