Minnetonka, Burnsville are primed

by Dean Spiros

Minnetonka ended its long wait against Edina, even though the Skippers' victory didn't mean anything in the conference standings.

The regular season title for boys' hockey in the Classic Suburban conference already had been decided, and Edina and Minnetonka will be competing in separate sections in the postseason. So, why the celebratory pile of Skippers in front of their net after Saturday's 3-2 victory over the visiting Hornets?

Call it a personal breakthrough. Minnetonka's seniors never had beaten Edina, going all the way back to the beginning of their youth hockey careers. So, yeah, it meant something.

Eagles rally for victory over Blaze

By Dean Spiros

Is the Eden Prairie boys hockey team tired on playing on the road after seven consecutive games away from home? Absolutely. Almost as much as losing games in overtime.

The Eagles did something about it on Saturday, rallying for a pair of goals in the third period to edge Burnsville 3-2.

Sophomore Mike Erickson tied the game at 2-2 only 28 seconds after Burnsville's Lane Gustavson had given the Blaze the lead. Senior Dave Meyer scored the game-winner 59 second later for the Eagles, who play their first 10 games of the season on the road as their arena gets refurbished.

It was a gutty victory for a team that had suffered overtime losses to Lake Conference opponents Eastview and Lakeville North within the previous eight days.

Edina boys not afraid to take on all comers

In another era it was known as "barnstorming," with a talented team traveling the land with an open invitation to those interested in lining up against them for a little friendly competition.

The Edina boys hockey team, the top-ranked team in the Metro, lives up to the tag of talented team. As for the Hornets' willingness to take on all comers, it's simply the best way coach Curt Giles knows of bringing the best out of his players.

The rumors that floated around the Internet on Wednesday were merely a day early.

Winger Tyler Barnes said tonight that he gave Wisconsin coaches a verbal commitment to join the Badgers, likely in the fall of 2009. The 17-year-old senior at Burnsville (Minn.)
