Central proved again that they are the top team in the state.  Its going to take a goaltending performance for someone to knock them off at the state tournament this year.

I watched bits and pieces of Sheyenne and Davies.  Not often do you score shorthanded on a 5-3 PK, but Sheyenne did.  And they blocked a number of shots on the PK, as they were shorthanded a lot during the game.

Big win for Bottineau at the lumber dome.  Gives Jamestown a path to possibly getting the 3 seed at the WDA tournament.     

As good as shot as any.. Really 2-5 is a crap shoot.

Sounds like Legacy got "Lumberdomed" a bit last night. 

Long bus ride, small ice, questionable calls, good concessions, hostile crowd..... always a possibility to find oneself in a dangerous close game up there, and they have some kids who can score the puck.

Many memories playing at the Lumberdome in the 70's. In 76-77 season they had a team that was as physical as a team can get. I believe they took fourth at state that year. In 78 my junior year we had to get escorted out of the arena as it got a bit out of hand during the game. Oh the memories

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

Jays have their hands full tonight as Minot comes to town 

[Johnny Five]

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?

Grand forks hockey has one team that dominates all year and other turns it on mid January for tourney time

KNOX and that meathead Cunningham usually have a good feed.

Mattern continues his ripper of a season. He might hit 50 goals at this rate, especially if they make state and get 3 bonus games. All as a junior to boot.

Looks like the last time a 50 goal season happened was Bott's Aide in 2013-2014 and Mandan's Bair in 2004-2005 before that, so once a decade. Both with 52. As far as 50 goals in the EDC...no clue. Probably someone in the 90s?

Also, when was the last time there was an active D1 commit playing in NDHSH? Braden Costello from RR when he was already committed to UND played in the 2016-2017 season. Was GFC Grant Johnson committed to Northern Mich during his Senior year or did that commitment come after high school? His SR season at GFC was also 2016-2017.

I think Johnson happened after the season.

Is there an active D1 commit playing in NDHSH now?

Mattern committed to Arizona State.

He's proving to be the real deal thus far. His size might be the only negative, but that certainly hasn't stopped many speedy forwards at the D1 level lately, so not really a major factor. I'd imagine he'll be playing in the USHL somewhere next year.

Thanks.

Whole town showed up at purp tonight

 

gfrr wakes out wjn

[sioux rube]

I think he is saying RR won 4-2 

[Johnny Five]

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.

I'd bet that was pretty epic. That rink was so electric

[SiouxperDave]

A 4 goal lead is the worst lead in hockey when playing Bismarck Century.

 

 

[Johnny Five]

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.

Kilgore has the GF girls on a roll.
