I wonder if we’ve ever had two 6’7” players (Edina goalie, Mahtomedi defenseman) in one tournament before?
So what is the score game 1 today?
Aloha!

That is awesome... congrats to Mahtomedi!
Hard to see such an underdog like Hermantown go down.
Hermantown doesn't need to move up to Class AA after this lose they may need to consider moving down to Class B.
That was a hell of a play by that Mahto player to intercept the pass and skate in with the puck and then release a shot between the legs of the d-man and over the shoulder of the goalie. Gotta love playoff hockey!

So tomorrow it will be White Bear Lake (lake, not school because we all know WBL the school doesn't participate in this tourney after Thursday) against either Lake Of the Woods or Lake Minnetonka.
Lake Superior, thanks for your participation.

Nice ending to the Mahtomedi/Hermantown game. I think their fans had more tears in their eyes than the players. Ohhhhhhh well just gives them more of an excuse to stay in A.
Keep your stick on the ice...
Hard for me to get on any player after a disappointing loss. As a fan we see the success H-town has year-after-year but as a player you may only have one shot a winning the title.

Here's my usual "not natively born here so no dog in the fight" take
I'm pulling for Mahto to win A
I'm pulling for Andover to win AA
I’m 50/50 on it. Been on both sides of the championships. Some athletes handle both sides of championships with grace and some not some not so much. I have a tough time with the ones who can’t handle both sides of the championships.

Crazy first goal in the Orono/Warroad game for Warroad. Off the glass, off the top of the net, off the Orono goalies’s back and goes in… plus it was the kid from Warroad first goal of the season.

I don't wish losing on the H kids. I hate seeing any group going home. But I'm not going to lie that I'm happy to see Mahtomedi pull that one out.

Sounds like the old Michael Jordan/Larry Bird McDonalds commercial
Gophers scored one like that against Ohio State a few years ago. In that one, the puck was stuck on the goalie's jersey, and he backed into the goal on his own.Crazy first goal in the Orono/Warroad game for Warroad.

I watched him play last summer, he's a good player. Hard to believe it's his first hs goal. He's played 27 games. Crossbar, glass, goalies back, and in. Huh???

I remember a goal (kind of) in one of the first Gophers games that season when the puck flipped into the air came down on (Hauser's?) shoulder and fell into the net and in true MN sports fan fashion thought to myself, "Oh great this year is going to suck".
So any players from Warroad going to be Gopher player?
Aloha!

Looking like a classic lagoon showdown on Saturday of Lake of the Woods vs White Bear Lake

It appears that Warroad has been watching too much Whioux hard nosed hockey with their checking techniques.
I'm 50% factual and 50% sarcastic. When you get to know me, you will know which is which.

I know the refs want to swallow their whistle but that was a terrible trip to ignore.
Also Jim Erickson is so much better than LaPanta it's a joke.
@frozen4champs I always look forward to seeing how the high school tournament draws compared to NHL teams.

In related news: The NHL in their current round of expansion have decided to add some Minnesota high school teams in order to increase their average attendance. ?
Nevers looks great. Hit two pipes already.
Andover has some Oompa Loompas that think they are tough. Fits that area along with Elk River and Blaine.

11 for ‘Tonka is fun to watch and is going to be a fantastic player.

I’m surprised Tonka scores any power play goals. They don’t have anyone within 10 ft if the goalie. Not even attempting a screen.
Tonka’s fight song is the Northwestern fight song.

No, you won’t be hearing it any time soon.
@cowgirl is an intellectual scholar. She knows the fight songs of Northwestern, Stanford, Harvard, MIT, and Oxford due to her time spent at each of these schools. She bounced around because she found them to be no challenge and quite frankly rather pedestrian and mundane in comparison to her intellectual pursuit. ?
Nothing better than a little cop doughnut humor.

Nah, I could only regale you with alternate lyrics to most of the original big ten school fight songs although few are really worth saying out loud anymore ?

This reminded me that Andover doesn’t have a police department.
Hoping 2023 isn't a repeat of 2010, when a very talented Skippers team (that went 2-1 vs Edina during the season) fell behind early and never recovered. Tonka was 2-0 vs Edina this year.
Go Skippers!
