Playoffs just often crown the dominant team on paper as they crown unlikelies, and the state hs hockey tournament is no different. In fact, Edina and HM are the only favs in the past decade that I would say the on paper favorite won. TV, more fans, deeper newspaper coverage, staying downtown, different timing of the games, all contribute to it being a different type of game at the X. That said, I'm picking Eagan--a team I don't think on paper or by history will do anything at the tournament.
