Ray77 Posted February 24, 2007 Posted February 24, 2007 Grafton leads 1-0 after the 1st period. Quote
ND_Transplant Posted February 24, 2007 Posted February 24, 2007 I'll risk sounding stupid here and ask a question. What's with the 17 minute periods? I could understand 15 minutes or 20, or maybe even 18 minutes. But what is magical about 17? 17 x 3 periods is 51 minutes, that's not exactly a nice round number either... Quote

I'm not sure why 17 - not sure if they though 20 was too much and 15 was not enough??? I believe Minnesota went to 17 min periods a year or two before ND. I, for one, think they should play 20 minute periods. Quote
Ray77 Posted February 24, 2007 Posted February 24, 2007 1-1...South with a PP goal with 10:00 to go in the 2nd. Quote
NDSUFREAK10 Posted February 24, 2007 Posted February 24, 2007 I like how it is a one sided view of the fans. You would think that there weren't any SOUTH students or fans there. Let's get the camera off of GPR and get some time for the South Side. Quote
ND_Transplant Posted February 24, 2007 Posted February 24, 2007 1 - 1 after 2 periods. Sounds like another good one. Grafton has lost in OT the last 2 years in the semis at state. Last year to RR and the previous year to Central. Quote
puck71 Posted February 24, 2007 Posted February 24, 2007 I'm not sure why 17 - not sure if they though 20 was too much and 15 was not enough??? I believe Minnesota went to 17 min periods a year or two before ND. I, for one, think they should play 20 minute periods. I can only assume that's the reason - I think they were at 15 minutes before and thought that jumping all the way to 20 was too much to do at once. I would think eventually they'll get to 20 minute periods to match (as far as I know) every level above them (juniors, NCAA, NHL) but they didn't want to do it all at once. Although maybe they shouldn't have high schoolers playing the same amount as the NHL. I'm not 100% sure about football, but basketball goes from 32 minute games in high school, to 40 in college, to 48 in the NBA. Quote
ND_Transplant Posted February 24, 2007 Posted February 24, 2007 I see there is just a half of a period left. We'd appreciate any updates like penalties, quality shots, etc... Thanks. Quote
Stromer Posted February 24, 2007 Posted February 24, 2007 Turnover in front of the GPR net. South player had a great shot at taking the lead. Quote
puck71 Posted February 24, 2007 Posted February 24, 2007 South has been controlling the puck most of the third period and had a few good scoring chances, but hasn't been able to put any goals in. Grafton has had a couple good chances too. Just over a minute left now. Hooking penalty called on Grafton with 1:09 left. Quote
Stromer Posted February 24, 2007 Posted February 24, 2007 And thats the game. Well at least this means the DL game will start on time. Quote
Ray77 Posted February 24, 2007 Posted February 24, 2007 Great effort by both teams tonight. Looks like Grafton ran out of gas as it was a pretty good back and forth game for the first 2 periods, but South pretty much controlled the 3rd. Quote
dakotadan Posted February 24, 2007 Posted February 24, 2007 That was quite the finish to that game. Too bad it was South that ended up winning. Quote
FlyinSioux Posted February 24, 2007 Posted February 24, 2007 Way to go South. Didn't want GPR in it, look for RR to take the rest. Quote
Lives-to-play-hockey-06 Posted February 24, 2007 Posted February 24, 2007 Did Grafton have a shot in the 3rd period? Wow they got ****** stomped, I don't care what any of you say. Quote

You start your post with a question, then finish with that!?!? If you don't care what people say, better perhaps to write in your diary. It is less expensive. Quote
Ray77 Posted February 24, 2007 Posted February 24, 2007 I see RR decided to all dye their hair canary yellow again this year! Nice work. Quote
Ray77 Posted February 24, 2007 Posted February 24, 2007 1-0...goal RR. 0:55 seconds into the game. Quote

Ray77 Posted February 24, 2007 Posted February 24, 2007 Vigen from RR just had a breakaway...save Groves. Quote
Lives-to-play-hockey-06 Posted February 24, 2007 Posted February 24, 2007 Vigen from RR just had a breakaway...save Groves. That deke was extremely dusty. I expect my alma mater (RR) to pour it on here. Quote
