Apple Valley (5-5-1) has a shutout loss to Hibbing this year. Rosemount (4-7) is on a 3-game losing streak. They are 4th and 5th respectively in the Lake Conference Standings. The winner tonight will be ahead of the other at the end of the night.
i dont see either of these teams competing for the lake title, but i do believe apple valley is the better team. Rosemount's goalie situation doesnt make me feel confident.
AV's goalie had a rough time up north. He's played pretty well in conference though, see if he can get back into it. I don't know if Rosemount has someone who can stop Politz. Rosemount will need 1st line to produce and goalie to step up and play his game.
Rosemount absolutely dominated this game. Although with the hic-cup in the 3rd they still out-skated, out-passed and out-shot the Eagles. I was in attendance for the first time since the Benilde game and the Irish looked pretty solid in my eyes. Morgan finally stepped up and played his role. The Irish had no problem stopping Politz although he is a fantastic player, great vision, great hands, speedy player. If rosemount can put together a SOLID 3 periods of hockey, they are definetly a threat.
1 goal was a rebound that he couldn't find
1 was after he stopped a politz breakaway and nobody cleared the puck
2 were snipes up high
and one he misplayed the puck and it ended up on the doorstep
