Central 6-1 over RR tonight.   That's my hope anyways.

Wow big development in Davies-Sheyenne...

Mercalf out of the net.

He's back in I guess.  Medical made him come out for a bit.

Doesn’t mean they have the hockey numbers. If kids would stay home, they would have the numbers. I expect more to leave in the near future 

There will be a mass exodus from the west of the parentally delusional again this off season.

First year back and Shanley punches their ticket.  If Sheyenne wins they are the #3, if Davies wins they are the #4. 

Why does Shanley get the 3 over Sheyenne?  WF Sheyenne finished higher than Shanley in the regular season standings?

Beat them in the tournament.

[Wilbur]

So right now.

Sheyenne vs Minot

Jamestown-Central RR loser

GFC/RR-Century

Legacy vs. Shanley

[Brim006]

Who was that who said the west might have a chance in 2 of the 4 games? 🤔

Me 

[Wilbur]

So:

Sheyenne vs Minot

Red River vs Jamestown

Central vs Century

Legacy vs Shanley

Punchers chance for the west in two of them.  Central against Century could be like the last Central-Shanley game.

Minot has a dreamers chance 

Legacy chance is even slimmer.

I predict running clocks in the other two games unfortunately.

Not sure if I go that far.  RR has become a one man team.

Yessir you did.  Will find out on Thursday.  I'll take a East sweep again but who knows.  Minot, however did play a structured game today and I believe their SR Captain Richeson has to sit out game one for a dumb 5 and a game in the championship today.

Shanley makes state 1st year back.  Minot goes back to back WDA titles in a watered down conference.  Shocking...

I was wondering if he has to sit another one for that.  That is a big time loss for them as he's their best d man.  Sheyenne hasn't scored a ton lately, both teams with good young goaltenders.  I think 3-2 either way seems likely.

How is it as the top team in the state Central doesn't get the early time slot?

Alternate between 1 seed from west and 1 seed from east each year.

like it that way.

[Wilbur]

I'll say....

Sheyenne 3-1

Red River 6-1

Central 8-0

Shanley 4-1

Semis the Grand Forks schools roll.

Red River gets over the hump and beats Central Saturday night.  Could be more OT.

Sheyenne has been mediocre at best since the new year began, I wouldn't give them an automatic win on Thursday just because they are facing a west team.   Minot is a decent team and could very well be the lone western team to win.

I think low scoring game either way.  In no way automatic for Sheyenne, I'll just pick them because Minot without one of their better players Thursday. 

[Johnny Five]

I agree I think the Minot-Sheyenne and Shanley-Legacy will both be low scoring, tight games.  Legacy is 0-6 in State Tournaments overall, not that it affects this team, but would be nice to see a win.  Legacy PP operating at 26% could make a different, Minot shut that down on Saturday.
