Still Following Hockey Posted February 17, 2008 Posted February 17, 2008 Too bad about DL - They had their chances but just couldn't bury it - Very inconsistant goalie. Good luck next year. Quote
Siouxhockey78 Posted February 18, 2008 Posted February 18, 2008 possible another match between RR and GPR could happen next weekend. Oh baby.... Quote

NDstatehockey Posted February 19, 2008 Posted February 19, 2008 wouldnt it be great if we moved the north dakota border west a view miles so that the red river valley could be in minnesota...so that way fargo, gf, and grafton all played the caliber of hockey they deserve...it would make for a more exciting tournament than just seeing only two teams capable of playing each other in a state championship...im just glad rr and grafton split during the year so it can be a close game...and that way western hockey good join junior gold teams to play at their caliber of hockey...we would keep the sioux of course tho lol my predictions... south over williston - 6-4 grafton over mandan- 5-0 red river over century-8-0 bismarck over north-6-2 red river over south - 6-1 grafton over bismarck- 4-1 grafton over red river-5-4 possibly O.T.

As for this years tourny, i do hope Bismarck wins their opening night game so we can see a GPR and Bismarck match up that would be good for all of the state.......that being said Bismarck still has no chance against a Grafton team at the state tournament! the whole city shows up i mean come on Quote

nodak hockey fanatic Posted February 20, 2008 Posted February 20, 2008 South over Willeston 7-1 GPR over Mandan 12-0 Red River over Century 14-0 North over Bismarck 4-3 is willeston near grond ferks? ill give you 5-1 odds none of your scores are even close... bhs beats north, and whs/south will be a close game Quote
nodak hockey fanatic Posted February 20, 2008 Posted February 20, 2008 mr. hockey finalists named... eric meland, fwd, rr ryan ladoucer, def, rr colby rehak, def, whs jared labere, def, bhs i think ladoucer wins it, but four deserving finalists. oh no, two out of the four are from the west, what has the state come to Quote
the riot Posted February 20, 2008 Posted February 20, 2008 In grafton the schools have thursday and friday off just for the hockey state tournaments....one year they tried to have school but no one showed up...they were all at the englstad watching the spoilers play I believe both the Grand Forks schools also have thursday and friday off. My predictions: Thursday Bismarck over North 4-2 Grafton over Mandan 5-1 RR over Century 7-1 Williston over south 3-2 OT Friday Grafton over Bismarck 4-3 RR over Williston 4-1 Saturday Grafton over RR 4-3 OT Quote

I say this because not only is he a very talented hockey player, but also is a very good student. Quote

When i say not that close i mean they'll beat them by fifteen goals Quote
Spoiler92 Posted February 20, 2008 Posted February 20, 2008 North over Bismarck 3-2 G-PR over Mandan 9-1 South over Willy 5-2 RR over Century 12-1 G-PR over North 7-3 RR over South 5-3 RR over G-PR 3-2 Quote
hey_go_sioux11 Posted February 20, 2008 Posted February 20, 2008 North over Bismarck 3-2 G-PR over Mandan 9-1 South over Willy 5-2 RR over Century 12-1 G-PR over North 7-3 RR over South 5-3 RR over G-PR 3-2 Bismarck 5 North 1 If Bismarck loses this game the west should no longer be invited to the state tournament Grafton 6 Mandan 2 Red River 8 Century 0 South 4 Williston 3 Possibly best game of the tournament Grafton 5 Bismarck 3 Chance for Bismarck to prove themselves, but Grafton is just too good Red River 6 South 2 South has a rough game after a battle with williston Red River 4 Grafton 2 red River shows why people have been talking repeat since the clock hit 00:00 last year Quote
NDstatehockey Posted February 20, 2008 Posted February 20, 2008 North over Bismarck 3-2 G-PR over Mandan 9-1 South over Willy 5-2 RR over Century 12-1 G-PR over North 7-3 RR over South 5-3 RR over G-PR 3-2 dont mean to shoot your predictions down...but north is gonna loose to bismarck...i am all for an east raping of the west again but its not gonna happen..grafton beat north 9-0 and 11-1 during the year as you should know...bismarck's only loss is to grafton 4-3 i believe....this kinda like saying a peewee B team is gonna beat a decent varsity team Quote
Tsiouxnami Posted February 20, 2008 Posted February 20, 2008 Bismarck 5 North 1 If Bismarck loses this game the west should no longer be invited to the state tournament Didn't realize that State was an "invitation only" event? Quote

I know he's been playing for Williston for a long time but I mean there's plenty of other candidates that could have taken his spot from the east or even a player such as Andrew Seeberg from Bismarck High who led the west in scoring this year. How does a breakout player like Nick Schaefer from Red River who has 69 points and is second to Eric Meland's 75 not get nominated? Or possibly Jarrett Galbreath of Red River who's also been playing high school hockey for quite some time. Quote

There must be some rule that state not all four finalist can come from one school. haha Quote
