Not HS Tourney time without people saying the Gophs need to get a player after only watching him in 2 or 3 games, so I'll do my part. Mason West needs an XL or XXL Gopher jersey.
Well he is rated around the 50th best skater in his draft class. And he has a man sized body now as a junior.Not HS Tourney time without people saying the Gophs need to get a player after only watching him in 2 or 3 games, so I'll do my part. Mason West needs an XL or XXL Gopher jersey.

Think it all depends on what he wants to play at the next level.
Not sure why that wasn’t a penalty shot?
Moorhead has been spending too much time in their own zone similar to Rogers last night. Hopefully they do something on the PP.
Really like this Zimmerman kid. Some guys just have the knack to score in big moments
Edina scores 2 seconds after the horn
Assuming you're talking about the Moorhead penalty late in the 3rd, likely because he did manage to get a shot off.Not sure why that wasn’t a penalty shot?
B1G refs... corrupt, or just incompetent?
He heard the buzzer but threw the puck in the net in frustrationEdina scores 2 seconds after the horn
Take that you stinkin' Cake Eaters!!!!
I grew up rooting against them (old habits die hard) and I very rarely root for a team that has won a lot of championships (never have this problem being a fan of Minnesota pro teams 😀).
I went to high school with Darby Hendrickson so this should tell you which high school I went to. Senior year was fun (see section final game and the team a Darby lead team was able to beat to make it to state).

his short side top shelf was definitely a goal scorer’s goal, this tournament seems to have a good highlight reel of top shelf bad angle goals.
There is no excuse for the terrible collapse by Hibbing and though I am admittedly biased I will say the refs made a huge mistake by calling the elbow instead of a five for checking from behind right before. They discussed it and sided against the call but it was a dangerous play. Either way you can’t give up that lead.East side wins. Gonna be a gutted locker room for Hibbing
up 5-2 and give up the next 5. Yeup, that sucks.
The play by Rewertz to score was spectacular. So much talent for a freshman.

He does have some Barry Talekson to him. I liked the condor.
The late penalty on Edina was bs. The Moorhead kid grabbed the Edina players stick and simulated the play and the stripes took the bait.

It was still a blatant interferenceThe late penalty on Edina was bs. The Moorhead kid grabbed the Edina players stick and simulated the play and the stripes took the bait.
Started as a hook, added a holding the stick after. Almost never see the second part called, and the angle was such that the ref almost certainly couldn't see it. Of the missed calls this weekend, that one is pretty far down the list.

Great story!
Apologies if it’s already been posted.

Eff Damien Rhodes!!! Tonka doubled up Richfield on shots and lost 2-1 in the section final thanks to him. Plucky Richfield were under .500 going into sections that year and upset Edina in the semis.
Rhodes had this weird bit where he'd scratch his leg pad twice with his glove hand and then turn his head around. Really weird. 🤣

Yeah, the Edina player forced the ref to make the call. It was a potential breakaway. The Spud player had a step when the stick infraction changed the play.
I agree the Spud held the stick, but the infraction was already made by that time. I think it was a good call.
@streakygopher Agree 100%…Besides, Edina got away with plenty of uncalled infractions during the course of this tournament. Should be one hell of a game tonight! Conway had played unbelievably with a bit of 🍀 to boot…Ponies are charging forward while Moorhead looks to end a LONG drought in title games!

Personally the Tourney has been well reffed and calls have been consistent. I don’t think one team got away with more than their opponents.

I have no clue what to expect tonight. Stillwater has all 6 cylinders pumping and I don’t think we’ve seen Moorhead’s A game.
The crowd should be interesting… Well the neutral fans be pro Moorhead or a mix of both teams. It’ll also be interesting if Moorhead wears their all orange uniforms while Stillwater is in red.

the officiating has been awful. So bad it's to the point where they are putting kids in danger with what they are allowing to happen.Besides, Edina got away with plenty of uncalled infractions during the course of this tournament.

After seeing all of the games at the X, it feels like Moorhead's D corps isn't as deep or talented as Edina's. Maybe that holds true against Stillwater...not sure. I thought Edina had a terrific game and could have used some of their depth forwards to chip in last night.
This game could be real close and Stillwater better play good team defense. Moorhead has kids who can get up the ice and score. Needless to say, goaltending will be huge. #liamsouliere
Don't think Blake Vanek screams D1 at this point and falls way short of any inevitable comparison to his pop.
The only kid in the tournament I've seen that looks like a D1 thoroughbred is Mason West. Kid is a talent.

It's been consistent but to your point uncharacteristically laissez-faire for high school. It has an NHL vibe to it.
There have been elbows and running players from behind that have either been missed, overlooked, or called too lightly.
And people would be screaming mad if they tightened up the calls, with let them play…

i dunno if it was called consistently for the majors. Have been numerous checking from behind plays and I don’t think I’ve seen a single one called. If they were calling all the clutch and grab, probably so
The biggest thankless job goes out to housekeeping at the Tourney… Over the years and what I saw last night can be very disturbing in the bathrooms. They’re probably aren’t paid enough for some of the messes they have to clean up after.

the only way he can grab a stick with his armpit is if the Edina kid puts his stick in his armpit. Edina 7 was clearly trying to slow him down with a hook. I think he made the right play, as the risk of allowing the goal on a partial break is likely higher than the risk of a PP goal.The late penalty on Edina was bs. The Moorhead kid grabbed the Edina players stick and simulated the play and the stripes took the bait.
Watch the replay. The Moorhead grabbed the Edina players stick with his hand. Not blaming the stripe he saw what he saw from the other side. It’s bs cause the Moorhead player simulated it. It happens all the time. Though if penalties could be reviewed… this one probably would’ve been overturned.

Seeing that Orono won the 3rd place game 5-1 over Hibbing. Didnt see any of it, though not surprised. Hibbing came to StP for one thing only and after losing yesterday, they probably cashed it in before puck drop.

Nothing will get called in the Class A game until chains and/or brass knuckles come out.

TIE BALL GAME
Fitting that the Wave win with all the calls breaking against them late.
Holy. EGF with the win. Scored from NO angle
What… how… amazing goal!!!
Keep your stick on the ice...
It’s crazy how tight some of these games are played and they often come down to a mistake being made.
Congrats to EGF and a whole team effort win. Not too often you beat a good team and the officials.
Edina 4-3 over STA for 3rd. Player’s exchanging their mom’s hot dish recipes in the closing seconds and after. All good moments later with both teams coming together at center ice for a closing prayer.

That Cullen kid looks a lot like his dad!😂😂
A grown man is wearing a Mr. Potato Head Halloween costume in the Moorhead section… lol!!!
Keep your stick on the ice...
Holy shit! 3-0 spuds!
