Because they have another goaltender on the roster, who was probably getting tired of sitting on the bench? (just a guess)
Giving up three goals to Armstrong should not have been an issue. You shouldn't have a problem posting more than three goals vs. Armstrong, yourselves. Offensive firepower has been the problem at Wayzata all season.

Agreed. Their only chance is to hold Edina to a goal or two. Defense and Howe will have to carry the team. If Edina posts more than three goals, it's over. Wayzata does not have great offensive firepower. It's fortunate for them that their defense and goaltending has been stout, or their season could have been much worse. Limiting opponent's scoring to 5 goals only twice (never any more), is fantastic, but only scoring a maximum of four goals will not put too many ticks in the win column.
This squad needs an offensive boost. Hopefully, they can find such, for next season.

It appears that many of Wayzata's loses actually came on big ice.
I just don't see them staying with the Hornets on Saturday unless Giles decides to rest a few boys, but I don't think that is his style.

The Hornets still need the game to win the conference title outright.

Their home ice is big ice (olympic sheet). A lot of losses at home???

Edina's M.O. is that they come out early with ferocity. Basically, they try to jump on teams early and send a message. They primarily run two lines, like most teams. Because they put a lot of energy into the early stages of the game and limit the number of lines playing, their pace tends to wear down as the game goes on.

If Wayzata can match the ferocity early on and play good team D, they can make it a close game and maybe beat them.

However, I pick Edina to win this one 4 to 1.

It might be because the other goalie is a senior and they wanted howe to play against edina even though its senior night.

Anyone know how to get to Plymouth Ice Center?

(Assuming you're coming from Edina) Take 494 north to Hwy 55 (1 mile north of 394). Take Hwy 55 west about a mile to Vicksburg Lane and take a right. At the 2nd set of lights, take another right and go straight - you'll see Lifetime Fitness and the PIC is attached.

Yeah I went there for the Armstrong game but lost the directions, thanks

Well...the pregame show is underway

no score after 1

first period was about even on the edina side

not to be critical but i heard acouple mistakes

1-0 Edina after 2 PP goal Buddish

Edina is up 3-0 7:10 to go in 3rd

Edina leads 4-0. 1:09 remains

Edina 4
Wayzata 0

That's a final.

Hornets have a nice little streak going into sections.

Two shutouts against good teams. Who couldn't they beat in the section?

Well, I just got back, It was a great game and the iorny was we had like twice as many students as they did.
BTW, did anyone see me? I had on a Faded blue red sox cap, glasses, and a white edina jersey

Edina looked sloppy today. They played much better against Minnetonka on Thursday, but at least they came out with a nice win.

Wow that game wasn't even close. One of the goals was kinda soft. Just seemed like everything fell apart for the Trojans. Better luck next year.
