sioux rube Posted March 1, 2015 Author Posted March 1, 2015 I laugh at all you know it alls. Minot is a good team. They deserve it. 2 in a row for the west. Love it. Quote
Cratter Posted March 1, 2015 Posted March 1, 2015 23 years in the making for Minot....UND hockey trying to tie that same streak. Quote
Hayduke Posted March 1, 2015 Posted March 1, 2015 2 in a row for the west. Love it. Isn't that one of the signs of the apocalypse? Quote
MafiaMan Posted March 1, 2015 Posted March 1, 2015 I laugh at all you know it alls. Minot is a good team. They deserve it. 2 in a row for the west. Love it. I'm glad Minot decided to play the game! Was worried they'd just take the 2nd place trophy after reading some of the predictions in this thread. Quote
Ray77 Posted March 1, 2015 Posted March 1, 2015 I guess I'll eat some crow for my prediction earlier. Congrats to Minot. Sure didn't see that one coming. Quote
darell1976 Posted March 1, 2015 Posted March 1, 2015 DaveK was right that's why they play the game. GFC won it on paper, Minot won it on the ice. Maybe with more western teams winning a state title the exposure to the sport out west will grow. 1 Quote
sioux rube Posted March 1, 2015 Author Posted March 1, 2015 Last night was the best I've seen central play all year. They smashed Bismark physically and the demons laid down. Central also has a better goal tender than Minot. They're out for blood after last year. Central has the better goalie? I think not. Minot goalie MVP of the tourney. 1 Quote

sioux rube Posted March 1, 2015 Author Posted March 1, 2015 Flom from Minot in my opinion should of been senior player of the year. Quote
NewUNDAlum Posted March 1, 2015 Posted March 1, 2015 I don't think anyone thought Minot was the better team but you only need to be better for one night. Do you believe in miracles? Quote
MafiaMan Posted March 1, 2015 Posted March 1, 2015 Sound the alarm! Emergency meeting of the %gobc at 10:45pm! Quote
sioux rube Posted March 1, 2015 Author Posted March 1, 2015 I don't think anyone thought Minot was the better team but you only need to be better for one night. Do you believe in miracles? Far from a miracle. I've seen Minot play 7 times this year. This does not surprise me. 1 Quote
bang Posted March 1, 2015 Posted March 1, 2015 I'm eating a crow sandwich tonight. Shouldn't of opened my mouth about high school hockey. Can't remember who said it but that's exactly why you play the game. Congrats Magi. 1 Quote
SiouxForever Posted March 1, 2015 Posted March 1, 2015 Coach Paranica may want to step down. Great guy, but you have lost two state titles back to back to west teams. Credit to Minot on their win. However, that was horrible hockey. Must have iced the puck a million times. I'm embarrassed by the level of play in that final game for ND hockey. MN high school hockey should continue to laugh at us with that display. Central couldn't score, Minots goalie played well. Central will be contenders next year? Probably and will probably lose again.

Christ, heard this all before when Tony coached. Who are you going to hire? Guys, high school titles are won at Pee Wee and Bantam levels if not earlier. Quote
SiouxForever Posted March 1, 2015 Posted March 1, 2015 Christ, heard this all before when Tony coached. Who are you going to hire? Guys, high school titles are won at Pee Wee and Bantam levels if not earlier. Find better coaching. Tony wasn't that great either. It's not a job for everyone, but the Grand Forks schools haven't had the benefit of good coaches in decades. Some MN high school are a lot more fortunate. Bottom line. And if high school titles were won at the Pee Wee and Bantam level, well, Central should have won tonight, then according to your statement. Quote

Guys, high school titles are won at Pee Wee and Bantam levels if not earlier. The west is getting better. This could be a trend. Not that they will dominate but I can see the west winning every third or even second year or so. Quote
Godsmack Posted March 1, 2015 Posted March 1, 2015 As a Central alum, I'm sorry they lost but I feel really happy and proud for Minot and west schools in general right now. A rising tide lifts all boats, as they say, so this has to be good for hockey across the entire state of North Dakota. 1 Quote
bang Posted March 1, 2015 Posted March 1, 2015 The west is getting better. This could be a trend. Not that they will dominate but I can see the west winning every third or even second year or so. It's happening in every sport. East Wrestling is catching up to the West. Athletes are playing different sports. Quote
tnt Posted March 1, 2015 Posted March 1, 2015 The west is getting better. This could be a trend. Not that they will dominate but I can see the west winning every third or even second year or so. Much like when Grafton pulled upsets, I think you still have the same favorites. When you double up on shots in high school and lose, you tip your hat to the goalie, which got both Central and Red River. Losing guys to juniors has really hurt the talent level playing high school hockey. Guys like Benson, Christian and Morelli, as well as others that think they have to play elsewhere to get noticed has taken away the really top end talent. Quote
Fetch Posted March 1, 2015 Posted March 1, 2015 I've seen some west mite teams the last couple yrs - they are improving big time& Minot is growing big time won't be long for Williston Dickinson & Bismarck to keep improving - Here is a prediction West Fargo will be real good in a few yrs (I have 2 grandsons who will be awesome) Quote
Oxbow6 Posted March 1, 2015 Posted March 1, 2015 I guess I'll eat some crow for my prediction earlier. Congrats to Minot. Sure didn't see that one coming. I'm with you. Thought GFC would roll em. Quote
geaux_sioux Posted March 1, 2015 Posted March 1, 2015 Central played tight tonight. It reminded me of that damn Michigan game from a few years ago. i still think that Minots goalie is aided by their system. He played well but I think people are giving him too much credit. They pack it in and he doesn't have to make very many tough saves. The bottom line is Minot won the game by playing their asses off and keeping central from getting into any rhythm. They earned it tonight, central did not. Quote
