I've watched EP play roughly 4-5 times this year. An all GF team would easily have a chance if they could contain Middlestadt. They would smoke Moorhead. Actually other than Middlestadt and Lieverman, they really arent that good. I actually think they'll get upset at some point during the tourney.
Ok I started this topic....I was joking. Clearly in high school sports you cant cross state lines. i just like what was done with bantams, creating one team and playing a MN AA schedule. It would be cool to see high school age kids get to do that.
An all GF team would be better than Moorhead. I just looked at similar opponents and the grand forks teams had similar scoring margins and that's looking at GFC and RR separately.
I grew up in GF so I am very well aware of A hockey (and respect it more than most). However, there is a very large gap between AA and A MN hockey.....from a depth perspective.
I only brought it up because it would be interesting to see what an all GF team would do in a AA MN schedule. I think they would be pretty dang good.
Yeah, no one in the cities really respects the A conference much. I say combine them and play AA. EP, Edina, Wayzata all have one team. Those schools are much larger than RR and central combined.
That's right. I came away so distrought from that one that I thought it was first round.
Either way, the point is that 1 seeds have lost to 4th seeds quite a bit.
Berry always has a great idea of who is leaving. I'm guessing the Schmaltz departure threw him for a bit of a loop as he was pretty much coming back....until the CHI trade happened.
