"Getting few shots and became unfocused" sounds like an excuse for why Buchholz let in shots he should have saved. Anyway, next year Cenral will be very hard to beat and should be more of a favorite to win then South.

1. Grand Forks Central- They just reload every year, and next year looks to be no exception.
2. Fargo South- They only return one D man from last year's team (Hooey), and he might not even be back. They have a very strong offense that should keep them up in the 2-4 spots.
3. West Fargo- Call me crazy, but this team looks to be solid next year. They lose one guy, basically, and return alot of talent.
4.Grand Forks Red River- Lost alot from last year, but do have talent coming back. It will be interesting to see where Johnson will be next year. I could see them slipping to 5 maybe even 6.
5.Fargo Shanley- Call me crazy again, but they return basically everyone from last year's team. If their new coach is a good coach this team could have a shot a state.
6.Fargo North- Return alot, but this team has alot of issues between the players, coaches, etc.
7.Grafton- Lost everything, next year will be rough for the Spoilers.
8.Devils Lake- Lost their tender, they return players, but just have no talent.
9.Wahpeton-Looks to be another long year for the Blades.

I think a lot of people are going to be surprised by what these kids can bring to the table now that they are out of the shadow of their very talented upper classman.
ctrain1369 wrote:South has another year left as the only team and im sure they will do anything they can to make this team a championship team. Im not saying its going to happen im just sayin that anyone would wanna go out with a bang and with this school only having 3 state titles to their name, another one in the last year would be nice. South will always be around but with fargo spreading out like it is it will be nothing compaired to davies (the new school in south fargo 2012) in the future. This is their teams last shot at a title before they completely decline. there going to do anything for it.

I can guarantee that the team felt this same exact way last year, and they did in fact do that to an extent. Negate the terrible Bismarck game and the wishy washy loss to Central in the regular season, South had an undefeated regular season and for most of the year it looked like they were going to put up the best season record in Bruin history that would likely stand as long as South is a school. However, after the loss of their entire defensive core minus Hooey, and a good portion of their offense this year, I don't see them taking State. The state in itself isn't down enough for that to happen, and Central should have a significant advantage over South in both skill and talent this upcoming year. South will rely on a strong goalie and a line of offense to get it done. I just don't foresee Benson being capable of coaching a team like that to victory like Malm did this year.
Mallards wrote:BHS and Cenral were ready and took it to Fargo South. A loss is a loss. Give some credit to a STONG TEAM EFFORT by BHS and Central. I don't see why you would discredit BHS or Cenral when they did in fact beat Fargo South. I was looking forward to a Fago South vs BHS game at State but South could not make it. Was this another wish washy Red River loss? South had alot of talent but could not make it to the championship game. Fargo South actions off the ice after the Red River loss during the State Tournanment shows no respect to the game. The peanut butter....mess was hard to believe. What a disappointment to read and hear about this at State. The Bruins players showed no respect to the game of hockey and the Ralph Engelstad Arena. What a way to end the 2008-09 season.
HockeyHigh wrote:Bismark wins a rather unimpressive game 5-2. Take this as excuses if you will, I'm just taken aback by South's coaching. South looked very, very underwhelming and were playing players that I have literally never even heard of. South didn't play Scott Buchholz and several of their best players weren't on the ice, even though they had to know that Bismarck would be coming to win a game. Seems very unreal that a coaching staff would do this. Bismark didn't impress me at all. They played a very simple dump and chase and whenever there was any pressure on them at all they just iced the puck.
Maybe it was a Christmas break that slowed the teams down, but that was not the game I was expecting. Congratulations to Bismarck, if that's the kind of competition that South is willing to put forth, I see Bismarck holding up the state championship trophy in February. South was doing so well, and they obviously changed something for the definite worst over the break.
I know I'm taking away from Bismarck's win, but I am seriously disappointed in Fargo South's performance, and don't think South's performance is how North Dakota should be represented.

Haven't believed any of your posts. Haha
hockeyboss wrote:very true hockeyhigh, i didnt understand the coaching in that game. not playing scotty, and also playing jv kids. everygame is a game, you need to coach and play to win. no matter what the circumstance. but you also have to remember that the bismark coach does run four lines the majority of the game, correct?
