A SF: #4 Alexandria vs #1 Hermantown
Can the Cards pull off the upset?

Nope. Blake B. is a household name now for good reason. Hermantown’s depth and top end talent are AA like.mnmouth wrote:Can the Cards pull off the upset?

I am a true homer and will pick the Cards. If they play a similar game as they did against Cathedral, they have a shot. Very aggressive and physical, but clean. Responsible in the D zone. If we get some quality zone time, we can score on Hermantown. If we get pinned in our zone too long, it will be very tough. My call is 3-2 in OT.

Boy it sure seems that the announcers of this game are being paid some good money to gush Hermantown. Don’t get me wrong I love #218 puck, but it’s getting pretty thick. #soundturnedoffmnmouth wrote:Can the Cards pull off the upset?

You must be listening to the radio.....the TV guys' love for Powell is over the top.kniven wrote:Boy it sure seems that the announcers of this game are being paid some good money to gush Hermantown.

Yup... watching the game in Alex and it I will say Powell does deserve much praise as he is having a great tourney. However, I would love to see some of the other Alex players get some credit. Defense is a 6 player effort. I just texted his dad and told him not to let Parrish near his son this weekend.
One more period, Cards. The goalie made me nervous with a few of the fat rebounds he allowed, but has withstood the barrage so far. Hopefully I’m not repeating some of the annoying announcer antics since I had the sound turned down for most of the first two periods, but Alexandria seems really poised in their own end, even under heavy pressure.
(Edit: Alex managed to score before I could submit the message, and of course it was Powell )

Last time Hermantown lost a semifinal game( in state tournament) was 2006 when they lost to St. Thomas Academy 6-5 in double overtime.rainier2 wrote:So someone out there must know how many games it's been since Hermantown lost to an A team, and how long it's been since they lost a tourney game that wasn't the championship.
