the way many pick at their schedule being "weak", one could make the argument that even though they are rated #1 in many polls (lower in others), some ironically could make the argument they are indeed a darkhorse.
A real darkhorse that nobody would expect is if we had a champion from section 1AA. Could you imagine LN, LS, Mayo, or Owatonna winning state. That would be cool to see.
It would be just great to see a team at least make it to the finals who has a losing record. Where it just so happens they got hot at the end of the year.

And at that point hell would freeze over and Minnesota hockey would have to admit that the whole state had a horrible year of hockey

Not a horrible pick, but I don't think you can say that nobody is ready for them. I would guess they've earned the respect of the teams that have yet to play them. They've made enough noise to at least get the "big guns" best shots.

The "New" NSP will rally around itself at Polar Arena - instead of getting squashed by a semi loaded with cement blocks trying to get there as in the past.
