Assuming all the top seeds win their quarter finals,which team(if any)will upset hermantown?
Thief river falls?
Breck?
st Thomas?

Don't know if STA winning would be considered a upset.

I think any game in which an undefeated team loses at State is considered an upset.

Yup. A #1 seed that hasn't been able to beat the Mustangs or the Evil All Dude Empire in years.......

The winner of the STA/Breck game wins state!

Too bad Hermantown has to play TRF on Friday would have been great watching them thump 3 private school single A teams this year.

I don't think Hermantowns gonna lose. They could hang with any of the seeded teams in the AA field.

I agree; it was total madness & all hell broke loose when undefeated Hutchinson went down in the 1995 quarterfinals.

All kidding aside, I do think there comes a point when it's not that huge of an upset. I wasn't shocked when Little Falls got throttled by Breck in 2009. I wasn't shocked when Roseau got throttled by Hill-Murray & Benilde in 2008.

Hermantown can win the title without a doubt, but I won't be shocked if STA or Breck beat them...anybody else, I'd call it quite an upset.

You can thank the Wingers for that one

There is a team in the tourney that can beat Hermantown quite badly. We have not seen them since early in the season and everybody has pretty well quit talking about them but they are still there lurking in the shadows waiting to strike. It is the team that kept many games with them close early on in the season and that would probably have ended their unbeaten streak had they been playing anybody at the time.

The team???

Hermantown............... the Hermantown team that picked up those dumb, behind the play penalties. That team that would give you a quick shot on the way past just to make a point. Remember, all of those penalties early on in the season were Pre-Jablonski penalties which means that a number of them in today's "market" could result in a major penalty rather than that quick to kill off 2 minute one. I am not saying that Hermantown is a cheap shot sort of team, they are not, but they also will not hesitate to go "there" with you, which might result in somebody like STA or Breck getting one of those long 5 minute major penalties to do some work and maybe pick up a goal or two. I would assume that the coaching staff has had a few heart to heart talks with them and has pointed out the obvious but ........................

Assuming that they don't go down that route I don't think they will lose again until next year sometime when they bump into some AA school or something like that.

I think that if Hermantown is to lose, it will be in round #2. That team from up northwest sure showed some stuff last year, and I'm thinking that maybe with a year under their belts......

I totally agree,I think Thief river will give hermantown a good game. Thief river only lost to them 3-1 in their last meeting early on in the season,and with this being their first back to back showings at state for quite some time, I think the prowlers will come out and make yet another BIG statement,it should be a good quarter final matchup,I think it is too difficult to stay unbeaten with all the great talent this tourney has to offer!! Good luck to all teams...may the best team win!!

I guess I should have added TRF to that mix of teams to thump the sandbagging privates hiding out in single A!!!

Yes. They'll be a heavy underdog but take heart from what's happened in Class AA today.

I hate to say it but I'll be surprised (and happy) if Hermantown beats STA.
