No shit Tech sucks, I know that. Sadly MN barely beat us in the 2 games we've played so far, so that doesn't say too much about their team either.

Score doesnt always indicate dominance, or the talent on that team.. You as a big hockey buff should know that.. As far as the close games, lmao , dude your clueless, Look at the NFL game today.. did the "on a streak chargers" barely win against pathetic washington? does that mean the skins have a better team?? hell no.. so whats your point?

Oh, MN getting beat in the first round of the NCAA hockey tournament by Holy Cross was golden too, lol.

Then, add to that the fact that St. Cloud has never won an NCAA tournament game, that Bemidji is in CHA and that UMD has not done too hot, yea, really great hockey there, lol.

UMD has talent.. I live in duluth and watch alot of their games, there young.. wait 2 years, St cloud.. I guess mike lee in the world juniors for team USA is nothing..?? lol Take a look at the World JR team from the USA, i think they have 5 players from mn on there, which is 17-19 yr olds that are already drafted 1st round.. Dont try dude you wont win this battle

That's a joke. MSU is better than MN, in fact MSU has the most wins in the country at the moment. MN isn't even in the top 20 this year, they've played at most 2 games with players at the World Juniors yet their record is still under .500, MSU has some of the top scores in the nation as well as one of the top goaltenders, sorry but MSU has more talent and is a better team than any team from MN.

Also, the best player in the nation, Corey Tropp for MSU, is from MI.

Haha, reading your last few posts makes it obvious that you are talking out if your ***, you have no clue what hockey even is. I saw Tropp play at the GLI just this past week. I would like to know how you classify the best player if it isn't the highest scorer or shown themselves to be the most talented over the season. Also love how you still think a 9-10 team is the best in the country, lol. Have you ever watched a game of hockey even? Doesn't seem like it. Anyway, you can go back to your delusional state.

Wow. U really are an idiot. First off I never even mentioned a single team. So your ability to read the record of the worst mn team is invalid. You are not even worth arguing with cuz ur on tropps nuts it seems. First you think mi has the best hs teams then the best prospects then the most pros. Meh do research dumb shit. Cuz you are the one talking out of your *** here. I don't even know what your talking about anymore cuz nothing is making sense. Tropp the hack would get walked on by Jordan schroeder, tj oshie, anders lee, Parrish, Danny kristo, Derek forbert and many others. Like I said your a moron and ur nuthugging one dude on a shit team. U fail again.

You really are an idiot, and its time to shut you up.

According to USA Hockey, Minnesota produces the most Division 1 hockey players, and that isn't even close. Currently, slightly more than 40% of Division 1 hockey players are Minnesotans.

Minnesota also has the highest number of players drafted by NHL teams every year, and it has been that way for some time. However, both Michigan and Massachussets produce quite a bit of hockey talent as well. Just not as much as Minnesota.

Not surprising though. If you look at last year's high school hockey rankings, Minnesota high school hockey teams absolutely dominate the rankings.

HS State tourney stats

Minnesota State Tourney sells out an NHL arena. Michigan, with nearly twice our population, gets around 3,000 fans for their state championship HS game. 19,000>3,000. While Minnesota brings in 120,000+ for the entire state tournament, michigan , about 14,000

Minnesota born players in the NHL

Minnesota is the location for the US Hockey Hall of Fame. Youngy, thanks for finding the stat breakdown.

My point about Miracle on Ice is WHY Minnesota was designated as the State of Hockey. Detroit is labled Hockeytown USA, but it appears even the national broadcasters acknowledge Minnesota as State of Hockey.

It appears the amount of players in each state according to USA Hockey is close, with Minnesota getting the edge. I am not sure if we can argue modern day.

According to hockeyreference.com, Minnesota has produced exactly 200

NHL players and Michigan 118. Michigan has Modano #1, Minnesota has #2 Housley

http://www.hockey-reference.com/friv/birthplaces.cgi?country=US&province=&state=MN

That is only a reference list...

Dont forget Shattuck St Marys, Probably one of the best HS prep tema in the country either.. But i doubt any good players came from there either.. Just some Sydney Crosby kid, Derek Stepan ( capt of the world JR team ) as well as Wayne Gretzkys son now attending //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/confused.gif.e820e0216602db4765798ac39d28caa9.gif I know pretty bad examples and im sure youve never heard of them before cuz your still hanging from tropps nut like a pube

Go ahead , I'll wait a while for you to make up some bullshit to respond to this //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

Oh yea we also have 17 hours of straight hockey coming up for Hockey Day Minnesota that will be nationally broadcast on Fox Sports

http://wild.nhl.com/club/news.htm?id=485992 ( hopefully this link " counts " )

I cant wait til you respond with something, cuz I just stated everything you stated about MI born players as FALSE , and are inferior to MN born players,... And THAT is why MN is the STATE of hockey....
