MN Hockey Hub (mnhockeyhub.com) used to be a great resource.  Now it's owned by Star Tribune and you can't see a fraction of the information without paying.  It's making it mostly useless.

Go Spuds!

Go Section 8.

Spuds are a different team with Joey back from injury. Goaltending could be their downfall.

Go any northern team!

Wasn't their goaltending suspect last year as well?

Yes. South of that this year though.

Anybody mention that to the Canadian Mens Olympic hockey team?

OMG... was wondering what happened!  @Wilbur thanks for the tip on https://www.legacy.hockey/ it's amazing!  How old is that website?

In AA- Lotta really good teams are out in the metro power sections.  Seciton 8: I can't see Moorhead not getting there and making a run.  Section 7 making an argument will be surprising, it is weak this year.  Edina vs Wayzata will be a good tilt.  I think Tonka will walk Chan, but you never know.  The Andover vs Centennial match is a shocker that nobody saw either of them going to the dance.

[Oxbow6]

Spuds 4-1 in 2nd

[Wilbur]

Cullen is just on a different level.  Stick handle through a phone booth.

Moorhead goalie jittery but only given up the 1.  Can see why they tried to pluck a WF goalie.

Spuds look like they are headed to state and based on other results they could end up seeded highly. 

[Wilbur]

Gentry knocks off Hill-Murray.  Edina scores a goal like I've ever seen before and beats Wayzata.  Moorhead punches their ticket moments ago.

Lots of tight games right now.  Hibbing on upset alert at Amsoil. 

[Oxbow6]

Spuds with the chance to repeat at the G Spot.....5-1 winner.

Let's not forget Cullen is still only 15.

[Wilbur]

Gentry and WBL with semi upsets which leads me to believe Moorhead is all but assured the #2 seed and if Tonka was to lose they'll be the top seed next week.

[nodak651]

Holy crap!  Stillwater lead WBL the entire 3rd and WBL scores with goalie pulled - then they win it 30 seconds into OT!
Winner by Nash Roed.

A guy that works for me is from Detroit Lakes.  I'm told its been 30 years since they made state.  They will literally have to slay the dragon to get there tonight.

They have a good goaltender.  He will need to make 40 plus saves for them to win tonight.
