I find it hard to believe the Novas will win. They do have 15 wins but only 2 wins against teams with a winning record, Visitation, who they beat twice. They play a much weaker schedule than does Stillwater. But anything can happen in the sections.

Well, my 2 (Mpls Novas)- 1 (Stillwater) prediction is only a prediction and I certainly have been wrong before. It is true that the Novas play a weaker section then Stillwater so who knows it may be a Stillwater blowout. I guess we'll see when the final score is in.

Anyone know a score from the CDH - WB game?

4AA Upset! In OT

#5 Cretin Derham Hall 3
#4 White Bear 2

Does anyone have further details who was at the game? I think most thought WB would win. Must have been a great effort by CDH.

The 1st was back and forth, great chances on both ends, 1-1. CDH had a goal waived off (supposedly 'kicked in')--the girl made no kicking motion but the ref thought that if he yelled really loud that he could 'sell' the call but it was dead wrong. WBL dominated the 2nd but couldn't score (Jondal was awesome). 3rd was back and forth again, great action. WBL dominated the OT until #5 from CDH beat both D and put it in the 5 hole.

according to the stats, WBL didn't get a shot in the 3rd period or 1st OT.

It seemed as though WB ran out of gas. They didn't get many shots late in the game even when they had a couple of powerplays. Play was very even throughout the game in my opinion with Lenz making a couple great saves to keep the game going.

It seemed more like they just didn't have strong enough forwards to crack the defense of Cretin.

My take,

CDH played maybe 8 or 9 girls the whole game and was the difference. Wild, Carlson, Jondahl and Keys were very good and they wanted it more. They won't be able to do that against Roseville. WBL coaches seemed to play everyone which allowed 4 or 5 3-1, 2-1's and you can't do that in big games. WBL's late powerplays were awful. Lenz was awsome but it wasn't enough. Lenz made the save of the game on a late powerplay by CDH. Wild came in form from the point and one timed a shot that Lenz somehow got the glove on.

I noticed that the shot keeper wasn't putting up shots for WBL in the 3rd period or OT.


CDH's non allowed kick in goal was definitley a kick her foot went towards the goal and up! It happend pretty fast. I have the game on tape.

WBL had a goal that Jondahl gloved behind the line and brought back. Great play by Jondahl.

Goal was scored on a break down one side 1st D forced her outside like she supposed to. CDH's #5 put a backhand shot on net and it went in.( any goalie will tell you that backhands are hardest to save. She didn't exactly beet both D. It was a great OT goal. Great game.

Stillwater scored two in the first and one in the third. Dahl had two goals. Schwab had 1 goal.

After with time remianing in 2nd period Roseville 1-1 with Cretin. CDH was playing very well.

awsome game CDH was there to play right from first face off. Tournament hockey, this is what it's all about. Look forward to Saturdays game if CDH keeps up the pace it will be a good one. Congratulations to CDH and their players and Roseville for an awsome year. Again, it was a great game to watch.

Here's hoping that 21 voters know more than 4.

Congratulations to the CDH Raiders! Beating Roseville and Stillwater was no fluke. They deserve this trip to the State tourney.

tisk..tisk how could you not also include WBL with your heart felt sentiment. I’m sure it was merely an oversight.

Yikes! I didn't mean to forget the Bears. That was a great game. I guess I was thinking about the 'upsets' when I was writing that.

CDH is skating hard, now they have the feeling of winning their opponents are going to have to earn what they get. Defense is clearing the puck well and offense is taking advantage of opportunities presented. It was some really good section 4 hockey. Good luck, good group of kids and coaches.
