CDH will definitely be the favorite in this one but don't count out the Bears. They are getting production out of their second line now, with Fiala,Swanson, and Matt Hartman. Taylor Johnson has passed by Wolfgram as their best D-man and is a catylist with his abilility to jump up on the rush. Both the power play and the penalty kill have looked much better of late, and the #1 pp is using an umbrella with Hanson in the circle for one timers, and Johnson at center point.

CDH is solid from the tender out with three solid if not spectacular lines and proved they can shut anyone down with their nice 4-0 win over Roseville.

I think this will be a good game.... can someone confirm the fact that WBL scored 12 and 13 goals back to back... the team I watched in the schwans cup sure didnt seem like that! What has happned to make that big of a change? I know PCG is down... but Hastings 13-1... wow... Just curious..

If WBL is playing that well... this should make for a fun game...!

No prediciton from me.... Just will be fun to watch!

Ill make a prediction: Catholics in a hard fought game.

Slinger, the team you saw in the Schwan's Cup was playing a little stiffer competition. That can make a difference. But the Bears are getting and will continue to get better.

2 sophomores Villneauve and Putney are getting better and contributing. Villineauve on the top line with Hanson, and Putney on D.

I agree the competition was stiffer, but other good teams have not smacked these two around like that! Just makes me wonder if they may have things running on the right track! I know they to tons of heat early in the season, maybe that tough early season will pay off.... How has that Hansen Kid been doing?

so what you are saying is that you can kill the teams that are terrible but when it comes down to it you cant win the big game. your records 7-8 and you scored a ton of goals against 2 terrible teams. Beat someone good by a lot of goals then get back on and start talking smack about how good you are.

Just giving my predictions. If you don't like it, then that's just too bad.

You've probably noticed that the majority are saying Cretin will beat the Bears.

WBL vs moundsview: 8-3
CDH vs moundsview: 4-2

WBL vs Park: 11-2
CH vs Park: 8-1

This might mean that WB is better at beating up weaker teams, or it could be something else.

The only counter-argument i saw was:
WBL vs Woodbury 2-3
CDH vs Woodbury 5-0

WB annually plays one of the top non-conf schedules, often with slow starts. seems it usually pays off. WB 3 v. CDH 1
