My pick for first upset of the day...

Hastings over Lakeville North.

Although I'd like to see Mayo shock us all.

Lots and lots of spicy games today. Blake is playing really well the last few weeks. Can they pull off a shocker against BSM?

EGF and Warroad. Destined to be a close game I think...

Centennial and Maple Grove. Today is the day you see a lot of good teams that aren't going to suit up again.

Not looking good for Mayo
Lakeville South 3 Mayo 0 still in the 1st....

Well Mayo's chance was their goalie standing on his head. Not today.

[Sparlimb]

Looking at my section pickem I did for YHH, I see I picked Prior Lake and Chaska to win today. Now that would be a daily double if that happens.

[Sparlimb]

Prior Lake up 1-0 on EP 4 minutes in

now 1-1

[ClassAGuy]

UPSET ALERT
2AA Semis
1 seed EP 1
4 seed PL 3
After 2 periods

My pick on the top half of the bracket looking good through 2 periods. Lee Smith career could be coming to an end shortly.

[ClassAGuy]

1AA Semi
Lakeville South 6
Mayo 0
Final

No surprise there as always its a Lakeville in 1AA

[Sparlimb]

UPSET ALERT
2AA Semis
1 seed EP 1
4 seed PL 3
After 2 periods

My pick on the top half of the bracket looking good through 2 periods. Lee Smith career could be coming to an end shortly.

My double upset still in play

3-1 Prior Lake with 10:00 to play in 3rd.

[ClassAGuy]

EP cuts it to 3-2 with 4 minutes left

[ClassAGuy]

4-2 Prior Lake FINAL!!!

Be awesome to see No Lake Conference teams for once at the AA State Tourney!

Congrats Lakers and nice career for Coach lee Smith on his final game behind the bench maybe a changing of the guard in 2AA finally

Second that. Congrats to the Lakers and a tough one to end it for Coach Smith, but he had a heck of a career behind the bench. Now let's go Chaska!

[Sparlimb]

Lakeville North and Hastings scoreless after 1.

[Brodziak Fan Club]

Thoroughly impressed by Prior Lake. They were the better team in every facet. About as one-sided a 4-2 game as you'll see. Have to give EP credit for hanging in and having a chance at the end despite getting worked for 45 minutes.

[SpreadOut!]

In the end, Eden Prairie’s poor recruiting last offseason caught up with them. Thoughts and prayers.

I know just how you feel. I fondly recall the year with no 218.

Up high! Down hard!

In the end, Eden Prairie’s poor recruiting last offseason caught up with them. Thoughts and prayers.

Hope the next coach is able to re-establish those crucial connections with families in Edina, Shakopee, Cloquet, and New Hampshire.

[Sparlimb]

1-0 Lakeville North over Hastings.

2nd Period has been all Panthers.


Tartan goalie standing on his head but the titans have yet to bury there few chances.

0-0 WBL and Tartan nearly through the first.
