star2city Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 The spelling errors, the irreverence, the attitude, the hockey knowledge. Is it just me or does anyone else think that soohockey15 may be Siouxrock's love child? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Either that, or the GF school system has had a dramatic drop in standards since I left.

star2city Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 As someone from Grand Forks, I would have thought there would be a little more humility from some of the GF posters on this thread. A school like Red River, with the numbers of youth playing hockey in its district (and the relative affluence of their parents), should be absolutely dominating in the region, not just in North Dakota, but in Region 8 in Minnesota. Yet annually they struggle to beat a school 1/4 the size of it: EGF. The question that should be asked, in my mind, is: why can’t GF schools be annually competitive with much smaller schools like Roseau and Warroad? As far as the West being weaker than the East: certainly that is true. But isn’t that more a function of depth than top-line talent? Even the GFC players stated they upped their level of play to the best they’ve been, and without an unlucky goal, Bismarck could have beaten Red River. Teams with players that can sleep in their own beds (GFC, GFRR, GPR) will perform better. Arguably, the only “deserving” eastern team that is not at state is Fargo North. Here’s a ratings service at USHSHO.COM Of the top 8 rated hockey teams rated by this system (which includes strength of schedule), seven of the teams are at state.

WWPKD Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 I see Bismarck High and Williston winning today. Williston is at least excited to still be a part of a state tournament, the Minot kids don't give a $hit. I bet if you talked to a majority of the Fargo North players they would be thrilled to be still playing hockey, the Minot players need a reality check.... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> i think u should stop focusing on the LOSERS bracket and talk about the games that matter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoteauRinkRat Posted February 26, 2005 Share Posted February 26, 2005 It should be a fun game to watch. The GFC / Red River matchup is always a fun game to see whenever they play, but really exciting when its for the state chamionship. Marto has continued to impress me.

BringDeanBack Posted February 26, 2005 Share Posted February 26, 2005 If you have Minot going to the final then 5th is the best that Central could do. You heard it here first, it will be an all Grand Forks final with RR barely edging out Central. Minot can't win a title unless they face another West team in the final, which won't happen again until Halley's comet shows up the same year that the Vikings win the SuperBowl. South won't win because they are too arrogant and full of themselves. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> God I love it when I am right. If South's motto last offseason was 46 seconds, I got a suggestion for the coming offseason, how about 102 minutes? That is how far away they were this year. They are actually getting farther and farther away from their goal. Red River was clearly the better team tonight. I counted three posts by Red River. That game could have been 5-0 after the first period. Though I suppose that DaveK will think that they were all fluke goals by Red River. Apparently anytime someone scores a goal against South it is a fluke. South may have some good hockey players but there is one thing that they will never have, TRADITION. You can run as many kids as you want through the Flyers or Raiders youth programs, but the bottom line is once you get to the high school state tourney, it is all Grand Forks. It always has been that way, and it always will be that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marto has continued to impress me. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> i think this is what went down: there was a scrum in front of the net in which souths #14 Grant Larson(a very impressive player) started hacking or pushing RR goalie eric Olson. Cory Cink the savage that he is decides he doesnt like that and wants it to stop so he proceddes to throw him down by the head and his helmet falls off and head hits the ice. at this time Larson gets up and apparently tries to spit on Cink and they get into a shoving match. after its over helmetless Larson starts freaking out, banging his stick on the ice and yelling obsenities. a lot of emotion in that game and which made it fun to watch. Great High School hockey good luck tomarrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soohockey15 Posted February 26, 2005 Share Posted February 26, 2005 eric olsen just proved himself as the best goalie in the state tonite. he outplayed mclean so bad tonite it was sick. tomrrow nite will showcase the 2 best teams in the state, no doubt. when it comes to tournament hockey, grand forks teams know how to win.
