Note: All tickets are general admission. To reserve the seats you want for game 2, probably a good idea to be at the gate at 9:00 a.m. to get in and get em first. Especially if game 1 is East vs. Cloquet, gonna be packed!

I would think East would have theirs at Amsoil for the semis. I know Rapids band will probably be at the girls state tourney. The fan turnout for these games should be really good, especially during the 3rd period of the East vs E.R. or CEC game.
Might want to make it to the semi's before you send a band. I don't think the elk river band would want to come at 10:00 am and play for cloquet

Now that's funny, I don't care who you are!

This year Rapids has a much more balanced scoring attack. A lot of these players on Rapids and East met each other in the section title in bantams a couple years back and Rapids won 2-1 (major upset) due in large part to the goaltending of Hunter Sheperd.
Forest Lake 3 Grand Rapids 2
WHAT?...seriously...what happened? I'm shocked.
Attended the ER - CEC game tonight...great game which could have went either way. Esse can coach and the mere sight of those purple uniforms brought back a sick feeling. ER wins 4-3. Lakers vs Huskies won't have the same panache as GR vs Huskies...but unexpected outcomes happen.

I guess all those Grand Rapids fans that were arguing for the #2 seed were right, Elk River's win over GR really wasn't that great after all...

GR was overrated all season! Now I suppose this lose is the coaches fault? Would have been better off being the 4th seed like they should have. Let's hear the excuses!

I too want to hear all the excuses.
Was it injuries?
Sick kids?
Bad reffing?
Flake was lucky?
Hang nails?
Wrong tape on the sticks?
Come on rapidsrapids (alias HockeyDJ). Get it out of your system!

No excuses. Keys to the game for GR were to get off to a fast start & keep the pressure on. They got the fast start, but only played in spurts thereafter. Keys for Flake were to slow GR down, get solid goaltending & play physical. Check, check & checkmate. It was definitely an upset, so congratulations to Flake. Since there weren't too many GR fans on here pumping up their tires, it'd be nice to see others show some class, congratulate Flake & stop with the piling on.
Side note : The injured GR player is still in the hospital in intensive care. Thoughts & prayers with him and his family.

playoff games anything can happen, GR was banged up with injuries and some were playing injured and 1 was injured during the game and it didn't look good. FL played hard and were more physical than GR. GR hit 3 pipes in a 4 or 5 minute span in the 3rd with nothing to show and FL wristers one from just inside the blueline hits pipe and drops in, wasn't meant to be. only scoring 2 goals isn't getting it done against a team like FL. good luck to them in the semi's coming into GR and getting a win is not easy.
