Could be seeing EGF there again. Goalie back, lot of forwards coming back. You could see a repeat next year. With the coaching staff that they have in place they could be winning a lot. Thats if of course everyone comes back......which is a question that comes to many programs.

Congrats to EGF. Nice not to see STA skating around with a trophy. Not sure about any outside kids that ended up on this team, but if you look at the core its all GF area kids (Poolman, Bowen, Tweten, Eades, etc.) As far as having just having the one division argument goes, Edina would beat the team I used to coach (who is in class A Minnesota hockey) by 30 goals. Not kidding. I like having two divisions. The small schools should get some time in the limelight as well. Would any of these teams in the A tournament even make the AA outside of maybe EGF?

EGF trying to see if they can win the game short handed.....bold strategy Cotton lets see if it works for them.

I'm a big fan of the way that Western plays as far as grittiness goes. Very very tough group to go against. Yes, they clutch and grab and interfere and all that Tech stuff, but they are a worthy opponent of anyone on any given night. So when their assistant coach gives credit to UND for being hard to play against, and credit for playing a "heavy game" you take it to heart and appreciate what you have with your hockey team. Hoping for another hard nosed hockey game tonight. Roll tribe.

Yes they do. The winner is dubbed "Mr. Irrelevant".

I agree. East Grand is the better team here. Low scoring game in the works I think. EGF winning 3-1 is the call. Tonight I'm thinking Edina gets it done. My heart hopes for Lakeville to get it done, but my head says Edina.

Okay....Edina beats Eagan 3-1. Which sets up tomorrow's TV schedule: Hermantown vs. EGF at noon. Edina vs. Lakeville at 7. And of course UND vs. Western Michigan at 7:07

322 on Midco. One of the best saves I've seen in high school hockey by the Eagan goaltender.....goodness.... Still 1-0 Every Dick In North America....

UND hasn't clinched anything.....

One Cake eater down.....another to go. Eagan over Edina. You heard it here first!

Jeez, some of these kids can shoot the puck. Wow. Nothing these goalies can do about some of these.

Nice job ladies. Waiting for the stats to come from this one. But nice job. Beat Minnesota, make the tournament......win and in.

Okay, this one is pretty well over. So what seed does UND get?

Guess I jumped the gun a bit....comeback in the works?

Southern Utah beat UND.....who beat NDSU.....who beat Notre Dame.....who beat Duke....who beat Syracuse. Yikes. What seed does this give UND for the tournament?

Ufff....then with less than four seconds to go the Duluth East player just rings the puck to nobody in particular giving Eagan a chance, which they score on. 1-0 Eagan going to the third.

Both of these teams are just tremendous defensively. By garsh......getting the puck to the net in a quality scoring area isn't going to be easy in this one. Even the last play. Two on one for Eagan and the Duluth player gets back to take away a chance while taking a penalty.

Whoops....and we've got a fan giving the reff the bird.....

The what?

I hope Lakeville wins. But I think EP edges them late or in OT. Every time I watch teams play Edina its like they play scared. Go out, move your feet, hit them, don't be awestruck. Edina does do a good job of making teams look bad though.

Nanne and Thorne.....the way it should be...

Which leads me to believe UND would beat the Hitmen......

Eden Praire and Edina will play in the state championship. Cakeater Classic? Or is that taken?

I think Coltyn could go the way of the Jimmer.

Jefferson talking about dissolving their program after that one? Ps: you ever read the book "Blades of Glory"? Great book.
