I don't think Mittlestadt or however you spell it left the ice in the third period.
That Wayzata goaltender is good. Has to get some looks from junior teams.
That'll do it for day one. Kober and crew take an L. They'll face Luverne in the consolation semi.
Gosh, Oliver always looks pissed behind the bench....always. Does he ever smile...
Luverne could be ahead in this one, they've had some great chances. If Hermantown scores right away in the 3rd on the power play it could snowball a bit. If Luverne gets a kill and some momentum look out. They've got the entire arena behind them.
I agree with the "protect the one seed" logic. But if they sent Denver to Providence I bet they would send Duluth on a bus to Fargo, and send Western to Cincinnati to try and boost attendance.
If EGF wins at least they'll have a day off to prepare for Hermantown. It'll take a good effort from Kober and crew to get past Cathedral. Be tough to go back to back against those teams.
Or Luverne could just upset Hermantown......chances.....unlikely.....
Grand Forks born and raised kid as head coach of the gophers......
Next you'll see a GF kid scoring the game winner in OT in a huge game wearing a Gopher sweater.
