What a save from the Maple Grove tender

If there is a team or two that you'd like to be on the opposite side of the bracket and not face until the national championship who are they? I think right now mine would be Minnesota and Denver.

The puck movement and playmaking in this game is great!

Expected a little more wide open game tonight but it was more tight playoff hockey. Guys made enough plays to win. On to the X.

Back and forth, each time has a answer everytime.

Some years for sure. This year Warroad would've played Moorhead and Hermantown would've faced Andover. Warroad and Moorhead tied 4-4 during the regular season while Hermantown and Andover did not play. I would probably take Hermantown but Andover is playing their best hockey at the right time.

The result that was expected all year long but a good exciting hockey game. I won't be surprised at all if we see a rematch next March with each team returning their goalie and a lot of underclass talent.

Maple Grove over Hill was my pick for AA and while I'm feeling pretty good about Maple Grove I'm starting to think Andover might pull this win out tonight. In single A it is what everybody expected. Hoping Warroad can find a way to get the win tomorrow. Hermantown definitely has the depth advantage but I think it will come down to which top line does more damage.

Grinded out a win. Really nice defensive effort aside from the breakdown on the goal. Just missed on some real nice chances and think we see the guys cash in putting 4+ in the net tomorrow night.

I just turned it to Midco 2 with the South Dakota tournament on and it looks like peewee B hockey.

Pretty even game first time they played at Hermantown in mid January. 2-1 OT win for the Hawks and shots 33-27 in favor of Hermantown. Warroad will need Slukynsky to be at his best. TV timeouts are an advantage for Warroad with the shorter depth.

I did.

I liked him last year but he has taken another jump this season, he will be a really really solid player for Duluth. Will be fun to see him and the rest of the Warrior prospects tomorrow against Hermantown and their talent.

I don't remember the cry for Lawson. He had a great tournament but there were obvious flaws. Even Worth people loved his goal scoring ability but questioned his defense. There aren't near as many questions with guys like Shaugabay, Gardner, or Bump this year which is why they are already committed to other places. I like our class we have coming in next season but I would like to see us get back to being more aggressive in going after the MN high school prospects.

Him and Gardner both look like they would fit in well in the green, black, and white.

Man is this Warroad/Mahtomedi game fun! The skill and finishing ability of Gardner and Shaugabay has me wishing they were committed to UND.

What a start for South! 10 seconds in a get a really nice regroup and goal, nice finish by Luedtke

Looking forward to watching a couple of these Hill Murray kids in this one. First look at the Freshman Logan Hensler who is supposed to be really really good.

Both Maple Grove and Prior Lake have really turned it on in the last 3rd of the season. That one should be a real fun back and forth game tomorrow night.

Bump has been doing this all season but really took it to another level come playoff time. With the NLI signed already I'd be surprised if he isn't in Vermont for next season the question is whether he is in the portal next spring looking to move up or if he stays at Vermont.

I like Erick Comstock too, reminds me a little of Aaron Ness. Smaller smooth skater with offensive skill, believe he is cousins with Duluth defenseman Wyatt Kaiser.

I see he has signed his NLI actually but if he plays juniors next year does his NLI matter? I thought NLI's were only valid for a limited time like a year.

Wouldn't mind Berry taking a shot at flipping Gardner from Warroad. Don't believe he has signed a NLI as eliteprospects has him headed to Clarkson in 23/24. He skates pretty well with good size, not as skilled but reminds me a little of Brock Nelson out there.
