I'd have Cretin's chances just as good as Moorhead's.

You taking bets? I'd but a dollar on Century.

clown, you should know its very very very hard to win state, 3 games in 3 days going with 2 lines. Your coach still hasn't learned that lesson. edinas odds are 10:1 and its because of the clown, only this one resides behind the hornet bench.

Interesting observation. I was wondering when this would come up again. Last year they lost to Hill-Murray in the final. Same way they've lost all their games this season. Fall behind, goalie plays very well, Edina keeps going to the well with their top line.

If they win it will prove all the naysayers wrong that you can't win with this approach. Many people routinely said Phil Mickelson couldn't win a major because he came close several times and didn't prevail.

Then he won three and those people had to shut up.

Edina hasn't won a state title this way the past two years. Big difference.

Time will tell, but whoever wants to beat Edina better get up early and have a solid night from the one between the pipes. There's a good chance Edina cruises through round one (like last year) and gets past Duluth East or Cretin the next day. Saturday? We shall see.

I think Blaines odds should be a little bit better after coming off of that
7-1 win over Cenntenial

Might as well take that dollar and hold it in one hand and light it on fire with the other.

Putting a dime on DE at 6 to 1 isn't enough return, 15 moving to 20 to 1 by Wednesday

Cenntenial choked for the last half of the year, a win against them is not that impressive. Their odds are even a little higher than I would have expected with EP and Edina on both sides of the bracket.
