Minnesota Girls High School Hockey IV

Committing a roughing penalty while on a 5-on-3 PP? Even if the call is soft, players have to know that referees are looking for a chance to even things up if they can, especially as Andover had been called for four penalties during the OTs and none for the Elks to that point. Losing on the resulting PP had to hurt.

Were you there?

The two calls on Andover were not very good, especially the second one on Jamie Nelson. I think most of the fans thought the interference penalty was going to be on Elk River. With two of the best players off for Andover I think there was a bit of frustration on Elk River's part that they couldn't put the puck in the net on the 5-on-3. The penalty on Elk River was the most obvious penalty of the three.

Elk River had a couple of very good chances to win the game in overtime but Andover had so many more and it was really the goaltender for Elk River/Zimmerman that made the game go as long as it did.

Really a fun game to watch as a neutral observer.

No. I was just commenting on committing a penalty while enjoying a 2-skater advantage. Especially something like a rough, that isn't like a hook or interference than can be a good penalty in certain circumstances.

I agree that those section games are often some of the best hockey to watch, better than the state tourney games at times.
 
Re: Minnesota Girls High School Hockey IV

Would love to be at some games tonight just can't swing it. Scoreboard watching anyway.

Best I can find:

6AA Semifinal - Blake leading Cretin Derham Hall 5-1 after 2 periods

3AA final - East Ridge leading Eagan 1-0 after the first period

6AA semifinal later - Edina vs Wazata matchup will be after the Blake\CDH game.

Update:

6AA semifinal - Final score...Blake defeats CDH 7-1

3AA final - Final score...East Ridge defeats Eagan 2-0 to become the First AA team to go to State.

6AA Semifinal - Final Score...Edina defeats Wazata 4-2. Sets up a great matchup with Blake in the section final Friday at 7PM

7A final Proctor-Hermantown defeats Duluth Marshall 3-1 to punch their ticket to State.

Going to watch Andover has proven to be very exciting...

Sectional final tonight with Forest Lake is another overtime game with the caveat that Andover scored the tying goal with about 13 seconds left in the 3rd period and won 23 seconds into the overtime!

That does sound like an exciting finish. Forest Lake has to be crushed, so close.

Jeepers, Mankato has the top scoring F coming in next year, Frosty must have been asleep at the wheel. Great to see the Badger make the top 5.

By your logic so was Johnson as it is not out of the realm of possibility that Wisconsin is in the mix for top Minnesota talent. And knowing that your mostly kidding I would ask if you have even seen this player? I'm very confident you have not. ;)

I found it interesting that exactly 1/3 of her 45 goals were in 3 games. Elk River/Zimmerman seems to have played a fairly strong schedule although I don't really know.

Having seen her in limited viewing I can offer this...

Taller player (about 5' 8") which you would like...;)

Pretty good skater when she gets going but not the quick burst you would like to see.

Her best attribute is her wrist shot. Has some legit zip to it.

In the couple of games I've seen her, she took faceoffs and she struggled a bit there, but I don't know if those were just were off games

Thanks for this. Maybe she'll transfer to the Gophers after her freshman year at Mankato. ;)

Maybe we will get a transfer for next year from somewhere since there are only 3 coming in next year...:)

Ohio State and UMD have some nice prospects that would be ready in a couple of years...;)

Maybe somewhere out east...

She isn't geed enough for WI but good enough for UM.
 
Re: Minnesota Girls High School Hockey IV

I wonder if Blake would like to reconsider their move to class AA and move back to class A. Edina is proving to be their kryptonite. ;)
