Should be a barn burner. Both teams have explosive forwards and solid D. East's goalie is good. I dont know much about Centennails goal keeper. cant wait to see this one.

Two good teams, should come down to goal tending and team D.

Aren't you jumping the gun a little early with this poll? Duluth East plays Minnetonka tomorrow, right? Or have you written off 'Tonka?

Unless you consider the results of the Tonka-East game essential to judging what East's performance vs. Centennial will be, no.

And the new LPH ratings are due out tomorrow morning and will not change on account of the Minnetonka game.

Anyways, this appears to be East's hardest game of the year (in terms of opposition talent, at least). Should be a great one to watch.

I have only seen the cougars a couple times but the Little Aus kid has been impressive.

East can beat Cent they just have to stay out of the penalty box if they can do that and have Cooper play good like he has east will win....hands down

Well I have to throw my vote in for the Cougars!! Even though East Ds & their Goalie have been solid so far this year. I still don't think that East will be able to hold the cougars from finding the back of the net. If East can find a way to stay out of the penalty box it may be a different story.

Cougars - 3
East - 1

4-2 Centenial, Pitlick impressd me a lot during scrimmages up in MHD, but thats all I have seen of him. Thinking Easts' goalie will have a bad game.

If Centennial plays with heart, they can pull this one off...

I also like East in this one, they own duluth area this year

Centennial needs to stay out of the penalty box but it seems like they have a tough time doing that.

Was Riley Colvard on Centennial's team last year?

Calling it right now. East plays well, but not well enough. Centennial goes home a victor with a 5-3 win...

As much of a homer that I am and want to say Centennial, I think Duluth East may win this. The best chance the Cougars have in winning this is by staying out of the penalty box. In three games, the Cougars have racked up 59 penalty minutes. 25 min vs Roseville, 22 min vs Coon Rapids and 12 min vs Champlin Park!

It sounds as though both teams are having the same problem (staying out of the penalty box!).

As a footnote, East has been penalized for 74 minutes in their first three games.

Both of these teams must be getting penalized for being too physical and too big because everyone is aware both of these teams have strong defence and I am sure they both dominate in their defensive zone. I have watched a few games for Minnetonka and Edina and the refs like to call penalties when someone gets hit too hard its pretty ridiculous. Hopefully they will let these two teams play since I am guessing they are both very physical.

No he wasnt. Hes only a sophomore, and he was on the A Bantam team last year.
