Honestly, this score confirms my suspicion all season. The best two teams in Northern Minnesota are Hermantown and Duluth Marshall and both are A teams. DM has now beaten GR two years in a row and I can't remember the last time Hermantown lost to them. Both Hermantown and Marshall also have beaten C...

ugly ugly period for Hermantown. 5 goals for EGF and Hermantown outshot 15-6. In some odd way, they are lucky that period ended.

EGF strikes twice to take the lead 2-1 early in the second period.

1-0 Hermantown after 1. Its clear these two teams are the best single A teams in the tournament. Shots 9-5 Hermantown.

Plante finally gets a final against a public school. In fact, the last time a private school wasn't in the Class A Final was 2003. Who wins?

Marshall is a private school. Every single kid is a "blatant transfer." So if you go there your freshman year your a transfer? I think the point being made is that the way in which players transfer to Marshall is often considered less acceptable. If a player transfers to Marshall in 8th o...

This is one of East's most impressive seasons given the inexperience they had. They have proven to be a program that is not phased by deficits late in games. Elk River was better through two periods but East played so well in the 3rd that they deserved this game. If I could define Duluth East in Sec...

With Hermantown back in 7A Marshall’s road to state, as we saw last night, is much tougher. As a result, Marshall will have a harder time convincing top talent to move to their school. Hermantown doesn’t lose talent to anybody, but East and Denfeld do. Herm is 7A definitely helps both East and Denf...

Considering East's difficult schedule, I don't think fear of losing is a reason not to play those two teams. I assume they'd rather play AA competition like Minnetonka, Wayzata, Eden Prairie, etc. I'd much rather see East play Edina on a yearly basis than either Hermantown or Duluth Marshall. Best ...

In defense of St. Thomas, Hermantown's 4th goal was a questionable no call when their player ran the goalie into the net.

Hermantown brought their A game as usual but they simply ran into a team with more depth and talent then them.

To me, this game represents why Marshall is a high profile northern program and Denfeld isn't. Yes, Denfeld has beaten Marshall two of the last three years and they beat Hermantown and East this year. However, outside of this year, Denfeld's record has been atrocious against Marshall, East, and Herm...

2 quick ones and this ones getting outta control. 4-0 STA This one's OVER....and the pathetic thing is cronies like HSHockeywatcher and TheStickler07...think they are accomplishing something SPECIAL What a joke...STA playing Class A and they're supporters trying to justify it...talk about trophy ch...

St. Thomas Academy (25-5) will take on Hermantown (30-0) in a rematch of last year's Class A final won by St. Thomas Academy. It's public vs private and its Hermantown trying to go 31-0 for the perfect season.

Benilde's the best team left in the winner's bracket. I say Benilde wins 5-1.

I'd like to see LF keep this one close, but on paper this may be the most lopsided of the quarterfinals. My choice: http://images.fanpop.com/images/image_uploads/Cadet-Kelly-disney-channel-original-movies-692682_352_500.jpg So Joey Hanowski will be taking a page out of his brother's book and saluti...

good players. People sometimes look at coaching, chemistry, tradition, but the reality is that it comes down to players. Give Curt Giles Sleepy Eye and they still are going to suck. The whole "home grown" chemistry argument is clearly off as the private schools have done well without kids ...

Eden Prairie is a better team but East has been playing so solid as a group and they can't be overlooked. Although I think it will be close, EP will win this one as they have more depth and overall talent.

I think Central should be ahead of Hibbing. They beat them head to head. But oh well. Should be some good playoff games. Looking forward to it. I was not impressed with Central last night at all. But then again, I'Falls and Eveleth were brutal also. If anything Central should be in the 4 spot behin...
