Who you play means more.

How you play in the big moment means the most. Your record and schedule is irrelevant in March. What matters is how you learned and grew from the previous ~28 games. Almost every year there’s a really good team that loses in the first round because they choked under pressure.

I was referencing the seeding, but overall agree.
It’s a big stage for a 16 year old.
I am pretty sure I almost completely peed my pants in warm ups.

Fixed it for you! Who did you play for and how long ago? That is cool. My brother made it to 2 state tourneys for Hutchinson.

Caught the 2nd period of the game over lunch. Stillwater is looking awfully good, keeping Andover really off balance. Stats are deceiving on this one.

Holy chit how tall is that goalie for Shakopee

That Shakopee goalie is a monster.

97 a long time ago now. Lost to the hornets first game.

Top seeded Moorhead is getting tested by 8 seeded lakeville south.

Defense is optional in this game.

Lakeville getting hosed…

Holy moly. Lakeville South plays fast, the Spuds just play faster.

Are the tickets sold per session? My wife is going to the Hibbing game tomorrow. Seems like the tix are good for both A games.

Thanks…my wife is heading down to day drink and probably run into her old boyfriends.

So far dying your hair blonde has lead to defeat – Andover and Lakeville South. Gotta keep the Flow natural.

Great day of hockey yesterday I think I gained another 10 pounds from all the food. So great to not see Hill there. The Rogers game was fun to watch , Moorhead almost blew it and will have a tough game with Edina tonight. Head back down for the evening session tonight after work. Long day yesterday started at 4Am got home at 1 back to work this morning at 5

WHen a year passes I tend to forget a lot of things. I remembered last night that for some reason I dont get channel 45 since I switched to directv stream. It was there on satellite but I lost it when I switched. Its not even listed in the guide so I know its not because I didnt have it favorited. Bummer. I can stream it on my PC, but I have never been able to cast it to my TV because its a lame Vizio and they make it so clunky. Maybe I will give it another shot today.

Do you have a laptop? Just play it on that and HDMI to your tv.

Dang it Rogers. Lost in OT to the cake. I fell asleep after the 2nd period.

Moorhead is gonna need to play better to take down the champs tonight.

A slow start won’t serve them well tonight. Some very good games yesterday. I’m always amazed by the skill level in this tournament.

What are thoughts on the Moorhead/Lakeville South game and the 2 goal call reversals? I was a little surprised they allowed the MH goal where the LS goalie lost his glove. Apparently the rule is that play should’ve been stopped?? I did agree with the no-goal call against LS. It was close but I think there was goalie interference.

That will probably work. I do have an unused cable and even an ethernet one that should work too I would think. I will give it a shot.

That’s what we do…hook up the iPad to the tv because you can’t cast the livestream.

During the intros I got the impression that Lakeville South was all “hey, I’m on tv, I want to make the all hair team.” Edina had that, “we’re here to win a championship” look. Btw, I hope Edina loses tonight.

Kids are trying way too hard for the hockey hair team these last several years. It was way better in the early years of [or even before] the all hockey hair team when kids weren’t going overboard trying to make the team and the flow was more natural/what they were actually sporting during the season.

do you have a smart tv or fire stick? All I did was download the KSTP app and stream it from there. Quick and easy.

THis is what I do. Works well

Should be some great AA games tonight. Two high end offenses going against two defensive structured teams.
