He separated his shoulder a few weeks ago. Missed a couple of games and then came back during sectionals (taped up). Must have taken a good hit tonight. Sounds like Campion is doing well in his place. He was an occasional fourth line forward that has played D in the past and did well filling in for Hunter in other games.

Hisgroin... hes out for the game.... Campion is playing awesome in his place

The MN Hockey Hub is reporting that this is the first-ever triple OT Championship game!

Level of play has been impressive. Normally the marathons get sloppy. I remember that college game two years ago where the dude shot it through the net and they played three more minutes!

I still think Rau will make a big play. If Duluth wins, probably Toninato .

Shot just wide as I typed that.

It's a shame a game like that had to end on such a terrible goal. Jeanetta probably isn't going to sleep well the next few nights.

Props to Duluth East for putting up a better fight than I expected and congrats to Eden Prairie. That was an awesome game to watch!

May be the best game I have ever seen!

I didn't want this game to end. At that point, I would've been disappointed no matter who won. I was rooting for Duluth, but what effort on the part of Rau. Three overtimes deep diving for loose pucks after getting hammered the whole game. The kid played hard. Pretty cool that his brother got the assist, I'm sure that will be a memory for the two.

Congrats to Eden Prairie, congrats to St. Thomas. Let the long, long offseason begin.

Um, terrible goal? That goal was awesome.

First off, congrats to Eden Prairie for their championship. Both teams deserved to win this game, but only one could.

Props to the officials, also, for letting the kids play. It's always better to let the kids decide the outcome rather than the zebras. Something WCHA officials could take a lesson on.

East players, hold your heads up. You did more than most people thought you could this season. Bummer for the seniors who won't be back next year, but the future looks very good for the Hounds.

Hmm....weird. This doesn't sting. I just feel good to have watched such a classic game.

Man, what a season, what a tournament!!

And ironically, the Duluth player who did the pounding on Rau whiffed on a chance to clear the puck just before Rau pushed it in.

That was a helluva game. Congrats to both teams.
Every year should be like that.

And he's a heck of a D for being a sophomore! Props to Randolph for playing three lines (had the third line out there a couple of times against EP first line). Great game, looks good for DE for next year!

for those who thought EP would roll ( and to the EP fans.... )

We outplayed you, we had more heart than you , and we will be back stronger next year....

EP congrats on your goal... it will be your last for a long time...

mj79 · Post by **mj79** » Sat Mar 12, 2011 10:55 pm

Yea I may be bitter... But its the first time I have been In 5 yrs on this forum... You got a lucky goal against a team that was dominating you .. enjoy it

northwoods oldtimer · Sat Mar 12, 2011 10:56 pm

That was a great game. I wished that East could have got one for the north.

Goldfishdude · Post by **Goldfishdude** » Sat Mar 12, 2011 10:57 pm

I freaking closed my eyes after the first intermission to rest them, and I just woke up at 10:55... AGHHHHHH!!! How could I miss the ending????

mother please ban me...

Congrats to Eden Prairie -

If East can get some goal tending next year, you will be right back here easily. What a couple of fantastic teams..

Very impressed with the young talent on the DE team.

About as even game as you can have.

mj79, the least you could have done was congratulate Eden Prairie for their championship, as they just showed Coach Randolph doing.

You fell short.

Congratulations to both DE and EP on the hard fought game and great seasons. Being from northern Minnesota I was pulling for DE, but it just didn’t happen. East’s goalie was phenomenal throughout this tournament. He was so solid, I feel bad for him in regards to giving up that last goal.
I wish booth teams continued success next year,

It was the best $15 and 3 hours I've ever spent. Congrats to Eden Prairie and thanks to Duluth East for a memorable 3 days of hockey.
