Sorry about going off topic. I'll try not to take away from the kids but the way RR found a way to win was a goalie stopping everything and Crary finishing all the plays he could. One miracle shot got them past South. Someone has to win and obviously RR did but that is far from meaning RR had more talent as implied. South was the most talented team in ND this year just like Edina was this year in MN, Red River was last year, South was in 07 and Moorhead was in 05. Want to know the only other correlation between these teams? Not a single one won state. They still were the best teams, they just lost one game at the wrong time. Basically I'm saying there's more to teams than their final positioning at state. Anyways on topic I know the team will do fine but I doubt they have the talent to take first due to larger states talent pools.nothinghappend wrote:no i actually live in dl so im not really a rr fan. im just saying that the rr team this year came from the shadows and found ways to win, like they did in state.

toews19 wrote:HockeyHigh, what is considered a "nice" goal in your book? going coast to coast with a nice back door pass for a tap in? or is every goal scored against fargo south a garbage goal? your not gonna have "nice" goals in the state tournament. your gonna have rebounds, tip ins, "garbage" goals. its those second and third efforts that count in the state tournament. they may not be the prettiest goals, but they could be huge.

They ended up with a 3 - 3 tie last weekend. Shaddock did not want to play overtime, the starz dominated most of the game. Shaddock's goalie came up big for them in the last 5 min. of the game. I don't think the puck left their end of the ice during that time. They did not want to get beat going into nationals by a tier 2 team! Congrats to the Dakota starz - should have no problem winning nationals in St. Louis
